Can Oracle AS 10g 10.1.2.0.0 be upgraded to 10.1.4??

We currently have our applications running on Oracle 10g AS 10.1.2.0.0. I was going through the hassle of installing the patchsets to get it up to 10.1.4.
I went to this page: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/html/upg_1014_1012_intro.html#UpgradeSteps. This document says that an upgrade is supported. For me, since I'm running on 10.1.2.0.0, its harder since I have to get it to 10.1.2.0.2.
From the doc:
If running OracleAS Portal 10.1.2.0.0 or 10.1.2.0.1 then apply the Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.1.0) patchset to bring the OracleAS Portal repository version to 10.1.2.0.2 before applying the OracleAS Portal 10g Release 2 (10.1.4) upgrade
However, the Doc 329361.1 says:
Oracle AS 10g 10.1.2.1.0 Patchset should be applied only on 10.1.2.0.0 or 10.1.2.0.1 Oracle Homes, which will bring them on par with 10.1.2.0.2 bug fixes. However, the patchset will not add any new functionality that 10.1.2.0.2 contains. The Database Patchset 10.1.0.4.2 is a minimal requirement on Metadata Repository homes before applying 10.1.2.1 Patchset, and is included with the patch download.
And Doc 339992.1 it says:
While you cannot upgrade or expand your existing Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.0) installations to 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.2), you can install a 10.1.2.0.2 middle tiers against an existing 10.1.2.0.0 Infrastructure. Once a new 10.1.2.0.2 middle tier is installed it can be configured to serve as a replacement for the original 10.1.2.0.0 one, allowing the older middle tier to be decommissioned.
So is this the only way I can upgrade my 10.1.2.0.0? Of course I mean with the functionality of that version.
Richard

So I understand that we can get all the (portal) functionality of Portal 10.1.4 by upgrading the application server from 10.1.2.0.0 to 10.1.2.1.0. But I'm curious what is the application server functionality that one gets with 10.1.2.0.2 and not with 10.1.2.1.0? Is it (just) Reports, Forms and Bi Beans?
I'd love a link to someplace that states this explicitly.

  • Can Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Database 10g Express Edition co-exist ?

    I just installed Oracle Database 10g Express Edition. But I also want to access isql*plus for study purposes.
    Can I download/install Oracle Database 10g without removing Oracle Database 10g Express Edition ?

    I decided to download and install Oracle 10g myself and it was pretty quick to install. So I answered my own question : Oracle 10g Express is definitely able to co-exist with Oracle 10g no problem.
    I want to post/share this answer for others who started with Oracle 10g express first - the journey I started.
    The url isql*plus is displayed near the end of the installation together with the enterprise manager url. Pretty cool.
    Now I can learn both Oracle 10g enterprise edition and Oracle 10g Express which is based on apex engine.

  • Can Oracle Database 10g Express Edition be installed on CentOS?

    Can it be installed on CentOS?

    CentOS claims they're RH without the brand artwork so the answer is yes. I installed EE for testing purposes on CentOS and it worked ok. You should have no problem at all.

  • Can Oracle Express 10g be set up so a database is accessible without acct?

    I have a test database set up on one Windows Virtual PC and apps that need to connect to it on another.
    I can see the database from the app VPC fine through sqldeveloper, but I need to log in with a username and password (which I can't seem to set to blank).
    This is a local test environment that has no external access, so I'm not concerned about security. Is it possible to make the database visible without a user account at all? Or is there a way to set a blank password?
    Thanks.

    Nope. No way. User names are vital in Oracle databases.

    Hello everybody,
    I'm very new to Discover and I need to install it on my WinXP laptop for study purposes.
    Can Oracle BI 10g be installed on Windows XP ?
    When installing, I receive a warning : "Oracle Business Intelligence is not certified to be used on Windows XP" but installation keeps going.
    What does this mean? If I do the installation this way, will it finally work ?
    Thank you very much to all!

    You are on the wrong thread.

    Thanks inadvance

    I figure out you are trying to install 10gR2 on top of an existing 9iR2 Oracle Home. This is corrected at the Path definition window. Most probably you just click on the <Next> and by default the 9iR2 Oracle Home was selected. You must define a new oracle home for the 10gR2 install.

  • Can't succesfully install Oracle Database 10g Express Edition on Ubuntu

    Hi,
    I've been trying to install Oracle Database 10g xe on Ubuntu 10.04 and when I execute the .deb package (oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb) I get a quick installation that doesn't ask me for any configuration settings. When the installation is finished I don't get any menu in my Applications menu named "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition" as specified in Getting Started Guide (I only get some items grouped into an category called "Other" (Backup Database, Get Started, Get Started With Oracle Database 10g Express Edition, Go To Online Forum, Read Documentation, Read Online Help, Register For Online Forum, Restore Database, Run SQL Command Line, Start Database and Stop Database). As a consequence I can't access the Oracle Database Home Page.
    In addition when I click on Start Database I get the following message: "Operation failed. josep is not member of 'dba' group".
    I've tried to re-download the packages and to configure it by editing /etc/init.d/oracle-xe but this doesn't solve my problem.
    can you give me some help?
    Thabk you in advance!

    What should i do? I hope there is solution for it other than installing another linux flavor.

    On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11, the installation will pass the operating system prerequisite checks if you change each 10 or 11 to 9 in the /etc/SuSE-release file. Ensure that you replace the original values in the /etc/SuSE-release file after the Oracle installation is complete.
    Original value: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86)

  • Can we create new tablespace in Oracle Database 10g Express Edition?

    Hi,
    Can we create new tablespace in Oracle Database 10g Express Edition instead of using the default "users" tablespace provided?
    Please advise.
    Thank you.

    Correct. The sum of all user tablespaces is not allowed to exceed 4 GIG.
    You could try shrinking your tablespaces. Theres a script called maxshrink on http://asktom.oracle.com which is useful for this.
    You could compress your tables.
    If you are storing lobs, you could consider storing them as bfiles.
    Or upgrade to Oracle Standard Edition 1. Its not that expensive.

  • How can i convert data from DBF to oracle database 10g?

    Sir,
    How can i convert data from DBF to oracle database 10g?

    I assume you at least know how to dump the contents of foxpro dbf file into CSV format.
    Regarding SQL*Loader, hope this demo makes it a bit clear to you...
    http://www.princeton.edu/~storacle/sqlloader_demo.shtml
    I agree that it is an old web page (references Oracle 8.0.5) but basics remain the same.
    If it is still unclear to you after referring above link, then get an Oracle consultant.

  • Can I use oracle client 10g express to work on oracle 11g database

    I have installed an oracle DB 11g, I also installed oracle client 10g express edition to create users and tables. I noticed that the users I created can't connect to db with error message "Error java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied" and tables I created can't access from my program. I get error message "Error java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist". I start to suspect that client 10g express edition can't use with oracle 11g. Please help.
    any suggestion is appreciated.
