About migrating the application server

You can migrate to this release from Oracle Central Designer 2.1.2.x, 6.2.x, or 6.3.x.

Note:

If you are using Oracle Central Designer 2.0.5.1 or 2.1.1.x, you must first upgrade to Oracle Central Designer 2.1.2 before migrating to Oracle Central Designer 7.0.

When you migrate, you must:

• Create a new Oracle 19c database and migrate to it. For more information, see your Oracle database software documentation.

  Note:

  If you are migrating from Oracle Central Designer 6.3.2 you can use your existing Oracle 19c database. For more information on required patches, see the Oracle Central Designer System Requirements guide.
• Provide the database and user parameters that you entered when you created the new database and database user.

Time considerations

Because the migration updates every study in the database, migrating from an earlier release could take some time, so plan the upgrade carefully. For example, Oracle expects that migrating a database with 150 studies could take 10 - 15 hours or longer.
