About Activating Your Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence Subscription

Before getting started, it's important to note that an Universal Credits (UCC) subscription is a technical prerequisite to activating Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence. An active UCC subscription must exist in the cloud account in which you plan to activate Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence.

Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence has dependencies on Oracle Analytics Cloud and Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse and these services are only available with an UCC subscription. Typically there's no additional charge for these services. For exceptions, see the Important – Read Before Activating section.

You can activate multiple Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence subscriptions in a single tenancy, but you can’t split one subscription and activate the split parts into multiple tenancies. You can create multiple development, test, and production instances in one tenancy using the multiple subscription IDs. However, note that you can create one instance per one subscription; you can’t split a subscription and provision the split parts across instances. If a subscription has expired and you bought a new one to replace it, then at the time of updating the offering, you can update that instance to use the new subscription ID.

After your order for the Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence subscription has been processed, you receive the following two Welcome emails in any sequence:

Welcome email for your UCC subscription - The name of the service in the body of this Welcome email is "Oracle PaaS and IaaS Universal Credits".
Welcome email for your Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence subscription - The name of the service in the body of this Welcome email is "Oracle Fusion <pillar-name> Analytics," where <pillar-name> represents the Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence application you subscribed to such as Fusion HCM Analytics and Fusion ERP Analytics.

On receiving both the Welcome emails, follow these steps:

Review the Important – Read Before Activating section.
Write down the name of your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account or tenancy.

Note:
A Cloud account is also known as a tenancy.
Ensure that you're a cloud administrator in your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account and have been granted the OCI_Administrator role or added to the Administrators group, whichever is available. See the Role Needed to Activate section.
Activate your UCC subscription into your existing Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account only if you don't have an active UCC subscription in your existing Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account.
1. If you already have an active UCC subscription in your existing Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account, then skip to step 5.
2. Otherwise, after activating the UCC subscription, be sure to wait until you receive a confirmation email from Oracle Cloud stating that your services are ready before moving to step 5.
Activate the Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence subscription into the same existing Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account.
- Wait until you receive a confirmation email from Oracle Cloud stating that your services are ready before signing back into your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account and verifying that your Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence entitlements appear and that the "Create Instance" button is enabled.
- It's also feasible to activate your Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence subscription into a non-Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account but this is discouraged. See Important – Read Before Activating for further details.

Important – Read Before Activating

Best practices are to always activate UCC and Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence into your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account. Doing so saves you time, cost, and complexity when setting up your security integration between Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence and your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, as well as improved ongoing synchronization performance.
If an UCC subscription exists in your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account prior to ordering your Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence subscription, then another UCC subscription isn't needed and would have been removed by your sales representative during the order process. You would then only receive the Welcome email to activate your Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence subscription.
UCC Pay As You Go (PAYG) subscriptions expire within 30 days of receiving the UCC Welcome email. It's very important that you activate UCC into your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account within 30 days of receiving it. If the UCC PAYG subscription expires, then UCC activation will fail and you'll need to submit a service request prior to trying to activate Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence.
Attempting to activate Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence before activating your UCC subscription will result in a warning message telling you to activate into an Oracle Cloud account with an UCC subscription. Go back and activate UCC into your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account and be sure to wait until you receive a confirmation email from Oracle Cloud stating that your services are ready before activating Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence.

Note:
This warning only appears if you received your Welcome email for your Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence subscription after March 8, 2023.
If an UCC subscription exists in a non-Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account, then activating Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence subscription into this non-Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account goes against best practices. It will cost you additional time, money, and complexity when setting up your security integration between Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence and your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, and reduced performance in it's ongoing synchronization. Oracle highly recommends that you pause the activation process and do the following:
- Ask your sales representative to issue you an order for a $0 UCC PAYG subscription that you can then activate into your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account
- If you plan on extending Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence with more than 50GB of non-Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications data, then you can set up a parent and child relationship between the UCC subscription in your non-Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account and this new UCC PAYG subscription so that the charges come out of the existing UCC subscription in your non-Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account. This can be done using the Organization Management functionality in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. See Organization Management.

Role Needed to Activate

You must be a cloud administrator with the OCI_Administrator role or be in the OCI_Administrators group for the Oracle Cloud account that you’re trying to activate your subscriptions into to activate successfully both UCC and Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence subscriptions. If you aren’t a cloud administrator with this role, then either:

Ask the current cloud administrator of the cloud account to add you as a cloud administrator and assign the OCI_Administrator role or add you to the Administrators group before you try to activate. However, be mindful of your account’s location when asking:
- If you've an account in an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management default or local domain, then a user with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure administrator privileges needs to add you to the Administrators group.
  
  Note:
  The prebuilt read-only Tenant Admin Policy grants administration privileges to the prebuilt Administrators group.
- If you've an account in an Oracle Identity Cloud Service stripe, then a user with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure administrator privileges needs to ensure that the Oracle Identity Cloud Service OCI_Administrators group is mapped to the Identity and Access Management Administrators group, and then add you to the Oracle Identity Cloud Service OCI_Administrators group.
  
  Note:
  The prebuilt OCI_Administrators group in an Oracle Identity Cloud Service stripe is mapped to the Administrators group in the Identity and Access Management local domain.
- If you've an account in a migrated Oracle Identity Cloud Service identity domain, then a user with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure administrator privileges needs to add you to the OCI_Administrators group and create the following policy rule:
```
Allow Group OracleIdentityCloudService/OCI_Administrators to Manage All-Resources in Tenancy
```
  Note:
  A migrated OCI_Administrators group doesn't have administrative privileges immediately after a migration.
- If you've an account in any other identity domain, then a user with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure administrator privileges needs to add you to the Domain_Administrators group and create the following policy rule:
```
Allow Group <Name of Domain>/Domain_Administrators to Manage All-Resources in Tenancy
```
Or forward the activation emails to a person who has the OCI_Administrator role or is in the Administrators group and have them follow the activation instructions.

If this Oracle Cloud account uses identity domains, then see the Creating Users section in Using the Console to create a user and assign the OCI_Administrators or Administrators group, whichever is available.
To add this group to an existing user in an identity domain, see the Adding Users to Groups section in Using the Console.
If this Oracle Cloud account uses Oracle Identity Cloud Service to manage users, then see Create User Accounts to create a user and assign the OCI_Administrator role or Administrators group, whichever is available.
To add this group to an existing user in Oracle Identity Cloud Service, see Assign Groups to the User Account.
