GCN-01589 - Announcement: Announcing End of Life for Taleo Connect Broker (TCB) Integrations

We are announcing end of life for Taleo Connect Broker (TCB) integrations. TCB will not be supported beyond December 31, 2023.

Who is affected?

• Oracle Taleo customers who have setup Taleo Connect Broker (TCB) and are using TCB integrations and scripts will be affected by this change.

What is the change?

• All customers who are using TCB integration scripts will need to get their integration scripts exported and should plan to host their own scripts as TCC scripts. Failure to do so will result in the full disruption of the integration flows and services built using existing TCB scripts.

What is the reason for the change?

• Taleo Connect Broker built on legacy technology cannot be enhanced or modified to address newer requests and challenges. Taleo Client Connect (TCC) offers a much more scalable and rich set of integration capabilities and can be used as an alternate.

Actions

Customers relying upon TCB functionality must convert TCB scripts to TCC scripts. Recommended next steps are:

1. Start an SR with support to get your TCB scripts exported.
2. Formulate a plan to host those as TCC scripts:
   • Using in-house expertise to set up a TCC server and for future maintenance.
   • Using The Cloud Connectors to assist with the initial and future TCC needs. You can contact them at sales@thecloudconnectors.com
   • Selecting your own 3rd party consultancy via the Oracle Marketplace or elsewhere.

NOTE: For development/conversion of scripts, Oracle Support can only help with errors and general functionality of TCC usage.

QUESTIONS:

Q: Is the TCB dropbox (SFTP) impacted by this announcement?
A: The TCB dropbox is for sending/receiving TCB data and results files. After the TCB end of life, there won't be any TCB imports or exports.  This means that the TCB dropbox will no longer be available at that time.

Q: The date for the end of life is December 31, 2023. If a customer has a new solution ready before this, can they switch over to it ahead of the end of life date?
A: Yes. In fact, customers are encouraged to do the switch ahead of the end of life. When ready to switch, please submit a SR to Taleo integration support to let us know the TCB is no longer needed. Support will then turn off the recurring TCB schedules so that the TCB jobs no longer run.
