LOL. I checked a couple of days ago when I updated my Vagrant build and 13.3 was still only certified on 18c. Looks like I've got some changes to make.

I'm a little cautious, but my advice would be.

  1. Upgrade 13.2 to 13.3 as is. Let that bed in for a while and be happy it is working. Our upgrade went fine, but recently when we pulled down the latest plugins (13.3.2 I think), we had a few things go funky and had to push out the agents again. I would say getting this settled first makes sense.
  2. Apply the latest quarterlies to your existing stuff (Database, WebLogic, Clould Control etc.). Make sure it's all bang up to date. Once again, check it's all good before you move on.
  3. Once you know 13.3 is working fine, then do the database upgrade to whatever version you like.

We use a simple installation on a VMware VM. We did the upgrade 13.2 to 13.3 a while ago. As I said, we've recently pulled down the latest plugins. We try to do the quarterlies every quarter anyway. I am soon to embark on the DB upgrade. This has been delayed a little because:

  1. I was waiting for 19c to be certified.
  2. I will need to move it all onto a new VM, as this is installed on OL6, and 19c is not supported on OL6, so we need a new OL7 VM to do the 19c bit.

Like I said, I am overly cautious with this as all our backups are scheduled from Cloud Control, so it's a real pain if it is down for too long. If you are more adventurous, go for it as a big bang. :)

Cheers

Tim...
