AutoUpgrade and OracleServiceAutoUpgradeSid
The ability to use the Microsoft Windows service
OracleServiceAutoUpgradeSid
for patching and upgrading is
deprected.
In previous releases, while it was not documented, it was possible to create the
Microsoft Windows service OracleServiceAutoUpgradeSid
for patching and
upgrading. This capability will be removed. In future releases, AutoUpgrade will only
support the creation of Microsoft Windows services for Oracle that require passwords to
use the AutoUpgrade load_win_credential
parameter. When this parameter
is used, AutoUpgrade will then be able to create Oracle Services with the correct
password in a secure manner, and provide a seamless operation for database
administrators.
