3.3 Upgrade to Oracle Database 11.2.0.4

To use Oracle LSH, you must use Oracle Database 19c.

If you have an existing Oracle Database, you must upgrade to Oracle Database 11.2.0.4 and perform the remaining tasks in this chapter before you can upgrade to Oracle Database 19.8 as described in Upgrade to Oracle Database 19c (19.8).

The Oracle Database 11.2.0.4 software is available as patch 13390677. (Oracle Applications Release 12.1.1 includes Oracle Database 11.1.0.7.)

Note:

• If a new Oracle Database patch set for 11gR2 is released in future, the article number 1058763.1 may be used for the new release. If the article applies to a newer release, it should display the new article number for the 11.2.0.4 Interoperability note. Do not install newer Oracle Database patch sets unless explicitly instructed by an Oracle LSH-specific note or alert on My Oracle Support.
• Be sure to install the Oracle Examples, which are included in the media pack and include Oracle Text. Oracle Text is required by Oracle Thesaurus Management System for the Oracle LSH classification system.
• Oracle recommends taking a full backup after the upgrade.
• To install a RAC database, refer to note 823587.1, Using Oracle 11g Release 2 Real Application Clusters with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.

If you need to upgrade to Oracle Database 11.2.0.4 before upgrading to Oracle Database 19.8, follow My Oracle Support document 1058763.1, Interoperability Notes EBS 12.0 and 12.1 with Database 11gR2. Then see the following sections in this chapter.
