ANNOUNCEMENT: Incremental Backup for E-Business Suite R12 Cross Platform Migration to Oracle Cloud i
As a follow up to a previous announcement on the certification of cross platform migration to Oracle Cloud, the use of cross platform incremental backup is now certified for Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 (12.1.3) and 12.2 (12.2.3 or higher) with Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0).
Incremental backup is a feature that allows further minimization of downtime when performing a cross platform database migration - an initial backup of tablespaces is migrated and converted, subsequent incremental backups in a roll forward phase are then performed, followed by a final transport phase to the target platform to complete the database migration. Downtime is required only for this final phase and for any metadata that needs to be migrated with export/import.
