Some of the pre-requisites for a successful migration are:

1. Only a domain that is running 11.1.6 or 11.1.1.7 can be upgraded.
2. A 64 bit JVM should be in place and running for the existing environment.
3. The upgrade will fail if you are using Oracle XE database.
4. The database charset must be AL32UTF8.
5. The File Based Policy store is not supported. Migrate your domain to use either LDAP or Database OPSS Policy Store prior to migration.
6. You cannot upgrade a domain with multiple products in 12c in an un-clustered managed servers using UMS.
