Oracle EBS installation and upgrade

The Oracle EBS connector is managed through the Delphix Continuous Data Engine’s connector framework. Connectors are distributed separately from the engine. The connector must be installed before Oracle EBS Environments can be added, and before attempting any Oracle EBS virtualization operations.

Downloading the connector 

Perform the following steps to download the Oracle EBS connector to your Desktop system.

1. Log in to the Delphix Download Portal using your credentials from the Delphix Support Portal.

2. Find the Oracle EBS plugin folder by navigating to the Delphix Product Releases >Continuous Data Connectors > Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) > EBS 12.2 path and select the desired version’s folder.

3. Download the .zip plugin file by clicking EBS_Plugin_<version>_for_EBS12.2.zip.

4. After the download is complete, extract the contents of the downloaded .zip file to obtain the JSON files. You must find two files named as ebs122app-<version>.json and ebs122db-<version>.jsonInstalling the connector

Perform the following steps to upload and install a new connector.

4. Browse to the JSON  files on your desktop which you downloaded and extracted in the previous step

5. Upload the downloaded JSON (for example, ebs122db-<version>.json) files one by one. Once the first upload is successful, close the dialog box and then start a new upload for the second file.

Upgrading the connector

The connector must be upgraded to a specific version in order to accommodate new features and bug fixes that can affect its configuration. If the existing connector version is particularly old, connector upgrades may also require Delphix Continuous Data Engine upgrades. 

Warning! Skipping a recommended version upgrade path may lead to configuration issues.

Consult the Support Matrix for full compatibility details.

Perform the following steps alongside the upgrade path to ensure your configuration remains compatible with minimal disruption.

Connector upgrade path for EBS 12.2 customers

The connector versions for AppsTier and DB Tech Stack need to be the same, at installation and through the upgrade. Installation and usage of different versions of these connectors are not supported and may encounter operational issues.
