Finally … it took a little while but now Oracle GoldenGate 12.3 is supported for Oracle Database 12.2.0.1. Never heard of Oracle GoldeGate? Then you may look either into our slide deck and see the customer case of Amadeus. Or you may read further on OTN: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/goldengate/overview/index.html Oracle GoldenGate 12.3 is supported for Oracle Database 12.2.0.1 Roy and I received this question quite often in the past months: When will Oracle GoldenGate be certified for use with Oracle Database 12.2.0.1? I just learned about it today via the blog post of my friend YV RaviKumar who wrote about it. And…

Is “imp” still supported in Oracle Database 12.2?
Good question we receive quite often: Is “imp” still supported in Oracle Database 12.2? For clarification: I don’t talk about “impdp” but about old “imp” (import). And yes, it is still supported in Oracle 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 ago was an exp from Oracle V5 and…
Is your APEX version certified with your Database release?
Last week I’ve had an interesting discussion with a customer about the certification of APEX and Oracle Database 12.2.0.1. I did a bit of research and emailing – and thanks to the APEX team – this is the source of truth for APEX certifications.

SAP certified Oracle Database 12.1.0.2 as of March 31, 2015! Yes, it’s true.

EM Cloud Control 12.1.0.4 (or newer) OMS Repository certified with Oracle Database 12.1.0.2 plus patches
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Database 12.1.0.2 as Repository Database underneath of Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12.1.0.4 (OMS) had been revoked for a while.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: 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…
