How Upgrade Affects File Server

Upgrading from Oracle Integration Generation 2 to Oracle Integration 3 affects File Server in the following ways.

New IP and Port Values

After the upgrade, Oracle assigns new IP and port values for the File Server SFTP server. The Oracle Integration Generation 2 IP and port values remain valid for SFTP runtime traffic for four months after the upgrade.

If you had a File Server allowlist in Oracle Integration Generation 2 and upgraded to Oracle Integration 3, understand how the new IP and port values that Oracle assigns after the upgrade affect your File Server allowlist.

  • For SFTP clients that were on your File Server allowlist in Oracle Integration Generation 2

    These SFTP clients can continue accessing File Server using the Oracle Integration Generation 2 IP and port values. This access is granted for up to four months after the upgrade and persists even if you remove the SFTP clients from your self-service File Server allowlist.

    You have the following action items:

    • Within the four-month time window, you must update all integrations and SFTP clients so that they use the new IP and port values.

      While you don't have to update the values immediately after the upgrade, Oracle recommends completing this step then. Otherwise, you risk forgetting to update the values and then experiencing issues when Oracle retires the IP and port values. See 5. Complete Post-Upgrade Tasks.

    • If you want to block the integrations and SFTP clients from accessing File Server, enter a service request (SR).
  • For SFTP clients that weren't on your File Server allowlist in Oracle Integration Generation 2, such as new SFTP clients that you configure after upgrading

    You have the following action items:

    • Ensure that all integrations and SFTP clients use the Oracle Integration 3 IP and port values to access File Server.

      See 5. Complete Post-Upgrade Tasks.

    • Add the SFTP clients to the File Server allowlist.

Access File Server with URL and Credentials

In Oracle Integration Generation 2 you accessed the File Server folder using the IP port and credentials. After the upgrade, in Oracle Integration 3, you can access it using the File Server URL and credentials.

No Change to File Server REST APIs

After the upgrade, access the File Server REST APIs the same way you did in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

File Server Migration

Oracle migrates your File Server files, folder structure, and allowlists (permissions) from Oracle Integration Generation 2 to Oracle Integration 3 for you.

For information on managing your allowlists for File Server after migration, see Restrict Access to an Instance.
