Calendar

11.00 a.m. - 12.30 p.m. (CEST)

Oracle Database 19c is a milestone in Oracle’s transition to a more agile release strategy. As the first Long Term Support release, Oracle 19c is ‘the’ release to upgrade your databases to leverage the latest features and get the most out of premier and extended support.

This interactive 90 minute session, we will cover the AutoUpgrade tool. AutoUpgrade, as the name implies, enables Administrators to automatically upgrade one, or many databases in a repeatable and controllable manner. You will be guided through how to build a control file – and then showed how to kick off the upgrade process.

Facilitators will also share AutoUpgrade tips and tricks, alternative upgrade methods and most importantly, fallback & failure planning. As with any major technology upgrade, a fallback plan is a vital and reduces risk.
Finally, we will talk about customers successfully using the AutoUpgrade tool today to automate their move to Oracle 19c regardless of the platform – On-Prem, Exadata, Oracle Cloud and anywhere in between. 

Topics that will be covered during this session:
  • Discover the power of the new AutoUpgrade tool
  • Database Upgrade Tips and Tricks
  • What if something goes wrong?
  •  AutoUpgrade in action (demonstration)
