Implementing Student Financial Planning Cloud Service: Overview

Here's some information on Implementation tasks and security.

Implementation Tasks

This list contains tasks to get prepared for your Student Financial Aid (SFA) implementation.

  1. Activate your order. See Oracle Student Financial Planning Cloud Service: How to autoprovision a new SFP instance in the cloud (Doc ID 2725840.1) on My Oracle Support (MOS).

  2. Confirm you received the Welcome e-mail from Oracle.

  3. Verify access to your instance of the Student Financial Aid (SFA) application.

  4. Verify access to your instance of the Student Self Service (if applicable).

  5. Verify access to your instance of Oracle Analytics Server (OAS).

  6. Submit a Service Request in My Oracle Support (MOS) if you want to request your environments only be accessible from specific IP addresses and IP address ranges through the use of IP Allow lists. When you submit the Service Request, provide the CIDR blocks that should be allowed access. This is an optional step.

  7. Optionally, if you want to set up firewall rules within your network to allow access inbound or outbound for the Oracle Services Network (OSN), refer to the OSN Public IP Ranges documentation.

    For SFA, Oracle recommends that you use the CIDR blocks for the us-ashburn-1 and us-phoenix-1 regions.
    Note: Egress traffic sourcing from the SFA Oracle Analytics Server (OAS) implementation uses a static address. Please see Oracle Analytics Server Static Address (Doc ID 2976582.1) on My Oracle Support (MOS).

    Use the OSN Public IP Ranges documentation as the source of truth for SFA public IP addresses. You can poll the published file to check for new IP address ranges as frequently as every 24 hours. Oracle recommends that you poll the published file at least weekly.

  8. Create users in the SFA applications for anyone that will be completing the implementation process and make sure they have the role of System Administrator. To learn how to add users, create and edit roles, and update the password policy, see:

  9. Access the latest Release Notes available on My Oracle Support (MOS): Oracle Fusion Cloud Student Financial Planning: Release Notes (Doc ID 2613016.1). The release notes are organized by year and month. For example 20.10 for 2020, October.

  10. Download the latest API assets and the Baseline Configuration Release Extract from My Oracle Support (MOS): Oracle Fusion Cloud Student Financial Planning: Release Notes (Doc ID 2613016.1).

  11. Use these additional resources:
    1. Oracle Fusion Cloud Student Financial Planning: Integration Management (Doc ID: 2514682.1) on My Oracle Support (MOS).
    2. Oracle Fusion Cloud Student Financial Planning: Data Conversion (Doc ID: 2514676.1) on My Oracle Support (MOS).

Security Reference

As mentioned in Implementation Task 8, the tasks that people can do and the data that they can see depend on their roles, duties, and privileges. For information about these factors, see:
