Before You Begin

Welcome to Oracle Financial Services Cloud service! To get started with Oracle Financial Services Cloud, you must activate your subscription to the cloud service you purchased. Once activated, you can log in and start your basic configurations.

Activating Your Cloud Service

As the owner of a new cloud service, you need to make a few decisions about activating the new service. The main decision you need to make is whether you would like to keep the new cloud service separate from your other cloud services (if any) or not. If you would like to keep the new cloud service separate from your other cloud services, you need to create a new Cloud Account. Else, you can activate the new service into your existing Cloud Account.

Note:

If you are new to Oracle Cloud services, you need to create a new Oracle Cloud Account anyway.

The person listed as the administrator receives an automated email with directions on how to go ahead with either of these actions. Usually, this is the person who signs the ordering document, or the one listed as the buyer.

Note:

If you opt to activate the new service into an existing Oracle Cloud Account, the owner of that account receives the notification.

Once you have taken this decision, you can refer to the email we sent you for further instructions on how to create a new Oracle Cloud Account, as well as how to activate a new cloud service to an existing Oracle Cloud account.

Email Notifications

Once the order provisioning starts, you will receive a series of emails from Oracle. These emails keep you updated on the progress of the provisioning process. The email that you would receive and the actions expected from you are listed below:

Note:

Though the flow of emails/ events is indicated as sequential, not every step on this journey is mandatory or dependent on the previous step. There are steps that are optional, and emails that are just informational in nature.

Welcome to New Oracle Cloud Service Subscription: This email from Oracle Cloud gives you two options:
- Add to existing Cloud Account
