Our doc team has put a lot of effort together with the help of my team mates and created these 9 Upgrade and Migration Scenarios as part of the official Oracle documentation.
The idea is to cut out the most common use cases and give a quick and comprehensive overview on all necessary steps.
9 Upgrade and Migration Scenarios
These comprehensive 9 scenarios cover non-CDB and PDB/CDB as well as changing to new hardware:

Further Information
Of course you will find some of these examples here on the blog as well, such as:
- Upgrade to Oracle 18.3.0 on premises
- Unplug a 12.2.0.1 PDB and Plug into 18c in the Cloud
- Upgrade PDB via unplug/plug/upgrade – One at a time

this is crazy. So much detailed information on each topic. Someone has put much hard work making into this.
Thanks for the sharing !
Mike,
If the SYS password in 11g database is only version 10G, it will not get changed to 11G 12C, no matter what. The USER$ table still has the hash for the password. All documented methods of changing the password version do not work for SYS. I have a SR open, but nothing from support so far.
Do you have any insight?
Thanks,
Arun
Do you know how I can download the Oracle pre-built VM for 11g-12c referenced in the “upgrade-hol-12201-3656612.pdf” doc? The version on the Oracle download site if for 18c but I need the 11g-12c. (I was working with it, had a problem, deleted it thinking i could easily re-download it. However I can’t find it anywhere. Thank you!!!
Ethan,
we removed it as the 12.2 lab is not available anymore.
Please drop me an email (firstname.lastname@oracle.com) and I can send it to you.
Cheers,
Mike
