Usage Billing

Use this utility to track your case volume by generating various license usage reports.

What does it do?

The Usage Billing utility adds the case usage counting capability to Oracle Argus Cloud Service, allowing you to track the case volume to support subscription and license compliance.

This utility can generate the following reports:

• Case Perpetual Report (Whole Month Report) - counts the total number of new cases created over a specified period rolled down by each calendar month / year.
• Case Subscription Report - counts the total number of new cases created over a specified period from the Subscription Start Date rolled down by quarter and pseudo month.
• User Perpetual Report (Whole Month Report) - counts the total number of new human users (that is, excluding system users) created in user tables over a specified period rolled down by each calendar month / year for the specified period.
• User Subscription Report - counts the total number of new human users (that is, excluding system users) created in user tables over a specified period from the Subscription Start Date rolled down by quarter and pseudo month.

The Usage Billing utility provides support for both Oracle Argus Cloud Service Subscriptions and Argus Perpetual license customers.

How do I get it?

The Usage Billing utility is available for you by default. To obtain usage reports based on your subscription for a specified time interval, you need to create a change request (CR) in Life Sciences Customer Support Portal. After logging the CR, the Oracle AMS team will send you the requested reports.
