Which Release Should You Target?

Get Familiar with WebLogic Server 11g Sysadmins are already familiar with WebLogic Server IF using these: Technology Release 11i Release 12 Oracle Access Manager 10gR1, 11gR1 11gR1 Oracle Internet Directory 11gR1 11gR1 WebCenter 11gR1 Portal 11gR1 11gR1 Discoverer 11gR1 11gR1 Business Intelligence (EE+) 11gR1 11gR1 Business Intelligence Applications 7.9.6 7.9.6 Oracle SOA Suite 11gR1 11gR1 Enterprise Manager 11gR1, 12cR2 11gR1, 12cR2 86

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 doesn t come with 32-bit OOTB If you need to stay with your 32-bit OS, plan to upgrade 12.1 See Oracle E-Business Suite Upgrades and Platform Migration (1377213.1) 87

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 90
