Having clear understanding of deprecated and desupported features in a new release is equally important as knowing the new features of the release. In this short blog post, I would like to highlight the following features that are either deprecated or desupported in 12cR2.

 

Deprecated

  • config.shwill no longer be used for Grid configuration wizard, instead, the gridSetip.shis used in 12cR2;
  • Placement of OCR and Voting files directly on a shared filesystem is not deprecated;
  • The diagcollection.pl utility is deprecated in favor of Oracle Trace File Analyzer;

Desupported

  • You are no longer able to use Oracle Clusterware commands that are prefixed with crs_.
 

In my next blog post, will go over some of the important features Oracle Clusterware in 12cR2. Stay tuned.
