WCF LOB Adapter SDK and BizTalk Adapter Pack

Oracle EBS/DB Adapter Changes in Beta

As the Beta release for the Adapter pack approaches, here's a list of changes in the Oracle EBS/DB Adapters so that you can prepare for it:

·         Now support Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008

·         Based on Oracle ODP.Net 11.1.0.7

Both adapters now _require_ ODP.Net 11.1.0.7 installed on the client as compared to ODP.Net 11.1.0.6 which was the base for CTP 5 and earlier. Doing this enables us to deliver x64 support.

·         Added Synonym support

Both adapters now support synonyms. Synonyms show up in the object tree wherever the underlying artifact (table/view etc.) of that type can occur. Synonyms are supported for the following types.

• Tables
• Views
• Materialized views
• Sequences
• Procedures
• Functions
• Packages

Synonyms are not supported for:

• Types
• Synonyms

In addition, synonyms pointing to DB links are not supported.

·         Added performance counters

We’ve added performance counters to both Adapters which are described in the online help.

·         Added notification support, support for User Defined Types (UDTs)  in the DB Adapter

Please note that this is not a complete list of changes. That list is available in the online documentation.
