Organization Name (Required - If you are an Oracle Partner, please provide the organization you are logging the idea on behalf of):


Description (Required):

Currently, OAC Snapshots can be automated using REST API, however, this model needs multiple teams' intervention like IDCS, and also Access token-based authentication is inconsistent and timing out randomly

Hence,

  • Snapshot creation is to be driven through a scheduler in the OAC itself.
  • Should have the option to specify no. of old snapshots that can be stored.
  • Snapshots can be downloaded to a designated storage area as a result of being removed from the Cloud storage or optionally at the behest of the Administrator.


Use Case and Business Need (Required):

The current Rest API method requires several labor-intensive steps, Hence simpler options in OAC itself idle and will increases user-friendliness.

    Agreed. The mechanism for setting up the REST API OAUTH configuration is too complicated. Allow for setting up a bucket for the OAC instance and scheduling the snapshot to be exported there.

    Agree.

    Snapshot creation and maintenance needs to be driven from with in the application.

    OAUTH is no suitable for a production system.
