Activation Checklist
Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Performance Management and Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud follow an identical activation process. However, some questions should be considered prior to activating your subscription, especially if your cloud ecosystem comprises other complementary Oracle Cloud offerings; for example, Fusion Cloud.
Cloud EPM and Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud are quite often deployed along with Oracle Fusion Financials Cloud. These subscriptions can be activated into the same Oracle Cloud Account as Oracle Fusion Financials Cloud, and they can either share the same identity domain or use a different one. Also, your test and production environments can be located in different regions, compartments, and identity domains.
The decision to co-locate Cloud EPM and Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud subscriptions depends on your business needs and other factors such as the geographical spread of users and your organization's tolerance for administrative overheads. For example, you may have a situation where the EPM Cloud users are primarily located in North America while the Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud users are located in Europe. In such a scenario, you must carefully evaluate whether you want to co-locate subscriptions.
