Edit the Number of Message Packs
You can edit the number of message packs you subscribe to for an Oracle Integration 3 instance using the user interface or the command line.
Note
- There is no instance downtime when you change the number of message packs. However, message pack updates can fail when maintenance or security patching is in progress. After updating the number of message packs, it can take up to 24 hours for additional resources to be added to the instance.
- You are responsible for billing based on the number of message packs you select. Select enough message packs to adequately handle your instance's activity. See Estimate Message Pack Usage for a Metered Tenancy.
- Non-production instances, for example instances for development or QA, typically need only one message pack.
- The number of message packs you subscribe to can also affect the processing time of synchronous requests. See Message Pack Usage and Synchronous/Asynchronous Requests.
- To understand how billing message usage is calculated for different features, see How Features Impact Billing Messages.
Message pack size is based on the type of Oracle Integration license you selected.
- For Oracle Integration:
If you created a new Oracle Integration license in the cloud:
- Each message pack includes 5,000 billing messages per hour.
- You can subscribe to up to 100 message packs.
If you brought an existing Oracle Fusion Middleware license to the cloud (BYOL):- Each message pack includes 20,000 billing messages per hour.
- You can subscribe to up to 100 message packs.
- For Oracle Integration for SaaS:
- Each message pack includes 1 million billing messages per month. Usage is tracked on a monthly basis instead of hourly, which keeps costs predictable even when you have unpredictable hourly volumes.
- You can subscribe to up to 43 message packs.
