1 Oracle Cloud What's New for Oracle Java Cloud Service Release 17.4 E November 2017 What s New for Oracle Java Cloud Service This document describes what's new in Oracle Java Cloud Service on all infrastructure platforms where it's available: On Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic On Oracle Cloud Machine For each infrastructure platform, information is organized by the date a specific feature or capability became available. Additionally, the document provides historical what s new information for the past 12 months. On Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic The following sections describe what s new in Oracle Java Cloud Service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic. As soon as new features become available, cloud tools for managing Oracle Java Cloud Service instances are upgraded in the data centers where Oracle Cloud services are hosted. You don't need to request an upgrade to be able to use the new features. Except where noted, upgrades to cloud tools are available to use on your existing Oracle Java Cloud Service instances. However, new features that change how service instances are created do not affect your existing service instances. Topics: November 2017 October 2017 September 2017 August 2017 July

2 June 2017 May 2017 April 2017 March 2017 February 2017 January 2017 December 2016 November 2017 Updated Command Line Interface The PaaS Service Manager Command Line Interface (CLI) has been updated in this release. The psm jcs command syntax has been replaced with psm jaas syntax. The psm jcs syntax will no longer work if you are running PSM CLI version , released in October 2017, or later. This change results in a number of commands being replaced and new commands added. The following commands have been removed: scale-up scale-down auto-scaling-policy create-auto-scaling-rules update-auto-scaling-policy delete-auto-scaling-policy auto-scaling-activities The following commands were added: scale (replaced deprecated scaling and auto-scaling commands) check-health add-storage add-backup-service Additionally, a number of new parameters were added to numerous commands. See Using the Command Line Interface in PaaS Service Manager Command Line Interface Reference. October

3 Authenticate users in Oracle Identity Cloud Service Use a managed load balancer service No Coherence capacity units New and deprecated REST endpoints Apply new patches Load Balancer page removed By default, the WebLogic Server domain in a service instance is configured to use the local WebLogic identity store for administrators, application users, groups and roles. Alternatively, if your account includes a subscription to Oracle Identity Cloud Service, Oracle Java Cloud Service can integrate the WebLogic Server security realm with Oracle Identity Cloud Service when you provision a new service instance. As a result, users that access the administration consoles or your applications are authenticated against Oracle Identity See Specifying the Service Instance Details and Using Oracle Identity Cloud Service with Oracle Java Cloud Service in Administering Oracle Java If you enable Oracle Identity Cloud Service on a service instance, an Oracle managed load balancer is configured automatically. This load balancer runs external to your service instance. If you do not enable Oracle Identity Cloud Service on the service instance, you can configure a local load balancer as in previous releases. See Configuring the Load Balancer in Administering Oracle Java When you create an Oracle Java Cloud Service instance based on the Enterprise Edition with Coherence service edition, you no longer use capacity units when configuring the data tier. Now, you select whether you want to provision a data grid cluster, and then specify the following information: Compute shape Cluster size Managed servers per node See Configuring the Coherence Data Tier in Administering Oracle Java Some REST endpoints for service instances are new and others will be deprecated in the near future. See Deprecation Notice for Service Instances in REST API for Oracle Java New patch set updates (PSUs) are available: PSU for Oracle WebLogic Server PSU for Java Development Kit (JDK) You can see the availability of a patch on the Administration tile and on the Patching page. See Applying a Patch to an Oracle Java Cloud Service Instance and Exploring the Patching Page in Administering Oracle Java The Load Balancer page has been removed from the Oracle Java Cloud Service UI. The action menu adjacent to the instance name on the Instance Overview page now has an option to enable or disable the load balancer. See Disabling or Enabling the Load Balancer for an Oracle Java Cloud Service Instance in Administering Oracle Java 3

4 Changes to the provisioning wizard Minor changes to the user interface The Service Details page of the provisioning wizard now has two tabs: Simple and Advanced. In addition to input fields on the Simple tab, the Advanced tab enables you to: Specify domain partitions Enable access to administration consoles Deploy the sample application Configure backup and recovery Provision a load balancer See Specifying the Service Instance Details in Administering Oracle Java The Oracle Java Cloud Service user interface has minor changes in this release, for example: Information on in-progress operations is displayed on the Instance Overview page A new Service Restart icon is displayed on the Instance Overview page The Add Storage feature has moved from the Scale Up/Scale Down dialog to the action menu adjacent to a Managed Server details on the Overview page The following options have been added to the action menu adjacent to the service instance name on the Instance Overview page: Restart, Disable/Enable Load Balancer, Add Backup, View Activity. Add Load Balancer and console access choices have been removed. Menus and dialogs for creating a data grid in Oracle Java Cloud Service with Coherence have changed An action menu has replaced the buttons on the Backup page The Add Node dialog includes options for both WebLogic and load balancer nodes The AppToCloud wizard has the same layout and options as the standard instance creation wizard September 2017 Benefit from an easy new payment option In the Universal Credits subscription model, you commit to pay a certain amount up-front monthly or annually for a bundle of services. Under this model, you can use any combination of the services such as Oracle Java Cloud Service and Oracle Database Cloud Service in your bundle whenever you need them. Your service usage is billed hourly against your monthly committed payment. See Selecting a Payment Plan in Getting Started with Oracle Cloud. 4

5 Provision service instances quickly and easily Leverage existing licenses Provision Oracle Java Cloud Service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Service name changes New customers with a Universal Credit subscription can quickly create an Oracle Java Cloud Service by using one of three easy-to-use QuickStart templates: Simple Java Web App, Multi-Tier Java EE App with High Availability, and Highly Available Java EE App with Caching. You don t need to complete any prerequisites such as creating SSH keys or an Oracle Database Cloud Service database deployment the QuickStart software creates them for you. See Creating an Oracle Java Cloud Service Instance with QuickStart in Administering Oracle Java All customers can continue to create a custom Oracle Java Cloud Service instance by using the provisioning wizard you used in previous releases. See Creating a Custom Oracle Java Cloud Service Instance in Administering Oracle Java Apply an existing, unused, on-premises license for Oracle WebLogic Server when you create a custom Oracle Java Cloud Service instance. This Bring Your Own License entitlement reduces the overall cost of your service instance. You must have a Universal Credit subscription in order to use the Bring Your Own License feature in the provisioning wizard. If using the REST API, set the request parameter isbyol to true. See Specifying Basic Service Information in Administering Oracle Java Refer to your license agreement for more information. If your account has access to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure regions, you can select one of these regions when creating a custom Oracle Java Cloud Service instance. The configuration and behavior of service instances deployed on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure are similar to those of instances deployed on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic, but some differences exist. See About Instances on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in Administering Oracle Java The names of several Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) services have changed, including: Oracle Compute Cloud Service has been renamed Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute Classic Oracle Storage Cloud Service has been renamed Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Classic August 2017 Receive a notification of provisioning completion Configure backups after instance creation using the console On the Service page of the instance creation wizard, you can specify an address that will receive a notification after the provisioning for your service instance succeeds or fails. See Specifying Basic Service Instance Information in Administering Oracle Java If you create a service instance without configuring backups, you can configure and enable backups on the instance at a later time. Previously, you could only use the REST API to perform this task. See Adding a Backup Configuration to an Oracle Java Cloud Service Instance in Administering Oracle Java 5

6 July 2017 Apply new patches Use reserved IP addresses with IP networks Configure backups after instance creation using REST JSSE implementation for 11g instances June 2017 New patch set updates (PSUs) are available: PSU for Oracle WebLogic Server PSU for Java Development Kit (JDK) You can see the availability of a patch on the Administration tile and on the Patching page. See Applying a Patch to an Oracle Java Cloud Service Instance and Exploring the Patching Page in Administering Oracle Java If you specify an IP network within a region when provisioning an Oracle Java Cloud Service instance, you can now specify reserved IP addresses as well. This feature enables you to assign a fixed public IP address to instances attached to IP networks. In the past, IP addresses were autoassigned and dynamic, so the IP address could change every time the instance was started. See Design Considerations for an Oracle Java Cloud Service Instance and Assigning Reserved IP Addresses for a Service Instance in a Region in Administering Oracle Java If you create a service instance without configuring backups, you have the option to configure backups on the instance at a later time. You can only use the REST API to perform this task. See Adding a Backup Configuration to an Oracle Java Cloud Service Instance in Administering Oracle Java New Oracle WebLogic Server 11g service instances use the Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) to implement Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols. Existing 11g instances continue to use the Certicom SSL implementation. All Oracle WebLogic Server 12c instances continue to use JSSE by default. See Configuring SSL in Securing Oracle WebLogic Server Disable coordinated database backups May 2017 By default, when Oracle Java Cloud Service performs an automated backup on a service instance, it also backs up the associated Oracle Database Cloud Service deployment. There may be times when it s necessary to disable these coordinated database backups after creating an Oracle Java Cloud Service instance (for example, to reduce the amount of cloud storage being utilized). See Configuring Automated Backups in Administering Oracle Java Cloud Service. 6

7 Select a region for your service instance Use reserved IP addresses Select an IP network Reserve IP addresses for the load balancer Use memorybased scaling rules If your identity domain is enabled for compute regions, you can select a region during provisioning, where your Oracle Java Cloud Service will reside. The region is a geographical location. If you do not select a region by specifying No Preference in the service creation wizard, the provisioning flow is the same as in previous releases: Oracle selects a location for you. See Design Considerations for an Oracle Java Cloud Service Instance and Specifying Basic Service Instance Information in Administering Oracle Java If your identity domain is enabled for compute regions and you have selected a region, you can reserve IP addresses for the VMs in the Oracle Java Cloud Service instance you are creating. To create IP addresses, use the new IP Reservations tab on the Oracle Java Cloud Service Console. If you delete a service instance with a reserved IP address, you can reuse the IP address for a new service instance. See Reserving IP Addresses in Administering Oracle Java If you select a region on the Service page of the instance creation wizard, an IP Network drop-down list is displayed. For that region, you can select an IP network that you created using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute Classic. If you specify No Preference in this field, your service will be placed on a shared network in your identity domain as in previous releases. See: Creating an IP Network in Using Oracle Compute Service (IaaS) Specifying Basic Service Instance Information in Administering Oracle Java If you configure a local load balancer, you can reserve an IP address for each load balancer. You can select IP addresses you have created yourself, or assign IP addresses automatically, which is the previous behavior. To create IP addresses, use the new IP Reservations tab on the Oracle Java Cloud Service Console. See: Specifying the Service Instance Details in Administering Oracle Java Cloud Service Overview of Load Balancer Administration Tasks for an Oracle Java Cloud Service Instance in Administering Oracle Java Cloud Service You now have the option of selecting a memory metric as the basis for defining or editing scaling rules. Previously, you could only define an automatic scaling rule based on percentage of CPU utilization. Now, you can also select either percentage of memory utilization or total memory usage, in GB. See Defining Scaling Rules or Editing a Scaling Rule in Administering Oracle Java April

8 Disable backups when creating a service instance Display monitoring information Export domains with the AppToCloud Client Apply new patches Find help for a page in the UI When creating a service instance, set the Backup Destination field to None to disable backups. If desired, you can configure and enable backups on this instance after creating it. See Design Considerations for an Oracle Java Cloud Service Instance and Configuring Backup and Recovery in Administering Oracle Java Cloud Service. The monitoring information on the Instance Overview page has changed. Now the page shows an Instance field followed by an icon. When you click on the icon, a Health Check Details dialog shows information such as how long it has been running and its current heap usage. See Exploring the Oracle Java Cloud Service Instance Overview Page and Viewing Service Metrics in Oracle Java Cloud Service in Administering Oracle Java The latest AppToCloud tools installation includes a new graphical Client. It provides equivalent functionality to the existing command line tools Health Check, Export and Wallet Manager, and through a single user interface. See Checking the Health on an On-Premises WebLogic Domain and Exporting an On-Premises WebLogic Domain in Administering Oracle Java New patch set updates (PSUs) are available: PSU for Oracle WebLogic Server PSU for Java Development Kit (JDK) You can see the availability of a patch on the Administration tile and on the Patching page. See Applying a Patch to an Oracle Java Cloud Service Instance and Exploring the Patching Page in Administering Oracle Java For each page of the Oracle Java Cloud Service user interface, you can find links to help resources for that specific page. The Help Drawer contains links to documentation topics, tutorials, videos, and FAQs. You display the Help Drawer by clicking the tab on the right side of the screen. See Accessing Oracle Java Cloud Service and Exploring the Oracle Java Cloud Service Console in Administering Oracle Java March 2017 Instance Creation Wizard updated The Service Details page of the Instance Creation Wizard now has an Advanced section that includes the following fields: Domain Partitions Moved from the WebLogic Configuration section Enable access to Administration Consoles Moved from the WebLogic Access section Deploy Sample Application Moved from the WebLogic Access section See Configuring Advanced Settings in Administering Oracle Java Cloud Service. 8

9 Use AppToCloud to connect multiple service instances Disable backups February 2017 When creating a service instance with AppToCloud you can configure resources that connect to external systems like Foreign JNDI Providers or Foreign JMS Servers. As an alternative to entering a URL for these resources, you can associate them with other Oracle Java Cloud Service instances in the same identity domain. See the following topics in Administering Oracle Java Cloud Service: Configuring a Foreign JNDI Provider Configuring a Foreign JMS Server Configuring a Remote SAF Context Configuring a JMS Messaging Bridge Destination You can disable backups for an Oracle Java Cloud Service instance after it has been created. See Disabling or Enabling Backups for an Oracle Java Cloud Service Instance in Administering Oracle Java Choose Oracle Java Cloud Service for the Fusion Middleware option Remote deployment to port 7002 without an SSH tunnel January 2017 You can now choose the Oracle Java Cloud Service for Fusion Middleware option as the service level, and select either Oracle Data Integrator or Oracle WebCenter Portal, depending on your entitlements, when you use the Oracle Java Cloud Service provisioning wizard. You must install these products yourself. See: Provisioning Oracle WebCenter Portal Cloud Service tutorial Provisioning Oracle Data Integrator Cloud Service tutorial Specifying Basic Service Instance Information in Administering Oracle Java Cloud Service If you enable console access to your new service instance, you can remotely connect to the Administration Server by using port 7002 from WLST and other tools. You can continue to create an SSH tunnel to remotely connect to port 9001 on existing service instances. See Running WLST Commands from a Different Host and Understanding the Default Access Ports in Administering Oracle Java Support for Database 12.2 Oracle Java Cloud Service instances based on WebLogic Server now fully support the Database 12.2 version for containing the Oracle required schema and for the application database. If you specify a Database 12.2 database for the schema, there are no restrictions on what type of database you can specify for the application database. Previously, Database 12.2 was supported only as an application database. 9

10 Apply new patches New Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Classic web console New patch set updates (PSUs) are available: PSU for Oracle WebLogic Server PSU for Java Development Kit (JDK) You can see the availability of a patch on the Administration tile and on the Patching page. See Applying a Patch to an Oracle Java Cloud Service Instance and Exploring the Patching Page in Administering Oracle Java You can now create a storage container by using the new Storage Cloud Service web console. You can also create storage containers as you did in previous releases, by using: REST API, Java Library, or File Transfer Manager API. See Creating an Oracle Cloud Service Container in Administering Oracle Java December 2016 Consolidated Oracle Java Cloud Service wizard New compute shapes added Topology page removed The Provision New Java Cloud Service wizard has been consolidated from five pages to three. See Specifying Basic Service Instance Information, Specifying the Service Instance Details, and Confirming Your Oracle Java Cloud Service Instance Creation in Administering Oracle Java Cloud Service. The compute shape is the number of Oracle Compute Units (OCPUs) and amount of memory (RAM) that you want to allocate to the VMs that will contain the Administration Server and Managed Servers. Two new compute shapes are available: OC7: 16 OCPUs and 120 GB memory all-purpose compute shape OC5M: 16 OCPUs and 240 GB memory memory-intensive compute shape See Specifying the Service Instance Details in Administering Oracle Java The Topology tile and Topology page have been removed from the Oracle Java Cloud Service user interface. Functionality such as scaling has been moved to the Instance Overview page. See Exploring the Oracle Java Cloud Service Instance Overview Page in Administering Oracle Java 10

11 Scaling process changed New stack template and console As a result of the removal of the Topology page, launching a scaling process has changed. You now launch a scale-out (that is, add a cluster) from both the Instance s Administration and Overview pages, either by clicking the scale-out icon ( ) in the toolbar or from the service menu ( ) at the top of the page, adjacent to the service name. See Scaling Out an Oracle Java Cloud Service Cluster. You launch scale-in and node scaling (scale up/down) processes from the node line item on the Overview page. See Scaling In an Oracle Java Cloud Service Cluster and Scaling an Oracle Java Cloud Service Node. You launch automatic scaling from the service menu ( ) at the top of the instance s Administration and Overview pages, adjacent to the service name. See Scaling Automatically. Additionally, you now view scaling request activity on the Platform Service Console Activity page, either by directly accessing that page or by clicking View Activity on the service menu at the top of the instance s Administration and Overview pages, adjacent to the service name. See Viewing Scaling Requests in Administering Oracle Java Oracle Cloud Stack Manager includes a certified Oracle template to automate the provisioning of both Oracle Java Cloud Service and Oracle Database Cloud Service instances in a single operation. Quickly create cloud stacks with the Oracle-JCS-DBCS-Template by using either the command line interface (CLI) or the new web console. See these topics in Using Oracle Cloud Stack Manager: About Oracle Cloud Stack Manager Creating a Cloud Stack A Tutorial on using the Oracle-JCS-DBCS-Template is also available. On Oracle Cloud Machine The following sections describe what s new in Oracle Java Cloud Service on Oracle Cloud Machine. Oracle Cloud machine is part of the Oracle Cloud at Customer family of products that provide the capabilities of Oracle Cloud in your data center. Oracle upgrades your Oracle Cloud Machine environment at regular intervals. The following new features for Oracle Java Cloud Service are available in the most recently released Oracle Cloud Machine software. August

12 Select a region for your service instance Use reserved IP addresses Select an IP network Control access to your service instance Use a storage container for service instance backups Specify the name of the Oracle Required Schema database deployment Configure a second database for your application schema If your identity domain is enabled for compute regions, you can select a region during provisioning, where your Oracle Java Cloud Service will reside. The region is a geographical location. If you do not select a region by specifying No Preference in the service creation wizard, the provisioning flow is the same as in previous releases: Oracle selects a location for you. See Design Considerations for an Oracle Java Cloud Service Instance and Specifying Basic Service Instance Information in Using Oracle Java Cloud Service. If your identity domain is enabled for compute regions and you have selected a region, you can reserve IP addresses for the VMs in the Oracle Java Cloud Service instance you are creating. To create IP addresses, use the new IP Reservations tab on the Oracle Java Cloud Service Console. If you delete a service instance with a reserved IP address, you can reuse the IP address for a new service instance. See Reserving IP Addresses in Using Oracle Java If you select a region on the Service page of the instance creation wizard, an IP Network drop-down list is displayed. For that region, you can select an IP network that you created using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute Classic. If you specify No Preference in this field, your service will be placed on a shared network in your identity domain as in previous releases. See: Creating an IP Network in Using Oracle Compute Service (IaaS) Specifying Basic Service Instance Information in Using Oracle Java Access rules enable you to control network access to the VMs that make up your Oracle Java Cloud Service instance. Each rule has a source, a destination, a destination port and a transport protocol. See Managing Access Rules for an Oracle Java Cloud Service Instance in Using Oracle Java You no longer use an NFS remote backup location for service instance backups. You use an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Classic container for backups. See: Creating an Oracle Storage Cloud Service Container in Administering Oracle Java Cloud Service Configuring the Databases in Administering Oracle Java Cloud Service Select the name of the Oracle Database Cloud Service database deployment you want to use for the Oracle Required Schema from the drop-down menu. You no longer specify a connection string unless your are creating an Oracle Java Cloud Service Virtual Image instance and specifying an Oracle Database Cloud Service Virtual Image database. See Configuring the Databases in Administering Oracle Java Cloud Service. You can optionally specify a second Oracle Database Cloud Service deployment when you provision an Oracle Java Cloud Service instance. The second database is dedicated for your application schema. See Configuring the Databases in Administering Oracle Java 12

13 Support for Database 12.2 Create rules for automatic scaling Disable backups when creating a service instance Migrate applications with AppToCloud Provision Oracle Fusion Middleware on service instances Create instances with Cloud Stack Manager Display monitoring information Use the PSM Command Line Interface (CLI) Oracle Java Cloud Service instances based on WebLogic Server now fully support the Database 12.2 version for containing the Oracle required schema and for the application database. If you specify a Database 12.2 database for the schema, there are no restrictions on what type of database you can specify for the application database. Previously, Database 12.2 was supported only as an application database. You can configure Oracle Java Cloud Service to automatically scale a cluster in or out by defining an auto-scaling rule, based on CPU utilization, that determines when to add or remove nodes. You can also edit and/or delete existing rules. See About Automatic Scaling in Using Oracle Java When creating a service instance, set the Backup Destination field to None to disable backups. See Configuring Backup and Recovery in Using Oracle Java Cloud Service. Oracle s AppToCloud infrastructure allows you to export an existing Oracle WebLogic Server domain configuration and Java applications, and to then provision a new Oracle Java Cloud Service instance with the same domain resources and applications. See Typical Workflow for Migrating Applications to Oracle Java Cloud Service in Administering Oracle Java You can now choose the Oracle Java Cloud Service for Fusion Middleware service level, and select either Oracle Data Integrator or Oracle WebCenter Portal, depending on your entitlements, when you use the Oracle Java Cloud Service provisioning wizard.
