15. In Target Instance, select the environment with the Oracle Cloud Application's production instance.
16. In the Authorization section, select Use OAuth or Use Basic to specify the type of authorization used to run this build step.

    If you selected Use OAuth, before authorization, the Authorization is required message indicates that this build step needs to be authorized, either by clicking the Authorize button or by running the build manually and entering the credentials when you are prompted for them at that point. After authorization, the Authorization has been provided message and the Renew Authorization button are displayed.

These credentials must be those of a local user, not a federated identity, and must not require multi-factor authentication.
