2 January 2018 Release Support for provisioning on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Support for IP reservations You can provision Oracle SOA Cloud Service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure combines the elasticity and utility of public cloud with the granular control, security, and predictability of on-premises infrastructure to deliver high-performance, high availability, and cost-effective infrastructure services. See About SOA Cloud Service Instances in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure of Administering Oracle SOA Cloud Service in a Customer- Oracle SOA Cloud Service supports IP reservations. You can reserve IP addresses for the VMs in your service instance during provisioning. See Creating and Managing IP Reservations and Exploring the Oracle SOA Cloud Service IP Reservations Page of Administering Oracle SOA Cloud Service in a Customer- November 2017 Release Support for the EDI Adapter is now available for the SOA with SB & B2B service type. The EDI Adapter provides a comprehensive platform for the implementation and management of business processes utilizing EDI and its related standards.

You cannot add the B2B Adapter for EDI to existing instances, nor can you remove it from an instance that it is assigned to. The adapter can only be set during the initial provisioning process and can only be removed by deleting the instance. Billing can be paused by stopping the instance, since Universal Credits model is billed by the hour. See How Billing Works. September 2017 Release

3 Bring Your Own License (BYOL) billing You can now activate the Bring Your Own License (BYOL) version of Oracle SOA Cloud Service and you will be charged the BYOL rate for the activated Oracle SOA Cloud Service provided that you have sufficient supported on-premises licenses as required and specified in the Service for Oracle PaaS. See Overview of Oracle Cloud Subscriptions. September 2017 Release IP networks functionality is enabled for Oracle SOA Cloud Service. Various bugs have been fixed. IP networks functionality is now fully supported. If the regions and IP networks features are supported for your account, during provisioning you can attach the service instance to an IP network that is already created in Oracle Compute Cloud Service. See Service Instance Information in Administering Oracle SOA Cloud Service in a Customer-Managed Environment for specific information and About IP Networks in Using Oracle Compute Cloud Service (IaaS) for general information about IP networks. A number of bugs were fixed and documents updated. August 2017 Release IP Networks is enabled for Oracle SOA Cloud Service. WebLogic Server version is supported in this release. Various bugs have been fixed. July 2017 Release Only the new compute zone zones in the regional data centers are enabled for IP Networks. If your identity domain does not have access to one of these new zones, submit a Service Request to Oracle support and request it be added to your identity domain. Note that the IP Reservations functionality is not yet enabled. See About IP Networks in Using Oracle Compute Cloud Service (IaaS) for general information about IP Networks. Beginning with , WebLogic Server version is used for instances provisioned with the service type. A number of bugs were fixed and documents updated. 3

4 IP Networks is now enabled for Oracle SOA Cloud Service. Various bugs have been fixed. Note that the IP Reservations functionality is not yet enabled. See About IP Networks in Using Oracle Compute Cloud Service (IaaS) for general information about IP Networks. A number of bugs were fixed and documents updated. June 2017 Release Integration Continuous Availability features are now supported and included with the SOACS subscription The feature that automatically allows you to create your Oracle Storage Cloud container has returned after being absent for the past release. These Oracle SOA Suite features offer a set of operational features including availability, performance, scalability, diagnostic and other operational aspects. See Introducing Oracle Integration Continuous Availability s The required Oracle Storage Cloud container can now be automatically created for you when you provision an instance. All you have to do is check the Create Cloud Storage Container checkbox on the Instance Details page, specify a name and credentials. and the wizard does the rest. The method for updating backup storage credentials has changed. 1. From the Services page of the Oracle SOA Cloud Service Console, click an existing service instance. 2. On the Overview page, click the menu adjacent to the service instance name and select Update Service Credentials. 3. Update the user name and password. Oracle Database 12c Release 2 ( ) is now supported for Oracle SOA Cloud Service instances. Oracle Database 12c Release 2 ( ) can now be chosen as the database when provisioning instances.

5 Can now add a load balancer after an instance is provisioned. By default, the AdminServer port 7002 and the OTD Admin port 8989 access rules are now disabled. Starting in , the onpremises high availability features for the file and FTP adapters are supported. You can now once again add a load balancer to an instance after it has been provisioned. See Administering the Load Balancer for an Oracle SOA Cloud Service Instance The user can enable this during instance creation by selecting the option Enable Admin Console. If not selected during instance creation, it can always be enabled using the Access Rules tab. Store files in the /u01/soacs/dbfs_directio/ share/soa/soaosb/ha directory. April 2017 Release The following new features were added for this release REST APIs are not backward compatible.
