Combining Instances
If you have a continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) process for Oracle Integration, you can have either Oracle Integration Generation 2 or Oracle Integration 3 instances, but not both. After Oracle upgrades your Oracle Integration Generation 2 instances to Oracle Integration 3, you can create additional Oracle Integration 3 instances. See Upgrade from Oracle Integration Generation 2 to Oracle Integration 3.
Additionally, you must use the same versions for all your environments. For instance, you can't use an Oracle Integration Generation 2 instance for development and an Oracle Integration 3 instance for production.
If Oracle hasn't upgraded your Oracle Integration Generation 2 instances yet and you want to explore the capabilities of Oracle Integration 3, file a service request on My Oracle Support.
