Create a Service Instance

When you create an Oracle Oracle Database Cloud Schema Service instance, you provision a multi-tenant cloud environment that hosts your database schema.

Note:

If you purchased the service before August 2017, your service will not support multiple service instances and you can’t create new service instances.
To create a Schema Service instance:
  1. Sign in to your account. See Sign In To Your Account.
    The Infrastructure Console displays.
  2. Click Create Instance.
    A list of service instance choices you have purchased displays.
  3. From the list, click Create for Database Schema.
    The Create New Service Instance page displays.
  4. On the Instance Details page, specify the following:
    • Name: Specify a unique name for your service instance. If you specify a name that already exists, the system displays an error and the instance is not created.
    • Database Shape: Specify the Database shape that you want to create. This determines the hardware resources provided to your Cloud database, particularly the maximum storage available. The available options are:
      • S5

      • S20

      • S50

      Only shapes that still have quota available are displayed. See “Resource Quotas” in Understand Service Details and Metrics.

    • Email: Enter an email for the Schema Service administrator.
    • User Name: Enter a user name for the Schema Service  instance administrator. Alternatively, check the Use email as user name option to copy the Email entry into the User Name field
    • First Name: Enter the first name of the  Schema Service  instance administrator.
    • Last Name: Enter the last name of the  Schema Service  instance administrator.
  5. Click Create.
    The confirmation dialog appears.
  6. Click Create.
    Your new instance creation will be initiated and will be provisioned in some time. Once the new instance is created, it appears on the Infrastructure Console.
