Key takeaways

  • Oracle Fusion Setup and Configuration Registry (FSCR) helps turn implementation requirements into setup plans and governed configuration activities.
  • Reusable AI skills and guided workflows help with planning, data loads, setup, and troubleshooting.
  • Starting is simple, and you can share ideas and experiences in the FSCR community on Oracle Cloud Customer Connect.

SaaS implementations typically start with business requirements documents and configuration spreadsheets. What follows is a mostly manual effort of translating them into setup tasks, sorting out dependencies, and keeping track of implementation decisions and artifacts.

Oracle Fusion Setup and Configuration Registry, or FSCR (FISS-kur) for short, helps automate that work. It’s an open-source collection of reusable AI skills, scripts, and reference workflows available through a public Git repository. It helps you and your implementation partner automate planning, setup, configuration, and validation of Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications. Its AI skills capture Oracle’s own product knowledge, configuration expertise, and best practices in a form that agents can use.

FSCR works with AI assistants and coding agents from OpenAI and others. FSCR skills help agents understand what setup tasks do, what they depend on, and how to execute them safely, while workflows connect related activities. For example, a performance management skill might include a configuration rule to check that section weights in a performance template total 100 percent.

You can begin with a question or an implementation objective, and FSCR turns this into sequenced, reusable setup and validation work. FSCR supports new implementations and the addition of features or modules to existing Fusion deployments. Oracle keeps the codified knowledge in FSCR current with each release, so that it evolves at the same pace as Fusion Applications. Customers and partners can also use this foundation to build their own implementation tools and AI solutions.

Turn requirements into setup work

Suppose your team has gathered requirements in documents and target configurations in a spreadsheet. FSCR uses those assets as inputs, maps them to Fusion setup tasks, and then builds a plan that accounts for dependencies. FSCR doesn’t make any configuration changes until you approve. You stay in control, retaining the ability to review proposed mappings and the plan before proceeding. FSCR can then perform the following tasks:

  • Create runbooks that document required tasks, record progress, and retain supporting information
  • Save project state and artifacts in a local workspace
  • Preserve plans, decisions, and outputs to maintain continuity and support handover to the teams running Fusion

Carry out approved configuration tasks

FSCR helps prepare and carry out data loads and setup imports and exports for specific workflows across Fusion Cloud ERP, HCM, SCM, and CX. For supported workflows, agents can also use that knowledge to execute tests and validate the results. (Check the repository for the workflows available for your task and related prerequisites.) Once FSCR is connected to your Fusion environment (using authorized credentials), it provides validation and requires your approval before submitting proposed changes.

Try it with a small task

FSCR is not an all-or-nothing proposition. You can start with a narrow scope to see how FSCR works and judge for yourself before expanding. These step-by-step instructions will help you get started:

  1. Get the repository ready: Clone the FSCR repository and open the local copy in Codex. Review the README for current software requirements and setup guidance.
  2. Get oriented: Ask “Introduce me to FSCR.” The onboarding guidance explains the skills and workflows and helps you understand the setup steps needed to connect to your Fusion environment.
  3. Bring a specific input: Start with a requirements document or configuration spreadsheet with limited scope. You can ask it to “Help me map this spreadsheet to Fusion setup tasks and identify dependencies.” FSCR will propose mappings, work with you to clarify assumptions, and address gaps before continuing.
  4. Continue with a supported workflow: When you’re ready, connect to an authorized test environment (Release 26D or later required) and provide credentials with the permissions needed for the work. Then ask FSCR to guide you through the next activity, review the proposed changes, and follow the workflow’s validation and approval steps. Keep the resulting artifacts so you can review progress and resume later.
