Creating an Environment

Before creating environment in a region other than the home region of your cloud account, you must first subscribe to that region. For more information, see Subscribing to and Replicating Regions.

To create a new environment:

1. From the Navigation menu, select My Applications, click Oracle Enterprise Performance Management.
2. Select Environments on the left pane.
3. Click Create to create a new environment.
   
   
   
   
4. On Create environment, select a region to which you have already subscribed. If you haven’t subscribed to any additional regions, your home region will be displayed by default. You can create production and test environments in different regions.
   
   
   
   
5. Under Environment details, provide the following information:
   1. Enter the Name of the environment. Name must be lowercase, start with a letter, contain no spaces or special characters, and be 20 or less characters long. This name can't be changed later.

      Note:

      You can create the test and production environments in any order, but they must be in equal numbers. For example, if five pairs are allowed, you cannot create six production and four test environments; you must create five production and five test environments. Additionally, the test environment name must match the production name with a -test suffix. For example, the environment names could be epm and epm-test.
   2. Select the Instance type. The instance types available to you are determined by the subscription you purchased.
   3. To assign a user as a Service Administrator, add the Admin username.

      Note:

      • This user must already be created in IAM.
      • You can provide different email IDs for the production and test environments.
   4. Click and select Type of environment.
6. Under Compartment and Identity domains, provide the following information:
   1. Select Compartments to select a different compartment if you'd like to create the environment in one other than the default. If no compartments have been created in your tenancy, only the root compartment will be available.

      Note:

      Compartments without an associated domain cannot be selected.
   2. Select Identity Domain if you would like to segment users, improve security, and simplify the process of managing Identity and Access Management use cases. You can create production and test environments in different domains.

      Note:

      By default, the OracleIdentityCloudService domain will be selected if it is available; otherwise, the Default domain will be used. You can still choose a different domain from the dropdown as needed.
   
   
   
7. Click Create to create the environment.

   You can track the progress of your environment creation by viewing the status of the work request. Initially, the state is Creating.
