Database Upgrade to 10.2.0.4

Question

Using Windows 2003 64-bit, 10.2.0.3 Standard Edition.
I clone the database to a spare server, shut it down immediate, and stopped all Oracle services. I installed the 10.2.0.4 patchset into the original Oracle Home without a problem. I then ran the Database Upgrade Assistant and it ran through to completion. However, it did declare a series of errors when upgrading the 'Data Mining' component:
Error ignored: ORA-29831: operator binding not found ORA-06553: PLS-306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'SDO_FILTER'
...and others like it. The report at the end of the process is saying the Oracle Server component is 'Successful *' -and the asterisk links to a list of the errors that I clicked 'ignore' to during the process. The one for 'data mining' says 'Skipped'.
I don't think I mind the errors about Data Mining, because as far as I know, we don't use that (are we even allowed to on an SE license?) When I look in V$OPTION, for example, we get:
OLAP Window Functions TRUE
Block Media Recovery FALSE
Fine-grained Auditing FALSE
Application Role FALSE
Enterprise User Security FALSE
Oracle Data Guard FALSE
Oracle Label Security FALSE
OLAP FALSE
Table compression FALSE
Join index FALSE
Trial Recovery FALSE
Data Mining                                                      FALSE
Online Redefinition FALSE
Streams Capture FALSE
File Mapping FALSE
So my question is: did the upgrade work properly or not?! Should I mind that the errors appeared when upgrading a component that doesn't even exist, as far as I know? Is there some way of knowing that all is as it should be?
I have logged onto the database after the upgrade and all looks fine, with queries working as expected and so on. But I just have a nagging doubt...

Answer 1

SQL> SELECT owner, object_type, COUNT(*)
  2  FROM dba_objects
  3  WHERE status = 'INVALID'
  4  GROUP BY owner, object_type;
OWNER                          OBJECT_TYPE           COUNT(*)
MDSYS                          PACKAGE BODY                 1
ACC_GLOBAL                     PACKAGE BODY                 1The ACC_GLOBAL invalid is a known issue: I don't have the tnsnames.ora with the right alias for the resolution of a database link that package contains. MDSYS is not a schema we use, I think, and the package that's invalid is SDO_3GL which is the package I expected to be wrong as a result of the error messages received during the upgrade.
As for your second query:
COMP_NAME                                VERSION                        STATUS
Oracle interMedia                        10.2.0.4.0                     VALID
Oracle XML Database                      10.2.0.4.0                     VALID
Oracle Text                              10.2.0.4.0                     VALID
Oracle Data Mining                       10.2.0.3.0                     OPTION OFF
Oracle Expression Filter                 10.2.0.4.0                     VALID
Oracle Rule Manager                      10.2.0.4.0                     VALID
Oracle Workspace Manager                 10.2.0.4.3                     VALID
Oracle Database Catalog Views            10.2.0.4.0                     VALID
Oracle Database Packages and Types       10.2.0.4.0                     VALID
JServer JAVA Virtual Machine             10.2.0.4.0                     VALID
Oracle XDK                               10.2.0.4.0                     VALID
Oracle Database Java Packages            10.2.0.4.0                     VALIDDoesn't look a miserable failure to me, really. Data Mining doesn't look right, but we knew that already because of those error messages during the upgrade. Fact remains, we don't use it, it's not an option we've installed, etc etc.
