Purchase and Activation of Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications

Purchase, activate, and manage services for Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications services.

The process involves:

• Purchasing and activating your services.

• Verifying that the services are activated, monitoring the services, and performing other administrative tasks.

The documentation relevant to your subscriptions depends on which console your cloud service uses.

See: Which Console Documentation Should I Use?

• Oracle Cloud Classic (My Services) Console:
  • Purchasing and activating services is described in Oracle Cloud: Getting Started with Oracle Cloud.
  • Many administrative tasks are covered in Oracle Cloud: Managing and Monitoring Oracle Cloud.

Note: Not everything in these guides is relevant to Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, for example details about Oracle Java Cloud Service and Oracle Database Cloud Service.

• Oracle Cloud Console: See Applications Services.

All of the following references point to one of these guides.

Terminology and User Privileges

• Before you proceed, you should understand terms that are used in documentation about Oracle Cloud.

  See: Oracle Cloud Terminology

• You should also be familiar with privileges for users of the Oracle Cloud website or of the actual service.

  See: Learn About Cloud Account Roles

Service Purchase and Activation

• Your buyer or an Oracle sales representative orders a cloud service and specifies information about the account administrator during the ordering process.

  See: Order Oracle Cloud Applications

• The account administrator receives an email with a link to activate the service. As part of activation, the account administrator provides information about the administrator who performs the functions of both the service administrator and the identity domain administrator. The documentation to refer to depends on which console your cloud service uses.

Alternative Versions of Specified Oracle Services

From time to time, at Oracle’s sole discretion, Oracle may make alternative versions of specified Oracle services available for customers to access on a limited basis. These alternative versions may not have the same feature sets as the versions of these services for which a fee is paid, and Oracle may terminate and no longer make available these alternative versions at any time.

Next Steps

• The administrator who was identified during the activation process:

  • Manages and monitors the service. The documentation to refer to depends on which console your cloud service uses.

      • My Account Administration
      • Performing Service-Specific Tasks
    • Oracle Cloud Console: Fusion Applications Environment Management

  • Optionally create initial administrator and implementation users before enterprise structures setup.

    Alternatively, the administrator sets up enterprise structures and then creates service users, including functional implementors.

• Functional implementors perform configuration and setup steps.

• Developers can add features to extend the application.

• Your cloud service will be updated on a regular basis. See Oracle Applications Cloud - Fusion Applications Update Policy (Doc ID 1966109.1) on My Oracle Support.
