For more information about how to use Mobile My Oracle Support, see Knowledge Document 1683083.2, "My Oracle Support How-to Series: How to use Mobile My Oracle Support ":https://support.oracle.com/rs?type=doc&id=1683083.2
For information about My Oracle Support, see the My Oracle Support help at the following URL:
The Mobile My Oracle Support interface is primarily focused on key tasks which customers need to do when on the go. It is a web site optimized for mobile browsers. Mobile My Oracle Support provides a subset of functions available from the My Oracle Support portal. The Mobile My Oracle Support portal is available from the following URL:
To use Mobile My Oracle Support, you must register in the main My Oracle Support portal:
For information on registering, see the My Oracle Support help "Registration, Sign In, and Accessibility Options" section:
http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=mos_en&id=MOSHP101
Before you can use My Oracle Support, you must have at least one Support Identifier (Support ID) in your user profile. A Support ID is a unique reference number that identifies your organization. Use the My Oracle Support portal to add a Support ID to your profile. For more information, see the "How do I add a Support ID to a Profile?" section of the My Oracle Support help:
http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=mos_en&id=MOSHP828
The following regions are available from the Mobile My Oracle Support home page:
Notifications (visible to Customer User Administrators (CUAs) only)
Change Requests (visible to customers who have Managed Cloud Services Request for Changes (RFCs))
RFC Searches
Knowledge
Service Requests
Saved SR Searches
More (to access Mobile My Oracle Support specific settings and some common links)
The Notifications region appears on the home page. It lists pending user requests that require your approval.
Note:
The Notifications region is only visible to CUAs, and only visible if there are pending user requests.When a user in your organization requires access to My Oracle Support or requires an additional Support ID, they must have the approval of the CUA in that organization. Oracle does not approve these requests. CUAs use the Pending User Requests region to approve or deny user access requests.
CUAs use the Pending User Requests region to approve or deny the following privileges for individual users for each Support ID:
SR Access (None|Read Only|Create and Update)
Download Patches (View Only|Download)
Support ID Admin (No|Yes)
Request for Change (No Access|View|Create)
To approve a pending user request:
Select Pending User Requests in the Notifications region. The Pending User Requests page appears, listing all pending user requests assigned to you.
Select Approve Request on the row of the user that you want to approve.
The row expands to display the privileges that the user has requested.
If desired, change the privileges for this user by selecting from the lists, then select Approve.
Note: You should only approve users whose actions are sanctioned by your organization. On rare occasions, you might find that you recognize the user's account but the user made an error when entering a Support ID for their organization. In this situation, you should deny the request.
Some customers require Oracle accounts to be created from a valid business address and not from a personal e-mail account. If this is the policy of your company, you should deny requests for accounts that use a personal e-mail address.If you do not know the person making the request, you should not approve the request. If they are a valid user but used an incorrect e-mail account (for example a personal e-mail account) they must change their e-mail address or reregister using their business e-mail address.
To deny requests:
Select Pending User Requests in the Notifications region. The Pending User Requests page appears, listing all pending user requests assigned to you.
Select the request, select Deny, then select Deny in the window that appears.
Note:
The ability to change the Support Id and manage notifications while approving or denying a request will be implemented in a future release.See Also:
For more information on Support Ids and privileges, refer to My Oracle Support help:Note:
The Change Requests region is only visible if there are any change requests for the Support IDs in your profile, and if you have privileges to view change requests.The Change Requests region enables Oracle Managed Cloud Services customers to track Managed Cloud Services requests for changes (RFCs). It is visible to customers with at least one Managed Cloud Services Support ID with View or Create & Update change request privileges.
You can request approval for, cancel, or add a note to an RFC if you have the Create and Update privilege for the Support ID associated with the RFC. If you are an Oracle Managed Cloud Services user and an authorized approver for the instance where the change should happen, you can now schedule and approve a change request.
RFCs have several statuses, including:
New
Ready to Schedule
Completed
Cancelled
Rejected
Aborted
Abandoned by Customer

If you are an Oracle Managed Cloud Services user and an authorized approver for the instance where the change should happen, you can now schedule and approve a change request. You can indicate the preferred date and time and check the resource availability.
If you schedule a change on Production instance without testing, you must acknowledge the risk and accept responsibility for scheduling the change.
You can cancel the scheduled change request at any time before the change begins.

All searches are case insensitive. ORACLE and OracLE are treated the same.
By default, all terms are joined by AND. Therefore, a search of ora 600 looks for documents containing both ora and 600.
Choose search terms (words and numbers) carefully. Too few terms will return results that are not selective enough. Too many terms will be too restrictive and will return results that may exclude documents that would have met your needs.
Use search functions and operators listed in the following table to refine your searches:
| Search Function and Operator | Example | Result |
|---|---|---|
| OR = string1 | string2 | blue | green | Returns documents with the words blue or green |
| Exact match = "string1 string2" | "blue eyes" | Returns documents with the string blue eyes |
| Exclusions = -string_to_exclude | eyes -green | Returns documents that includes eyes but does not include green |
| Proximity searches = "string1 string2"~ | "script start application tier services"~ | Returns documents containing these five words anywhere in the document, provided they are not separated by more than 100 words. |
| Grouping = (string1 |string2) word | (blue | green) eyes | Returns documents containing the strings blue eyes and green eyes |
