Create an instance in the Oracle Database Cloud Service (DBCS)

For the installation of the SOA Cloud Service (SOACS), a database is needed for the repository. This tutorial shows the required steps to create a database instance with the DBCS.


Starting in the My Services Dashboard, choose 'Oracle Database Cloud Service'.


Continue via Open Service Console


 A new service can be created via (surprise) Create Service.


The normal Oracle Database Cloud Service is required for the SOACS.


Choose release 12.1


For this tutorial, the Enterprise Edition will be sufficient. For production systems, the High- or Extreme-Performance editions should be taken into consideration.


Now give the service the necessary settings such as sizes and passwords. It is important to set up a Backup Destination, as that is a requirement for a SOACS repository. Use the Cloud Storage Container which has been created in the last chapter of this tutorial (format: Storage-IdentitiyDomain/Name).


A last summary, click on Create.


After a few Minutes, the new database is available. The creation is noted in the history below.
This newly created database can now be used as a repository for the SOACS.
