Plan for Related Systems Changes

If Currently on 32-bit OS, Upgrade to 64-bit OS
A good time to change OS platform is at an EBS upgrade

12.2 is certified only on 64-bit operating systems
12.1 is certified on both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems

Increasingly, modern hardware doesnt come with 32-bit OOTB
See Oracle E-Business Suite Upgrades and Platform Migration

(1377213.1)
99
Plan for Related System Changes

Upgrade to Database 11gR2 Before or During Your EBS Project
11i, 12.1.3, and 12.2 are certified for 11gR2

EBS 12.2 requires database 11gR2 or later
Apply latest certified patch set (e.g. 11.2.0.4 or 12.1.0.2) plus additional
prerequisite patches
See Database Preparation Guidelines for Release 12.1 Upgrade (761570.1)
See Database Preparation Guidelines for Release 12.2 Upgrade (1349240.1)
100
Plan for Related System Changes

Switch these External Services (Required for 12.2)
Switch from Oracle Single Sign-On to Oracle Access Manager 11gR2

12.2 is certified only with Oracle Access Manager 11g
OAM 11gR2 (11.1.2) is certified for 11i and 12.0/12.1.3
See: Overview of Single Sign-On Integration Options for Oracle E-Business Suite
(1388152.1)
Switch from Oracle Portal to Oracle WebCenter Portal

12.2 is certified only with Oracle WebCenter Portal
Oracle WebCenter Portal 11gR2 (11.1.1.6) is certified for 12.0/12.1.3
101
Consider New Operational Characteristics

All Patches Delivered Post-12.2 are Online Patches
Downtime windows are now measured in minutes

What operations besides patching do you perform during downtime?
Can these operations be performed while the E-Business Suite is online?
New development standards for online patching compliance

New utilities to help identify and correct compliance issues
Advice on how to fix objects that are not compliant
Patches still need to be tested on a test system

Patch Edition is not a test environment
Users cannot connect to the Patch Edition
