Why and how register?
This is the seminar telling you what happens behind the scenes. We will tell you about automation, why your fix is not included in the next Release Update – and how you can request an inclusion. In addition, we will discuss Oracle on Windows and on other platforms, we will show you what the MAIN codeline is – and why you need to request a backport or a merge, and we we desperately need your opatch lsinventory.
This is the registration link: REGISTER HERE
So hurry since the seminar will be on Thursday, June 20 – this week at 16:00h CET (which will be 10am EDT).
If the Register Now tab does not show up, please use another browser. Sometimes this happens when you have plugins installed protecting you from tracking and other things.
Click on the picture to register – it will open a separate browser TAB
Will we share slides and the video?
Of course, you’ll be able to download the slides – and usually a week after the event, you’ll get access to the on-demand recording, too. But you will miss the opportunity to discuss the topic with us during the event. Hence, it is much better to attend live rather than watching just the recording.
And we are looking forward to talk to you soon!

Mike, windows version : stuck in upgrade loop. Setup autoupgrade to move from 12.2 to 19.9 (gold copy) along side migration from 11.2 to 12.2. Since found 19.9 has mmon memory leak. So create a 19.19 gold copy, to find Autoupgrade fails with LOGIN.sql error. For which a patch for 19.18 is only available. So request 19.19 patch. But while waiting create 19.18 gold copy with extra patch in. This fails to install with template coping issue, which is fixed in 19.19.
So why are not patches not produced for versions going forward. Going to 21, has to shorter support period. SR 3-33658325441.. and 12.2 to 23.x not supported from what you stated.

Hi John,
I am just reading your SR.
At first, please upload at least the AutoUpgrade logs – it is very hard if not impossible to assist without the proper logs. And they don’t contain personal information.
Then I see that a backport has been requested for you:
BUG 35606619 – BACKPORT OF 29869909 ON WINDOWS DATABASE BP 19.19.0.0.230418 (BLR #10337166) Regression Alert
The backport has been escalated but it can’t be produced by the automation. Hence, it has been assigned to a developer this morning and is going to be produced manually for you.
Just to be very clear (even though that doesn’t help you any further):
This is NOT an AutoUpgrade issue – it is an issue with a buffer of SQL Plus which gets called to execute the upgrade statements. So every other technique would lead to the same problem. As I mentioned, I know that this doesn’t help you any further. You need to wait for the backport to be produced. But be assure that the backport is escalated and has an owner.
Furthermore, I never stated that you can upgrade from 12.2.0.1 to 23c. All our slides and presentations show that you will have to be at 19c or 21c in order to be able to upgrade directly to 23c. I mentioned that AutoUpgrade does support upgrades to 23c already within the tool being downloadable. And technically, it does. But my mates have blocked this right now since no on-prem version of 23c is available yet. And the current Free Edition does not support upgrades yet.
Cheers,
Mike
