# Oracle Eloqua Connection

Create a remote connection using the Oracle Eloqua connector to sync data from Oracle Eloqua to CRM Analytics.

## Create the Connection

1. On the Data Manager Connections tab, click **New Connection**.
2. Click the name of the connector, and click **Next**.
3. Enter the connector settings.
4. To validate your settings and attempt to connect to the source, click **Save & Test**. If the connection fails, CRM Analytics shows possible reasons.

All settings require a value, unless otherwise indicated.

## Oracle Eloqua Connector Considerations

Keep these behaviors in mind when working with the Oracle Eloqua connector.

- Connected object names must start with a letter and contain only letters, digits, or underscores. Object names can’t end with an underscore.
- Only field names with combinations of alphanumeric, dot, underscore, or dash characters are supported. If a connector includes field names that contain other characters, such as spaces or brackets, the sync fails.
- The connector can sync up to 10 million rows or 5 GB per object, whichever limit is reached first.
- Object names must not contain special characters, such as spaces.
- You can select up to 250 fields for each connected object.
- You can export up to 5 million activity records from Oracle Eloqua. For more information, see the [Oracle Eloqua export limits](https://docs.oracle.com/cloud/latest/marketingcs_gs/OMCAB/Developers/BulkAPI/Reference/bulk-limits.htm).
