14.2 Getting Started with DBaaS

To get started with database as a service, follow these steps:

1. From the Enterprise menu, select Cloud, then select Cloud Home. The following page appears:

   Figure 14-2 Cloud Home Page

   
   

2. From the Oracle Cloud menu, select Setup, then select Getting Started. You must first perform the common setup tasks as described in Section 11.2, "Common Setup Tasks". This page is the main entry point for setting up database as a service.

3. Click the Setup link next to the Database Service Family in the left panel. Select one of the service types (Database, Pluggable Database, or Schema) from the drop down list and perform the necessary tasks required for the selected service type.

4. Depending on your selection, the list of tasks can be different. Any step that has been configured is marked with a green check mark and the non-configured are listed as not configured.

   Note:

   The service types you can access are based on your user role. For example, if you have logged in as a user (for instance DBAAS_ADMIN) who can access only Database service type, you will see only the tasks relevant to that service type. But if you have logged in as a user with the EM_SSA_ADMINISTRATOR role, you can view all the service types. See Section 3.3, "Defining Roles and Assigning Users" for more details.

5. Depending on the service type you wish to configure, you can perform the relevant tasks required to set up that service type.
