Oracle 11gR2 database upgrade in Apps R12.1.1

Detailed article for upgrade Apps R12 database from version 11gR1 to 11gR2

So many individuals keep on requesting me to post an article about - "Upgrade database to 11gR2 in an Oracle E-Business suite R12.1.1 Environment"

Oracle E-Business suite R12.1.1 will be shipped with database version 11.1.0.7.

Here is the step-by-step approach for upgrading database version from 11.1.0.7 to 11.2.0.1

1) Pre-Upgrade Steps

- perform all OS per-requistes for Installing 11gR2 SW
- Install 11gR2 database software only
- Install 11gR2 examples CD
- copy required file from 11gR1 (11.1.0.7) $ORACLE_HOME to 11gR2 (11.2.0.1) $HOME
- perform a full system cold backup
- Install all required application and database patches
- Run pre-upgrade utlu112i.sql and update changes as required

2) Upgrade

- execute dbua to perform an database upgrade
- verify the upgrade logfile for any errors

3) Post upgrade steps

- start database listener
- Run scripts (adgrants.sql, adctxprv.sql, wfaqupfix.sql) on database
- Run autoconfig on database tier
- startup all Application Services and verify database upgrade in OAM.

Pre-upgrade Steps:

- perform all OS per-requistes for Installing 11gR2 SW

Br. Syed, I would like to thank you for the wonderful note. I recently got the opportunity to install a fresh R12.1.3 for VCP instance. And your document helped me a lot in successfully upgrading DB from 11.1.0.7 to 11.2.0.4.
Many many thanks again.
