Hi All,

I've just been reading the SAP Upgrade to Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2): UNIX guides and under section 2.1 Checking the Original Version of Your Database it states the following :-

If the source database runs Oracle 10.2 with patch set lower than 10.2.0.5, you need to first upgrade the source database to at least patch set 10.2.0.5.

But look at this

ORACLE PATCHES 10.2.0.5 (SUPPORT PACKAGES AND PATCHES)

IMPORTANT NOTE!

ORACLE 10.2.0.5.0 EXTENDED SUPPORT

If you want to download Oracle 10.2.0.5.0 patches, please see SAP Hot News Note 1654734 first. That note provides important information about the download policy valid during Oracle Extended Support.

So according to that note 1654734 - Ext Support contract required for 10.2.0.5 PSU, SBP & Client

Only customers with an extended contract may download and use the Oracle Bundle Patches for Oracle Version 10.2.0.5 provided by SAP.

At the very bottom of that note it states The alternative to the Oracle 10.2 Extended Support is the upgrade to Oracle Version 11.2. For further details, see Note 1398634.

So what gives, can I upgrade or not?  I'm confused as this contradicts the Upgrade Guide!

HELP!

Cheers

Craig

Sorry should have said we are running 10.2.0.4.0
