Create Oracle Instance Asset

You need to create an OracleDB asset, whose name is <ADDRESS>::<SID>. Please, fill also the IPv4 field with server's IP address

Create Delegate Credential for this instance

You need to use a delegate credential for this instance. Let's create the account svc_admin in Oracle for managing credentials
