A small amount of information about your environment is sent to Oracle support to better handle your requests. To see an example of the information, select this link.

Systems (configurations) created in Disconnected Mode are the same content as ones created in connected mode. My Oracle Support viewing and usage of systems (configurations) is same in both collection modes. What s Different? Configuration management and RDA integration provides mechanism for uploading both diagnostic and configuration information as attachment to an SR Customer transports disconnected mode collections to a machine that is connected to the internet and attaches disconnected mode collections to an SR similar user experience to attaching RDA output to an SR 24 12
