Upgrading an existing Oracle database

Follow the steps to upgrade an Oracle database to the latest InfoSphere® MDM version.

Before you begin

Before you begin, make sure that you read:

The information on gold data deletes and data upgrade scripts in the topic about upgrading the existing database for IBM® InfoSphere MDM Server. See the link at the end of this topic.
The notes on table spaces in the Manual installation of the physical MDM database topic in the InfoSphere MDM Standard and Advanced Editions installation documentation.

You have two options for upgrading your existing Oracle database:

Automatic upgrade - For the automatic upgrade, you run a madconfig target that finds and runs a set of individual database upgrade scripts delivered with the current release. The madconfig target runs the version-specific scripts in sequence until the database is full upgraded to the current version. For more information, see the link at the end of this topic.
Manual upgrade - For the manual upgrade, you run the individual version-specific scripts manually. For detailed steps, see the link at the end of this topic.
