Why people usually don't upgrade?

"You need to upgrade
now as your release is
out of Premier Support
already!!!"
"Upgrading just
costs a lot!"
"I don't see any benefits by

upgrading to a newer release"
"I'm happy with the
features of Oracle 8i"
"It will just introduce
new bugs and issues"
"We'll wait for the 2nd release"

"Application is
not certified"
When will
Oracle Database 12.2

be released?
Are you one of the usual suspects always waiting
for the 2nd release only?

10
Database Product Roadmap
Release Schedule of Current Database Releases:

MOS Note.742060.1
Be smart
and transform
"We'll go live with the

2nd release only"
into
"We'll go live with the

first patch set only"
11
Why you need to change your stragegy!
Every release is a full release
Every release will get

a significant number
of new features and
changes
Span between Releases in Months

Oracle 12.1 ==> 12.2
Oracle 11.2 ==> 12.1
Oracle 11.1 ==> 11.2
There's no such thing as

the 2nd release anymore!
Oracle 10.2 ==> 11.1

Oracle 10.1 ==> 10.2
Oracle 9.2 ==> 10.1

Oracle and SAP Certified in Oracle Database 12.1.0.2
SAP has already certified Oracle

12.1.0.2 as of March 31, 2015
For certified Oracle options see:

Are you maintaining a Zoo?
3 different OS families 7 different major Oracle releases

6 of 8 OS desupported 77 of 80 databases out of Support
15
Maintaining a Zoo is EXPENSIVE
Maintenance Costs
Upgrade/Migration Costs
16
Another example from the Real World
OS change
Application change
Client change
HW change
No upgrade done for ~17 years!!!
10-15 databases
Minimal Downtime between Oracle 7.3 and Oracle 11.2

17
Where's Oracle Database 12.1.0.2 Standard Edition ?
Oracle Database 12c - Availability
MOS Note: 1905806.1

Oracle Database 12c Release 1 Patchset 1
(12.1.0.2) is being released only as
Enterprise Edition at this time
18
Are you live already on Oracle Database 12c?

Not yet ...?
19
At DVAG we do thorough testing in a 3-step
approach for our critical environments.

The decision to upgrade directly to Oracle
Database 12c skipping the terminal patch set of
the previous database release was taken in order
to save us one complete testing cycle, and
furthermore the accompanying costs as well"
