#500 JCS First Steps...

Introduction

JCS is available now on shop.oracle.com.

As you can see, it includes IaaS and DB CS.

Install Steps

Install of JCS requires an instance of DB CS.

Storage is also required for DB CS and JCS.

Create Storage

Get X-Auth-Token and X-Storage-Url via REST

curl -v -s -X GET -H "X-Storage-User: Storage- yourIdentityDomain:yourUser" -H "X-Storage-Pass: yourPwd" https://yourIdentityDomain.storage.oraclecloud.com/auth/v1.0

Create DB & JCS Storage containers using the X-Storage-Url and X-Auth-Token

curl -v -s -X PUT -H "X-Auth-Token: X-Auth-Token" https://X-Storage-URL/myDBContainer

curl -v -s -X PUT -H "X-Auth-Token: X-Auth-Token" https://X-Storage-URL/myJCSContainer

Here is the first rule -

Look at the security application - NCJCS/1/sys_dblistener

This is self-explanatory -

The second rule allows ssh access from the wls vm to the DB machine -
