Setting Up Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Bill Connect

note

To set up an OCI bill connect, the Manage policies and Manage bill ingestion roles are required. For complete descriptions of each role available in Flexera One, see Flexera One Roles.

Common Bill Ingestion (CBI) is a feature of Flexera One capable of ingesting virtually any cost or usage time-series billing data. Flexera One supports the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure billing ingestion using CBI. To build CBI-friendly bills for Oracle and integrate them into Flexera One, see Common Bill Ingestion.

note

Contact your Flexera account manager for more details on setting up an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure bill connect in Flexera One.

After the OCI bill connect is set up in Flexera One, the Flexera One Automation capability can automatically upload the bills on a regular frequency.

Creating an Oracle CBI Endpoint in Flexera

To ingest Oracle Cloud billing data using CBI, define a CBI endpoint (bill connect) in Flexera One. You create this endpoint by calling the Bill Connect – Common Bill Ingestion API with the appropriate request body.

Creating a CBI endpoint requires basic familiarity with Flexera One API authentication and making REST API calls. For more information, see Authentication and Bill Connect – Common Bill Ingestion API on developer.flexera.com.

The following prerequisites are required for creating a CBI endpoint.

• You must generate a refresh token. For information on how to generate a refresh token, see Generating a Refresh Token.

• You must generate an access token from the refresh token before making a request. For information on how to generate an token, see Generating an Access Token From Refresh Token.
