# Connecting SailPoint and Oracle HRMS To connect SailPoint with Oracle HRMS, perform the following tasks: ## Adding the Source in SailPoint To connect to SailPoint, perform the following steps. Once the connection is made, you can configure it to meet your company's needs. > [!IMPORTANT] > > By default, the provisioning feature is **disabled**, and the connector only supports read-only operations. To support provisioning operations, you must manually enable the feature in the source configuration. **To configure a new source:** 1. Sign in to SailPoint. 2. Go to **Admin \> Connections \> Sources**. 3. Select **Create New**. 4. Search for the connector by entering the name in the search box, and then select **Configure**. 5. In the **Source Name** field, enter a unique and descriptive name for your source. Source names cannot exceed 128 characters. 6. In the **Description** field, provide additional details about the source to help distinguish it from similar sources. This field allows a maximum of 2,000 characters. 7. In the **Source Owner** field, begin typing the name of an owner. Matches appear after you type two or more letters. For more information, refer to [Assigning a Source Owner](). 8. Under **Connection Type**, select **Direct Connection** or **Flat File**. - **Direct Connection** - A direct connection fetches data from the **Virtual Appliance Cluster** you choose as the application connector for the source. A direct connection configuration allows for real-time updates. For more information about configuring and deploying virtual appliances, refer to the [Virtual Appliance Reference Guide](). - **Flat File** - Select the flat file if no connector is available, or if another system restricts the connection. This option allows only reading and aggregating data as a generic/delimited application. Provisioning activity is unsupported, and additional configuration pages like connection settings and aggregation settings are unavailable. 9. If you selected **Direct Connection**, in **Virtual Appliance Cluster**, select the virtual appliance cluster that will be used as the application connector for the source. 10. (Optional) Select a governance group to grant its members [source]() or [role]() sub-admin level oversight of the source and its access. For more information, refer to [Creating and Managing Governance Groups](). 11. If this source represents a primary system containing your organization's personnel records, select the **Authoritative Source** checkbox. For more information, refer to [Creating Identity Profiles](). 12. Select **Continue**. The source is created, and you are navigated to the **Source Setup \> Base Configuration** page.
