Database Reference
In-Depth Information
Execute the steps explained in the document “Using Oracle 11g Release 2 Real Application Clusters and
Automatic Storage Management with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2 (Doc ID 1453213.1)” to convert the
database to RAC and migrate to ASM. Listing 11-19 shows the XML file that I prepared as input into those steps.

The process will take a while to complete, because the data files need to be copied to ASM. Once completed, the
database will be started and the required CRS resources will be registered.
The e-Business Suite configuration for RAC is still missing at this time, so it has to be prepared. The steps are
outlined in the same document (1453213.1), but I find the document hard to follow because it tries to explain multiple
options on how e-Business Suite can be configured on RAC at the same time. You need a configuration that uses
srvctl
to manage the database and the custom user-created listener, and the e-Business Suite needs to be aware of
the SCAN listener. Following are the verified steps for this particular configuration.
