• Validate your sizing through testing with representative data and workloads
• Discuss with your systems integrator or hardware vendor
See Oracle E-Business Suite Installation Guide: Using Rapid Install Release 12.2
• Database
– SYSTEM tablespace needs double its current space allocation
• 25GB increases to 50GB
– SEED tablespace needs double its current space allocation
• 5GB increases to 10GB
• File System
– Two file systems need double the space of one file system
See Oracle E-Business Suite Installation Guide: Using Rapid Install Release 12.2
• If you didn’t change to 64-bit operating system during your 12.1 project,
you must do so during your 12.2 project
– 11.5.10: Linux and Windows are certified for 32-bit only
– 12.1: Linux and Windows are certified for both 32- and 64-bit
– 12.2: Linux and Windows are certified for 64-bit only

If Doing an R12.2 Upgrade and a Platform Migration …
Consider Your Approach
Database Tier Application Tier
• Many customers migrate the database tier • You can migrate the application tier using
in a prior project and downtime the standard R12.2 upgrade process
– Some customers do database migration and – Rapid Install provides the R12.2 file system for
R12.2 upgrade in the same project & downtime your new application tier platform
– If you migrate the database in a prior downtime,
intermediate split configuration must certified
– Choice of migration method will depend on
database size & byte ordering (“endian-ness”) of
source and target platforms
