Cloud Connector Platform Management
Oracle Enterprise Communications Platform (Oracle ECP) uses a group of components called a platform to operate Cloud Connectors and provides the Platform Manager tool on the User Interface to help you manage and coordinate the platform components. Oracle installs the platform on the Cloud Connectors initially, but you may periodically need to update the versions of the platform components.
The platform includes the Platform Manager, the Operating System, the Global Business
Unit (GBU) component, and some drivers. To use the Platform Manager, select a Cloud Connector on the Edge Nodes Inventory page that is in the
Supported state and click Manage Platform on the Actions menu. Oracle ECP opens the Manage Platform drawer where you can
select different versions of the components to deploy on the Cloud Connectors. The drawer displays following information about the currently
available platforms.
- Edge ID—The ID number of the selected Cloud Connector. Valid values: 5 to 100 alphanumeric characters. Can include the underscore and hyphen characters. The edge ID must be unique for the tenant.
- Serial Number—The serial number of the selected Cloud Connector. Valid values: 5 to 100 alphanumeric characters. Can include the underscore and hyphen characters.
- MAC Address—The MAC address of the selected Cloud Connector. Valid values: Hexadecimal 0-9, A-F, and a-f. Format: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX or XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX or XXXX.XXXX.XXXX .
- Model—The model name of the selected Cloud Connector. Valid values: 0-100 alphanumeric characters. Only the underscore, hyphen, and space special characters allowed. The model must start with an alphanumeric character.
- Current Platform—The names of the currently installed platform packages.
- Version—The version of each platform currently installed.
In the Manage Platform drawer, when you click the Select a new
package for deployment drop-down list, Oracle ECP displays a list of all available platform packages with the following
information:
- Package Name—The names and versions of the available packages.
- Creator—The name of the person or entity that created the application. (Optional—May or may not display a name.)
- Creation Date—The date when the version of the package was created.
- Expiration Date—The date when the version of the package expires.
In the Manage Platform drawer, when you select a platform, Oracle ECP displays the following information about the
platform:
- Creation Date—The date when the version of the package was created.
- Expiration Date—The date when the version of the package expires.
- Documentation—The link to the package Release Notes or other documentation, if available.
- Package Contents—The description of each component in the selected package.
- Version—The version of each component in the selected package.
The Manage Platform drawer shows the deployment options below the selected package. The only supported choice at this time is Immediate, which deploys the package right away when you click Deploy.
