exp imp

Good question we receive quite often:

Is “imp” still supported in Oracle Database 12.2?

The old “exp” got desupported with Oracle Database 11.1.0.6 – but “imp” is still supported, even in Oracle Database 12.2.0.x. You should be able to import your old dumps into the newest release of the database and migrate even VERY old releases directly to Oracle Database 12.2.

Actually, the biggest step upwards we’ve heard about a year … [ Read more ]

EM Cloud Control 12.1.0.4 (or newer) OMS Repository certified with Oracle Database 12.1.0.2 plus patches

Posted on March 13, 2015 by Enterprise Manager 9

The certification for Oracle Database 12.1.0.2 as Repository Database underneath of Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12.1.0.4 (OMS) had been revoked for a while. One reason may have been the potential removal of the SYSMAN user during a DBUA upgrade 😉 But this is just a rumor. I don’t know the exact reasons.

After checking with the certification matrix earlier today I realized:

Cloud Control Repository Database Certification Oracle 12.1.0.2

Oracle Database 12.1.0.2 is certified as a repository database for Cloud Control resp. OMS.

But … with a few important restrictions (see MOS Note:1987905.1 – 12c Database has been Certified as a 12cR4 Repository with Certain Patchset … [ Read more ]
