For Example: A test upgrade of the largest Oracle production system (oraprod) used the following CPUs: • Database tier machine - 24 CPUs (900 MHz SUNW, UltraSPARC-III+) • Application tier machine - 4 CPUs (3.05 GHz Intel Xeon) A test upgrade of the Vision database and application tier machine used 4 CPUs (3.05 GHz Intel Xeon). Note: See E-Business Suite Release 12 Upgrade Sizing and Best Practices (Doc ID: 399362.1) for the statistics on these production system upgrades. Memory To calculate the memory requirements for an upgrade, consider the following: • Number of concurrent users • Infrastructure requirements for multi-tiered architecture For Example A test upgrade of the largest Oracle production system (oraprod) used the following: • Database tier machine - 48 GB of memory
To estimate the increase in required disk space for upgrading, consider the products, the number of languages being installed, and changes in the data model For Example In a test upgrade of the largest Oracle production system (oraprod), the database increased 10-20 percent. In a test upgrade, the Vision database increased 5 percent. For guidelines based on an upgrade of the Oracle production system (oraprod), see E-Business Suite Release 12 Upgrade Sizing and Best Practices (Doc ID: 399362.1).
This release uses the Oracle Applications Tablespace Model (OATM), which is based on database object type rather than product affiliation. OATM uses 12 locally managed tablespaces for all products, including the temporary tablespace, system tablespace, and system-managed undo (SMU) tablespace. Each database object is mapped to a tablespace based on its input/output characteristics, including object size, life span, access methods, and locking granularity. Oracle has successfully tested systems with extent sizes of 128 K for small systems (100 GB database) and 4-10 MB for large, multi-terabyte database systems. We supply scripts in the upgrade process to create the tablespaces for all new products and configure the database for the new tablespace model. Then, the upgrade process creates the new objects. However, your existing objects are not automatically migrated. We strongly recommend that you migrate the existing objects after the upgrade is complete. Use the Tablespace Migration Utility (introduced in Release 11i) to perform this task

The TUMS report lists tasks that you can omit from the upgrade because they do not apply to your system (for example, a task required for a product that you do not use or for applying a patch that you have previously applied). TUMS is delivered in a patch, which supplies the scripts you need to examine your system and create the report. We strongly recommend you create and review the TUMS report before you begin the upgrade
Set the schema name to ALL to gather statistics for all Oracle Applications schemas (having an entry in the FND_PRODUCT_INSTALLATIONS table). In addition to gathering index and table-level statistics, the program gathers column-level histogram statistics for all columns listed in the FND_HISTOGRAM_COLS table. Step 3 :Use the Rapid Install wizard to lay down the file system and install the new technology stack for your Release 12.1.1 Oracle Applications system. The wizard collects configuration parameters and stores them in a configuration file (config.txt) in the Applications file system. When you run Rapid Install, it uses these values to lay down the file system structure and technology stack components for your configuration. As it runs, it creates a context file (<CONTEXT_NAME>.xml) that contains all the parameters that describe your system. This context file is created and managed by AutoConfig.
