Oracle 12c is a different animal than 11g. New multi-tenancy features designed to better manage workloads across multiple servers introduce the concepts of containerization, and new methods of organization.
I ran an installation of CCC on Oracle 12c (12.1.0.1.0) running on Windows 2012. The installation worked just fine, but required the following changes to our installation procedure:
- Common user requires prefix of C## by default. This does not seem to cause any issue to the installer, or to the startup of DM or CCC
- A default quota limit of zero is applied to the user, which need to be changed:
- ALTER USER C##CCCUSER quota unlimited on CCCUSER_TBL;
- ALTER USER C##CCCUSER quota unlimited on CCCUSER_IDX;
Note - this isn't a full set of test cases, but it does indicate that supporting Oracle 12c should not pose any major challenges.
