• For an Oracle Base Database Cloud@Customer VM Cluster, reduce the ECPU count to zero.

Support Requirements

Oracle AI Database Support is required to run a database on Oracle Base Database Cloud@Customer. Customers using the license-included option receive support through their database cloud subscription. Customers who bring their own licenses (BYOL) to Oracle Base Database Cloud@Customer must have a valid support contract covering the database licenses used with the service. Customers are responsible for applying database updates in a timely manner to protect against product issues and security vulnerabilities.

Oracle Applications Unlimited products, including Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, Siebel, and Hyperion applications, require ongoing updates to ensure continued interoperability. As such, Oracle requires customers to maintain an active Oracle support contract for any of these programs running on Oracle Base Database Cloud@Customer. Note that third party support does not satisfy this requirement. This requirement shall not be interpreted as superseding anything in the Oracle Technical Support Policies, including, but not limited to, the Matching Service Level requirement.
