Commercial Measurement Usage Metrics

Track commercial measurement usage metrics of your Fusion Applications production environments.

For a complete listing, per SKU, of how usage is measured, see Metric Descriptions for Oracle Fusion Offerings.

Required Permissions to View the Reports

Usage reports are stored in an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage bucket. You must be a member of a group with the appropriate policy permissions to view the reports. If you're a tenancy administrator, you already have access. The predefined policies for Fusion Applications Environment Administrator, Environment Administrator, and Environment Read-Only User also include these permissions.

If you're not a member of one of these groups, you must belong to a group with the following minimum permissions to view Fusion Applications environments and the reports:

Define tenancy usage-report as ocid1.tenancy.oc1..aaaaaaaaned4fkpkisbwjlr56u7cj63lf3wffbilvqknstgtvzub7vhqkggq
Endorse group '<identity-domain-name'/'<your-group-name>' to read objects in tenancy usage-report
Allow group '<identity-domain-name'/'<your-group-name>' to read organizations-subscriptions in tenancy
Allow group '<identity-domain-name'/'<your-group-name>' to read subscriptions in tenancy  
Allow group '<identity-domain-name'/'<your-group-name>' to read organizations-assigned-subscriptions in tenancy 
Allow group '<identity-domain-name'/'<your-group-name>' to read organizations-subscription-regions in tenancy

Viewing the Reports

To view the usage reports:

  1. On the Environments list page, select the environment that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page, see To list environments.

  2. On the environment details page, select Subscriptions, and then select the subscription ID.
  3. On the Subscriptions detail page, select Usage.
  4. Select the usage report name to download the PDF file.

The reports contain the corresponding usage metrics for the services being used for a particular production environment. They show what you licensed, how much you licensed, how much you're using, and if you're using a product that you didn't license.

Two commercial metrics reports are available: the SaaS Service Usage Metrics Report (PDF) and the Hosted Named User Usage Drill Through Report (XLS).

The SaaS Service Usage Metrics Report (PDF) is generated daily. It contains usage metrics for the current month plus the past three months.

The Hosted Named User Usage Drill Through Report (XLS) is generated monthly. You can access the raw hosted named user data, including roles and privileges assigned at the individual user level. The data for the report is collected with the help of a job called the Import User and Role Application Security Data ESS Job. To ensure that the report contains the most up-to-date data, schedule this job to run daily. For more information, see Configure the Import User and Role Application Security Data ESS Job.

You can filter the documents list by report type (PDF and XLS), or a report date range.
