Enabling the ASR feature requires the initial configuration and test of the Call‑Home feature. Call‑Home provides a secure network connection between the Oracle FS System and MOS. If your network does not have direct access to the Internet, you can enter the necessary proxy server information.
The Call‑Home configuration page contains options for when Call‑Home triggers notifications to MOS.
The default setting for the Call‑Home server connects directly to MOS. Make sure that you do not change the HTTPS name of the Oracle server.
When you use the Test Call‑Home action for the first time, the system sends an ASR activation request to MOS. MOS, then, sends an email to the customer user administrator (CUA) with instructions for completing the activation process. Depending on your network connection, MOS should receive your activation request in a few minutes, but no more than 60 minutes.
The activation request sets the ASR feature to “pending”. The pending state means that the ASR activation request has been received by MOS, but the ASR feature is not activated to receive and to respond to event notifications.

After the initial Call‑Home configuration, and the activation of the ASR asset in MOS, the Oracle FS System sends daily and weekly system heartbeats to MOS. The heartbeats keep the ASR feature in an active state. If MOS does not receive these heartbeat events, MOS opens a service request for the heartbeat loss.
