  6. To clone an environment, click the Actions icon next to that environment, and then select Clone. Note that you can use this cloning method only for an existing environment that was successfully provisioned on Compute or Base Database Service DB System. See Clone an Oracle E-Business Suite Instance.

  7. To create a backup of an environment, click the Actions icon next to that environment, and then select Create Backup. Note that you can back up only an existing environment that was successfully provisioned. See Create a Backup of a Cloud-Based Oracle E-Business Suite Environment.

  8. To promote a standby environment to a production environment, click the Actions icon next to that environment, and then select Promote. Note that you can promote only an existing standby environment that was successfully set up. See Promote a Standby Environment.

  9. To delete an environment, click the Actions icon next to that environment, and then select Delete. You can delete existing environments or standby environments that you no longer need. You can also delete incomplete installations from unsuccessful provisioning attempts that you do not want to restart. See Delete an Oracle E-Business Suite Environment.
