Creating a User Provided Service Instance (CUPS) for Oracle

Cloud Foundry has commands for creating and updating user-provided service instances (cups). Once created, user-provided service instances can be bound to an application. To interact with the Cloud Foundry instance, the command line interface, cf CLI is used. For more information on cg CLI, refer to https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/cf-cli/.

Procedure

  1. Log into your Cloud Foundry environment using the cf CLI.
  2. Using the cf CLI, execute the following command to create an Oracle cups service instance named oracledd. 
    cf cups oracledd -p "DB_URL, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD"
  3. When prompted, specify values appropriate for your environment.
    For example, 
    DB_URL>jdbc:tibcosoftwareinc:oracle://152.8.15.176:1521;ServiceName=orcl
DB_USERNAME>bwuser 
DB_PASSWORD>password
