ActiveGate version vs Oracle Extension version

[mn_24]

Hello,

from where we could first check which version of ActiveGate should we have in place in order to upgrade the Oracle Extension? We've found the answer on the hard way and try to avoid this in future. 

For example the last Oracle Extension version is 2.4.3 which requires ActiveGate 1.90 or later but from where we could check that as a pre-requisite to upgrade?

Check Deployment status / ActiveGates, in filter select Group and pick group you used for extension configuration.

I saw that there is a new version for upgrade for the Oracle Extension and just did it however it required a newer ActiveGate version but I didn't know that and at the end I had to re-configure the extension...
So my question is from where to check first as a pre-requsite which ActiveGate version should I have in place in order not to have any problems with the Oracle Extension?

If there is a requirement for extension, it should be mentioned in release notes. If there is nothing mentioned it's probably fault of developers.

Since the last two versions I could see this - accept as an improvement 🙂

You can check required version via hub page (f.e. https://www.dynatrace.com/hub/detail/oracle-database/?query=oracle&filter=all#release-notes), but you have to download extension and look into extension.yaml file (in extension.zip file).

In top of file there is a required Dyna versions info, f.e. (for Oracle DB Extension 2.4.3):

name: com.dynatrace.extension.sql-oracle
version: 2.4.3
minDynatraceVersion: 1.290.0
minEECVersion: 1.290.0
