EBS Cloud Automation for OCI Updates
This significant new release of the EBS Cloud Automation includes the following new or enhanced features:
- Support for 2-Node VM DB System (Oracle RAC) - Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager now allows you to choose this new platform when you use Advanced Provisioning, whether you are provisioning a new environment or provisioning an environment from a backup as part of a lift and shift.
- Support for Enterprise Edition for a 1-Node VM DB System (Single Instance) - Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager now allows you to choose Enterprise Edition when you use Advanced Provisioning to provision a new environment or provision an environment from backup as part of a lift and shift. The manual post-configuration steps needed in previous releases are no longer required.
- Backup Deletion Capability - Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager now allows you to delete Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage service backups that were created using the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Backup Module.
- UI Enhancements - In the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager UI, Simplified Provisioning is now called One-Click Provisioning. Minor UI improvements have also been made.
- Administration Tasks - New scripts allow for the following administration tasks to be performed at any time after the initial Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager setup:
- Use a Different Load Balancer
