Ability to Disable the 'Submit Application Snapshot' Feature in the 'Provide Feedback Utility' from April 2024 update

Ability to Disable the 'Submit Application Snapshot' Feature in the Provide Feedback Utility

If your organization enforces a policy that restricts data access, which prevents Service Administrators from submitting application snapshot to Oracle, the Submit application snapshot check box in the Provide Feedback utility will be greyed out. A Service Administrator has got option to manage data access settings for the environment using REST APIs or EPM Automate commands. In this blog, we will discuss about the newly introduced EPM Automate Comments.

The setRestrictedDataAccess and getRestrictedDataAccess commands are available with this update.
