About Activating Your Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse Subscription

Before getting started, it's important to note that an UCC subscription is a technical prerequisite to activating Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse. An active UCC subscription must exist in the cloud account in which you plan to activate Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse.

Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse has dependencies on Oracle Analytics Cloud and Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse and these services are only available with an UCC subscription. Typically there's no additional charge for these services. For exceptions, see the Important – Read Before Activating section.

After your order for the Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse subscription has been processed, you receive the following two Welcome emails in any sequence:
  • Welcome email for your Universal Credits (UCC) subscription - The name of the service in the body of this Welcome email is "Oracle PaaS and IaaS Universal Credits".
  • Welcome email for your Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse subscription - The name of the service in the body of this Welcome email is "Oracle Fusion XXX Analytics…" where XXX represents the Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse applications you subscribed to such as Fusion HCM Analytics and Fusion ERP Analytics.
On receiving both the Welcome emails, follow these steps:
  1. Review the Important – Read Before Activating section.
  2. Write down the name of your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account or tenancy.
    Note

    Cloud account is also known as tenancy.
  3. Ensure that you're a cloud administrator in your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account and have been granted the OCI_Administrator role or Administrators group, whichever is available. See the Role Needed to Activate section.
  4. Activate your UCC subscription into your existing Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account only if you don't have an active UCC subscription in your existing Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account.
    1. If you already have an active UCC subscription in your existing Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account, then skip to step 5.
    2. Otherwise, after activating the UCC subscription, be sure to wait until you receive a confirmation email from Oracle Cloud stating that your services are ready before moving to step 5.
  5. Activate the Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse subscription into the same existing Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account.
    • Wait until you receive a confirmation email from Oracle Cloud stating that your services are ready before signing back into your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account and verifying that your Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse entitlements appear and that the "Create Instance" button is enabled.
    • It's also feasible to activate your Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse subscription into a non-Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account but this is discouraged. See Important – Read Before Activating for further details.

Important – Read Before Activating

  • Best practices are to always activate UCC and Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse into your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account. Doing so saves you time, cost and complexity when setting up your security integration between Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse and your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications as well as improved ongoing synchronization performance.
  • If an UCC subscription exists in your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account prior to ordering your Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse subscription, then another UCC subscription isn't needed and would have been removed by your sales representative during the order process. You would then only receive the Welcome email to activate your Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse subscription.
  • UCC PAYG subscriptions expire within 30 days of receiving the UCC Welcome email. It's very important that you activate UCC into your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account within 30 days of receiving it. If the UCC PAYG subscription expires, then UCC activation will fail and you'll need to submit a service request prior to trying to activate Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse.
  • Attempting to activate Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse before activating your UCC subscription will result in a warning message telling you to activate into an Oracle Cloud account with an UCC subscription. Go back and activate UCC into your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account and be sure to wait until you receive a confirmation email from Oracle Cloud stating that your services are ready before activating Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse.
    Note

    This warning only appears if you received your Welcome email for your Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse subscription after March 8, 2023.
  • If an UCC subscription exists in a non-Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account, then activating Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse subscription into this non-Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account goes against best practices. It will cost you additional time, money, and complexity when setting up your security integration between Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse and your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications and reduced performance in it's ongoing synchronization. Oracle highly recommends that you pause the activation process and do the following:
    • Ask your sales representative to issue you an order for a $0 UCC PAYG subscription that you can then activate into your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account
    • If you plan on extending Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse with more than 50GB of non-Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications data, then you can set up a parent and child relationship between the UCC subscription in your non-Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account and this new UCC PAYG subscription so that the charges come out of the existing UCC subscription in your non-Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications account. This can be done using the Organization Management functionality in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. See Organization Management.

Role Needed to Activate

You must be a cloud administrator with the OCI_Administrator role or be in the OCI_Administrators group for the Oracle Cloud account that you’re trying to activate your subscriptions into to activate successfully both UCC and Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse subscriptions. If you aren’t a cloud administrator with this role, then either:
  1. Ask the current cloud administrator of the cloud account to add you as a cloud administrator and assign the OCI_Administrator role or add you to the Administrators group before you try to activate. However, be mindful of your account’s location when asking:
    • If you've an account in an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management default or local domain, then a user with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure administrator privileges needs to add you to the Administrators group.
      Note

      The ready-to-use read-only Tenant Admin Policy grants administration privileges to the ready-to-use Administrators group.
    • If you've an account in an Oracle Identity Cloud Service stripe, then a user with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure administrator privileges needs to ensure that the Oracle Identity Cloud Service OCI_Administrators group is mapped to the Identity and Access Management Administrators group and then add you to the Oracle Identity Cloud Service OCI_Administrators group.
      Note

      The ready-to-use OCI_Administrators group in an Oracle Identity Cloud Service stripe is mapped to the Administrators group in the Identity and Access Management local domain.
    • If you've an account in a migrated Oracle Identity Cloud Service identity domain, then a user with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure administrator privileges needs to add you to the OCI_Administrators group and create the following policy rule:
      Allow Group OracleIdentityCloudService/OCI_Administrators to Manage All-Resources in Tenancy
      Note

      A migrated OCI_Administrators group doesn't have administrative privileges immediately after a migration.
    • If you've an account in any other identity domain, then a user with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure administrator privileges needs to add you to the Domain_Administrators group and create the following policy rule:
      Allow Group < Name of Domain>/Domain_Administrators to Manage All-Resources in Tenancy
  2. Or forward the activation emails to a person who has the OCI_Administrator role or is in the Administrators group and have them follow the activation instructions.

If this Oracle Cloud account uses identity domains, then see the Creating Users section in Using the Console to create a user and assign the OCI_Administrators or Administrators group, whichever is available. To add this group to an existing user in an identity domain, see the Adding Users to Groups section in Using the Console. If this Oracle Cloud account uses Oracle Identity Cloud Service to manage users, then see Create User Accounts to create a user and assign the OCI_Administrator role or Administrators group, whichever is available. To add this group to an existing user in Oracle Identity Cloud Service, see Assign Groups to the User Account. To know if your tenancy uses identity domains or Oracle Identity Cloud Service, see Do You Have Access to Identity Domains?
