System Requirements
CPU Requirements
The size of the database
The amount of data in the primary product installation group
The number and duration of long-running processes associated with
products in this release
Memory Requirements
Number of concurrent users
Infrastructure requirements for multi-tiered architecture

Database Size
Consider the products.
Number of languages being installed.
And changes in the data model.

Tablespace Model
R12 uses the Oracle Applications Tablespace Model (OATM)
OATM uses 12 locally managed Tablespace for all products
including
Temporary tablespace
System tablespace
System-managed undo (SMU) tablespace.
Extent Size
For Small systems (upto 100GB) 128k
For Multi Tera byte systems 4-10MB
Scheduling Time for an Upgrade
Reducing Upgrade Downtime
Performing certain product-specific tasks before
Use Cloning methodology and a test file system to upgrade production
system.
Backup
Strongly recommended to take backup of entire System

Change the following initialization parameters as specified below
for upgrade process. Once the upgrade process completes, reset
the parameters back.
db_file_multiblock_read_count
Remove this parameter. (this is not required).
_db_file_optimizer_read_count = 8
(default setting is 8. Keep default setting).
job_queue_processes
(set the value of this parameters equal to number of CPUs).
parallel_max_servers
(set the value of this parameters equal to twice the number of CPUs).
Cont..
pga_aggregate_target
For 11g
_pga_max_size=104857600 (restart the database after changing it)

Temporary Tablespace
Drop the existing TEMP tablespace
Create a New TEMP tablespace as a locally managed tablespace
with uniform allocation size.
Verify using following query

select CONTENTS,EXTENT_MANAGEMENT,ALLOCATION_TYPE from
dba_tablespaceswhere tablespace_name='TEMP';
Select the path to upgrade
