Migrate 12c DB to new server with 19c installed windows OS
We are migrating a single database oracle 12c to a new on-premise server with 19c Standard edition installed on Windows OS . We have no Data Guard or Golden Gate. Would like to get advise on the proper steps if anyone has done it.
The info I got from the web are basically below. Would appreciate if anyone who has migrated/upgraded from 12c to 19c on Windows can share the steps they performed.
- Execute Preupgrade script (preupgrd.sql)
- Take RMAN backup of 12c database
- Copy the RMAN backup to the new server with oracle 19c installed
- Create password file for the 19c database on new server
