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.
