Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) is a powerful integration solution offered by Oracle, but I must emphasize that handling these instances involves sensitive operations that are typically only performed by system administrators or people in roles responsible for managing an organization’s IT resources.

Here’s a high-level guide on creating an Oracle Integration Cloud instance. Please note that you must have the appropriate permissions, and you should refer to the latest official Oracle documentation for up-to-date details.

1. Log in to your Oracle Cloud account. You’ll need your username and password, and possibly other authentication details depending on how your account is configured.

2. Navigate to the Oracle Integration Cloud Service. Once logged in, go to the Oracle Integration Cloud console. If you don’t see it on your dashboard, you may have to look under a category like “Platform Services.”

3. Create a new instance. You’ll typically find a button labeled “Create Instance” or something similar. Clicking it will initiate the creation process.

4. Fill in the required details. You’ll need to provide various details about the new instance. This may include:

   • Instance Name: A unique name for the instance.
   • Description: A description of what the instance is for.
   • License Type: Choose the appropriate license (e.g., BYOL, standard, enterprise).
   • Region: Select the region where you want your instance hosted.
   • Feature Set: You may have to choose the specific capabilities you need, depending on your requirements.

5. Configure the network settings. Depending on your organization’s policies and the specific requirements of your integration, you may need to configure additional network settings. You might need assistance from your network team on this.

6. Review and confirm. Before finalizing the instance creation, carefully review all the information you’ve entered. This is your chance to make sure everything is correct before proceeding.

7. Create the instance. Once everything is confirmed, click the button to create the instance. The creation process may take some time, and you’ll likely see a progress indicator.

8. Post-Creation Configuration. Once the instance is created, you may need to perform additional configurations, such as setting up connections or integrating with other services. This will depend heavily on your specific use case.
