Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Compute Instance configuration issues

Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager - Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager is a graphical user interface used for creating, managing, and configuring Oracle E-Business Suite environments on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager can be used with the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Backup Module to lift and shift or clone environments from onpremises to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Issues Encountered:-

Recently, i was trying to configure Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager and as part of which when i tried to run the perl configure.pl script, encountered the below error

[2021/01/02 14:37:20]:BMCUtils::printOutErrorUtil: INFO:
---- Err: START ----
ServiceError:
{
"code": "NotAuthorizedOrNotFound",
"message": "Authorization failed or requested resource not found",
"opc-request-id": "DAA8DCE74C3C4F6291B2E0A8F4011B72/8C171D153E97B1ECBB5D8A5553B8EFBD/CAC67E1B04F8787E886355B92D0FA89D",
"status": 404
}

To avoid the errors, we can crosscheck the below points

1. make sure .pem files are owned by Oracle user
2. check the permissions of the .oci directory and the .pem files inside it
3. Ensure that the user who will do the api calling are non federated user
4. Check if the non federated user has been assigned to any group in OCI

 Another issue which i encountered is:-

Utils::executeConfigCmd: INFO: ^[[1m^[[31mError: ^[[0m^[[0m^[[1mService error:InvalidParameter. shapeDetails cannot be null when shape is flexible. http status code: 4

To get rid of this error, i had to create a flexible load balancer first and then deleted the listener which got created as part of load balancer creation.

Then choose the option of

1. Use an existing load balancer when you run the perl configure.pl script.

Issue:-log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.BMCS credential validation failed. Detailed error: (404, NamespaceNotFound, false) You do not have authorization to perform this request

Make sure the user for which you are passing the ocid have the authorization to create resources in the following compartment in which you want the backups and new provisioned environment to be.
