    python3 -m iotcs.sample.GatewayDeviceSample <provisioner file> <passphrase>
  4. Confirm the device is sending messages to Oracle Fusion Cloud IoT Intelligent Applications:
    1. Open the Oracle Fusion Cloud IoT Intelligent Applications Management Console.

      The URL format to access the IoT management console is: <iot instance name>.<domain name>/ui

      For example: https://myiotcs.mydomain.oraclecloud.com/ui or https://myiotcs.mydomain.oracleiotcloud.com/ui.

    2. Click the Menu (Menu icon) icon adjacent to the Oracle Fusion Cloud IoT Intelligent Applications title on the Management Console.
    3. Click Devices.
    4. Click Alerts and Messages.
    5. Click the Messages tab.
    6. Confirm there are incoming messages.
  5. Deactivate the virtual environment by using this command:
