A workspace is created in the region that's selected in the Console. Select a supported region. After creating the workspace, we recommend preparing Fusion EPM before adding AI providers and mappings. Then connect the destination to review Cost Advisor data and insights. See Preparing to Use Cost Advisor for AI.

Before creating a workspace, ensure that you have access to an OCI tenancy and permission to create Cost Advisor for AI resources in the selected compartment.

  1. On the Cost Advisor for AI page, select Create workspace. If you need help finding the page, see Listing Cost Advisor Workspaces.
  2. Enter a name for the workspace.
  3. (Optional) Enter a description that identifies the teams, environments, or cost data that the workspace represents.
  4. Select the compartment in which to create the workspace.
  5. (Optional) In the Tags section, add defined tags or free-form tags to the workspace. See Resource Tags.
  6. Select Create workspace.
    Workspace creation takes about 12 minutes.
The workspace details page opens. Use the AI providers, Integrations, and Destination tabs to add connections. Creating the workspace doesn't connect an AI provider or an EPM destination.

Open Destination and select Add destination. Download the setup package in step 1, Prepare Fusion EPM, and have your EPM administrator complete the EPM setup and application configuration import.

Add at least one AI provider. We recommend adding both person and project ID mappings before connecting the destination.

Return to destination setup to set up identity access and complete the destination connection.
