11G vs 12C

Hi
We are migrating our 11g standard database to 12c, however the first thing that we noticed is that EM is no longer part of the Oracle Database Installation. In the past, EM was installed by default in 11g, however in 12c is not even an option.
With this change, I have the following questions:
-Can I download EM 12c and installed for free? or now do I have to pay for it?
-Is the EM 12c located in the Oracle site the equivalent of the previous 11g version or is a more robust and more resource consuming version?
Thanks

Em express has very limited features.
You can download EM 12c for free if you have monitored databases all licensed. You need to license packs in order to fully monitor the databases through EM 12c

What are the things we need to take care while moving from 11g to 12c.

Dear All,
One of my client having the application running on 11g and now he wants to move it on 12c.
Now he is asking to me that, what are the things will not work or impacted due to this. Any code level changes, syntax, functions etc are working in 11g and now there is difference or not working in 12c. Could you please help me in this.
Is there any document for all these thing. I searched on google but not able to find any specific doc.
Thanks in advance.

Database in 11g will now act as PDB's in 12c.
And what makes you say so? What about the changes/fixes done in the optimizer that would alter the plans? What about if the client wants to use in-memory database option? And your statement that database in 11g will now act as PDB in 12c doesn't make any sense. What if the client is not willing to move to multitenancy? What about the scripts that are running in 11g without any issues and suddenly, will break in 12c due to PDB's ? Do you have any technical reference to validate your claim that there won't be any impact ?

Which track to take for DBA OCA: 11g or 12c?

Hi,
I want to do become an Oracle Database Administrator Certified Associate (OCA).
Which of the 2 options should I take? 11g or 12c?
I am actually a developer (Forms & PL/SQL) trying to become a DBA.
Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards

Why? How will having an OCA certification bring you closer to your goal?

Take the 12c path -
1. that is where everything 'Oracle' is headed.
2. companies will be increasingly upgrading/installing 12c as time goes by
3. people will knowledge about 12c will be more and more in demand as time goes by
4. people will knowledge about 11c will be less and less sin demand as time goes by
5. the 12c knowledge you gain will become more and more useful to others (e.g. DBAs and your manager) at your company as they consider when, or if, to upgrade their databases to 12c.
6. 12c knowledge will likely make you more valuable to your current company even before you get your certification. Managers like people that take the initiative to learn something new especially if that 'something new' is a skill that will be useful to the company.
7. the exam costs for 12c is the same as for 11g
For 11g see - http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=458&get_params=p_track_id:Datab11g
For 12c see - http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=458&get_params=p_track_id:DBOCA12C
8. you can freely download and install 12c for learning and practice just as you can 11g
The only downside I can think of is that there are fewer people you can turn to for help with any 12c-specific questions or issues you may run into. But there are plenty of books and online tutorials/articles that cover the bulk of those.
BACK TO THE FUTURE!

Need methodology for upgrading/migrating CRS Home from 11g to 12c RAC.

Hi
Is there a detailed step-by-step guide on how to migrate from Windows 64bit RAC dual node cluster from 11g to 12C?
So far I've found lots of documentation related to Linux, not Windows.
Cheers

Oracle 11g and 12c on same windows 7 machine

Hi folks,
Want to try out 12c on my windows 7 laptop but still want to keep my 11g database.
Anyone tried running Oracle 11g and 12c on same windows machine?
Any links or guidelines are appreciated
Thanks

you won't be the first or the last person to try it.
this question can be easily answered but why question something that it's easier to test by yourself?
My advice: Try and if you have problems then question us.

Install WebLogic 11g and 12c to deploy Unifer

Does this mean I need to install both 11g and 12c to make deploy unifer. I wonder why does it need both.

FYI. You do not need to install both 11g and 12c to deploy Unifier. For testing purposes i was able to deploy unifer on 11g weblogic server by creating a domain and deploying it. It seem that 12c is only needed if you have multiple server applications

Oracle Database OCA Certification 11g or 12c ?

Hi Guys,
I'm Solaris System Engineer with around 10 yr of exp. , I wish to work as Oracle DBA. So, I've started learning SQL and Oracle.
I need your help to decide which certification version will be useful ?
Suggestion are welcome.
Thanks

My rule of thumb is the higher the better. So on that basis go for 12c rather than 11g. And your certification will remain active for longer.
However to get to DBA OCP level you will need to submit an approved authorised training course at some point. So its best to plan for that early. If you get your training paid for no problem. If you have to have cheap 11g WDP training nearby or you already have a course which is accepted for 11g then that is valid reasons to to go for 11g.
Anyway if you study for your SQL exam first it's not a decision you have to make right away.
The are my personal opinions only.
.... Its also worth mentioning the 1z0-0[56]3 exam for OCP is a lot about backups ..... and from your background to get into DBA work that could be a critical dealbreaker.
.... And its also worth mentioning one or two of the exams satisfying the 12c approved list are 2 day courses and therefore (relatively) cheaper.

Hi i am planning to write 1z0-144 exam in 2 weeks. will the questions based on 11g or 12c documents? should i prepare base on 12 c contents or stick to 11g only. i don't want to answer incorrect answer.

should i prepare base on 12 c contents or stick to 11g only. i don't want to answer incorrect answer. please advise...

Reading your answer i flipped to the exam page at Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL | Oracle Certification Exam ... the key information fields are:
Exam Product Version: Oracle Database 11g
and
Validated Against: This exam has been validated against Oracle Database 10g, Oracle Database 11g, Oracle Database 11g Release 2, and Oracle Database 12c Release 1.
The exam product version is the best source to read the documentation against.
In the event of a feature varying between versions ( core language features will typically only upwardly enhance, some compilation/optimization features might on the very rate occasion vary) the question is likely to explictly state 'oracle 11g [release 1|2]'
( To state the obvious for this exam the topic "Use the new PL/SQL compiler initialization parameters" would likely refer to 11g introduced features and would not be present in 10g ).

FMW 11G with 12c database

Our DBA's are looking into upgrading our database to 12c (probably 12.1.3).The Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.x) Certification Matrix says "Oracle DB 12.1.0.1+ certification is available only with WLS 10.3.6+/FMW 11.1.1.7+". Does that mean we can use Oracle database 12.1.3 with WLS 10.3.6/FMW 11.1.1.7 and greater.
Any pointers will be of great help.
Thanks,
RT

Yes, you can use the RDBMS 12.1.3 with the WLS 10.3.6. Please refer to very helpful MMOS Note: WebLogic Server 12.1.1 and 10.3.6 Support for Oracle 12c Database (Doc ID 1564509.1)

Upgrade Weblogic 11g to 12c on JD Edwards Templates

Hi
I am running into issues upgrading to Weblogic 12c on JD Edwards VM templates (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24902_01/doc.91/e37833/ch_undvmtem.htm#EOIOV107).
The installer stops because MW_HOME is not defined. My questions is where should I point MW_HOME to on the Linux machine.
The installer automatically selects:
/u01/app/oracle (but this is empty)
The Middleware directory can be found:
/u01/Oracle/Middleware
Under this directory there are a number of directories including the "user_projects" and "wlserver_10.3"
Any advise or update prerequisites would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mac

MW_HOME chosen as /u01/Oracle/Middleware is correct.
The files "user_projects" and "wlserver_10.3" are related to Weblogic Server.
Let me know what issues are you facing after choosing MW_home ...

Can i use "Oracle Database 12c: Performance Management and Tuning " training for getting certification on "Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning 1Z0-054"

i have taken "Oracle Database 12c: Performance Management and Tuning new" training from oracle university. Now i would like to get certified on "Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning 1Z0-054" exam. Is it possible ?

I essentially endorse and refer you to Matthews' and John's post above.
I would differ with slightly with Matthew because my guess is you would often be able to use like for like 12c training for an 11g certification ( I believe there are precedents). BEFORE ANYONE ASKS THE OTHER WAY DOESN'T HAPPEN.
.... but totally concur with Matthew you would ill advised to procede on that basis without one of:
- This being advertised as possible on the website : e.g. https://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=654&get_params=p_id:169 ... option 2 show courses.
- Confirmation from Brandye
- Confirmation from an Oracle Certification Support Web Ticket ( http://education.oracle.com/pls/eval-eddap-dcd/OU_SUPPORT_OCP.home?p_source=OCP )
... The more common (and in my opinion usually better) way would be get your 11g DBA OCP ( or higher first) and then take the 1z0-054. I am almost certain they will accept your 12c course for the 11g DBA OCP.
If you are choosing the route of not being a 11g (or 12c ) DBA OCP first but are on option 2 and relying on the course for certification then the issue is more in the balance and you are even more strongly advised to get confirmation before proceding (remember if the rules need to be changed for you only then any profit out of the exam is lost).
In general my understanding is Oracle would prefer to encourage people to train on the latest version of product that is available for training and will prefer to avoid restrictions which would cause you to train at a lower version. ( This is simply my guess at Oracle University Policy ... personal opinion only).
Having said all I have said I'd encourage you to go with the advice of the earlier two posts.

Convert custom management plug-in in OEM 11g to OEM 12c compatible plug-in

Hi All,
We have a custom plug-in developed and deployed in OEM 11g. We are planning to move to OEM 12c(12.1.0.4) and installing OEM 12c(fresh install) in a new host instead of migrating existing 11g to 12c as part of upgrade process.
Now question is what are the options if I want to use existing 11g custom plug-in in OEM 12c ? As I understand 11g plug-ins are jar file but OEM 12c plug-ins are OPAR files.
Can we export plug-in from OEM 11g and import directly in OEM 12c or if there are any steps to conver 11g plugin to 12c plugin before importing it in 12c.
Please suggest the options available without re-developing the plug-ins for OEM 12c.
Thanks

To overwrite and update your current custom plug-in update that is stored in a repository, use the overwrite option.
$emcli create_custom_plugin_update
-agent_name="agent_name"
-plugin_id="plugin_id"
[-overwrite]
This command creates and imports a custom plug-in update from an existing Management Agent where the selected plug-in is deployed. The custom plug-in update will be used for all subsequent plug-in deployments on any Management Agent, in place of Oracle supplied versions.
Custom plug-in update is created as per plug-in type. If a custom plug-in update is created, and after three days, a patch is applied, in order to include the patch, the custom plug-in update will have to be created again.
$emcli list_custom_plugin_updates
Please refer the below doc for more info..
