As a summary, you need to create an email following 4 simple steps:

1. Create the email and contact the Oracle contact person as shown below
2. Use the proper subject line in the format required. If the subject is wrong, Oracle won’t reply.
3. Ensure you copy as cc the Oracle admins, Mihaela, Maneesh, Rick and the TAM.
4. Copy all the case details submitted by Oracle at the end of the email thread.

Notes:

1. Oracle doesn’t provide FPRs due to confidentiality since they include source code. If you really
need a FPR you can ask them for one file without the source code or request them to create a
sample code for testing purposes only and provide the file.
2. Every follow up should be sent via email, not SalesForce. Only the admins have access to
SalesForce, the Oracle contact person won’t be able to update thru the portal.
3. DO NOT close cases without permission from Oracle or their TAM.
4. Don’t set automatic follow ups.
5. When closing the case please don’t send the final email with a little summary of how the
problem was solved.
