Important Reminder: Changes to the FAWService user - switch to JWT Authentication
Doc Reference: https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/analytics/23r1/fawag/update-data-source-connection-details.html
Blog Reference: https://blogs.oracle.com/analytics/post/using-jwt-token-with-faw
Following Notification email was sent to all Fusion Analytics Warehouse (FAW) Admins: This is a communities reminder to please review authentication used and make the required updates to avoid any impact on Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse service :
FAW Notification:
Starting Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications release 23B, the FAWService user is being deprecated. The password for FAWService user cannot be updated in Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications. This is a proactive notification to inform all Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse customers that after your Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications instance upgrades to 23B, you can't reset the password for FAWService user once it expires or changes due to a clone from another environment.
This will impact Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse service and you're required to take the specified actions to prevent disruptions.
A)
Impact : If you're using password-based basic authentication with the FAWService user, then the extract jobs will fail and the data pipeline will be disabled. Your data won't be refreshed incrementally and your administrator will be notified.
Action :
• If you're using JWT authentication for data extraction, then there is no impact and no action is necessary.
• If you're using password-based basic authentication with the FAWService user, then Oracle recommends that you switch to JWT authentication. Please refer to above Doc link 'Update the Data Source Connection Details' for specific steps. You may also refer to Blog link mentioned above for detailed steps.
• If you would like to continue using basic authentication, then you must create a user or update an existing user, assign appropriate roles, and provide the username and password in the Update the Data Source Connection Details screen per doc link steps. You can select the checkbox for 'Enable Username' in order to change the username from FAWService user to the alternate user. Please refer to Create a User in Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications to Extract Data for specific steps https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/analytics/23r1/fawag/create-user-validate-extracted-data.html.
B) Impact :
• Data validation requires password-based basic authentication. FAWService user credentials will no longer work once the password expires.
Action :
• Please refer to Create a User to Validate the Extracted Data or use an existing user with the data validation role.
Doc Link : https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/analytics/23r1/fawag/create-user-validate-extracted-data.html
• Specify the username and password for the user created in the previous step in the doc Data Validation Source Credentials page.
