Deprecated Functionality for WebLogic Server 12.2.1.4.0
Posted by Dirk Nachbar on Monday, November 18, 2019 with 4 comments
Since around 6 weeks the last Oracle WebLogic Server 12.2.1.4.0 Release is available and I got some spare time to read the necessary documentations.
In the "What's new Guide" https://docs.oracle.com/en/middleware/fusion-middleware/weblogic-server/12.2.1.4/notes/whatsnew.html I found 2 interesting deprecated features, which weren't announced somewhere else.
Meaning of deprecated features (source MOS Note 888028.1)
Oracle Traffic Director is in deprecated status for Oracle WebLogic Server 12.2.1.4.0 https://docs.oracle.com/en/middleware/fusion-middleware/weblogic-server/12.2.1.4/notes/whatsnew.html#GUID-362AA8C0-082A-4744-B7F2-2BD4E0194F30. Oracle recommends as alternatives the usage of the Oracle HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS, Apache HTTPD Server with the corresponding Server Plugins and so on.
The second interesting feature which is in deprecated status for Oracle WebLogic Server 12.2.1.4.0 is the WebLogic Multitenant feature and the Resource Consumption Management https://docs.oracle.com/en/middleware/fusion-middleware/weblogic-server/12.2.1.4/notes/whatsnew.html#GUID-B95FF848-893D-44A7-925E-1F87279F6CAE. As an alternative Oracle mentions the usage of Container-Based Solutions.

Oracle Fusion Middleware deprecation process is to announce a feature deprecated in a given release where it will continue to be fully supported for bug fixes until the next major release. In the next major release, the feature will then be removed. In some cases it may remain, but only to extend the transition period where error correction support is no longer expected.

Why is Oracle deprecating Multitenacy? is it because Docker like solutions are better suited?
ReplyDeleteHi Miguel,
Deleteyes, exactly Oracle is encouraging the people to move to Container Solutions like Docker and so on.
Cheers Dirk
Does Oracle Reports are deprecated from the version 12.2.1.3 ,as mentioned here(https://docs.oracle.com/en/middleware/developer-tools/forms/12.2.1.4/releasenotes-fnr/whats-new-this-release.html#GUID-CAB70EB1-9436-4EFC-87E1-F2987F8E0299) .
ReplyDeleteIf So what is the best alternative tool for Developers society ?
Hi,
Deletewithin the link you posted you can see what Oracle is recommending as an alternative for Oracle Reports:
"Oracle recommends migrating to Oracle BI Publisher for reporting purposes. Oracle BI Publisher is Oracle’s strategic product for enterprise reporting. This reporting solution allows authoring, managing, and delivering pixel-perfect customer facing reports against various data sources with web browser or familiar desktop tools."
As far as I know, Oracle will integrate the Oracle BI Publisher in the next major release of Oracle Forms.
Cheers
