## Intro

I am currently working on a project to install Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Release 13.3 and was looking for a more simplified method to create a 12.2 database with all the required components. I was excited to find: [Creating a Database Instance with Preconfigured Repository Using Database Templates](https://docs.oracle.com/cd/cloud-control-13.3/EMBSC/GUID-AD704CBD-0C7B-43E6-B413-A87A95FA2722.htm#EMBSC242) Templates can be downloaded at: [Database Template (with EM 13.3.0.0 repository pre-configured) for Installing Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13c Release 3 (13.3.0.0)](https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/enterprise-manager/downloads/dbtemplates-5043300.html) I was disappointed to find the template is only available for 12.1.0.2.0 DB and 18.1.0.0.0 DB.  

## **Creating a database instance **

Creating a database instance with preconfigured repository using database templates caution

```
Make sure that the 18.1.0.0.0_Database_Template_for_EM13_3_0_0_0_.zip file is used only for Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13c Release 3.
 
```

 It looks like the template version must exactly match the example below.

```
EM 13c: Creating an Enterprise Manager 13c Cloud Control Repository using a Database Template Fails: ORA-00603: ORACLE server session terminated by fatal error (Doc ID 2291220.1) 
 
 While the 12.2.0.1 version of the database is supported for EM 13.2 repository use, a database template for the EM 13.2 repository database is only supplied for the 12.1.0.2 version of the database, and they are specific for the version:
```

## Summary

Oracle skipped 12.2 DB version when creating DB template which is disappointing. In conclusion, gathering details and planning requirements accordingly may simplify the installation process.
