If you are using two or more Oracle Fusion Middleware products of the same or different versions in a single, supported, Oracle Fusion Middleware configuration, you must consider the interoperability and compatibility factors before planning the upgrade.
Upgrading the Oracle GoldenGate Studio to 12c
Oracle GoldenGate Studio is a standalone product and 12c 12.2.1.0 is the first release. You can upgrade to Oracle GoldenGate Studio 12c (12.2.1.3.0) from the previous Oracle GoldenGate Studio 12c release.
Upgrading to Oracle GoldenGate Studio from 12.2.1.0 to 12.2.1.3.0 is an in-place upgrade performed by the Upgrade Assistant. You have to install the 12.2.1.3.0 product distribution in a new Oracle home, and then use the Upgrade Assistant to upgrade the 12.2.1.0 schemas and the security metadata. Oracle GoldenGate Studio 12.2.1.3.0 requires an upgraded repository; it does not work when you use the 12.2.1.0 repository.
Note:
The existing 12.2.1.0 production environment is not affected by the upgrade process.Parent topic: Introduction to Oracle GoldenGate Studio Upgrade
About Upgrade Restrictions
If you are using two or more Oracle Fusion Middleware products of the same or different versions in a single, supported, Oracle Fusion Middleware configuration, you must consider the interoperability and compatibility factors before planning the upgrade.
Interoperability
In the context of Oracle Fusion Middleware products, interoperability is defined as the ability of two Oracle Fusion Middleware products or components of the same version (or release) to work together (interoperate) in a supported Oracle Fusion Middleware configuration. Specifically, interoperability applies when the first 4 digits of the release or version number are the same. For example, Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c (12.2.1.0) components are generally interoperable with other 12c (12.2.1.3.0) components.
Compatibility
In the context of Oracle Fusion Middleware products, compatibility is defined as the ability of two Oracle Fusion Middleware components of different versions (or releases) to interoperate.
For a list of products and features available in Oracle Fusion Middleware Release 12.2.1.3.0, see Products and Features Available in Oracle Fusion Middleware in Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Interoperability and Compatibility.
