Before Upgrading to release 12, one has to upgrade to 11.5.10.2...Is this correct?

 

No Bhavesh,
As long as you are 11.5.7 or higher you can upgarde to R12

 

Hi Atul,

Very useful information.
Are you going to post any info regarding the installation of a fresh R12? Are there major differences between installation of prior versions and R12 ( Rapid install process, ..etc).

Cheers
Firas

 

Firas,
Yes I am going to put fresh install steps on R12 as son as I have my VMWare ready with Linux.

There are few changes (enhancement) in install which I am going to cover after / before r12 install post

Hi Atul,
There two major new features with release 12:
- eBusiness Tax (old tax codes)
- Subledger accounting (old AX)
Can you tell us if the upgrade process take those two features?
Thanks.

 

Hi Atul,
We r in process of upgrading oracle apps 11.5.10.2 to release 12.
I want to know what are the major functional changes(in AR,AP,GL & HRMS modules) in terms of Business Processing between versions 11.5.10.2 and R12.

Thanks

hi Atul,

i am a APPS DBA , We are planing to do the upgrade and migration from (hpux to itanium) from 11.5.7 to R12.
can u please check the following steps and suggest me, i had earlier done the upgrade from with in hpux it works fine
but in this case we need to migrate to itanium, and currently the migration note is not available for R12 , i had changed a
small step to skip the migration , instead of installing the R12 with upgrade option on hpux , i am planning to install the
R12 with upgrade option on the Itanium and then move the datafile to itanium and first complete the DB upgrade using the
newli created 10g binaries from the R12 upgrade option installation.

and then upgrading the application on the itanium it self

below i had given the detailed step please suggest me whether this step will work ?

Current Env

server : hpux
apps : 11.5.7
Rdbms : 8.1.7

Proposed Env
server : hp Itanium
apps : R12
Rdbms : 10gR2 (10.2.0)

11.5.7 to R12 upgrade and migrating the OS


1. Perform the pre-request for upgrade on the source instance which is 11.5.7 on (hpux),


I Pre-Update Tasks on the source hpux machine


1. Apply 11i.AD.I on 11.5.7 on hpux

2. Apply TUMS Patch

3. Generating the TUMS Report

4. Convert MultiOrg

5. Run AD preparation scripts (required)

6. Gather schema statistics for CBO (required)


II Prepare for the Upgrade - perform the step on the new hp itanium server (target)

Run Rapid Install (required) for R12 with upgrade option

"start Rapid Install by typing rapidwiz

>> select Upgrade to Oracle Applications Release 12. Click Next.


>>> On the Select Upgrade Action screen, select Create Upgrade File System."


And now we need to migrate the data files of the old 8.1.7 to the new server

clarify me whether the datafiles of hpux and itanium are compactable with each other. so that
a simple copy will work

or any specific migration is needed

And now upgrade the datafiles to 10g using the new 10g binaries created rapid install upgrade opt
ion.


so now the database will be both upgraded and migrated to 10g on itanium server


III

now we can perform the R12 applciation upgrade on the new itanium server


Upgrading to Release 12

1. Drop MRC schema (conditional) on the upgraded db

2. Ensure that Maintenance Mode is enabled (required)

3. Apply Release 12 AD minipack (required)

4. Run the American English upgrade patch driver (required)

IV Finish the Upgrade on the target itanium instance

1.. Configure and start server processes (required)

2. Run the Autoconfig on the dbTier

3. Run Rapid Install with upgrade option


please suggest that this will work or not, if works then check any other steps has to be added

Can I install R12 in Linux, use the export/import process from 11i to R12 and run the post upgrade steps to complete the upgrade? I appreciate if you can explain ..

many many thanks in advance

I know before running the multi org conversion on adadmin we need to assign the operating unit value to MO:Operating unit. But here we dont have an OU. Can you please share the experience how to do this

Hi Atul,
Can you explain me the steps for upgrading 11i with RAC to R12 with RAC.
I am confused as I believe Rapid Install only ask for one DB node during laying down the file System, it may not ask RAc information for DB tier.
Can you please elaborate on this?
