Activation of Your Order
After your Cloud Service order has been placed with Oracle, you will receive an email entitled "Action Required: Welcome to New Oracle Cloud Service Subscriptions". This means you have been designated as the activator of the services. The activator only kicks off the provisioning process and can select a different Service Administrator to manage the day to day administration of the service during the activation process if required. Carefully review the details of your subscription in the email and follow the instructions below to begin the activation process.
An important decision needs to be made at this time. You will need to choose whether to "Create new cloud account" or to "Add to existing cloud account". Your Cloud Account is where you will manage Transportation and Global Trade Management, but also all other Oracle Cloud Services that you purchase.
If you have previously subscribed to other Oracle Cloud Services, you will already have a Cloud Account. If you choose "Add to existing cloud account",you will be prompted to provide the name of that Cloud Account and log in. Once this is complete, you can proceed to the next step "Environment Activation".
If you have not previously subscribed to other Oracle Cloud Services, you will need to create a new Cloud Account. Even if you have an existing Cloud Account, you can still choose to create a new Cloud Account for Transportation and Global Trade Management Service.
- This Cloud Account Name will also be used to create the URLs to access all your Cloud services (not just Oracle Transportation Management and Global Trade Management) and it is not possible to change it, so please choose carefully. For example, if you call your Oracle account "ABCCorp" your OTM Application URL will look something like: https://otmgtm-ABCCorp.otmgtm.us-phoenix-1.ocs.oraclecloud.com.
- The Cloud Account Name must be unique, it must start with a lowercase letter and can have up to 25 lowercase letters and numbers. You cannot use spaces or any special characters.
- Provide the Name and Email Address of the person that will be the Service Administrator. This person will receive an email with instructions and the Cloud Portal login for creating the Cloud Service Environments.
The value you provide in the "Tenancy Name" field will be used as the name of your Cloud Account and your Cloud Infrastructure Tenancy. A Tenancy is a secure and isolated partition within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure where you can create, organize, and administer your cloud resources. In addition to the Tenancy Name, you will need to provide the Name, Email Address, and Default Password for the Service Administrator.
You will also need to specify the "Home Region." Your Home Region is the geographic location where your cloud account and identity resources will be created. It is not changeable after sign-up. For SaaS application(s) the Home Region does not indicate the provisioning location. Your SaaS application(s) will be provisioned in the geo-region specified on your order. After creating a cloud account to add your subscription, the Home Region is where your primary Identity Domain will be located. Depending on SaaS applications the application user credentials may also be stored at the same Home Region Identity Domain location.
Once you have entered all of the required fields, please read the Terms of Service and click the Create Tenancy button.
