You must first create an Oracle Database Cloud Service with a backup destination before creating a SOA Cloud Service instance

Problem:

When creating an Oracle SOA Cloud Service, you receive the following error:

You must first create an Oracle Database Cloud Service before creating a SOA Cloud Service instance. Oracle Database Cloud Service - Virtual Image instances can not be used.

This error appears even when you have an Oracle Database Cloud Service instance created.


Solution:

1. When creating the Oracle Database Cloud Service instance, you must configure a Backup Destination option (e.g., Cloud and Local Storage or Cloud Storage). This cannot be set to "None".

Applicable Versions:

• Oracle SOA Cloud Service (2016)
• Oracle Database Cloud Service (2016)
