# Connecting to Oracle EBS

# Oracle E-Business Suite support in Zero Copy Connector for ERP {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated October 22, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Zero Copy Connector for ERP reads business data from Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) through REST services, without copying the data into ServiceNow.

## Oracle as an ERP software family {#erp-oracle-ebs-overview__section_ebs_about}

Oracle EBS is available as a selectable ERP software option when you create an ERP system. Oracle forms its own ERP software family, separate from SAP.

For the steps to create the system, see [Create an Oracle E-Business Suite connection](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/vGf5TGVFNfPaNdQCC5S1bA "Configure a connection to Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.2 or later so that Zero Copy Connector for ERP can read data from your Oracle ERP system.").

## Supported protocols {#erp-oracle-ebs-overview__section_ebs_protocols}

Oracle EBS connections support REST only. RFC, IDoc, and OData aren't supported.

Because Oracle EBS uses REST, the connection uses the HTTP connection template and reports HTTP heartbeat information rather than RFC heartbeat information.

## Connection process {#erp-oracle-ebs-overview__section_ebs_connectivity}

Requests are routed through a MID Server.

## Building models from Oracle EBS data {#erp-oracle-ebs-overview__section_ebs_models}

Oracle EBS metadata discovery is manual.

Only read operations on Oracle EBS models are supported in the Use ERP Data action.

## Security {#erp-oracle-ebs-overview__section_ebs_security}

For information about role requirements and transport security for Oracle EBS connections, see [Security for Oracle E-Business Suite connections in Zero Copy Connector for ERP](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/JjZ2RlA5t0b0zO6qTQevNQ "Learn how access control lists (ACLs) protect Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) data in Zero Copy Connector for ERP, and which authentication methods Oracle EBS connections support.").
