To install and use Oracle EBS instance on Oracle cloud IaaS, you should have Cloud Service Administrator role to
administer Oracle Cloud Services within an identity domain owned by an Oracle Account of your company.
1. Account Administrator
To start with IaaS on oracle cloud, you need an Oracle SSO account, along with Cloud Account Administrator access.
Once you have these privileges you can navigate to cloud account dashboard using http://myaccount.cloud.oracle.com,
where you can enter Oracle SSO account credentials to access cloud account.
To navigate to Service Administrator dashboard, you can click on any one of the dashboard items Action link to navigate
to My Services dashboard

2. Service Administrator
If you have Service Administrator role, then you can enter credentials for the logged in account to access My Services
dashboard. There are two ways to access Services Dashboard.
Use http://myservices.us.oraclecloud.com and provide a domain name and click on Go button to go to Sign on
page.
Use My Services action navigation from Account Dashboard, to directly go to the Sign on page. On the sign on
page to change the identity domain you can click on change domain link and provide appropriate domain name.
FIGURE 3 MY SERVICES DASHBOARD LOGIN PAGE
On the services dashboard, click on Service Console (highlighted in yellow in Figure 4) for Oracle Compute Cloud Service
to navigate to Compute Services details, where you can setup instances.

3. Instance Preparation
Account and service administrators can start with a sequential list of steps to have the instance prepared on Oracle Cloud.
Among these steps, Downloading OS image to Oracle account and creation of data storage or the most critical steps and
takes few hours. Account administrator downloads OS image into the account. Service administrator creates storage,
network components such as Security Rules and its constituent sub components. The instance is created over a storage
using the downloaded image along with an SSH Key and a reserved IP. The entire process of creating an instance
comprises of a set of sequential steps as shown in below figure.
FIGURE 6 OVER VIEW OF INSTANCE PREPARATION
The download process takes few hours, and once after successful download the service administrator can see it under
images tab in service console. This image can be further used in cloud instance creation.
On create storage volume page, enter appropriate values and then click on create button. For EBS 12.2.5 please allocate
500 GB of storage space, and select the image downloaded in the previous step. Once after creation of instance you will
see a confirmation message and the instance will be listed under storage tab.
FIGURE 10 STORAGE CONFIGURATION
Navigate to Network tab under service console, and then to Security List sub tab. Click on Create Security List to create a
new security list. Provide an appropriate name, and choose Deny for Inbound Policy as this will make sure that the
instance is not vulnarable for unwanted communications. Choose Permit for Outbound Policy as this will allow outbound
communications.
Once you have Security List, IP List and application defined a security rule can be defined using these three components.
Navigate to Network tab under service console, and then to Security Rules. Click on Create Security Rule. Provide
appropriate Name, and keep the status Enabled so as to get this rule into effect. Select security application that was
created in section 3.5.3, select the Security IP List created in section 3.5.2 as source and Security List created in section
3.5.1 as destination, and complete the process of rule creation.
FIGURE 17 SECURITY RULE CREATION
Similarly create Security Application and Security Rule for port 8000 as well.
FIGURE 21 ATTACH THE STORAGE VOLUME CREATED IN STEP 3.2. ATTACH THIS AS DISK # 1, AND SELECT
BOOT DRIVE.

FIGURE 23 FINALLY REVIEW THE INSTANCE DETAILS AND PROCEED TO CREATION
FIGURE 24 INSTANCE CREATION PROCESS TAKES COUPLE OF HOURS AND YOU WILL SEE A CONFIRMATION
MESSAGE UPON SUCCESSFUL CREATION.
FIGURE 25 THE INSTANCE DETAILS CAN BE VIEWED IN INSTANCE TAB UNDER SERVICE CONSOLE
An Orchestration is created along with the instance that maintains the interdependencies of different components involved
in creation of the instance. For example the network components and storage can be created independent of the instance
or in-line with the instance as part of the instance step in the instance creation train step process. If you delete the
Orchestration that was created as part of the instance, it deletes the inline or dependent components along with the
instance keeping the cloud space clean.
Before you try to use the new Oracle E-Business Suite environment, you should confirm that virtual machine configuration
is complete.
Start Pageant.exe and add the private SSH Key created in step 3.3. This will provide the key information to Putty
automatically.
Now start PuTTY, and in the Host Name (or IP address) field, enter the public IP address of your instance.
In the Connection type: field underneath the Host Name (or IP address) field, select the SSH radio button if it is not
already selected.
In the Category pane, expand Connection, and then select Data to display the Data to send to the server panel.
Try to Open this connection to log into cloud instance command prompt.
2. Look for entries like these in the log file /var/log/oraclevm-template.log by executing below command.
Expected result:
[INFO] Jul 13 16:36:46 configdhcp.sh: Configuring Database Tier
[INFO] Jul 13 16:44:04 configdhcp.sh: Cloning the DB Tier Completed Successfully
[INFO] Jul 13 16:44:04 configdhcp.sh: Proeceeding with the Apps Tier Configuration
[INFO] Jul 13 17:57:04 configdhcp.sh: Cloning the Apps Tier Completed Successfully
8. If needed add the host entry for the hostname and public ip.
