Prepare for Implementation

Prior to creating the Fusion Data Intelligence instances, you must complete these preparatory tasks:

1. ❇

   Activate a Fusion Data Intelligence subscription.
   
   

   See About Activating Your Oracle Fusion Intelligence Subscription. This task requires:

   • Fusion Data Intelligence Cloud Account Administrator
   • Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Cloud Account Administrator
2. ❇

   Set up user synchronization and single sign-on.
   
   

   See these:

   • Set Up User Access to Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence Using Single Sign-On
   • Using the SCIM Interface with IDCS
   • Federating with Identity Providers
   • Best Practices for Administering Fusion Analytics
   • Setting up Fusion Analytics and Single Sign-On
   • IDCS Sync and SSO
   • How to add the FA_GSI_ADMINISTRATOR role to a user
   This task requires:

   • Fusion Data Intelligence Service Administrator
   • Fusion Data Intelligence Cloud Account Identity Administrator
   • Third-Party Identity Administrator
   • Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Cloud Account Identity Administrator
   • Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Administrator
3. Prepare Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications. See Prepare Your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications.
4. Optionally, prepare to deploy Fusion Data Intelligence with a private endpoint if you don't want it accessible from the internet. This type of deployment requires additional network preparation. You can use existing virtual cloud network components or create additional components. See Deploy Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence with a Private Endpoint. This task requires a cloud account network administrator.

Prepare Your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications

Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications is the primary source of Fusion Data Intelligence data. As the Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications cloud administrator and functional administrator, ensure you configure the functional and non-functional components of Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications.

Review these configurations and modify, if required:

• Functional configurations - Examples of functional configurations that can increase the value of your analytics are:
  • Enterprise Calendar across all the Fusion Data Intelligence applications.
  • Exchange rates from Enterprise Resource Planning.
  • Age bands from Human Captial Management.
  • Opportunity and revenue snapshots from Customer Experience.
  See these resources for the subscribed applications to determine if you need to modify the configurations:

  • Prerequisites for Fusion CX Analytics
  • Prerequisites for Fusion ERP Analytics
  • Prerequisites for Fusion HCM Analytics
  • Prerequisites for Fusion SCM Analytics
  This task requires:

  • Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Administrator
  • Fusion Data Intelligence Functional Administrator
• Network preparation - As an Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications cloud network administrator, prepare the Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications networking components such as the access control lists and location-based access control to allow Fusion Data Intelligence to connect to Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications and extract data. See Overview of Location-Based Access Control and Verify LBAC Setting.

  This task requires an Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications cloud network administrator.

• ❇ Authentication preparation - As the Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications security administrator, prepare Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications to authenticate Fusion Data Intelligence to orchestrate data pipeline extractions and perform health checks. Authentication is possible through a JSON web token-based public key certificate and associated private key, or through a service account and password. Oracle recommends using the JSON web token-based authentication method because it increases security and decreases password administration. See JWT-based documentation to create the X.509 components and upload the public key certificate to Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications. Develop a certificate maintenance schedule to replace the certificate before it expires. An expired certificate impacts the data refresh processes and health checks.

  This task requires an Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications security administrator.
