Your Oracle Cloud Products in My Oracle Support – Now you are Administrator

Three weeks ago I have ordered the Oracle Database Backup Service. The registration via shop.oracle.com was easy, minutes later after I have entered my credit card details and pressed the submit button, I got the login information via email and Oracle has given me a new CSI number. Some time later I took a look in My Oracle Support, my new CSI was added but in state PENDING. Now I clicked on the button to Request Access. This message cames up, this is the normal procedure when you buy a product at at Oracle and when you get a new CSI. I clicked on Accept Responsability.

Oracle Database Backup Service Configuration – java.net.UnknownHostException

In all the trials in the Oracle cloud in the past, I used the same syntax below to configure the Oracle Database Backup Service on my local servers. Last week I have decided to order the Service via shop.oracle.com. Now I am an official owner of an Oracle cloud account with a CSI :-).
