Oracle EBS/DB Adapter Changes in Beta

As the Beta release for the Adapter pack approaches, here's a list of changes in the Oracle EBS/DB Adapters so that you can prepare for it:

 

· Now support Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008

 

· Based on Oracle ODP.Net 11.1.0.7

 

Both adapters now _require_ ODP.Net 11.1.0.7 installed on the client as compared to ODP.Net 11.1.0.6 which was the base for CTP 5 and earlier. Doing this enables us to deliver x64 support.

 

· Added Synonym support

 

Both adapters now support synonyms. Synonyms show up in the object tree wherever the underlying artifact (table/view etc.) of that type can occur. Synonyms are supported for the following types.

  • Tables
  • Views
  • Materialized views
  • Sequences
  • Procedures
  • Functions
  • Packages

Synonyms are not supported for:

  • Types
  • Synonyms

In addition, synonyms pointing to DB links are not supported.

 

· Added performance counters

 

We’ve added performance counters to both Adapters which are described in the online help.

 

· Added notification support, support for User Defined Types (UDTs) in the DB Adapter

 

Please note that this is not a complete list of changes. That list is available in the online documentation.
