|
Determine a 10.1.3.1.0 Topology to Install and Configure |
Before you install 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0), review your current 10g (9.0.4) or 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) environment and then review the 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) supported topologies. You can then determine what 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) install types to select and how to configure your new 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) environment. |

|
Install and Configure a New 10.1.3.1.0 Environment |
If you are upgrading from 10g (9.0.4) or 10g Release 2 (10.1.2), then the first step in the upgrade process is to install and configure a new 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) environment that matches as closely as possible your existing Oracle Application Server environment. Review the upgrade concepts to determine which installation types and topologies to use for the 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) environment. |
