Go-live was done by renaming the production database. Secondary database is renamed to a temporary name, performed upgrade on temp database, after upgrade is complete, rename the team instance to upgraded PROD instance. Updated TNS entries to point all integrations to newly upgraded database and shut down old release PROD in read only mode for any future reference.
Successful Go Live & support transition as per schedule
