Partner Portal is Migrating to OCI Console Publishing – What you need to know (and do) for Success!

Attention Partners: The Oracle Partner Portal Migration has begun

Wave – Dates for Migration

Wave 1 and 2:   Completed

Wave 3, 4 and 5:  In Progress

Wave 6:  Completed by 19 Nov 2025

We are announcing a new, simplified publishing experience on OCI Console and deprecating the existing legacy, Partner Portal. Oracle Marketplace is excited about significant enhancements to the publishing experience for our valued partners and business owners. We have important changes that will improve your publishing experience and enable us to better support you on the Marketplace.  

What’s happening?  

We have built a new and improved publishing experience on OCI Console taking advantage of OCI platform native Console UI and authentication in your OCI tenancy, we are deprecating the legacy technology so your publisher listing lifecycle management activities in the Partner Portal —like submitting and versioning listings and accessing reports—will be done within the OCI console going forward.  

Preparing for the Migration  

If you haven’t already, it is important to be ready for the migration of your listings by creating and linking your OCI tenancy to your current Partner Portal account. This will help ensure a smooth transition to Console Publishing by your listings will be available to you for management with OCI Console Marketplace publishing.

Frequently Asked Questions – Current OCI Partners

Q: What do I have to do for the migration?  

A: Ensure you have an OCI tenancy and input it into the Partner Portal.  See Preparing for the Migration section.   

Q: Can it be a free tenancy?  

A: You can start with a “Free Tenancy”, but they do have an expiration date, and you will need to convert the free tenancy to a Pay-as-you-Go tenancy after the free period.

Free Tier Sign up  https://signup.cloud.oracle.com/?source=:ow:o:p:feb:0723FreeTierFAQTop&intcmp=:ow:o:p:feb:0723FreeTierFAQTop  

Q: My free tenancy is expiring what do I have to do? – Turn it into a Pay-as-you-Go - https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Billing/Tasks/changingpaymentmethod.htm  

A: What should be my home region? The Home Region must be set to “Ashburn”.  https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Marketplace/become-oci-partner.htm#partner_portal_gs_prerequisites  

Q: Why set my tenancy to Paid?   

A: Your tenancy is created as Trial which automatically converts to ‘Always Free’ after the trial period or when trial credits are exhausted.  Oracle may reclaim ‘Always Free’ tenancies if it has no or low usage of OCI services, so it is recommended you convert it to a Paid tenancy.  You will receive no charges unless you use billable services in the tenancy.  Implementing the policies (next step) includes a ‘quota policy’ (which you can optionally deselect) that will prevent you from using any billable services … you can change the quota in your tenancy at any time, and it will need to be reset to publish listings with deployable artifacts.  Note that you can set to Paid later and it is not necessary simply for the migration, however if your tenancy is terminated your listings may no longer be available and listings and leads if you created won’t be available in a new tenancy. 

Q: What do I do if I create my tenancy with the wrong home region, not Ashburn? 

A: Convert the trial tenancy to a Pay-as-you-Go tenancy and subscribe to the Ashburn region. 

Q: How to add users to the OCI tenancy?  

A: You can learn more about managing tenancies at https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Identity/Tasks/managingusers.htm.  

Q: Where are my reports now that we have been moved to the OCI console for publishing and the history?  

A: The reports will still be available in the legacy Partner Portal.  

Q: Where do I find my current listings after my publishing account has been migrated?  

A: You can find these in the Listings section of the Marketplace Publisher.  

Q: Will my current listings be automatically migrated to the console?  

A: Yes, we will migrate all your published listings in the new console.  

Q: Where do I see the leads that are generated by a lead generation listing?  

A: The leads will be displayed in the console and can be retrieved via undated API’s located in the new SDK version 3.68 (https://github.com/oracle/oci-java-sdk/releases).  

A: To find your leads go to Marketplace -> Publisher -> Leads should be the bottom left menu item.  

Q: Will this impact current customers?  

A: No there are no impacts to existing customers that are currently using published listings.  

Q: How are the API’s changing?  

A: You can get the SDK version 3.68.3(https://github.com/oracle/oci-java-sdk/releases) which is adding support for stack, image, lead generation, and service listing types in the Marketplace service.
