Description:-
- In this article we are going to upgrade the oracle 18c cloud database from 18.1 to 18.2
- Oracle release the first Update (RU) 18.2.0 on April 2018.
- Creating a Free Account In Oracle Cloud Here
- Creating an Oracle 18c Database Cloud Service Instance Here
Patch Information:-
- 18.2 Release update released on April18.
- Database Apr 2018 Release Update (DB RU) 18.2.0.0.180417 (Doc ID 27676517.8)
Prerequisites:-
- 18c Cloud Database Creation
- Check the Opatch utility version.
- You must have the Opatch utility version 12.2.0.1.13 or later version
- If not we need to upgrade the Opatch utility version to 12.2.0.1.13 .
- Which is available for download in My Oracle support Patch 6880880
Creating 18c database on Oracle Cloud
Step:1 18c Cloud Database Creation
Step 1: Log in to your Oracle Cloud services account, go to the Oracle Database Cloud Service page, and create a new service:- For Instance Name enter oracle18c.
– From the Software Release list, select Oracle Database 18c.
– From the Software Edition list, select Enterprise Edition.
– From the Database Type list, select Single Instance.Then click Next to continue.
Step 2: In the Service Details screen, do the following:- For DB Name (SID), enter oracle18c and PDB Name, enter PDB1.
– Set an administrative password of your choice and confirm the password (this will be your sys password).
– For Usable Database Storage (GB), enter 25.
– From the Compute Shape list, select OC3 -1.0 OCPU, 7.5 GB RAM (this is the bare minimum required).
– For SSH Public Key, enter publickey.
Step 3: Finally, review the configuration and click Create to create your cloud database.
After a few minutes, the cloud database instance has been created successfully.
Connect to the Cloud Database
- We need to generate a public key and private key to use cloud instance.
- Open an instance of the PuTTY executable and connect to the Oracle Database Cloud Service compute node using an SSH public key.
Step:2 Check the Opatch utility version
[oracle@orcl18c ~]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch
[oracle@orcl18c OPatch]$ ./opatch version
OPatch Version: 12.2.0.1.11
OPatch succeeded.
Step:3 upgrade the Opatch utility version
[oracle@orcl18c ~]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch
[oracle@orcl18c OPatch]$
[oracle@orcl18c OPatch]$ ./opatch version
OPatch Version: 12.2.0.1.13
OPatch succeeded.
Installation:-
- Patch Pre-Installation
- Patch Installation
- Patch Post-installation
Patch pre-Installation:-
Step:-1 Environment checks
[oracle@test18c ~]$ export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
[oracle@test18c ~]$ opatch version
OPatch Version: 12.2.0.1.13
OPatch succeeded.
Step:-2 Check database version
[oracle@orcl18c ~]$ sqlplus ‘/as sysdba’

Patch Installation:-
• It is not Rac database so we need to shutdown the databases and listeners associated with Oracle home.
Step:-1 Stop the CDB & PDB database and listener
