Working with Subscriptions

Why am I unable to create Oracle Cloud account in MyServices? I am seeing the message: Account setup has been already initiated or canceled. Please wait for the activation e-mail

On purchasing Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Performance Management or Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud subscription as a first-time customer), Oracle sends you, the person designated as the initial contact (whose email ID was provided while ordering the subscription), an email that identifies the steps to activate and provision it. For more information, see The Subscription Activation Email. Follow instructions for first-time customers.

If I am transitioning from the Enterprise Data Management business process to Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud, can I set up the standalone environment on the same domain?

Yes, the standalone Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud can be set up on the same domain as the existing Enterprise Data Management business process, provided that both the cloud account and identity domain are part of the same primordial stripe.

If I am transitioning from the Enterprise Data Management business process to Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud, can I set up the standalone environment on the same URL?

No, this is not possible unless the current environment is moved to a new location. The process involves resetting the environment, creating a new Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud subscription with the original Cloud EPM Enterprise Data Management business process name, and then performing the clone.

For example, if the current Oracle cloud account has the Enterprise Data Management business process name as edm1/edm1-test, the following steps must be taken:

  1. Move the app and data to a temporary holding location, such as epme3/epm3-test.
  2. Clone the environment from edm1/edm1-test to epme3/epm3-test.
  3. Delete the original environment, edm1/edm1-test.
  4. Once the deletion is processed, create a new Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud environment within the Oracle cloud account and assign the service name edm1.
  5. After the new Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud environment is created, clone the environment from epme3/epm3-test back to edm1/edm1-test.

This double clone process is only necessary if you wish to retain the same URL and business process name.

From a security perspective, can the same Identity domain and SSO be used when transitioning from the Enterprise Data Management business process in the EPM Enterprise Subscription to Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud ?

Yes, the security setup for Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud can use the same identity domain and SSO as the existing Enterprise Data Management environment. However, you will need to assign access within the Oracle Identity Cloud to ensure the appropriate permissions are set up.
