Key Factors Driving Time and Resources
• Size of EBS footprint, uptake of new functionality
– Number of modules and business flows that will need validation
• Number and complexity of customizations and integrations
– Compliance with new 12.2 development standards, including for vendor-supplied integrations
• Other IT changes you combine with the EBS upgrade
– Moving to new HW/OS, combining multiple instances into a global single instance, etc.
• Complexity of topology
– Multiple middle tier nodes, nodes inside and outside the firewall, RAC, etc.
• Technical team skills
– Readiness to adapt to 12.2 technology changes: Online Patching and WebLogic Server

Plan for Impacts on Business Users
Overview

• Expectations around Online Patching downtime


• New, more modern user experience
• Any new functionality and business process changes you choose to deploy

Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | 128
Online Patching Downtime
Set Appropriate Expectations for Online Patching Downtime

• Online Patching does not mean zero downtime


– There is still a brief Cutover phase during which users are offline
• DBAs can choose to combine Online Patching Cutover with other
maintenance activities that prolong the downtime, e.g.:
– Applying custom code
– Updating system passwords
– Patching the Database Tier
• Online Patching cannot be used for Database and OS patching
– Users will still experience a downtime when Database and OS patches are applied

Plan for Adequate Compute Capacity
Consider CPU and Memory Needed for Online Patching

• Critical business operations continue during Online Patching


• System resources consumed by a patch can be throttled
• If your 12.1 production operation fully utilizes CPU and memory, you may
need additional hardware resources
• Plan to do a hardware capacity analysis

Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |

Plan for Adequate Storage
Consider Disk Space Needed for Online Patching

• 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 

Plan for Required OS Platform
If Currently Running on 32-bit Linux or Windows, Must Upgrade to 64-bit

• 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
