Enhancement
Telemetry data collection for Enterprise Workloads
We have released an upgraded Enterprise Workloads agent aimed at improving your data protection experience. The enhanced agent collects telemetry data including network, compute, and disk IO metrics from the protected servers and virtual machines. This data is used to optimize Cloud Services performances and provide you with better user experience and enhanced services. This support is made available for VMware workloads with the March 18, 2024 release. The agent support will be extended to other workloads in the subsequent releases.
Customer action required: To leverage the benefits of this agent, you must upgrade your VMware backup proxy to the version released on March 18, 2024.

Oracle DTC
Enhancement
Database upgrade support
Earlier, an upgraded database would be discovered as a new rather than an upgraded one, resulting in the failure of scheduled backups on the existing database. With the new database upgrade support, when the database is upgraded, it is correctly discovered as an upgraded one, and the scheduled backups are executed seamlessly.
Customer action required:
After upgrading the database, perform the following actions:
-
To avoid failure of scheduled backups, either wait for the scheduled auto-discovery or perform the database discovery manually from the Management Console before taking backups.
-
If you have performed a restore from the recovery points created from older versions or if you have performed a major database version upgrade, run the following commands from the SQL prompt:
SQL> startup upgrade;
$ $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl catctl.pl -n 4 catupgrd.sql
