OCI Migration: Oracle-Managed Migration Continues; Customer-Managed Migration Program Ends on April 30, 2023

One of Oracle's latest advancements, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), is the foundation of Oracle's second generation cloud. OCI, a purpose-built, best-in-class platform for running enterprise applications, is engineered from the ground up to run mission-critical databases, workloads, and applications while providing end-to-end security. Oracle's data centers around the globe are standardizing on the new OCI architecture which will deliver even greater performance and reliability. There are a lot of EPM Cloud features that are available only in OCI. See Features Available only in OCI EPM Cloud Environments in Getting Started with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud for Administrators.

Oracle plans to migrate all Classic Commercial environments to OCI by the end of 2023 using monthly migration waves. Oracle has started sending notifications for Oracle-managed migrations. You will get notification specifying the schedule for migrating when your environments are scheduled for migration. If you get the notification, follow the instructions in the notification.

Oracle has started sending notifications for Oracle-managed migrations. When your environments are scheduled for migration, you will get notification specifying the migration schedule. Follow the instructions in the notification.

For customers whose environments were included in the January 2023 migration notification: The migration of application data and users from Classic to OCI environments will occur in the 23.04 (April) monthly update. If you prefer not to have the migration take place in the 23.04 monthly update, please run the skipUpdate EPM Automate command to skip the 23.04 update.

If you were notified about your migration in February 2023, you must already have received your OCI instances. You should now go through the optional migration steps, which include setting up SSO and IP Allowlist, and testing based on your requirements. See these information sources:
- Oracle-Managed Migration in Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud Operations Guide
- Tasks to Perform After Cloning Environments in Administering Migration for Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud

If you were notified about the migration of your environments in March 2023, you will receive your OCI instances in the beginning of April 2023.

If your environments are in the next wave of migration, you will be notified in the beginning of April 2023.

If you plan to use customer-managed migration, you should start this process as soon as possible. Customer-managed migration program is available until April 30, 2023. Oracle will not accept any service request for customer-managed migration starting May 1, 2023.

New Version of REST APIs for Managing Users

A new, simplified version of several REST APIs to Manage Users has been released. This new version contains all parameters in the payload and does not require URL encoding while calling the REST APIs. The new version is backward compatible, so no changes are needed for existing REST APIs. In this release, the new version applies to these REST APIs: Add Groups (v2) and Remove Groups (v2).

Additionally, starting with this update, the roles required to run the following REST APIs have been updated to allow users other than Service Administrators to run them as long as they have appropriate privileges: Add Users to an Identity Domain, Remove Users from an Identity Domain, Add User's to a Predefined Role or Application Role (v1), Add User's to a Predefined Role or Application Role (v2), Remove User's Role Assignment (v1), and Remove User's Role Assignment (v2), Update Users, Role Assignment Audit Report for OCI (Gen 2) Environments, and Invalid Login Report for OCI (Gen 2) Environments.

Data Center: eu-amesterdam-1 (For OCI)
