What Will You Need to Register For “My Oracle Support”?
Users will need permission from their organizations’ “My Oracle Support” (MOS) Administrator and access to their Application User License Customer Support Identifier (CSI). First, we discuss gaining access through your Support DBA;
Approval From Your Oracle Support Database Administrator
The first step in gaining access to “My Oracle Support” is coordinating with your companies’ MOS Database Administrator. Companies with existing Oracle Support Agreements typically have an Administrator designated to monitor access to “My Oracle Support”, assist with developing user accounts and monitor support requests. The database administrator will need to verify and approve your request to join the “My Oracle Support” database.
If this is your organizations first attempt to register Primavera products for support using MOS (formerly known as POINT), a support Administrator will need to be designated within your organization. We suggest coordinating internally to designate an Administrator before registering your licenses. Designating an administrator will be part of the initial support registration process (detailed below) and required to complete the steps to gain access and register for “My Oracle Support”.

Access to your Customer Support Identifier (CSI)
Once your MOS Administrator has been designated, users will need access to their Customer Support Identifier (CSI). The CSI was sent via e-mail to the person in your organization who purchased your software and accepted the Oracle Service License Agreement. Coordinate with this contact to gain access to the correct CSI number before registering for Oracle Support. A sample of this communication, including fields of importance, is shown below.
