Cloud Connector Application Management

Cloud Connectors rely on applications to perform their operations and Oracle Enterprise Communications Platform (Oracle ECP) provides the minimum set of applications required to run the system. You can install and manage other applications to meet the needs of your deployment with the tools Oracle ECP provides.

Oracle ECP provides the Cloud Connector management tools by way of the Actions drop-down list on the Inventory tab. When you select an Active and Connected Cloud Connector on the Edge Nodes Inventory page and click Manage Application on the Actions drop-down list, Oracle ECP displays the Manage Application drawer with the following information about the currently installed applications.
