What is Migration?

Patching Upgrade Migration

• Apply fixes within the same • Change from one Major • Move the Database
Release version Release to another • Old HW  New HW
• Quarterly Release Updates • 11.2.0.4  19.9 • AIX  Linux
(RUs) • 18.11  19.10 • On-premises  Cloud
• 18.11  18.12
• non-CDB to Multitenant
• 19.9  19.10

Data Center Relocation

• Move entire HW from one
place to another
