Key Concepts

  • Enterprise Composition:
    • An Enterprise is a collection of mutually exclusive chains or clusters.
    • An enterprise can be provisioned in multiple OPERA cloud environments.
    • A chain code within an enterprise can be provisioned in multiple OPERA cloud environments.
    • A chain code and property codes combinations must be unique to an OPERA Cloud environment within an enterprise.
  • Chain or Cluster Composition:
    • A Chain or Cluster is a collection of mutually exclusive properties.
    • Property Codes must be unique in an enterprise and cannot be duplicated across multiple OPERA Cloud environments.
  • OCI Cloud Tenancy and IAM Identity Domains:
    • Each OPERA Cloud Enterprise is provisioned with a dedicated Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Tenancy.
    • Customers are entitled to two dedicated OCI IAM Identity Domains:
      • OCI IAM Identity Domain - Non Production: For non-production environments
      • OCI IAM Identity Domain - Production: For production environments
    • These Identity Domains allow customers to manage user access to their OPERA Cloud services.
    • The default identity domain is generally used for production environments; the additional domain is used for UAT/non-production environments.
    • Customers can create additional identity domains to:
      • Support multiple enterprises, especially in non-production environments.
      • Allow use cases, such as duplicate property codes, across multiple OPERA Cloud environments.
  • Enterprise ID and IAM Association:
    • A customer’s dedicated OCI IAM Identity Domain is tied to their OPERA Cloud Enterprise ID.
    • This forms the core part of the OPERA Cloud Identity Management (OCIM) solution, acting as the Identity and Access Management (IAM) layer for that enterprise.
  • Support for Multiple Brands and Franchises:
    • Customers with multiple brands that do not share data can have separate, independent enterprises for each brand.
    • Franchises can be represented as separate chains within the same enterprise.
