No.
You said you are planning to install EBS 12.2, and transfer your data , which is residing in older version of EBS to this new EBS 12.2, right?
By this approach, you also do a platform migration, because you probably, get the data from the old version of EBS and you still start using the new version (EBS 12.2)

So you will do a fresh EBS 12.2 installation on Linux and then your functional teams do the EBS setups, your developers will transfer the customizations (modify them according to the new release) and then you will transfer the data from your old versioned EBS (running on windows) to this new EBS 12.2 ( running on Linux)
So, your infra will be new and you will load the data to this new infra/application (EBS 12.2 in this case)

The process of this data transfer is done using APPS/EBS aware methods. Your developers and functional guys should check the new release and get the data from the old version accordingly.
In one of the cases, we did it using db links and APIs. We get the data from the old release using a db link, we transformed in using plsql(when needed) and loaded it with EBS APIs.

So, there may be other way which can be implemented in other cases as well. This is not an Apps DBA work bytheway.
