If you are upgrading a client using Oracle and do not have the required Oracle Client software release and patch set installed on it, install or upgrade it before you upgrade the Contenta software.

About this task

Procedure

  1. Follow the instructions provided by Oracle to upgrade the Oracle Client software and install the appropriate Oracle patches on the Contenta Clients that are required for this SDL Contenta release.
    See the Platform Requirements document for information about the system requirements. Perform the upgrade as the administrator user.
  2. After the Oracle Client is installed, use the Net8 Assistant to verify that a service entry exists for Oracle.

  3. Restart the Oracle Server system.
    After you upgrade Oracle Server and Client, test Oracle connectivity before continuing.
