Hi
My existing production LIVE is oracle 11.2.0.3 on windows server 2008(server A)
To be new LIVE is 12.2.0.1 on windows server 2012(server B)
In server, I installed the oracle 12.2.0.1 software only-did not use the create and configure database option this time but I usually always use that before.(Also have not created the database using DBCA yet
as I am not sure if this needs to be done first) and because I wish to use RMAN to copy the 11g database from existing server to this new server. Does the database creation using DBCA needs to be done on the 12c database first, before doing (backup of RMAN on serverA+ restore on serverBt +perform upgrade script on serverB)?
Have always used the datapump (impdp/expdp) before for upgrading oracle version to a new server but now want to document the RMAN upgrade procedure from 11g to 12c and want to try that method instead .
Looking for help in getting the correct links containing required steps or explain in detail ?I have been reading different documentation but not seeing one with the full detail.
Please kindly guide?
Thanks a lot
Aviana
