I have not posted any thoughts
recently because I am working on an amazing migration to the Cloud project and
I spend most of my time there. However, recently I got in a situation which
reminded me of a discussion that I had a few months ago in OTN. The discussion
was related with issues that users had with loading APP files in their upgraded
applications.
In my case, we were working on
upgrading the applications from 11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.4. We followed the process
suggested by Oracle and we upgraded 11.1.2.1 to 11.1.2.3 and then moved the
applications to 11.1.2.4. When I started testing the upgraded applications I
found that in one out of the three applications it was not possible to extract
and reload the extracted metadata without corrupting the application.
