Release Overview.

Point-In-Time Recovery for Oracle VDB

We are thrilled to introduce a powerful new feature to our Data Virtualization service:

  • Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR) for Oracle Virtual Databases (VDBs).

This feature enhances our product's data recovery capabilities, offering greater flexibility and control over data restoration.

Details:

  • Enhanced data recovery:

    • Recover Oracle databases to a specific point in time, providing precise data restoration.

  • User-friendly interface:

    • Easy-to-use options for enabling PITR during VDB creation and modification.

    • New UI elements to select and validate custom datetime within the available snapshot range.

  • Increased Flexibility:

    • Suitable for Oracle configurations with RMAN GI and RMAN STANDBY GI.

    • It empowers users to manage and restore their data with greater confidence and accuracy.

Consistent VDB directory naming:

  • Oracle VDB directories now preserve unique naming conventions on both source and target servers across restarts.

  • Unique VDB names are derived from automatically generated IDs, ensuring consistency and traceability.

Configurable VDB directory on the target server:

  • Users can now configure and override the VDB directory name on the target server for Oracle databases.

  • If specified, the custom directory name will be used; otherwise, an automated unique name will be assigned. This feature provides greater control and flexibility for users managing Oracle VDBs.

Automated scripting enhancement for common Virtualization actions

We are introducing an automated scripting framework designed to enhance common virtualization actions. This new feature simplifies managing virtualization tasks by enabling the automated generation of scripts.

Details:

  • Automated script generation:

    • Automatically generate scripts for common virtualization actions, starting with support for Bash.

    • Framework designed for future extension to additional languages such as Python, PowerShell, cURL, and more.

  • User-Friendly Automation:

    • Ideal for customers without extensive knowledge of REST API scripting, providing an easy-to-use alternative.

  • Initial Capabilities:

    • Currently, the framework supports script generation for "Create+Start" actions in Bash, but it is ready for future extensions to include additional actions and a broader range of scripting languages.
