3.2 Create the Oracle Data Transforms Instance

This topic contains step-by-step instructions for creating the Oracle Data Transforms instance.

Follow the below procedure to create your Oracle Data Transforms instance:

Once you click Launch Instance, you are navigated to the Create compute instance page.

1. Fill in the required information:
   • Name - Name of the Instance. This field displays a default name based on the timestamp. You can edit this field, if required.
   • Create In Compartment – This defaults to the compartment you have selected on the Oracle Data Integrator for Oracle page.
2. In the Placement settings, choose from any of the displayed availability domains. Do not change the values selected for Capacity type and Fault Domain.
3. In the Image and Shape settings, click Change Shape to select a template that you want to base the instance on.
4. In the Networking settings, fill in the required details to configure the networking options:
   • Primary network - Do one of the following:
     • Choose Select exiting virtual cloud network, and then select the desired VCN for the newly created instance from the Virtual cloud network in compartment drop-down. A VCN is a software-defined network that you set up in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure data centers in a particular region. Click Change Compartment if you want to change the VCN compartment where the compute node will be built.
     • Choose Create new virtual cloud network, enter a name in New virtual cloud network name if you want to change the pre-populated value, and select the VCN compartment where the compute node will be built from the Create in compartment drop down.

       You must add ingress rules to the default security list of the new created VCN to access the instance. See Add Ingress Rules to the Default Security List for more information.

     • Choose Enter subnet OCID and enter the OCID of the compartment where the instance-related artifacts will be created in Subnet OCID.
   • Subnet - Do one of the following
     • Choose Select existing subnet and then select a subnet from the Subnet in compartment drop-down. If you want to change the compartment use Change Compartment to choose a different compartment.

       Note:

       You cannot use this option if you choose Create new virtual cloud network or Enter subnet OCID in the Primary network settings.
     • Select Create new public subnet and enter the following details:
       • New subnet name - Enter a name if you want to change the pre-populated value.
       • Create in compartment - If you want to change the compartment select a different compartment from the drop-down.
       • CIDR block - Specify the Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) CIDR block for the VCN if you want to change the pre-populated value. You cannot change this value later.

       Note:

       You cannot see this option if you choose Enter subnet OCID in the Primary network settings.
   • Public IP address - Do one of the following:
     • Assign a public IPv4 address - The newly created VM is assigned a public IP address.
     • Do not assign a public IPv4 address - No public IP address is assigned to prevent public access to the compute node.
5. Add SSH keys so that you can connect to the instance using SSH. You can choose from the following options:
   • Generate a key pair for me – Use this option to generate an SSH key pair to connect to the instance using an SSH connection.
   • Upload public key files (.pub) – Use this option if you want to upload a .pub file that contains the SSH key pair.
   • Paste public keys – Use this option if you want to manually specify the SSH key pair.
   • No SSH keys - Use this option if you do not want to enable SSH access.
6. Leave the boot volume selection as is.
7. Click Create.
8. When you get a message Successful from the OCI console, the instance is created. This takes approximately 5 minutes to complete.
9. After approximately 5 minutes, try to access the Data Transforms URL via a browser using the format http://<public-ip address>:9999/oracle-data-transforms. You can get IP address from the OCI Compute Instance properties page.
