After July 1, 2016‣ Marketers will no longer be able to add new Cloud Connectors
or Components to Campaign Canvas or Landing Pages‣ Current installments will remain available for an additional 6
months with basic availability and security fixes‣ Program Builder to remain unaffected at this time
After December 31, 2016‣ Support services will be deleted and no longer available for use‣ If campaigns or landing pages still contain instances of these
services, they will cease to function as intended until removed‣ Campaign Canvas: instances will be transitioned to a holding
step‣ Landing Pages: will render without the externally sourced

DEPRECATION OF CLOUD CONNECTORS/COMPONENTS
Next steps‣ Developers: immediately begin migrating their Cloud
Connector and Component Apps to the new AppCloud Developer Framework
‣ http://docs.oracle.com/cloud/latest/marketingcs_gs/OMCAB/index.html#Developers/AppCloud/appcloud.htm
‣ Marketers: if you’re currently using “Send to Cloud Connector” steps on the Campaign Canvas, or Cloud Components on LP’s, should begin switching over to Apps built on the AppCloud Developer Framework
‣ All: if the App you’re using is not available for use as an Action, Decision, Audience, or Content App, speak with internal dev team or 3rd Party App provider about migrating
DEPRECATION OF CLOUD CONNECTORS/COMPONENTS
R1 Cloud Connectors (advisory)‣ Although Eloqua has begun deprecating their CCs, R1 has not‣ Eloqua has deprecated some of their SOAP APIs, but the SOAP
APIs we are using will continue to be available for some time‣ Program Builder to remain unaffected at this time, so CCs to
continue to function appropriately‣ Currently aggressively working on versions of these apps that
will work with Campaign and Program Canvases
CHANGES TO ORACLE ELOQUA DATA RETENTIONWhat was announced
‣ Commencing with the arrival of Release 478 (March 2016), Oracle to introduce a new retention policy on marketing activities
‣ Marketing Activity to be stored for at least 25 months past date for Campaigns, Emails, Forms and Web
What does this mean?‣ If you want visibility of any activity that is older than 25 months,
you need to export and store that data external to Eloqua before the 478 release, as older data may be purged
Next steps‣ No action needed, unless you wish to retain data older than 25
months ‣ If you want to retain the data (e.g. year-over-year reporting), export
via BULK API and host locally‣ For more information, visit:
