My Oracle Support provides personalized, proactive, and collaborative support. You can benefit from integrated service request (SR) work flows shared with Oracle Support in real time to improve system stability and resolve problems more easily.
This guide provides an overview of My Oracle Support features and concepts. It includes the following topics:
This section explains My Oracle Support concepts and global features. It includes the following topics:
A Support Identifier (SI) identifies the products that your company has purchased. Some companies have only one SI but most companies have more than one SI. The SI is included in the welcome letter sent from Oracle to the technical contact listed in your company's contract. It is required to access Oracle Support Services, including My Oracle Support and phone support. A Customer User Administrator (CUA) enabled for Support Identifier groups can create additional SIs in My Oracle Support as required.
An active SI is an SI associated with a current support contract. If the support contract associated with an SI expires, the SI also expires. If you have only one SI in your profile and that SI has expired, you will have access only to your user profile, through the My Account page. My Oracle Support sends a message to alert your and suggest actions if the last SI in your user profile is approaching the end of its support period.
Note:
If you want to suppress the expiration message, go to the Personalization page on the Settings tab then click Messages and Warnings in the Reset Customization section. In the box that appears, select Support Identifier Expiration Warnings, then click Reset.An SI is used to register for My Oracle Support and, if permitted by the service level, it can also be used to log service requests through My Oracle Support or by phone. The first time that you sign in to My Oracle Support, you are prompted to enter an SI to which you want access. The request, including an optional message from you, is sent to the CUA.
On the My Account page, you can request that SIs to be added to or removed from your user profile. Doing this sends a message to the CUA assigned within your company who will review and approve or deny the request.
To view the My Account page:
Log in to My Oracle Support.
Select My Account from the menu that appears when you select your username in the top right corner of the My Oracle Support screen.
To find an active SI:
For hardware SIs, on the My Account Page, click Request Access, select Find a Support Identifier, enter the serial number and organization, then click Search.
Contact your CUA. On the My Account page, if you have any SIs in your profile, click View in the Administrator column to view the CUA details.
Refer to your support renewal quote letter which includes a list of SIs.
Contact your Support Delivery Manager. (Not applicable to all customers).
Contact your local Oracle Support sales representative, available at the following URL:
To request access to an SI:
On the My Account page, click Request Access.
On the Request Access tab, enter the SI and if desired enter a note to the approver.
Click Request Access.
See Also:
For information about the My Account page, see the My Account help.Your administrator can consolidate any number of SIs into a single SI or a different set of named SIs to eliminate clutter, making it clearer which SI should be used. CUAs can also create a set of permissions for the umbrella SI which make more sense for their organization. A useful strategy to reduce the number of SIs and to gain some operational efficiency as a result is for a company to combine many of their SIs into a small number of specific SIs to represent key projects or departments and assign users to these. Note that it might be useful for users to remove old SIs from their My Oracle Support profile to get a clearer view but users should be aware that they do need to have the relevant SI in their My Oracle Support profile to see related SRs.This way everyone can use and work with one SI (if this complies with the company's security and management policy). This consolidation is performed in advance through the Support Identifier Group feature.
See Also:
For information about SI Groups, see "What are Support Identifier Groups?".Note:
Main Location Phone Number information is shown under My Account for those customers that are associated with a site that has a main phone number specified.The Main Location Phone Number (MLPN) is your personalized, simplified reference number used to access Oracle Support for all purchased products for your location, and is usually the main phone number for the location where the products are installed or used. Oracle recommends that each location have a separate MLPN, and that the same MLPN be used for all orders for the same location. A new employee at any of your locations will be able to identify themselves using the MLPN if they need to contact Oracle Support Services.
For existing Micros customers an MLPN is on record. The MLPN is also collected as part of the order process for some product lines. If the MLPN is not provided at the time the order is placed, users will be asked for it if they contact Oracle Support Services. Where applicable, the MLPN information is included in the Welcome Letter sent to customers to acknowledge a new order.
An automatic email notification will be sent to CUAs if an MLPN is updated. For example, the new MLPN might be provided by someone from your organization when they contact Oracle Support Services. On receipt of this notification the CUA should verify the details, and if they have further questions or updates contact Oracle Support Services by telephone.
Note:
The Message Center is visible only to CUAs.The My Oracle Support Message Center, the envelope icon located next to your username in the upper right of each My Oracle Support page, alerts you to actions that you should take. The number of pending messages is listed in a link next to the icon.
The Message Center is automatically refreshed every 15 minutes when you are actively working with My Oracle Support. Click the message center icon or the count link to refresh the Message Center at any time. Select items from the Message Center menu to view or resolve the issues.
Note:
If a red arrow appears next to a menu item the message count may not be up-to-date.There are five types of messages:
Show Assets with ASR 'No Heartbeat' Issue
One or more assets was not reachable. The problem is mostly likely due to a network or software issue in the system's environment. Click the message link to go to the Assets section to view the list of non-responsive assets. To resolve this problem, consult the troubleshooting section of the appropriate user documentation for the asset, accessible from http://oracle.com/asr.
Note:
This message applies only to Sun hardware customers who have enabled Auto Service Requests (ASRs). The Oracle ASR service enables qualified Sun hardware to automatically generate an SR.Approve ASR Assets
One or more ASR assets require your approval. Click the message link to go to the Assets section, then review and approve pending ASR activation requests.
Note:
This message applies only to customers who have enabled Oracle ASRs which enable qualified Oracle hardware to automatically generate an SR. Seehttp://oracle.com/asr for more information.Note:
ASR is a feature of Oracle Premier Support and Hardware Warranty for qualified products. Assets that have submitted ASR activation requests appear in My Oracle Support Assets with the status Pending.For more information about ASRs, see the Systems help. This message will only be seen by CUAs who approve access and privileges to My Oracle Support for their teams.
Approve Pending User Requests
One or more user requests require your approval. Click the message link to go to the View Users region on the Settings tab, then review pending requests.
Associate Collectors
To associate a system with an SR, view configuration details or history, and be included in health checks and patch recommendations, the system must be associated with a Support Identifier (SI). This did not happen at the time of upload most likely because the SI for the system was not specified and you have more than one SI in your profile. Associate the SI with the system, then the system will be made available in My Oracle Support.
Support Identifiers Expiring Soon
The My Oracle Support Message Center includes an item to notify CUAs if any SIs they administer are due to lose entitlement soon because the associated contract will expire, and the number of users associated with the SI. For more information, see the "SI Expiry Notification to CUAs in the My Oracle Support Message Center" section.
Do you really only care about a few of the thousands of Oracle products? Use PowerView to eliminate noise from all of those other products. Create and save PowerViews for a specific set of products, turn it on, and automatically filter Knowledge and other regions based on the filter.
You can create multiple PowerViews to display information that you need in different situations. For example, you can set up a filter to show only information related to a specific SI.
See Also:
For information about and examples of PowerViews, view the short video available from Knowledge Document ID 1544003.1, "Discover how to use My Oracle Support - Searching by Product or Support Identifier using PowerView ":Note:
When you search for an item in My Oracle Support, if you have not set up PowerViews, a message appears with information about PowerViews and the Create a Power View... button.The PowerView menu is on the My Oracle Support title bar. To open the PowerView menu, click the arrow on the right of the PowerView button. Use this menu to turn PowerView on or off, edit the current PowerView, create a new PowerView, view recent or named powerview filters, and manage powerview filters.
Note:
Not all regions respond to all possible PowerViews. View the filter bar in a region to see which attributes of the current PowerView apply to that region.
After you turn on PowerView, each region's filter bar will appear and show which attributes of the current PowerView apply to that region. For example, the SR region might support filtering by SI and the filter will show this, but the Systems Alerts region might not honor any PowerView filters so the filter bar will not appear on that region.
If you use the configuration manager, more advanced PowerView options are available to you. See the Collector tab for more information about how to take advantage of collections.
PowerView filters override similar local filters. These local filters are disabled when PowerView is on. Some local filters (for example a search field) are still available when PowerView is on.
Tip: The PowerView Off label enables you to quickly toggle between turning on the last PowerView used and Off.
To create a PowerView:
Select New from the PowerView menu.
Select a filter type.
Make selections from the other two menus.
The contents of these menus depend on the selected filter type.
Optionally, to add more filter lines click the plus sign (+). Click the minus sign (-) to remove a filter line.
If you want to give the PowerView a name, click Name PowerView, then enter a name in the box.
Note:
Because PowerViews are automatically stored in the PowerView history, you only need to name PowerViews when you have many filters to organize.Click Create to save the filter and refresh regions.
For example, to create a PowerView that displays only the Oracle products that you use:
Select New from the PowerView menu.
Select Product from the Select Filter Type menu.
Select is one of, select one or more products from the menu that appears, then click Select.
You can enter a product name or partial name in the search box to filter the menu.
Click Create to save the filter and refresh regions.
To select an existing Powerview, choose one from the Recent PowerViews or Named PowerViews submenus.
If PowerView is on, the name of the current PowerView appears in the title bar. To edit the current PowerView, select Edit from the PowerView menu.
Click the name or description as a short cut to edit the current PowerView.
Note:
When a PowerView is enabled, it overrides any filters that may be applied to a region. To restore the use of regional filters, turn off PowerView. Only PowerViews relevant to a region are applied. You can see which filters are applied on the region's toolbar. Not all filters apply to all regions.To remove a PowerView:
Select Manage PowerViews from the PowerView menu.
Select a PowerView from the list, then click Remove Selected. Use the Shift and Control (or Command key on Macintosh) to select more than one PowerView.
You can filter the list by All, Named, or Recent. To further define the list of PowerViews, enter text in the search box, then click the Search icon.
There are three ways to use the PowerView button:
If PowerView is on, click PowerView is On to turn off PowerView.
If PowerView is off, click PowerView is Off to turn on PowerView and use the last active PowerView.
Click the arrow on the PowerView button to view the PowerView menu and access all of the PowerView features.
When PowerView is on, the text to the right of the PowerView button describes the active PowerView. Click the description to edit that PowerView.
My Oracle Support provides information through dashboards, listed in the tabs across the top of the My Oracle Support window. The main dashboard, the Dashboard tab, provides a comprehensive view of your SRs.
Note:

Is the data still loading and does the busy cursor appears on the region header? Some report functions or large sets of data take time to load. You can still use other regions while this is happening.
Is PowerView turned on and limiting the view? Turn PowerView off or change its setting.
Do you have the correct SI in your profile? Go to the Settings tab and select My Account to check.
Is there something in the search field that might be limiting the region? Clear the search field and re-run the search.
If you are having issues with page rendering, reset page customizations to restore pages to their original state by resetting column choices and widths, filters, and the selections of regions on the screens. See the "How do I reset message warnings?" in the Settings help.
My Oracle Support provides access to product documentation, training, and information search tools through the Getting Started region on the Dashboard tab. If none of these documents solve your issue, consider sending us feedback using the Contact Us link at the top right area of a My Oracle Support page.
If you use MICROS products, after login you will be taken to My Oracle Support Cloud Portal (simplified portal) where you can view your SRs and your personal details. You will see the link 'Switch to My Oracle Support' on top right and that link will take you to the full My Oracle Support dashboard. There is a similar link on the My Oracle Support dashboard to return you to the Cloud Portal dashboard.
MICROS customers who need to monitor many locations or have many SIs should use My Oracle Support (not Cloud Portal) for most of their service request access and management tasks.
