This project is to upgrade the existing Oracle database owned by the University Web Site Team, POLO, from Oracle 9.2 to 10.2.
The current version of the Oracle POLO DEV, TEST and LIVE databases is 9.2. Oracle 9.2 is past its Extended Support date. The three POLO databases should be upgraded to lower the cost to the University, to mitigate security issues and to enable the business owner to take advantage of new features which IS have currently implemented (SOA) and which IS will implement in the future.
The POLO Oracle 9.2 databases (in DEV, TEST and LIVE) will therefore be upgraded to Oracle 10.2, the latest version which Polopoly state that the current version of Polopoly (9.16.1) is confirmed to work with. Accordingly no upgrade to the Polopoly CMS will be undertaken and the database upgrade is not expected to affect current functionality or performance of either the editing and updating of web pages or of the serving of university web site pages.
