New Features
EBS Plugin version 3.0.0 aims to support Oracle 19c MT architecture. Moreover, a new field has been added on the provisioning UI. This will provide the flexibility to the end-user to provide the maximum time allowed to virtualize the application tier.
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.

Path B - Existing EBS customers with different plugin version:
For EBS 12.2 customers:
Your Version | Recommended Upgrade Path to 3.0.0 |

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. |
1.3.0 1.3.1 | Upgrade to 1.4.0 and follow the upgrade path below. |
1.4.0 | Upgrade to 1.5.0 and follow the upgrade path below. |
1.5.0 | Upgrade to 1.6.0 and follow the upgrade path below. |

2.0.0 2.0.1 | Upgrade to 3.0.0, the latest plugin version. |
Example : Upgrade path for EBS 12.2 customer with existing Plugin version 1.1.0 who wants to upgrade to 3.0.0 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, 1.8.3. or 1.8.4 → 2.0.0 or 2.0.1 → 3.0.0.
- Customers should skip a minor Plugin 1.3.1 and 1.8.1/1.8.2/1.8.3/1.8.4 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, 1.8.3. or 1.8.4 → 2.0.0 or 2.0.1 → 3.0.0 .
Key points:
- 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.
