# Integration via Ellucian Tables

We suggest utilizing Ellucian Ethos as the API connection layer for Ellucian Banner; however, it is not unusual for Ellucian Ethos to be unavailable. In this case, we can directly integrate with Ellucian Banner tables. 

The following sections detail the database tables and fields that ProcessMaker TCE will need access to. This information will help your organization create a customized database user profile to restrict access, enhance security, and meet any IT security compliance requirements that may apply to your organization.

### Authentication

The following settings/credentials are required to access and utilize the Banner API. These credentials ensure secure and authorized interaction with the API, enabling seamless data exchange and integration with third-party systems (here, ProcessMaker TCE).

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="201"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Database Host</td><td>The Ellucian Banner database hostname, URL, or IP address.</td></tr><tr><td>Database Port</td><td>The Ellucian Database listener port — If not modified, this port typically follows the Oracle standard setting (Port: 1521).</td></tr><tr><td>Listener/Service Name</td><td>The Ellucian Database listener/service name.</td></tr><tr><td>Username</td><td>The username created for ProcessMaker TCE.</td></tr><tr><td>Password</td><td>The password created for ProcessMaker TCE.</td></tr></tbody></table>

### Required Tables and Fields
