Creating Subscriptions

When you create a subscription, you instruct Oracle Advanced Support Platform to e-mail, on a periodic basis, certain types of user reports to recipients defined in a subscriber list.

You configure scheduled reports by defining which type of report to send, the frequency with which the report is sent, and to whom the report is sent. You can schedule reports to be sent to one or more recipients.

To create a report subscription:

  1. Log in to Oracle Advanced Support Platform.

    The Oracle Advanced Support Platform page appears.
