TruTek and the OAUG have partnered to provide you with a special upgrade guide, at a special price! Mike Swing’s the little r12.1.2 upgrade guide shows you how to upgrade a Vision instance from Release 11i to Release 12 of Oracle’s E-Business Suite of Applications.

Some of the best presentations at Collaborate 10 are “upgrade war stories”. Have you ever attended one of those, and thought, “If I could just take a peek at their project plan, it would make my upgrade go so much easier?” the little r12.1.2 upgrade guide allows you to do just that. Mike Swing has documented step by step everything that his R11i to R12 Technical Upgrade class goes through when they upgrade a Release 11i Vision Instance to the latest version of Release 12.

Topics include:

• A comparison of the R11i and R12 architectures
• A list of the 175+ patches that we apply to upgrade to Release 12.1.2 of the E-Business Suite with Version 11.2.0.1 of the RDBMS
• A list of the 100+ My Oracle Support Notes that we read through to decide how to successfully perform the upgrade
• Gotchas – Every time we hold a class, there’s a new opportunity to break the upgrade. We’ve included warnings of “what not to do” to avoid having to start over.
• The details for upgrading from RDBMS 9i to 10g to 11gR2, including modifications to initialization parameters
• Sections and Appendices that show how to use Oracle’s tools, including AD Merge Patch, Applying Database Patches with opatch, and Oracle Patch Application Assistant (admsi.pl)
• The intricacies of Critical Patch Collections (CPCs), Consolidated Upgrade Patches (CUPs), Critical Patch Updates (CPUs), Patch Set Updates (PSUs), TUMS, and OATM

Here's a review from one of our customers:

My name is Colin Jensen.  I work for the Regina Public School Board (www.rbe.sk.ca), based in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.  We have been an E-Business Suite customer since 1999.  We have approximately 250 self service users, and 20 core users.  The modules we use are: AP, AR, GL, 

I wanted to provide you with some comments on your books: "the little r12 upgrade guide" - the first one, which goes to R12.0.6, and the second one, which goes to R12.1.2. We upgraded our 11.5.9.2 to R12.1.1 in December, 2009, and went live Jan 1, 2010.  I purchased your first book at the Collaborate '09 conference.  We used this book as a guide to doing our upgrade.  The book was an invaluable tool for us for our upgrade.  It provides excellent step-by-step, detailed information on the upgrade process.  I think it would be a great asset to anyone who will be doing an Oracle E-Business Suite upgrade from 11i to R12. I also had a chance now to read the newer book, on the upgrade to R12.1.2.  It also is of the same quality as the first book.
