Novedades Oracle Database Cloud Service - Junio 2017

June 2017

Feature	Description
Mandatory “sync-up” patch available for Release 12.2 databases	Several enhancements and bug fixes have been made to Oracle Database Release 12.2 since its release on Oracle Cloud in November 2016. However, these improvements have not yet been gathered into a PSU. Database Cloud Service is making available a “sync-up” patch (ID 24824889-EE) that includes these many improvements and prepares your database deployment for patching when the first PSU becomes available for Release 12.2. You must apply this patch to bring Database Cloud Service database deployments running Release 12.2 up-to-date and to permit PSUs to be applied later. This patch is only available through command-line tools. To apply it, see the topic in Using Oracle Database Cloud Service for your database type: Single Instance: Applying a Patch by Using the dbpatchm Subcommand. Single Instance with Data Guard Standby: Applying a Patch by Using the dbpatchmdg Utility.
Apr 2017 PSU and BP patches available for Release 11.2 and 12.1 databases	The April 2017 Patch Set Update (PSU) and Bundle Patch (BP) are now available to patch existing Database Cloud Service database deployments running Oracle Database Release 11.2 and 12.1. For information about applying a patch, see "Patching Database Cloud Service" in Using Oracle Database Cloud Service.
Oracle Application Express 5.1 now included	(Base image 17.2.5) Oracle Application Express 5.1 (instead of version 5.0) is now included by default in new Database Cloud Service deployments whose database type is “Single Instance” or “Single Instance with Data Guard Standby”.
