Deprecation of EBS health checks
• As of the 18.3.0 release the ORAchk and EXAchk EBS checks feature has
been deprecated
• This means the running of health checks against EBS is no longer being
enhanced, but is still supported until the ORAchk and EXAchk 19.3.0
release (approximately one year).
• In the ORAchk and EXAchk 19.3.0 release the EBS checks feature will be
desupported, meaning Oracle will no longer fix bugs in ORAchk or EXAchk
related to EBS checks and the EBS checking feature will be removed
altogether.
• All EBS health checks can be performed using the EBS Analyzers available at
