Sun Legacy Partner Portal Tools and Resources

Important Information for Sun Partners Transitioning to OPN

The Sun Partner Advantage Program Membership Center (aka partner portal) was decommissioned on October 16, 2010. However, you are still able to access key tools. In some cases, the tools will be unchanged in the near-term. In other cases, you will be referred to a comparable tool within the Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN). The information on this site will help guide you to the tools you need to help ensure a smooth transition into OPN.

Several of the tools you are accustomed to using in the Sun Partner Advantage Program will be continued in the OPN program in the near-term. As the tools are replaced you will be notified.
