  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: EclipseLink does not correctly          *
  *                      recognize Oracle 19c database version   *
  *                      and defaults to older supported         *
  *                      version                                 *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When running with EclipseLink using an Oracle datasource, if
  the Oracle version is 19c, EclipseLink will set the database
  Platform class to
  org.eclipse.persistence.platform.database.OraclePlatform. The
  reason this happens is because
  org.eclipse.persistence.platform.database.Oracle19Platform
  doesn't exist. Running with this lower version of
  OraclePlatform may result in application errors that were not
  occurring before the upgrade of Oracle to version 19c
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix for this APAR changes the EclipseLink implementation
  and involves an update to the third-party source. See
  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=548814
  
  This fix is currently targeted for WebSphere Application
  Server 9.0.5.5 and WebSphere Liberty 20.0.0.5. For
