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.
