Environment Activation

Once your Cloud Account is ready, you'll receive an email. After clicking the Sign In link, you'll be prompted to sign in using the Email Address and default password specified during the Order Activation Step. If you chose to use an Existing Cloud Account, the Service Administrator will be able to sign in after they approve adding the new service to the Cloud Account.

My Applications

After you sign into you Oracle Cloud Tenancy, you'll see the My Applications screen. The My Applications landing page is where you manage your Oracle Application Cloud Services. There's also a tab for administrating Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services such as Compute, Database.

Click the Create Environment button to begin the process of creating instances of your Oracle Transportation Management and Global Trade Management service.

Create Environment

For the first environment you create, you'll need to select the Region where the service is to be deployed.
Note: In most geographic regions, there's only one option. You'll need to provide a Name for each environment. This name is used to uniquely identify your instances in the Cloud Portal and is used in Environment specific notifications sent from the Cloud Portal, so the name should be meaningful. It doesn't affect the URL of the instance you're about to create.

Select the Type of OTMGTM Instance you'd like to create.

  • Production: All subscriptions include a single Production instance.
  • Test: All subscriptions include a single Test instance. Production and Test will be on different patching cadences to allow time for testing changes before they're promoted to Production. Only one test instance can been created. Extra test instances must be created by Selecting the instance type as DEVELOPMENT.
  • Development: This is an extra test instance. The number of Additional Test Instances is limited by your contract.
  • LNM: will create an instance of Logistics Network Modeler if allowed by your contract.

You'll need to start the creation of each type of instance individually.

Advanced Options

Under the Advanced Options you'll have the option to specify a Compartment for your instance and Tags. Both of these can be changed after the instances is created. Assigning Tags facilitates searching for your Cloud Resources. Compartments are the primary building blocks you use to organize your cloud resources.

You use compartments to organize and isolate your resources to help to manage and secure access to them. When your tenancy is provisioned, a root compartment is created for you. Your root compartment holds all your cloud resources. You can think of the root compartment like a root folder in a file system.

You can create compartments under your root compartment to organize your cloud resources in a way that aligns with your resource management goals. As you create compartments, you control access to them by creating policies that specify what actions groups of users can take on the resources in those compartments.

Break Glass

Break Glass for Oracle Applications provides you with additional security by restricting administrative access to systems and services. When you use Break Glass, Oracle Support representatives can access your cloud environment only after relevant approvals and authorization to troubleshoot any issues that might arise in your cloud environment. If you bought the Break Glass option, please see the Break Glass section of the Oracle Transportation and Global Trade Management Security Guide. There's more configuration that should be performed before provisioning your environments.

Environments

After you click the Create button, you'll return to a list of the Environments. The State of the new Environment will be Creating until the process is complete. If you try to create an Environment that you haven't licensed, the Environment creation process will fail.

When Provisioning of an Environment is complete, the State will change to Active.

Clicking on an Environment will take you to a screen like the following. From here, you can click the Open service console button to launch the Oracle Trade and Transportation Management service instance or copy the URL from the Service Console field. We recommend copying the URL and creating a bookmark to allow for direct access.

This completes the environment activation process. You're now ready to add users and begin to configure your environments.
