JIRA/Confluence Upgrade

[Navadeep M]

Hello all,

We are planning for JIRA/Confluence Migration and upgrade.

Confluence and JIRA are using Postgres 8.4.20 database currently.

We are moving from Postgres to ORACLE now for both the applications.

JIRA Current version[6.3.12] , Confluence[5.6]

As per the information from atlassian, we need to go to Oracle 11G(11.1,11.2) and then to Oracle 12C.

Which Edition of Oracle we need to choose there ? "Is it Oracle Standard Edition" or "Oracle Enterprise Edition" ?

Thanks

Nav

Enterprise and Standard are fine, the Express edition is not recommended as it has some limitations built in.

Thank you Ann. Also, are there any patches that need to be installed before setting up the DB Server. Our Oracle DBA was asking for the Patching information on the DB Server. Please suggest

[AnnWorley]

We don't have any patch recommendations for Oracle. If the server is stable and other databases on the instance are performing as expected, Oracle should not present any issues. With Oracle especially, we like to leave as much as possible to the DBA in charge of the database because Oracle administration is so specialized.
