  • Release 5.2.2, 5.2.3, or 5.2.4
  • Release 5.3

  • Release 5.2.2, 5.2.3 or 5.2.4

  • Release 5.4

For other older TMS releases, a fresh installation of application tier technology stack (see Install and Configure the Oracle Application Tier), and TMS Front End and TMS Report Server (see Installing Oracle Thesaurus Management System Application Components) are required.

Oracle Database 19c (19.3.0.0) include many new features including multitenancy, which allows you to create one or more pluggable databases (PDBs) contained in a single root or container database (CDB). You can install Oracle Thesaurus Management System on either a pluggable database or a non-CDB database (as in 11g). For more information on multitenancy, see https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/19/multi/introduction-to-the-multitenant-architecture.html#GUID-267F7D12-D33F-4AC9-AA45-E9CD671B6F22.
