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:
%u00b7 Now support Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008
%u00b7 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.
%u00b7 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.
%u00b7 Added performance counters
We’ve added performance counters to both Adapters which are described in the online help.
%u00b7 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.
