Release highlights
Dedicated PGD installation scenario: Distributed High Availability (DHA) clusters, built on EDB Postgres Distributed (PGD), now have their own
pgdinstallation scenario, separated fromdbaas. If you're upgrading and use DHA clusters, addpgdto yourHybridControlPlanescenarios list to keep them.More backup flexibility with a decoupled Velero installation: You can now disable Hybrid Manager's Velero installation on platforms that already provide their own (such as Nutanix), while still applying your own backup storage location and schedule configuration.
Test your email notification setup: The notification settings page now has a Test Email button, so you can validate email credentials and see diagnostic details right away if a test fails.
EPAS-to-EPAS migration support: You can now create Migration Portal projects with an EDB Postgres Advanced Server (EPAS) source, including schema assessment and export to a live EPAS target server.
Postgres refers to all distributions supported by EDB
- PostgreSQL
- EDB Enterprise Postgres - formerly, EDB Postgres Extended Server (PGE)
- EDB Enterprise Postgres (Oracle Compatible) - formerly, EDB Postgres Advanced Server (EPAS)
Release details
Hybrid Manager (HM) platform
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Enhancement | Added a dedicated pgd installation scenario for managing Distributed High Availability (DHA) clusters, separated from dbaas. If you're upgrading and use DHA clusters, add pgd to your HybridControlPlane scenarios list to retain them — see Upgrading from 2026.8 to 2026.9 for the required order of operations. |
| Enhancement | Separated the Velero installation from its backup configuration, so you can disable Velero on platforms that already provide their own (such as Nutanix). If you customized the backup schedule using the old Velero parameter, move that setting to the new one — the old parameter no longer takes effect. |
| Platform support | Certified the Hybrid Manager operator 2.2.0 for Red Hat OpenShift (RHOS), available through OperatorHub and OLM from the Red Hat certified catalog. See Upgrading the operator on Red Hat OpenShift to upgrade an existing RHOS installation. |
| Platform support | Added support for using OpenShift Routes as the platform ingress mechanism when running Hybrid Manager on Red Hat OpenShift (RHOS). See Upgrading the operator on Red Hat OpenShift for related upgrade steps. |
| Bug fix | Fixed an issue whereby the cluster creation form, when prefilled from a cluster template, could overwrite a cluster name or password that the user had already typed while the template data was still loading. |
| Bug fix | Fixed an issue whereby a multi-datacenter secondary installation could fail: if a secondary HM instance was installed with a secondary role before completing federation with its primary, the telemetry collector rendered an invalid trust configuration, halting installation. It now completes successfully, with cross-datacenter telemetry established automatically once federation completes. |
HM console
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Enhancement | Added a Test Email button to the notification settings, so you can validate email credentials and diagnose delivery issues directly from the HM console. When a test email fails, the portal now surfaces diagnostic details to help you troubleshoot the configuration. |
| Platform support | Fixed an issue whereby the HammerDB marketplace app didn't run on arm64 nodes. HammerDB was updated to v6.0, which publishes a multi-arch image with arm64 support. |
| Bug fix | Fixed an issue whereby the HammerDB marketplace app couldn't connect to a PostgreSQL database over an OpenShift Route configured for direct-TLS/SNI passthrough. The app previously dropped the sslnegotiation connection parameter, causing the connectivity check and benchmark run to fail. The app now preserves this parameter and correctly negotiates direct TLS connections. |
| Bug fix | Fixed an issue whereby the Locations page displayed a generic Something went wrong error instead of a descriptive message when the user didn't have permissions on any project. |
Migrations
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Enhancement | Added a Streaming migration option that skips the initial snapshot and streams only source changes from the moment the migration starts. Use it when the destination already holds the historical data, such as from another load process, or in fallback replication scenarios where you just need to keep two databases in sync going forward. |
| Enhancement | Added support for migrating Postgres large objects (pg_largeobject) for Schema and Data migrations. Since logical decoding can't capture large object writes, DMS now copies large object content separately during the Schema Finalization stage; enable it with the LO_SNAPSHOT_ENABLED parameter. |
| Platform support | Added support for EDB Postgres Advanced Server (EPAS) as a migration source. You can now create migration projects with an EPAS source through the Migration Portal, including schema assessment and export to a live EPAS target server. |
| Bug fix | Fixed an issue whereby EPAS SYNONYM statements, including public synonyms, weren't migrated during schema migration. |
| Bug fix | Fixed an issue in the Migration Portal whereby usage of sys.dbms_debug_vc2coll as an inline collection constructor wasn't detected as an unsupported feature during assessment. Constructor calls are now checked against the unsupported-type catalog, in addition to declared variables, ensuring the incompatibility is correctly reported. |
| Bug fix | Fixed an issue whereby assessing a schema containing PACKAGE BODY objects could produce a null pointer error during the schema assessment process. |
| Bug fix | Fixed an issue whereby spl_check line numbers for PACKAGE BODY warnings in the schema assessment could point to a line several lines above the actual issue, particularly for members with wrapped parameter lists. Line numbers are now anchored on the member body opener, so warnings point to the correct line. |
| Bug fix | Fixed an issue whereby schema-less default privileges (including ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES rules with no target schema and GRANT ... ON SCHEMAS statements) weren't collected during full PostgreSQL DDL extraction. Previously, these privileges were missing from the Migration Portal assessment, which could result in a migrated target database lacking the intended default grants. |
| Bug fix | Fixed an issue whereby DDL extraction for tables in secondary or dependency schemas omitted PRIMARY KEY, UNIQUE, CHECK, and NOT NULL constraints, along with their backing indexes, resulting in incomplete migrated schemas when compared against the source database. |
| Bug fix | Fixed an issue whereby NOT NULL constraints on table columns weren't preserved when migrating schemas from Oracle to Postgres, and object grants were incorrectly dropped or collapsed to a single grant when reassessing a role, user, or profile with multiple GRANT statements. |
