Get an Additional Oracle DataFox Instance

If you want to test features in a stage environment before they are released, you need an additional Oracle DataFox instance. Start by creating an additional Oracle Identity Cloud Service instance, and then request an additional DataFox instance using a service request. This additional instance is associated with the new Oracle Identity Cloud Service instance. Here’s how you can create an additional Oracle Identity Cloud Service instance:

  1. Sign in to the Oracle Cloud dashboard.

  2. From the Active Services section, click Identity Cloud.

  3. On the Oracle Identity Cloud Service page, in the Service Instances section, click Create Service Instance.

  4. On the Create New Oracle Identity Cloud Service Instance page, enter these details:
    Field Value
    Name Instance name
    Note: The name that you enter here will be suffixed to the new IDCS instance. It's good practice to include stage or prod in the name to indicate why you're creating the additional instance.
    License Type IDCS Foundation
    Email Email of the admin
    Note: If you want another user to be the admin for this new instance, you can enter that user’s email address.
    First Name First name of the admin
    Last Name Last name of the admin
  5. Click Create.

    You will receive an email with the details of the service instance along with a user name and a temporary password. The email is sent to the address that you entered in the Email field.

  6. In the Access Details section of the email, click the Admin Console URL link.

  7. Sign in to the Oracle Identity Cloud Service instance using the user name and password in the email.

  8. In the Reset Your Password dialog box, change your password.

After an Oracle Identity Cloud Service instance is created, create a technical service request in My Oracle Support for an additional Oracle DataFox instance. While creating the service request, select these values:
  • Product: 2541 - Oracle Fusion Supplier Model

  • Component: Manage Supplier

  • Subcomponent: Supplier Profile Admin

In the service request, provide the Admin Console URL, the email address, and the first and last names of the admin for the new Oracle Identity Cloud Service instance.

After the request is processed, Oracle Support updates your service request with the details of the new Oracle DataFox instance. You can then sign in using your new Oracle Identity Cloud Service instance credentials. You can also create new admins and users for the newly created Oracle DataFox instance.
