1.8 Upgrading to Oracle Database 12c Release 2
This procedure describes how to upgrade an Oracle Database from 11.2 to 12c release 2 with a single command, using Rapid Home Provisioning, both for managed and unmanaged Oracle homes.
Before you Begin
-
To upgrade to Oracle Database 12c release 2 (12.2.0.1), your source database must be either Oracle Database 11g release 2 (11.2.0.3 or 11.2.0.4), or Oracle Database 12c release 1 (12.1.0.2).
-
Oracle Grid Infrastructure on which the pre-upgrade database is running must be of the same release or later than the database release to which you are upgrading.
-
The source Oracle home to be upgraded can be a managed working copy, that is an Oracle home provisioned using Rapid Home Provisioning, or an unmanaged home, that is, an Oracle home not provisioned using Rapid Home Provisioning. If you are upgrading an unmanaged Oracle home, provide the complete path of the database for upgrade.
Procedure to Upgrade Oracle Database using Rapid Home Provisioning
Note:
During upgrade, if an error occurs, the procedure stops and allows you to fix the error. After fixing the error, you can resume the upgrade operation from where it last stopped.Watch a video
