I’m not a Cloud Control expert but I use the tool from time to time – and most of my customers are heavy users of it, especially in larger deployments.

If you use Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c (12.1.0.3, 12.1.0.4 or 12.1.0.5) and would like to evaluate your options to upgrade to Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13c then please consult the following very useful documentation:

Migration of an EM Repository cross-platform?

Can you migrate your EM Cloud Control Repository to another OS platform? Cross-platform and cross-Endianness?

This question sounds so incredibly simple that you won’t even start thinking I guess. Same for ourselves. Use Data Pump. Or Transportable Tablespaces. Or Full Transportable Export/Import if your source is at least 11.2.0.3 or newer.

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 …
