Need to change the content of a software source? See instead:

  • Edit name or description

    On the software source details page, select Edit.

    • Name: Enter a name for the custom software source. You can change the name at any time. The name doesn't need to be unique, because an Oracle Cloud Identifier (OCID) uniquely identifies the custom software source.

    Select Update.
