New Features
EBS Plugin version 1.8.3 introduces a new feature while refreshing EBS appsTier where a Pre Refresh hook will help in aborting concurrent manager services and reduce the time taken to gracefully stop the EBS application.. The password required to execute the same will be pulled from a text file present on the target appsTier host which will be created automatically during appsTier provisioning.
Plugin Installation
Plugins to support EBS virtualization are not automatically included in the Virtualization Engine deployment and can be installed by the end-user after uploading the plugin through the Manage > Plugin screen.
Migration and Compatibility
Supported Versions
Oracle SI dbTechStack and Database
EBS 12.2
Oracle11gR2 (Minimum DB version supported 11.2.0.4)
Oracle12cR1 (Minimum DB version supported 12.1.0.2)
Oracle does not yet support the multi-tenant option for E-Business Suites, so Delphix cannot support this either.

The Delphix Engine does not provide support for provisioning a multi-node appsTier where the APPL_TOP is not shared between nodes.

For EBS 12.2 customers:
Your Version | Recommended Upgrade Path to 1.8.3 |
1.0.0 | Upgrade to 1.1.0 and follow the upgrade path below. |
1.1.0 | Upgrade to 1.2.0 and follow the upgrade path below. |
1.2.0 | Upgrade to 1.3.0 and follow the upgrade path below. |

| 1.7.0 | Upgrade to 1.8.0, 1.8.1, 1.8.2, or 1.8.3 and follow the upgrade path below. |
Example : Upgrade path for EBS 12.2 customer with existing Plugin version 1.1.0 who wants to upgrade to 1.8.x Plugin version : 1.1.0 → 1.2.0 → 1.3.0 → 1.4.0 → 1.5.0 → 1.6.0 → 1.7.0 → 1.8.0 or 1.8.1, 1.8.2, or 1.8.3.
- Customers should skip a minor Plugin 1.3.1 version upgrade.
- If EBS 12.2 customers are on Plugin version 1.3.1, the plugin upgrade path will be : 1.3.1 → 1.4.0 → 1.5.0 → 1.6.0 → 1.7.0 → 1.8.0 or 1.8.1, 1.8.2, or 1.8.3.
Key points:
- Plugin 1.8.3 is a patch release
- Customers can skip a patch plugin release upgrade if they intend to upgrade their plugin to a higher version. The Delphix Engine simply ignores patch versions when handling plugin upgrade logic. It only validates the major/minor plugin version during the plugin upgrade.
