How to Deploy Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager for Demo and Test Purposes on OCI


In this post I am going to share how to Deploy the EBS Cloud Manager Demo. EBS Cloud manager helps in various things like provisioning, cloning, backup etc for EBS environments.


This simplified procedure is most appropriate for demo purposes, as it has the following restrictions:

  1. The automation deploys a new VCN and subnets for Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager, load balancers, and the first set of Oracle E-Business Suite environments. The subnets are public regional subnets.
  2. The automation creates a new compartment for all the assets. An existing compartment cannot be used, and multiple compartments are not supported.

Steps:

1) Make sure you have an Oracle Tenancy or Create a new Oracle Free Tier account. I am going to use my existing account.

2) Set Up for Tenancies Using IAM without Identity Domains

  1. As the tenancy administrator, log in to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console.

  2. Open the navigation menu and select Identity & Security. Under Identity, click Federation.

  3. Click the OracleIdentityCloudService link to bring up the Identity Provider Details page, and then click the link in the Oracle Identity Cloud Service Console field to bring up the Identity Cloud Service console.

  4. From the Oracle Identity Cloud Service console, create your Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager group:

    1. Using the navigation menu on the top left corner of your screen, click Groups.


    2. Click Add.

    3. In the Add Group dialog box under Step 1: Group Details, enter the following information:

      • Name: Enter the group name. For example, funebscm-grp.

      • Description: Enter a description of your choice.


    4. Click Finish.

  5. While still in the Oracle Identity Cloud Service console, create your Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager administrator user.

    1. Using the navigation menu on the top left corner of your screen, click Users.

    2. Click Add.

    3. In the Add User dialog box under Step 1: Add User Details, enter the following information:

      • First Name: Enter the first name of the new user.

      • Last Name: Enter the last name of the new user.

      • User Name: Enter the user name. funebsadmin

      • Email: Enter the email of the new user.

      • Deselect the Use email address as the user name check box.

    4. Click Next.


    5. In the Step 2: Assign User to Groups dialog window, select the check box for the group you just created, such as funebscm-grp.

    6. Click Finish.


  6. While still in the Oracle Identity Cloud Service console, give the new user the Administrator role.

    1. Using the navigation menu on the top left corner of your screen, click Security, then Administrators.

    2. On the Administrators page, expand the Application Administrator section and click Add.

    3. In the Add Users to the Administrator Role dialog box, select the check box for the user corresponding to the newly created user in step 5. In this example, that would be funebsadmin.


    4. Click OK.

  7. Log out of the Oracle Identity Cloud Service console by clicking on your user avatar icon, labeled with your name, and then clicking Sign Out.

3) Register Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager as a Confidential Application in IDCS
