Manage an Environment

After creating an environment and adding instances to it, you can manage its instances, as shown here:

Action	How To
Edit an environment's name and description	In the Details tab, click Edit. Edit the details and click Save.
Refresh a service instance's status	In the Service Instances tab, mouse-over the instance, click Actions , and select Refresh Status to refresh and check the current status of the service.
Check a service instance's response time	The Response Time provides information about the instance: A green dot indicates that the response time is less than 5 seconds. A yellow dot indicates that the response time was between 5 and 30 seconds. A red dot indicates that the response time was greater than 30 seconds or that the connection timed out.
Edit a service instance's credentials	When your instance is set up for Basic authentication, mouse-over the Oracle Cloud Applications, Visual Builder, or Integration instance in the Service Instances tab, click Actions , and select Edit Credentials. The Edit Credentials dialog is displayed. Edit the Username and Password fields to change the credentials you use to log in to the application, then click the Update button.
Renew a service instance's OAuth access	When your instance is set up for OAuth authentication, OAuth tokens (access and refresh) are cycled during regular use. A refresh token is used to obtain an access token whenever a user accesses the target instance. This refresh token is typically valid for seven days. (The token expiration time is set in the IDCS resource app and may be different based on your security requirements.) If the user authenticates with the target instance within the seven-day period, the active refresh token generates a new access token and a new refresh token. This cycle continues indefinitely as long as the refresh token stays valid. If the refresh token expires during extended periods of inactivity (say, when you're away on vacation), mouse-over the Oracle Cloud Applications, Visual Builder, or Integration instance in the Service Instances tab, click Actions , and select Renew OAuth Access. The Renew OAuth Access dialog is displayed. Click Renew to renew the token using the credentials to access the instance. Note: Service administrators can control the OAuth access or refresh token's expiration in the IDCS resource app. For example, to change this for your Oracle Cloud Applications instance, you'd look for the Fusion Applications Cloud Service resource app under Oracle Cloud Services in your identity domain's resource app. See Edit High-Level Information for Oracle Applications.
Remove an instance from an environment	In the Service Instances tab, mouse-over the instance, click Actions , and select Remove. An instance can't be removed if it's associated with any workspace. If you try, an error message displays, listing the impacted users and the number of workspaces they have. You'll be instructed to ask those users to delete their workspaces. Once this has been done, you can go back and retry the Remove operation. Note: An IDCS resource cannot be removed from an environment if the instance is in another identity stripe. Nobody can remove an IDCS resource from a different identity stripe from an environment, but the project owner can still delete the entire environment. In addition, an IDCS resource from a second identity stripe cannot be added into the same environment.
Delete an environment	In the environments list, mouse-over the environment, click Actions , and select Delete. Remember that the environment's instances won’t be deleted. An environment can't be deleted if it's associated with any workspaces. If you try, you'll see an error message listing the impacted users and the number of workspaces they have. You'll be instructed to ask those users to delete their workspaces. After they do that, you can go back and try to delete the environment again. Note: Project owners are the only project team members who can delete environments that were created in a different identity stripe. If a project member with the Developer role attempts this operation, they'll see an error message informing them that they can't delete an environment that has resources from another identity stripe.
