How do I prepare for a successful implementation of Student Financial Aid?

Before you begin with your implementation, make sure you have these items ready and that you've completed the referenced tasks to successfully implement Student Financial Aid (SFA).

  1. Activate your order. See Oracle Student Financial Aid: How to autoprovision a new SFP instance.
  2. Confirm you received the Welcome e-mail from Oracle.
  3. Verify access to your instance of Student Financial Aid (SFA).
  4. Verify access to your instance of Student Self Service (if applicable).
  5. Verify access to your instance of Oracle Analytics Server (OAS).
  6. (Optional) Submit a Service Request in My Oracle Support (MOS) if you want to request your environments only be accessible from specific IP addresses and IP address ranges through the use of IP Allow lists. When you submit the Service Request, provide the CIDR blocks that should be allowed access.
  7. (Optional) If you want to set up firewall rules within your network to allow inbound or outbound access for Oracle Services Network (OSN), refer to the OSN Public IP Ranges documentation. Use that documentation as the source of truth for SFA public IP addresses. You can poll the published file to check for new IP address ranges as frequently as every 24 hours. We recommend that you poll the published file at least weekly.
    For SFA, we recommend that you use the CIDR blocks for the us-ashburn-1 and us-phoenix-1 regions.
    Note: Egress traffic sourcing from the SFA Oracle Analytics Server (OAS) implementation uses a static address. For more information, see Oracle Student Financial Planning Cloud Service - Oracle Analytics Server Static Address.
