So let’s have a look on below video on May 2018 DBCS Updates.
Here are the latest updates that happened in DBCS:
-
- SQL Developer Web replaced DBaaS Monitor:
So if you are working on Oracle database on cloud then you may be knowing that DBaaS Monitor is a management tool to manage Oracle Database on Cloud. DBaaS Monitor is being decommissioned in favor of Oracle SQL Developer Web for DBCS Single or Single Instance with data Guard (Standby). It is not yet available for RAC on Cloud. When you create a new database deployment, SQL Developer Web is automatically installed. If you have an older database deployment, you can replace DBaaS Monitor with SQL Developer Web by updating your cloud tooling. This is how SQL developer web looks like: - April 2018 PSU patches available to apply on DBCS: April 2018 PSU patches should now be available in your database cloud service account.
- Oracle Application Express (Apex) 5.1.4 is now part of DBCS: APEX is rapid or database development tool that helps you to design, develop and deploy database-driven web applications accessible through web browser. Apex is also available for Single instance DBCS (not for RAC on DBCS). If you are creating a new database account or registering a new database account then you will get Apex 5.1.4 as part of DBCS. However, if you already had an account on database cloud and you want latest apex version then you can upgrade that.
- bkup_api additional subcommands .There are new additional subcommands added into bkup_api (which is a utility to backup oracle database on cloud) to simplify administering automatic backup.
