Differences Between Classic and OCI EPM Cloud Environments
Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud business processes function the same irrespective of the Oracle Fusion Cloud EPM infrastructure in use. However, there are some differences between EPM Cloud operations in Classic and OCI environments.
Table 2-1 Differences between Classic and OCI environments
Classic Functionality | Equivalent OCI Functionality | |
---|---|---|
URL formats | URLs identify instance name, identity domain, EPM Cloud family, data
center region, and application context in the following format:
https://epm-idDomain.epm.dataCenterRegion.oraclecloud.com/epmcloud For example:https://epm-exampleDoM.epm.exampleDC.oraclecloud.com/epmcloud |
URLs identify instance name, Cloud
Account name, EPM Cloud
family, data center region, and an application context in the following
format:
https://Instance_name-Cloud_Account_name.epm.data_center_region.cloud_domain/epmcloud For example:https://acme-epmidm.epm.us-phoenix-1.ocs.oraclecloud.com/epmcloud |
