Description
Hello,
actually PAC (Private Access Channel) guarantees only DB data connection, but if you use Publisher to send files via FTP or EMAIL notification, PAC doesn't officially support this services.
Nevertheless, actually SMTP is working, FTP it isn't.
Please, consider PAC as a full network interface facing Oracle private cloud, in order to bring to OAC all services available on Oracle private cloud and on-premise.
Use Case and Business Need
OAC Publisher actually have to use a public FTP server to send reports, and also the mail server to send the notification should be public, because on-premise services are not officially supported.
Using PAC as a full network interface (as it already is), all services on Oracle private cloud (and on-premise) will be available to OAC!
Please note that some of this services already work (i. e. SMTP), but the support is not guarantee, then some services are not working (i. e. FTP server).
More details
We need to send reports on FTP private server because we don't want to share our sensible data to a public FTP server.
Furthermore, we would use services available on Oracle private cloud or on-premise through Oracle private-cloud
