We recently worked on a customer proof of concept (PoC) involving Oracle databases hosted in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) within private VCN subnets. The goal was to evaluate OCI-managed MCP servers and determine whether extending their available toolsets with additional database operations could reduce reliance on agent skills. By exposing reusable operations as MCP tools, we aimed to reduce token…
During a recent maintenance activity, I patched an Oracle Forms & Reports 14.1.2 environment on Linux. The patching itself completed successfully, but immediately after the restart, Oracle Reports started failing. At first, the issue looked like a Java or JDK problem. After a full investigation, it turned out to be different. This blog explains the full story from beginning to…
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) provides an easy-to-use command line interface named oci, with which you can do a lot of administrative tasks. Let’s see in this blog how to create virtual machines in OCI with this. Setting up oci-cli If you are already connected to your OCI tenancy with the command line, you can skip this part. Otherwise, let’s begin.…

The Challenge: Modern Data Complexity As businesses scale, so do their data environments. With hybrid cloud adoption, legacy system migrations, and stricter compliance requirements, IT teams must ensure test environments are: The Solution: Delphix & OMrun Also for your heterogenouse data storage technology, Delphix and OMrun provide a seamless way to virtualize, anonymize and validate your test data securely and…
While applying what seemed to be a minor update, we managed to “break” our cloud-init automated OCI compute instance deployment process. This blog describes how to quickly troubleshoot & debug your #cloud-config on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (not so different from other hyperscalers) safe harbor statement The below troubleshooting scenario has been simplified to ease the understanding of the root cause…

By Franck Pachot . Delphix is a tool for easy cloning of databases. The idea is that all is automated: the user can create a clone, rewind or refresh it with one click. However, I was suprised that the following common scenario is not managed by the Delphix engine: You clone from production, say Oracle 12c You upgrade the clone,…
