Oracle Database Upgrade from 11g to 12c
I have to upgrade Oracle database 11g to 12c RAC instance on windows. OS will also be completely removed and reinstalled with newer version.
Therefore I found logical backup & restore (impdp / expdp) most suitable in my case.
Before this actual upgrade, I would like to TEST the performance and load captured from 11g and applied onto 12c test environment to understand any possibility of slow performance or service degradation in advance. I also want to know how I can avoid SQL execution plan to change after upgrade. Any other recommendation or areas to be more careful about or need special intension is highly appreciated.
