Taleo Connect Client (TCC) is a user friendly, easy to use tool. You can create powerful integrations between your Taleo Connect account and over 150 of the world’s leading HRIS platforms. The full user guide can be downloaded from Oracle here (you will need an Oracle Support account).

Taleo Connect Client (TCC) combines a user-friendly and professional development environment to design and configure integrations.

Taleo Connect Client Installation

You will need an account with Oracle Support to access the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud from this oracle support article.

As of January 03, 2019 the most recent available installers/files are:  TCC (client) 19D ; PIP (data model) 19A.1.0.3 

  • The 19A PIP can be used with earlier/later versions of TCC
  • The only new PIP/data model in 19A PIP is a Transitions 19 PIP.  The other files in the PIP remain the same as the previous version.
  • 19A PIP is compatible with TCC 17, 17.4 and 17.8, 19B and 19D

This video does a good job at describing the installation process. However the eDelivery software has changed its interface and, honestly, is not as user friendly. The video is about 3 years old and references version 14.

Taleo Connect Client Application Data Model

The Data Model installer must run first as the Connect Client installer will ask for the installation folder of the Data Models.

Taleo TCC Custom Library (Custom Steps)

If you want to do more advanced items as seen in the list below you will need a custom set of libraries. Taleo\Oracle delivers the package with source code and does not provide ongoing support or maintenance after initial delivery.  Like any open source object, customers are allowed to edit the code for their own purposes and take responsibility of the initial and ensuing code maintenance. You can use the button below to go to that OHUG article. You will have to have a valid OHUG account to log in and access the content.
