The Service Requests page provides filters that enable you to display the service requests (SRs) that you want to see. When you click a link in the SR Number column, the SR opens in a new tab or window depending on your browser and configuration settings.
An SR can have one of the following statuses:
Needs Attention - Oracle Support is waiting for you to update the SR.
Oracle Working - Oracle Support is working on the SR.
Closed - The SR is closed and will no longer be worked on.
To filter SRs on the Service Requests page, select from the following options:
Service Type, Service Name, or Product (for MICROS users).
Status. If you select Open from the Status menu, SRs with the status Oracle Working or Needs Attention are listed.
Last Updated. To restrict the SRs displayed, select Last Week, Last Month, or Last Year. SRs within the selected time period will be displayed.
Created by Me. Select this option to display only the SRs that you created.
To sort by a column in the SR table, click the up or down arrow next to the column name. Hover over a column name to display the arrows.
SRs and bugs have one of the following classifications:
Severity 1 - Complete loss of service for mission critical operations where work cannot reasonably continue.
Note:
For more information, see Managing Severity 1 Service Requests at the following URL:https://support.oracle.com/rs?type=doc&id=1495338.1
Severity 2 - Significant or degraded loss of service or resources.
Severity 3 - Minor loss of services or resources.
Severity 4 - No work being impeded at the time - information is requested or reported.
The severity of an SR or bug reflects the business impact. The urgency reflects the time frame required for resolving the business issue. A Severity 2 issue that needs to be resolved within two days does not have the same priority of a Severity 1 issue. Discuss the issue and the time line for resolution with your Oracle support engineer to ensure that they understand the impact to your business and to ensure that the appropriate severity level is established.
Changing the severity is appropriate if the actual business impact has changed. It is important for your organization, for Global Customer Support, and for all of the other users of Oracle Support that severity levels reflect the actual business impact.

The service type is the type of service or product to which your company has subscribed. A service name is the instance where the service or product is running. For MICROS users, these are the products that your company has purchased.
Oracle Cloud Support portal displays SRs associated with your Cloud Services and MICROS products. If you do not see your SR in Oracle Cloud Support, this might be because the product was changed internally and is no longer associated with a Cloud Services or MICROS product. In this case, you can view the SR through My Oracle Support.
To switch to My Oracle Support, click Switch to My Oracle Support at the top of any page. To return to Cloud Support, click Switch to Cloud Support at the top of any My Oracle Support page.
To create an SR, click Create Service Request at the bottom of the Service Requests page.
Note:
You can also create SRs from the Dashboard page.The Create Service Request wizard guides you through the SR creation process. After you complete the mandatory information on the first page, you have the option of submitting the SR, or providing more information to assist Oracle Support to understand the problem and expedite a resolution. Click Next to provide additional information and attach documents to the SR (if desired) or click Submit to create the SR.
Note:
If none of the support identifiers (SIs) in your profile has the Create SR privilege, the Create SR button is disabled.Note:
SR alternate contact can only be specfied during the SR creation process for Severity 1 SRs.The following preferred contact methods are available for working with an SR:
Web (through My Oracle Support)
Phone
Contact through the web is preferred, and will facilitate secure communication with Oracle Support. However, to receive service request details by email, you must select Email as the contact method.
You will receive an email notification when an update is made to an SR for which you are listed as a primary contact. The notification contains a link to the SR sign in Oracle Cloud Support page where you can view the SR details.
However, if you select Email as the contact method, you will receive the details of the SR update in an email (and not just the link to the SR log). Note that sending actual updates through mail is not as secure as logging in to Oracle Cloud Support to view updates.
Note:
Before this option is available through Create Service Request, it must first be approved by your Customer User Administrator (CUA) for the Support Identifier (SI).After CUA approval:
