What is the easiest way to install Primavera with an 18.8.17 database?
I have a Primavera database at version 18.8.17 and I want to install Primavera and use it. The installer wants a database to which it can connect and use before it installs anything. There's only one installer from Oracle which does version 18.8.0 and a patch to upgrade to 18.8.17. I can't use the database so I can't install Primavera 18.8.0. I can't patch until I have an installation of 18.8.0.
I contacted Oracle support who said I'd have to initialize another database and upgrade it while I upgrade the installation. When done, I would run adminpv to add the database and remove the old. This seems unnecessary. Is there an easier way?
