Anyone see drop in Oracle consumption due to the Oracle Points changes?  Our cloud processor points went from "Cloud" to "On-Premise" and now ignores all cloud consumption.  Wondering if this is isolated or broader?

Hi @caldwellb,

I understand that Flexera's content team are currently investigating this.

Cheers

All,

We have figured out the toot cause. Fix will be provided in 04th August ARL release.

[caldwellb]

Great to hear. Thank you both for the updates.

@caldwellb not sure about the specific changes to Oracle Points, but it’s possible that others may have experienced a drop in Oracle consumption due to these changes. It would be best to check with other users or consult with Oracle directly for more information.
