Provision a Process Automation Instance

You can provision an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Process Automation instance in a selected compartment.

1. Sign in to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.
   Note your selected region. Once created, instances are visible only in the region in which they were created. For information about regions, see Regions and Availability Domains.
2. Open the navigation menu and click Developer Services. Under Application Integration, click Process Automation.
3. From the Compartment drop-down list, select the compartment in which you want to create the instance.

   The page is refreshed to show any existing instances in the selected compartment.

4. Click Create.
5. In the Create instance dialog, enter the following details:

   Field	Information to Enter
   Name	Enter the display name of the instance.
   Description	Enter the description of the instance.
   Access Token	Enter the access token. For details on how to obtain the access token, see Create an Access Token to Provision an Instance. Note: If your tenancy uses identity domain or federated IDCS stripe, and the home region of the identity domain or IDCS stripe with which you have signed in is same as the region in which you are creating the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Process Automation instance, then the access token is prefetched for you.
   Shapes	Select the instance shape: Development: Choose this shape for development, staging, or testing instances. Production: Choose this shape for production instances.
   Metering model	Select a metering model: Execution pack: You can use this model if you're looking for usage based pricing based on transactions. A single execution pack consists of 10,000 execution activities. The first 10,000 activities are free and after that each execution pack consumed will be charged. Note that an activity can be any part of the process flow that is executed in runtime. For example, human tasks, notifications, service calls, start/end events and so on. Users: You can use this model if you know the number of users that you want to onboard to the service. An active user can be any user who accesses the service for tasks related to design, operation, development, and so on. Any user who interacts with the service through REST APIs will also be counted as an active user. Note that one or multiple interactions of a user with the service in the duration of an hour is counted as one active user.
   Tags (optional)	Optionally, click the Show Advanced Options link to add tags to the instance. You can use tags to search for and categorize your instances in your tenancy. See Resource Tags.
