Questions and Answers from the Advisor Webcast: PeopleSoft - Embracing the Oracle Cloud held on Marc
Q1: non-unicode dbs cannot be lifted ?
A1: Non-Unicode databases cannot be lifted using Cloud Manager's lift utility at this point. But you can still do a manual lift. Development is aware that customers would like to see the automation include non-unicode and it is in the cloud manager roadmap.
Q2: can we run only Oracle databases on the Oracle cloud? How about DB2?
A2: Cloud Manager only supports Oracle databases, however, you can manually provision a supported version of DB2 or sqlserver instance in the Oracle Cloud if you so desire, but you would not have access to Cloud Manager features for your DB2 environments.
