Create an Additional Test Environment
After provisioning production and stage instances, you can provision additional test instances for the services you have ordered. The test environment is created as a copy of the production environment. By default, your additional test environment is created in the data center that hosts your production environment. It is not provisioned on the Oracle Cloud Applications instance that hosts your production environment, but it is provisioned as a separate Oracle Cloud Applications instance.
The instance may take a while to be created. As soon as the instance is created, you will receive an email with your service instance details so that you can start using your Oracle Cloud Applications.
Ready and active instances are indicated in green color on the Applications Console dashboard. Service instances are listed on the service details page. Click the service name from the Applications Console dashboard to view the details. See Viewing Service Details in Managing and Monitoring Oracle Cloud.
