EBS upgrade 11i to R12.1.3

Hi Hussain,
we are currently on 11.5.10.2 and looking for upgrade to 12.1.3 (LATEST RELEASE)
my concern are
- i need to shortest patch for upgrade , minimize the downtime as much as possible
- can we upgrade directly to 12.1.3 without prior 12 releases?
- can we upgrade technically only and keep the functional as in 11i without changes and gradually upgrading module by module?
- please share the MOS for EBS upgrade from 11i to R12.1.3 if any.
many thanks for your help and support
regards
Raj

You will have to upgrade to 12.1.1 then upgrade to 12.1.3
Technical upgrade only won't be sufficient and you will need to consider the functional changes.

    is it possible?
    I am new to Apps Upgrades things. can you please point me to any step by step document for Upgrades?

    is it possible?You can run Oracle Apps R12 and 10gR2 (64-bit)/11gR1 (64-bit) on HP-UX Itanium.

  • EBS upgrade from 11i to R12 using Maintenance Wizard question

    I have installed Maintenance Wizard in development envrionment. I picked module to upgrade 11i to R12. When I am defining the node it not only picked up 11i nodes but required me to configure R12 nodes. So Do I have to to create upgrade file system(for R12) and then configured R12 nodes in Define nodes? My configuration is in In configuration at this time as I did not configured R12 nodes.
    Please help me resolve this issue.

    My question is which database oracle_home we have to consider to upgrade R12? and What about another one oracle_home?
    When you run Rapid Install, provide the details of the already upgraded/installed 11.2.0.3 ORACLE_HOME.
    For 11gR1 ORACLE_HOME which is installed by Rapid Install, please see (How to upgrade Oracle E-Business Suite from 11i to 12.1.1 and keep the existing 10g Database? (Doc ID 1345020.1)).

  • Upgrade from 11i to R12 - Custom Forms,Reports and Workflows

    Dear Community Friends,
    We are planning for upgrade from oracle apps 11.5.10.2 to R12.
    We have custom Forms,Form Libraries,Reports and Workflows.
    Kindly provide me for approach on how to migrate Custom form libraries,reports and Workflows.
    I beleive, this thread will exists as one shot point for custom forms,reports,workflow upgradation from 11i to r12 with detailed steps.
    I know that many links exists here in the forum for all the above objects mentioned,but still from all those i am able to get a clear picture for oracle forms but not for custom form libraries ,reports and workflows.
    Also,this post will provide a low level,practical picture of the steps for those who are in line with this.
    Links i have read for all these in our forum are:
    For Custom Forms,
    Re: Planning to upgrade from 11i to R12
    Re: Custom forms: After upgrading 11i to R12
    ofcourse,'n' number of links exists providing metalink notes also.
    Hussain,Helios and some others also has given many updates regd this.
    For custom workflow upgradation,
    Upgrade Workflow 11i to R12
    Workflow Upgrade
    Workflow Upgrade
    For reports,links mentioned the below metalink notes:
    Do Not Compile EBS R12 Reports Using rwconverter.sh or Reports Builder from IDS 10gR2 [ID 786794.1]
    Using the OracleAS 10.1.2 Forms and Reports Builders with Oracle Applications Release 12 [ID 444248.1]
    Per my understanding, after searching in many threads,i am here by summarising the practical low level steps for custom forms migration
    Please correct me,if i am wrong.
    1) Download the Forms(.fmb's) and all PLL's(all the PLL from resource folder in AU_TOP) into a Local Machine Folder
    2) Open the forms using Forms Developer 10G and connect to DB
    3) Compile by clicking compilein Forms Developer and then save it.
    4) Upload the Saved Forms(.fmb's) into the new R12 server(system) in the respective custom paths(paths similar to 11i Server)
    5) Compile all the forms using the command like below(example command is shown below or f60 gen commands or frmcmp.sh utility) in the respective custom form paths,
    this will generate the .fmx's.
    frmcmp_batch module=FORMNAME.fmb userid=apps/apps output_file=FORMNAME.fmx compile_all=yes
    Link for compiling forms: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_afrLoop=359210362972527&type=DOCUMENT&id=1085928.1&displayIndex=3&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=c348xvwbg_98
    6) Open the form and check in R12 instance
    As per my understanding for custom form libraries,we can just copy paste the PLL's from 11i server to R12 server (Please correct me,if i am wrong)
    Can anyone please help me out in custom reports and custom workflows.Sorry that,i could not get a practical and clear picture for reports and also for workflow even after referring many threads and metalink notes mentioned.
    As for reports,some says that Developer Suite 10g can be used and .rdf can be used in R12.
    Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
    So,i am not clear on this.
    Thanks,

    So,i am not clear on this.You can still use RDF files in R12, and just follow the approach you mentioned above, and you do not have to migrate them to XML publisher (though it is recommended, but this can be done after the upgrade as an enhancement task).
    For custom workflow, you need also to do the same thing, open them using workflow builder and make sure they work in R12 (correct the code if required and save them again in R12 once they work properly).
    Thanks,

I just have a small connect about the CP, any reason you are keeping in on the DB node rather than the application tier (Node 1)? Rather than having the application tier filesystem on two nodes, it would be easier to move the CP to Node 1 and have one application tier file system node (assuming you have sufficient resources).

  • Upgrading 11i Payments to R12 Payments

    Hi All,
    We are now on Oracle EBS 11i [11.5.10.2] and Database 10g [10.2.0.4] now and we are planning to upgrade to R12.
    We want to upgrade the all payment formats and templates to R12.
    We have couple of questions..
    1) How can we upgrade the reports(payments sent to Banks) to R12?
    -- I know we need to use the e-text templates to achieve that, but my questions is , we have RDF files in R12 which fetches the data for us and have different RDF files for different layouts. So will it be the same case in R12 as well.
    2) I have heard about common data extract in R12, how do we get that, what all changes needs to be done for that to have common data extract for all the Layouts(Templates).
    Can you also please share if there is any document created to achieve this requirement.
    Thanks,
    S.

  • Upgrade 11i (11.5.10.2) to R12 (12.1.3)

    Hi all,
    I am starting to upgrade my EBS from 11.5.10.2 to 12.1.1 then to 12.1.3 on AIX 6.1 Operating System in Test instance. Any advise steps and recommendations.
    I've check the Doc: Oracle EBS Upgrade Guide Release 11i to 12.1.1 and I am facing below issue :
    1) Do we must to upgrade the DB to 11g as the Oracle desupport issue or want to reduce downtime?
    2) Do I need apply 11i.AD.I.7 and 11.ATG_PF.H.Rup7 patches first?
    3) And do I need to convert the application/DB to Multiple Organizations before upgrade? Any guideline?
    4) There is no any customization, how much downtime can you experience?
    The below is our system configurations :
    Server : AIX 6.1 (Test instance / Prod. instance) - Single node
    DB : 10.2.0.3.0 (non RAC)
    APPS : 11.5.10.2 (non multi-org) :
    - use Financial (GL, AP, AR, FA) only
    - The lastest applied patchsets:
    11i.ATG_PF.H CU2

    I believe the best approach would be:
    1. Migrate your existing database ONLY to the new servers.
    Using Oracle EBS with a Split Configuration Database Tier on 11gR2 (Doc ID 946413.1)
    Export/import notes on Applications 11i Database 11g (Doc ID 557738.1)
    New Source Databases Added for Transportable Tablespaces + EBS 11i

    2. Lay down R12 software on the new servers and Upgrade from 11i to R12:

  • Upgrade 11i ---------- R12 on laptop

    as i have dell studio 1545 with 4 GB ram , I can assign max 2.5 - 3 gb RAM for this vm ware workstation.
    Can i do EBS 11i installation on this and then upgrade this to R12 ?
    Is this possible and somebody have done it ?

    Can i do EBS 11i installation on this and then upgrade this to R12 ?
    Is this possible and somebody have done it ?For 11i, it would be enough but when you plan to upgrade to R12 you will find it slow and your patch workers may hang. Also when running R12 as you might notice a bad performance in the application. It is always recommended to have at least 4 GB only for Oracle E-Business Suite R12 (apart from the memory you dedicate to the OS).
