Column Definitions

  • Feature: Provides a description of the feature being delivered.

  • Module Impacted: Identifies the module impacted associated with the feature, if any.

  • Scale: Identifies the size of the feature. Options are:

  • Small: These UI or process-based features are typically comprised of minor field, validation, or program changes. Therefore, the potential impact to users is minimal.

  • Medium: These UI or process-based features are typically comprised of field, validation, or program changes. Therefore, the potential impact to users is moderate

  • Large: These UI or process-based features have more complex designs. Therefore, the potential impact to users is higher.

  • Delivered: Is the new feature available for use immediately after upgrade or must the feature be enabled or configured? If no, the feature is non-disruptive to end users, and action is required (detailed steps below) to make the feature ready to use.

ADW Storage Auto Scales

Your Autonomous Data Warehouse (ADW) storage allocation will now grow as your needs expand. Although it continues to be important to monitor your storage consumption, you will no longer be at risk of running out of storage if your needs expand faster than expected.

Unlock User DB

Programmatic DB access through a private endpoint can rapidly result in a lockout if credentials are out of date or otherwise incorrect. Prior to this release, a lockout was addressed by submitting an SR. It is now possible for you to remove a lockout from the DB Ops Console.

Additional Auxiliary Workspaces

Seven new auxiliary workspaces have been added to Retail Data Store (RDS). These workspaces, RDS_CUSTOM_4 through RDS_CUSTOM_10, will have the same characteristics as RDS_CUSTOM_1/2/3. See the Oracle Retail Data Store Implementation Guide for more details.
