OCI Migration: Oracle-Managed Migration Continues; Customer-Managed Migration Not Available Any Longer
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. 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 Wave 2 (February 2023 Migration Notification): The migration of application data and users from Classic to OCI environments and the DNS configuration change to route the existing Classic service URLs to OCI environments will occur in the 23.05 (May) monthly update. If you prefer not to have the migration take place in the 23.05 monthly update, please run the skipUpdate EPM Automate command to skip the 23.05 update.
- If your environments are included in Wave 3 (March 2023 Migration Notification), you must already have received your OCI instances. You should 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 your environments are included in Wave 4 (April 2023 Migration Notification), you will receive your OCI instances in the beginning of May 2023.
- If your environments are included in Wave 5, you will be notified in the beginning of May 2023.
For Migration waves schedule information, see EPM Cloud Classic to OCI Migration Schedule in Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud Operations Guide.
Oracle is no longer accepting any service request for customer-managed migration. If only some of your environments were migrated using Customer-Managed Migration, the remaining environments will be migrated using Oracle-Managed Migration.
NOTE: At this time, the environments hosted in US-Gov and UK-Gov data centers are not eligible for migration to OCI.
