Single Down time

This document assumes that the instance R12.2.4 is stable and no errors and warnings from OS or
Database or Applications (components), database Init parameters or set for the upgrade.
Source Database System - Database 12 CPUs, 24GB RAM, Disk 80GB for the OS, Disk 240GB for
Application file system (u01)
Source Application Node with 4 CPUs, 14GB RAM, Disk 80GB, Disk 300GB for Oracle EBS data files and
binaries (d01)
2nos Target Database Grid infrastructure and database (80GB u01 mount point)

ASM and ACFS configured with +DATADG01 ASM disk group with 400GB

Golden Gate HAA OCFS2 or ACFS 40GB mount point /gg01

2nos Target Application 50GB for OS

Shared (OCFS2 or NFS4) - fs1 (120GB), fs2 (120GB), fs_ne (40GB) and OracleInventory (2GB)

Shared UTL file directory shared with database nodes (40GB, same mount point on all nodes /d02/applptmp)

Assumes good understanding and knowledge of R12.2 Application architecture and EBS adop patching tool
and oracle opatch tool.
Assumes good understanding of database and grid patching and RAC Architecture R12c
Assume knowledge of R12.1.0.2.1 In Memory database concept for tuning.

Expected RESULT

Expected RESULT

Prerequisites
Installed or Upgraded Oracle EBS R12.2.4 running on Linux x86_64 or any version of certified
linux Database and Oracle EBS nodes
Linux OS 6.5 is installed and configure, with all the required patches and performance and
interoperability patches for EBS R12.2.4
oracle User, with default group as oinsall- owns oracle database and binaries
applmgr user, with default group as apps owns Application layer
BASH is the default shell for the root, oracle and grid user.
Apply DST patch (v18), on Database 11.2.0.4
2 RAC nodes with Grid and database with R12c In Memory binaries installed and configured
with ASM, ACFS, OCFS2/NFS4. ASM compatibility parameter set to R12.1.0.2
2 Node EBS apps tier with shared Application Tier System with OCFS2 or NFS4/NFS3
Backup apps and database before starting upgrade. Space requirements depends on the size
of the database and time required to backup depends on the i/o through put.

Planning for an HAA / MAA

1. Overview of the Upgrade / Migration
2. Installed Components and System Requirements
3. Release EBS 12.2.4 Architecture With R12c (12.1.0.2.1) In Memory DB
4. Scheduling Time for an Upgrade and migration and convert to RAC and Shared Application Tier System
Target Env Prepare tasks:
a) Hard Ware Sizing not covered here
b) Grid and database installs , with required patches
c) ASM configuration or any cluster file system for DB
d) HAA / MAA for EBS file system, select one option

1) ACFS / OCFS2 / NFS configuration for GG optional

2) NFS NFS4 / NFS 3 for Shared Application Tier System and UTL / APPLPTMP optional
3) OCFS2 Cluster file system -for Shared Application Tier System and UTL / APPLPTMP optional
1. Load Balancer, Named Service etc
2. Enterprise manager R12c for performance measure
3. Custom script to tune EBS and Data Base System.
5. Customized Environments
1. Post migration / Clone tasks
2. Configure load balancer
3. DR configuration
4. GG replication for OBIEE or BI

6. Product-specific Considerations
