Hello @oramirez
if your company benefits from a support subscription, your question will be answered on our Service Desk there, in a timely manner.
About your question, generally speaking moving from one database to another (supported) one should not cause any data loss. But it will most probably trigger a serverID change, and you would therefore need a new license for your instance; your account representative will help you here (during office hours).
There will be very limited possibility to predict your new Server Id before you actually move to your new Oracle DB instance.

Two important advises for this move:

  • Make sure to test this move on a non production environment first, using a production data snapshot preferably
  • Make sure to have your production data safely backed-up at all time
