Upgrade: What if your time zone in source is newer than in target?

Posted on April 9, 2020 by Time Zone - DST 15

Sometimes there is just a simple question at the beginning. Like Daniel and I discussed this morning. Does AutoUpgrade check if the time zone file in source is higher than in target? While we discussed this, I downloaded the patches already to try it out. And in addition, I could double-check whether the time zone patches for 19c are now RU-independent finally. But the question remains for Upgrade: What if your time zone in source is newer than in target?

Posted on May 7, 2018 by Best Practice 14

We read and listen to your comments. And that’s why my team mate Byron has added a new preupgrade.jar and changes to MOS Note:884522.1.

Oracle Database 12c pre-upgrade scripts and JAVAVM

Posted on September 16, 2013 by JVM Upgrade / Migration 0

This is a great example of why you should always review the README file when upgrading to a new release. Here is an issue that we found during customer beta testing, and that you will want to be aware of if you are upgrading to Oracle Database 12c and do not have the JAVAVM component in your database. The following text has been added to the 12.1 Readme under Section 1.1: 

TITLE: Pre-Upgrade Tool Does Not Generate Output Logs 

The pre-upgrade tool, preupgrd.sql, is not able to create a directory to 
store the output files if the JAVAVM component
