Oracle database

Important

  • Since Oracle 12c has been terminated, BMC Database Automation only supports Oracle 19c and Oracle 21c. We recommend that you upgrade to Oracle 21c or Oracle 19c for continued use.
  • Single instance (Restart-enabled) DBMS is supported on Oracle Solaris 10 and 11, and IBM AIX 7.1.
