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.
