Why upgrade now?
■ Nov 2013: 11.5.10.2 Extended Support ends

(MOS 1495337.1)
Overview of the Upgrade Process(Simplified Approach)
■ Fresh install of R12.1.1
■ Copy current production database (database only)
■ Upgrade to R12.1.1
■ Release to testers and developers
■ Lather, rinse, repeat.
Overview of the Upgrade Process(What you should be doing, part 1)
■ Fresh install of R12.1.1
■ Fresh install of most recent RDBMS software
■ Patch current RDBMS software
■ Patch current R12.1.1 tech stack
appsTier ORACLE_HOMEs (10.1.2, 10.1.3, JDK, JRE)
■ Complete clone of PROD
■ Perform Preupgrade Steps
■ Copy pre-upgrade database (database only)
Overview of the Upgrade Process(What you should be doing, part 2)
■ Upgrade database to most recent version
■ Upgrade to R12.1.1
■ Apply pre-install patches prior to R12.1.3
■ Upgrade to R12.1.3
■ Apply patches to bring system current
■ Apply recommended & generic data fix patches for key modules
■ Release to testers and developers
■ Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
What else should we be doing?
■ Rethink customizations
■ Evaluate Oracle licensing
■ Rethink system architecture
■ OATM Conversion?
■ Database Upgrade?
■ Operating System Upgrade?
■ Hardware Refresh?
■ Platform Migration?
■ Implement additional modules?
■ Implement other components? (RAC? SOA? LDAP?)
Now is the time……to rethink customizations
■ Are they still needed?
■ What is the impact?
■ How much does it cost to maintain?
■ Are they really needed?
■ Are you sure?
Now is the time……to evaluate Oracle licensing
Processor Core Factor Table:
http://tinyurl.com/2vmg64k
0.25 Some UltraSPARC T1, SPARC T3
0.50 Some UltraSPARC T1, T2+, T4, SPARC64 VII+, X, Opteron, Intel Xeon, Older Intel Itanium,
0.75 SPARC64 VI, VII, UltraSPARC IV, IV+, T2, PA-RISC, POWER5+
1.00 Itanium, POWER 6/7/8
Now is the time……to rethink system architecture
■ Single Node
▪ Easier to manage
▪ Could end up over-paying for licenses
■ Multiple Nodes
▪ Split dbTier and appsTier into their own hardware
▪ Shared Applications Filesystem
▪ Scalability where it matters
▪ More effective licensing
Now is the time……for a database upgrade
■ New features
■ Better support for security and other updates
■ Longer support timeline
■ Eliminate additional downtime and testing
■ RDBMS 11gR2 was released Q3 2009
■ RDBMS 12cR1 was released Q2 2013
■ Improved memory utilization & data compression
■ RDBMS 12cR1 (12.1.0.1) Certified for EBS 11i & R12 September, 2013
■ New Features in RDBMS 12.1.0.1 NOT certified with EBSinclude:
▪ Pluggable databases (multiple databases within a single
instance)
▪ Multi-tenancy Support
Now is the time……for an operating system upgrade
■ Linux: Move to 64-bit now!
■ Take advantage of 64-bit memory
■ Better support for new hardware
■ Better support for security and other updates
■ Eliminate additional downtime and testing
Now is the time……for a hardware refresh
■ Move to multi-core CPUs
■ Increase physical memory (Remember that RAM doesn’t impact licensing!)
■ Leverage technology improvements (SSD accelerators)
■ Allows you to leave source system unchanged
■ Simplifies operating system upgrade
■ Simplifies system architecture changes
■ Eliminate additional downtime and testing
■ Leverage virtualization technologies?
Now is the time……for a platform migration
■ May not add significant time to the process (you’re performing some of the tasks anyway!)
■ Different platform may have advantages
■ Strategic use of Oracle licensing
■ Unix/Linux variants aren’t that different!
Now is the time……to implement new components
■ Real Application Clusters (RAC)
■ Automated Storage Management (ASM)
■ Active Data Guard
■ Advanced Compression
■ Oracle Access Manager (Single Sign-On, LDAP)
■ E-Business Suite Extensions for Oracle Endeca
■ Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE)
Now is the time……to implement additional modules
■ Subledger Accounting
■ E-Business Tax
■ Financial Consolidation Hub
■ Financial Services Accounting Hub
■ Profitibility Manager
■ Process Operations (OPM)
■ Sourcing Optimization
