Release Automation

Hi, we are going to install RA 6.5. We need to know if Oracle 12c R2 is supported.

Thanks.

Hi Julio,

According to the documentation (found here: System Requirements - CA Release Automation - 6.5 - CA Technologies Documentation) it states the following support for 12c:

• • Oracle 12c support requires the following:

• • • If you use a container configuration of Oracle 12c, use the provided SID name and not the instance name. To determine the container configuration of your Oracle database, run the following query as a user with sysdba privileges: select cdb from v$database. A reply of YES indicates a container database. To find the container name and status, run the following query: select name, open_mode from v$containers.
    • You must apply the following Oracle patches, which are available from the Oracle support website:  
      • Linux: Patch 18430870
      • Windows: 
        • 12.1.0.1: Patch 18 (12.1.0.1.18)
        • 12.1.0.2: Patch 4 (12.1.0.2.4)

It looks like 12c R2 would be reflected by a release version of 12.2.x.x. So it doesn't appear that we officially certified that version (released May 2017 - RA 6.5 released August 2017). I'll send a note out to see if anyone might have asked about this and what the recommendation was. 

Kind regards,

Gregg

Hi , 

I checked this and at the moment we do not officially support RA with oracle R12c R2.

There is a user story for it to be included in a future release which is at the moment in RA 6.6.1 .

I would advice to raise a idea for it so product management is aware of this request .
