Requirements for Oracle 11gR2 DB cont…
• NEW! Starting with 11.2.0.2.0, upgrades are no
longer delivered as patchsets, but as full installs
("out of place upgrade")
• Implications:
—New Oracle Home needed for each upgrade
—More disk space required
—No need to install base release then
immediately patch
—Quarterly CPUs and PSUs will be applied to
the 4-digit release
—Easier fall-back in case of problems
—Should probably name the Oracle_Home with
4 digit release

11g Database, what you need to know?
• Database password case sensitivity (OPTIONAL)
• Password profile limits (unlimited was the norm, no longer in 11g)
• No passwords on Default roles (Ban_default_connect for example)
• Start considering moving away from file system structures, and explore ASM.
• Auto Memory Management, good or bad idea?
• 11.2.0.2 fixes a lot of bugs….
• RMAN is the standard now….
• GRID before dbconsole….recommended.
• Compatibility is key within your spfile/init file…
• Diagnostic Parameters changes….— No longer located under
/u01/app/oracle/admin/Dbname/cdump, etc…

Version control with additional applications
• ODS/EDW = 11.2.0.1 (8.1/8.2 versions)
• Development testing, hopeful of certification by early
March 2011.
• Luminis DB is supported with 11gR2
• DegreeWorks DB is supported with 11gR2
• UC4 DB is supported with 11gR2
• INB requires 10.1.2.3 or 11g Fusion Middleware
• SSB requires 10.1.2.3, 10.1.3 or 11g Fusion
Middleware
NOTE: If using Cascade or FM Needs Analysis, this
requires an OC4J Instance, which isn’t available with
10.1.2.3 or 11g Fusions Middleware. Which means,
10.1.3 will need to be installed separately.
