For My Oracle Support Community Users...
On January 31, 2014, we plan to migrate the My Oracle Support Community (MOSC) to the same platform used for the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) forums. This platform will bring new community features to help make it easier to find information through a more intuitive interface, and enhance the way you connect with Oracle experts and industry peers. If you are a user who has the same email address that accesses both My Oracle Support Community and OTN forums, as part of the migration to a single platform these profiles will be merged and the following will occur:
- Activities and points from both accounts will be combined into a single consolidated account
- Your OTN handle will be preserved and you will continue to use your email address to access My Oracle Support Community and OTN forums
- Your existing username will become visible to both My Oracle Support Community and OTN forum members, however, we will set all of your other profile information to be private
- Some of your existing profile information will not be migrated and will need to be re-entered into your new account profile
