Get Started with Oracle DataFox in Oracle Cloud

To start using Oracle DataFox, activate the service in an existing account or start by creating an Oracle Cloud account.

If you already have an Oracle Cloud account hosted on a phoenix data center, you can use the same account for Oracle DataFox instead of creating an additional one. To check the data center of your account:

1. In your Oracle Cloud account, click your user name and click About.

2. In the Region field, check the value.

   If you see a value with phoenix, for example, us-phoenix-1, your cloud account is hosted on a phoenix data center.

Activate Your Oracle DataFox Order in a New Oracle Cloud Account

After you buy the subscription for Oracle DataFox, you receive an email from Oracle with the subject Welcome to Oracle Cloud. Set up your account.

1. Click Create New Cloud Account in the email.

2. On the Activate My Services page, in the Cloud Account Name field, enter a unique name for your account like your organization's name.

   Note: It’s good practice to use your organization’s name for your account. Do not use your name, any Personally Identifiable information (PII), name of the product (DataFox), or name of the environment (production, sandbox) in your cloud account name.

3. Enter your email address. The email address must be the same as the person who received the welcome email.

4. Enter the administrator details.

5. Click Create Account.

You should see a confirmation message that your Oracle Cloud service is activated.

Although your account is typically created within an hour, it may sometimes take up to a day. After your account is created, you will receive an email with the subject Setup Complete. You’re ready to go. Now, you can sign in to Oracle Cloud and access your Oracle DataFox instance.

Activate Your Oracle DataFox Order in an Existing Oracle Cloud Account

If you're using your existing Cloud account, you'll still receive the email with the subject Welcome to Oracle Cloud. Set up your account after you subscribe. You must activate your Oracle DataFox service to get started.

1. Click Activate into Existing Cloud Account in the email.

2. On the Oracle Cloud sign-in page, enter your existing Oracle Cloud account name.

3. On the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic Dashboard page, go to the navigation menu, and click Account.

4. From the Activate tab, find the Oracle DataFox service that you want to activate and click Cloud Services Account Setup.

5. On the Activate My Services page, from the Cloud Account Name list, select the account for which you want to activate the Oracle DataFox service.

6. Click Assign Account.

You'll see a message confirming that your Oracle Cloud service is activated. After your account is activated, you'll receive an email with the subject Setup Complete. You’re ready to go. Now, you can sign in to Oracle Cloud and access your Oracle DataFox instance.
