This chapter covers the following topics:
This chapter describes how to manage the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager virtual machine (VM) after initial deployment.
Perform the following tasks to ensure you are using the latest version of Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager.
Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager administrator performs the tasks described in this section.
Determine Your Upgrade Path
Log in to Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager and check the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager version. See Log In to Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager and Verify the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Version for details on how to do so.
Your upgrade path is based on your version of Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager:
If you are on Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager version 23.1.1 or later, you will see a message that a later version is available than the one you have installed, and can proceed with the rest of this procedure by performing the steps in Create a Backup, followed by Check Space Requirements, and then Update to the Latest Codelevel.
If you are on an Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager version earlier than 23.1.1, there is no predefined upgrade path; therefore, you must log a service request on My Oracle Support and ask for assistance to upgrade Cloud Manager.
Create a Backup
To create a backup, follow the instructions in Create a Backup of the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Virtual Machine.
Check Space Requirements
Before updating Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager to the latest version, ensure that you have at least 25 GB of available disk space.
While logged in to the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager VM, run the following commands:
$ cd /u01 $ df -kh .
If the available disk space is less than 25 GB, you can free up space by removing older files from the following directories:
/u01/install/APPS/backup
/u01/install/APPS/apps-unlimited-ebs/diagnostics
If the available disk space is still less than 25 GB, you must resize the boot volume of Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager before proceeding with the migration to the latest codelevel. To resize the boot volume, follow the instructions in Extending the Partition for a Boot Volume in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation.
After the volume is provisioned, for the volume resize to take effect, you need to:
Run the applicable rescan commands. See Rescanning the Disk for a Block Volume or Boot Volume.
Extend the partition manually. See Extending the Partition for a Boot Volume.
Proceed only after confirming that you have sufficient available disk space.
(Conditional - Government Cloud Regions Only) Download the Self Update Patch
When running Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager in a government cloud region, the Self Update utility requires a tar archive or "tarball" (provided in Patch 38078648) to update to the latest version. To download the patch and retrieve the tarball, use the following steps:
Download Patch 38078648 from My Oracle Support to the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager VM.
Using the following commands, change to the directory where you downloaded the patch file and extract the downloaded patch:
$ cd <download_folder> $ unzip p38078648_ebscm4oci_Linux-x86-64.zip
Unzipping the patch zip file creates a directory named 38078648 which includes the tarball file EBSCloudAdminTools_v25.2.0.1.tgz. Note the absolute path of this tarball for use in steps to follow.
Update to the Latest Codelevel
After you have created the backup of the VM and confirmed the available disk space, you can proceed to update your deployment.
Run the Self Update utility to update Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager to the latest version, which is 25.2.0.1.
Perform the following steps:
Connect to the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager VM using SSH and switch from the opc user to the oracle user:
$ sudo su - oracle
Run the Self Update utility as follows:
$ cd /u01/install/APPS/apps-unlimited-ebs/bin $ perl selfUpdate.pl
The Self Update utility first checks for public object storage connectivity.
If you do not have connectivity to public object storage, the script will update using a local tarball file instead. When prompted, provide the complete path of the local tarball file as well as the stage location in which to extract the tarball file contents. Then, enter Y to continue and perform the upgrade.
Checking public object storage connectivity. No connectivity to public object storage. Will attempt to update using local tarball instead. Enter complete path of local tarball file : <absolute path of EBSCloudAdminTools_v25.2.0.1.tgz> Enter stage location to extract tarball [/u01/install/APPS/updates]: <Accept this default or enter location of your choice> Using default stage location: /u01/install/APPS/updates Validating specified tarball. Please wait. Validation successful for specified tarball. Do you want to continue and perform the upgrade? [Y/N]? Y
If connectivity to public object storage is in place, choose the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager version from the choices provided:
Available Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager release versions: 1: 25.2.0.1 Choose release version to upgrade to from the above list: 1
When prompted, enter your Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager administrator password:
Enter Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Admin Password:
Note: You should have already followed the steps in Configure Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Compute Instance to configure your VM. At this prompt, enter the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager administrator password you specified at that time.
Next, the Self Update utility prompts you to confirm that you have created a backup of the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager VM following the instructions in Create a Backup of the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Virtual Machine.
When prompted, enter Y to confirm that you want to continue:
Before update, you must create a backup of the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Virtual Machine as per the instructions in the section "Update to Latest Version of Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager" of Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Guide. To continue, you must confirm you have created a backup of your Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Virtual Machine or the update process will exit. Backup created [Y/N]?
Note: If you have not yet created your backup, enter N at the prompt. In this case, the utility exits to allow you to create the backup before proceeding with the update process.
Before continuing with the update, you should also ensure that there are no jobs in your Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager with a status of In Progress, Scheduled, Paused, or Failed. See Monitor Job Status.
It is recommended that you allow In Progress and Scheduled jobs to complete before continuing, resume any Paused jobs, and restart any Failed jobs that you want to try again. You can also choose to delete an incomplete installation or an incomplete backup to clean up any resources instead of restarting the Failed job. If there are still any jobs with a status of Failed when you perform the update, their status will be changed to Aborted. In this case, you must manually clean up any incomplete resources from the job after the update.
When prompted, enter Y to confirm that you want to continue:
Before upgrading, ensure there are no In Progress, Scheduled, Paused, or Failed jobs. You must remove any incomplete artifacts (resources) associated with a failed job before you continue with the upgrade. Any failed jobs will be marked as aborted by the upgrade process and cannot be restarted. Do you want to continue [Y/N]? Y
The utility then displays several messages recording the actions it performs. Finally, it displays a screen containing a success message, similar to the following. You can optionally review the log file to verify further details about the update.
============================================================================================================== Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager VM setup successful. Version: 25.2.0.1 Refer to /u01/install/APPS/apps-unlimited-ebs/out/self-update-<date>_<time>.log for complete details. ==============================================================================================================
We strongly recommend that you back up your Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager virtual machine (VM) periodically, as well as prior to making any changes such as upgrading the operating system or updating Cloud Manager to the latest version.
To do so, follow the instructions in Cloning a Boot Volume to create a boot volume clone of the boot volume attached to your Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager VM.
You will also need to record key details of your Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager VM for use during the restore process. From the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console on the Instances screen, click on your instance (for example, myebscminstance) to go to the Instance Details screen. Record (such as in a screenshot) the instance attributes for later use:
Availability domain
Compartment
Virtual cloud network (VCN)
Shape configuration
Shape
OCPU count
IP address (which may be public or private)
Subnet
Hostname
When you restore, you will also need the host name of the original instance.
Note: The SSH key is not required as it is provided in the boot volume clone.
To obtain the host name, log in to Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager VM using SSH and perform the following steps:
Run the hostname command and record the name.
Make a note of the contents of the /etc/hosts file.
You will perform the steps in this section to recover your Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager VM if it becomes unusable for any reason (for example, from a failed code update or OS upgrade).
This process uses a boot volume clone created by following the instructions in Create a Backup of the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Virtual Machine.
To restore the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager VM, follow these steps:
Terminate your Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager VM following the instructions in Terminating an Instance.
To preserve the original boot volume clone in the case that the restore fails, create an additional boot volume clone from the original boot volume clone. To do this, follow the instructions in Create a Backup of the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Virtual Machine.
Create your new Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager VM by following the instructions in Creating an Instance. You must specify the image of the boot volume clone created in the prior step and provide the details recorded in Create a Backup of the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Virtual Machine--which match those of the original Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager VM:
Compartment
Availability domain
Image and shape
Image: Click the Change image button. On the Select image screen, select the Boot volumes option and then choose the additional boot volume you created previously. Click Select image to save.
Shape configuration
Shape
OCPU count
Memory (GB)
Virtual cloud network (VCN)
Subnet
IP address (which may be public or private)
Hostname
SSH Key: Select the No SSH Keys option as these are inherited from the boot volume clone.
In addition, once the VM is created, restore the original /etc/hosts file.
You can run the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager VM with either Oracle Linux 8 (OL8) or Oracle Linux 7 (OL7). However, OL8 support requires Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Release 25.1.0 or later.
Note: If you are installing Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Release 25.1.0 or later for the first time, the operating system version will be OL8.
First, use the instructions in Log In to Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager and Verify the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Version to identify your version. If necessary, follow the applicable steps to upgrade your Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager VM.
Once on Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Release 25.1.0 or later, perform the following steps to upgrade to OL8:
Back up your Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager VM by following the instructions in Create a Backup of Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Virtual Machine.
Perform an in-place OS upgrade from OL7 to OL8 by following the instructions in Upgrade Oracle Linux with Leapp.
Update Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager binaries to the latest OL8-compatible version by performing these required steps:
(Conditional - Government Cloud Regions Only) Download the Self Update Patch.
Upgrade to the latest codelevel by running SelfUpdate.pl. This step is necessary even for those already on 25.1.0 or later, in order to replace OL7 binaries with OL8 binaries.

Standalone Tasks
Replace the Self-Signed Certificate for the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager Load Balancer with a Certificate Authority Issued Certificate
When you configure Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager, the listener of the Load Balancer as a Service (LBaaS) is TLS enabled for HTTP inbound connections to Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager. The certificate that is deployed by default for this configuration is a self-signed certificate. You can update the self-signed certificate with a certificate authority (CA) issued certificate using the following steps:
By default the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager URL uses an IP address rather than a host name. The first step is to map the Oracle E-Business Suite IP address to a host name.
Note: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides a public IP address but does not provide a public host name; therefore, you should ensure that appropriate DNS entries are present to resolve host name to the public IP address.
Update the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager VM by following the instructions in Update the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager URL.
Obtain a certificate for the host name from a certificate authority.
Log in to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console. From the navigation menu, select Networking, then Load Balancers, and then select the load balancer you want to configure.
Add your certificate bundle to the load balancer. See To upload an SSL certificate bundle to your load balancing system in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Services documentation.
If you have multiple certificates that form a single certification chain, such as one or more intermediate certificates together with a root certificate, then you must include all relevant certificates in one file before you upload them to the system. Refer to "Uploading Certificate Chains" in Working with SSL Certificates in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation.
While still on the Load Balancer page, click the Listeners link under the Resources menu on the left.
Search for the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager's listener. Note that there can be multiple listeners associated, as the same load balancer can be used by more than one Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager. Ensure to pick the listener corresponding to the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager you are using.
Click the Actions icon (three dots) associated with the Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager's listener's row, select Edit from the context menu.
In the Edit Listener dialog window, select the certificate bundle added above in the Certificate Name drop-down list. Click Save Changes and wait for the listener to be updated.
Your Oracle E-Business Suite Cloud Manager VM is installed with Ksplice Uptrack software that allows you to enable automatic Linux kernel updates.
To configure Ksplice Uptrack to install updates automatically, enable the autoinstall option in /etc/uptrack/uptrack.conf.
For more information, including other Ksplice Uptrack capabilities, refer to the Oracle Linux Ksplice User's Guide.
