Submitting a Listing

Learn how to submit a listing after you collect the required information.

After you enter all the required information and provide whatever optional information you want, you’re ready to submit your listing to Oracle for approval.

Ensure you’re satisfied with the information in the listing.

  • Have you put together the best pitch for your app or service?
  • Do your videos and screenshots enhance the story?
  • Are all links working properly?
  • Have you checked the listing for typographical errors or spelling mistakes?
  • Is there anything you want to add or change?
  • Ensure you have a current Oracle Cloud Marketplace Publisher agreement, if you are planning to publish listings with packages.
  • Reviewed and applied all the mandatory guidelines for listing. See Publishing Guidelines.

It’s a good idea to check these things now. After you submit the listing for approval, you can’t edit the listing during the review process unless Oracle rejects your listing. Although you can make changes after the listing is approved, you’ll need to resubmit the updated listing for our approval.

To submit your listing for approval, do the following:

  1. Sign in to Partner Portal.
  2. Click Listings. The Started tab displays all your listings that are started and in progress.
  3. Scroll the page to find the listing you want to submit or search using the listing name in the Search by Listing Name text box and click Search Icon to find the listing you want to submit. You can also search by selecting a service type from the drop-down list at the top of the page.
  4. Click Action Menu Icon and then click Submit next to the listing. The Submit option is displayed only for listings that are complete (which means all required information has been entered).
  5. Enter a comment in the Submit Listing window. This information is for the Oracle Cloud Marketplace administrators who will be reviewing and approving your listing. Tell us any additional information that will help us evaluate and approve your listing.
  6. (Optional) : Select or clear the check box Prevent Oracle internal tenancies from launching an instance of package(s) attached to the listing.
    Note

    This check box appears only for OCI Application listings, which have stack/Image/package(s) attached to it. To enable this feature, contact marketplace-help_us_grp@oracle.com
    • If this check box is selected, it will block Oracle Internal tenancies from launching the instance.
    • If this check box is not selected, anyone having access to listing can launch Image/Stack/Package(s).
  7. (Optional) Select the Publish this listing to Marketplace as soon as it is approved by Oracle option to publish your listing automatically to Oracle Cloud Marketplace on approval from Oracle. This option is available only for lead-generation listings.

    If you don't select this option, then you'll have to manually publish your listing after it is approved by Oracle.

    Note

    The Publish this listing to Marketplace as soon as it is approved by Oracle option is available only for lead-generation listings and only if you're approved by Oracle to publish your listings automatically.
  8. Select the check box to accept that you have reviewed and applied all the mandatory guidelines for listings.
  9. Click Submit. You’ll get a message that your listing was submitted successfully.
  10. Click OK.

Note that your listing moves from the Started tab to the Submitted tab. During the approval process, be sure to monitor the status of your submitted listing, check our progress, and respond to comments or questions that we post.

Note

When you republish a listing because of a software patch or other update, the Submit Listing window might give you the option to republish the listing without requiring another review and approval from Oracle. In this case, your listing moves to the Submitted tab and is approved automatically. You can click Publish to immediately upload the new version to Oracle Cloud Marketplace.

Viewing and Editing a Listing

Any time during the process of creating or editing a listing, you may want to preview the listing and see how the page will look when published to Oracle Cloud Marketplace.

Preview your listing with a critical eye. Imagine you’re the Oracle Cloud Marketplace user. Ask yourself if the listing captures your attention, answers all your questions, and advertises the best features of your app or service. Previewing may inspire you to make further edits and improve the existing content.

To preview or edit your listing, do the following:

  1. Click Listings.
    The Started tab displays all your listings that are started and in progress.

    Note that you can click Back if you’re currently viewing a listing and want to return to the Started tab.

  2. Scroll the page to find the listing or search using the listing name in the Search by Listing Name text box and click Search Icon to find the listing you want to preview or edit. You can also search by selecting a service type from the drop-down list at the top of the page.

    • To see how the listing will look in Oracle Cloud Marketplace, click Action Menu Icon and then click Preview.

    • To see how the listing will look in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Marketplace, click Action Menu Icon and then click Preview on OCI.

    • To open the listing form so you can modify the information, click Action Menu Icon and then click Edit.

What’s next? You can continue to preview and edit your listing. When your listing is complete, you can submit your listing to Oracle for review and approval.
