This release introduces enhanced Oracle visibility, improved data modeling for database resources, and the launch of Opscompass Studio for streamlined licensing analysis.
New Features
Opscompass Studio
Opscompass Studio is a desktop application used to connect securely to Oracle databases and collect feature‑usage data for Oracle licensing analysis. Studio bundles all required dependencies, including the Opscompass CLI and Oracle Instant Client, so no separate installations or administrator privileges are required.
Availability
- Windows installer available on GitHub
- macOS (DMG) version in progress
Feature usage offering
The new Oracle Feature Usage page provides continuous visibility into Oracle options and management packs that have been detected as active. This replaces manual feature usage scripts and gives you an always‑current view aligned with how Oracle audits typically assess usage.
Notes
The way Oracle database resources are represented has changed. As a result, it may appear that all previous databases were removed and new ones were added. This is expected behavior.
You may also notice that the number of “deleted” databases does not match the number of “new” ones. This is due to a shift in how databases are defined:
- Previous model: A “database” was defined as a unique combination of Instance + Container + Host
- New model: A “database” represents the logical database itself
This updated model enables more accurate and meaningful tracking of change (drift) across your Oracle environment, helping you better understand what is actually changing at the database level.
Data Gathering
Added db_unique_name to Best Practices data collection
- Improves database identification and reporting accuracy
