Create a User in Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications to Extract Data

If you want to use the password-based basic authentication to connect to your source system, then you must provide credentials of a user who has the appropriate privileges to extract data from Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications into Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence.

In Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, ensure that you’ve the Security Manager role and access the Security Console to create a user to extract data into Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence. Ensure that the password for this user doesn't contain any special characters or spaces.

Oracle counts this user as an Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications licensed user. You must assign the appropriate data security privileges to this user for bulk data extraction. Later, specify this user while providing the source details when you’re creating your Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence instance and updating the source details after creating the instance.

If you’re using the password-based basic authentication to connect to your source system, then you won't be able to reset the password for the prebuilt FAWService user in Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications. You can continue to use the FAWService user until the existing password expires. The recommendation is to update the connection details with the new user created to extract data, such as MyFAWExtractUser, before the password for the FAWService user expires to ensure continuation of data extraction. See Update the Data Source Connection Details. To provide the user credentials while creating a Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence instance, see Enter Details for an Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence Subscription Instance.

If you want to use the credentials of the user such as MyFAWExtractUser for validating the extracted data, then ensure that you also assign to this user the custom data BI - Abstract Role that was created for data validation; for example, FAW_CUSTOM_DATA_VALIDATION_ROLE. See Create a Custom BI Abstract Role. Otherwise, create a user such as MyFAWValidationUser and assign the custom data BI - Abstract Role created for data validation. See Create a User to Validate the Extracted Data.
