Upgrade to EBS 12.2

Hi
I read the V39664-01.ZIP files for upgrade from EBS 12.1 to 12.2
but i couldn't find any patch to do upgrade process
i think 12.2 only is for standalone installation.
is it correct?
if no please help me know document id for upgrade path.
Thanks

1. in physical connections part can i use the same work schema
2. Can i use same contexts created or do i need to create everything as new and then try?
Thanks,
Rp.
Hi,
As you mentioned that you just upgraded the database, so the data is same and schema is same you can connect with the same work schema.
Yes, you can use the same contexts , but need to do Reverse Engineering for your new database.
And about data server, i think you also have no need to create new data server, if hostname,sid and port etc are same as these were with R11(consult with your DBAs regarding it)

Document for Out of Place Upgrade of ebs database

Hi,
Can someone point out to me a document which gives steps for out of place upgrade of ebs 12.1.3 database from 11.1.0 to 11.2.0.3 ? I tried it myself and it went well but I am still not sure whether something is still missing because there are still 346 invalid objects in the db. Here are the steps I have followed:
On the source:
   Run adpreclone
2.       Run utlu112i.sql (copy it from the 11.2.0 home)
          Act on the recommendations of utlu112i.sql.
          Backup the source db and the apps folder
          Copy the backup to the target server.
6.       Copy pfile.
7.
On the target:
     install the 11.2.0.3 software
     apply required patches
             Restore and recover the database.
             run catupgrd.sql
             run catuppst.sql;
             run utlrp.sql;
             run dbupgdiag.sql
             run adconfig.sh contextfile=<contextfile> at db tier.
             Shut down listener and database and restart to load the new env.
             restored apps folder (backup of source)
             run adcfgclone.pl appsTier
             run autoconfig.
          Regards,
          Vinod

Hi Vinod,
Please find some out of place upgrade links:
UPGRADE 11.1.0.7 DATABASE TO 11.2.0.3 DATABASE WITH R12.1.3
Please also see the forum as it is been discussed several times.
BTW, with respect to your invalid objects did you try recompiling the objects using:
1. adadmin > Compile apps schema
2. connected as sysdba > run @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql
Best Regards

How to Upgrade AR tables whith Huge amount of Datas ( > 50 Millions Rows ) ?

Hi,
Dont worry, you are not the only one even we have one customer whose AR_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL table is 80 GB now and i can even do select count(*) for this table.
We had to keep this much data for business requirements, but i wonder if this is a bug or users mistake.
Due to this we are facing seruios performance issues for AR reports and raised SRs but no resolution yet. And this guy who is assigned to us is reall ynot been helpful to fix the issue.
Although we did not upgrade for this customer, but we migrated from 11.5.9 to R12.1.1 by re-implementation. But all these increasing size of these tables happened after migration.
And i believe most of the time in your upgrade is going to building the indexes. You can ask Oracle if they can edit the driver file to skip building the indxes and rebuild them after upgrade. But again it will also take time.
Another option for you is to "Archive and Purge the data" as per chapter 10 of
11i Receivables user guide.

Do we need to re-create data load rules if we upgrade from EBS 11 to 12?

If so, please explain the reason. Thanks.

If you upgrade from EBS 11 to EBS 12 you would need to create a new source system registration in ERPi.
Once the new source system is created, you would then need to initalize the source system in ERPi.
From there you would need to associate it with an import format and locations in ERPI and your data load rules are then based on the location.

How to compile invalid object after 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.5 upgrade in EBS R12

Hi,
We have total 31000 invalid object after 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.5 upgrade in EBS R12. How we compile these objects?

Ashish,
if you are seeing PLS-00801: internal error [1041] when trying to compile a package that is invalid, you may need to run utlirp.sql against the instance and then the utlrp.sql script. You need to pay attention to the manner in which you run these scripts. To run the utlirp.sql script you need to:
shutdown the instance
restart instance in upgrade mode
startup upgrade
run the utlirp.sql script @utlirp or @?/rdbms/admin/utlirp
shutdown the instance and restart normally
run utlrp.sql @utlrp or @?/rdbms/admin/utlrp
If you are running an auto-config instance, you can source the db environment, optionally switch to the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin folder and shutdown the instance:
sqlplus 'as /sysdba'
shutdown immediate
startup upgrade;
@utilrp
shutdown
startup
@utlrp
After compiling everything, I would shutdown the instance using the ./addbctl stop script and then restart it. As stated elsewhere, it can take time to compile the invalids--many hours in some cases. The utlirp.sql script may run for quite awhile before it completes since it is invalidating objects.
Please make sure you read up on utlirp.sql and PLS-00801 if that's what you are encountering.

DB Performance Issues after 10g Upgrade in EBS Instance

We have upgraded our Database from 9i to 10g as first part of EBS 11.5.9 to 11.5.10.2 upgrade. Currently our production is running on 11.5.9 apps with 10g DB.
Facing performance problems now. one of the them is, one Valueset query not using funcion based index while fired from the front end. but the same query when collected from SQL trace tkprofed file and executed from SQL Plus, it uses all proper indexes. We are not getting the cause of this.
Had anyone faced same kind of issues before. please suggest.
thanks,
Raj.

Make sure you have all of the recommended performance patches for 11.5.9, and gather stats for SYS and SYSTEM in the following manner:

OBIEE 11G Implemented - Upgrading Oracle EBS 11g to R12

We have OBIEE 11G implemented and are currently sourcing the data from Oracle EBS 11g. We are upgrading our source database to R12 and need to know the impact on our Informatica mappings. Can anyone point me to some documentation, or have leave some helpful hints on how to proceed with this project. Thanks.

Hello,
I assume you are using BI APPS, there shouldn't be any impact on informatica mappings. Informatica comes with prebuit adapters for EBS 12 version, you need to use ORAR12 adapter.

Upgrade to EBS R12 - is it stable? are there many R12 customers? etc....

At Collaborate-07 in Las Vegas in April, I personally got many questions about the R12 stability, quality, support and if there are already other customers who have implemented it. I promised I get back to you and here I am with these slides that addresses many of these concerns:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/applications/ebs/ebs-r12.ppt
As Steven Chan highlighted earlier, I am not an upgrade specialist myself but will help with what I can find out (together with Steven, I will be monitoring this forum and see where help is needed from Oracle internally). But we would love to hear from you, about your experiences, some the metrics, such as sizing, that you identified and honestly, with anything that can help us to help you.

I apologize if I'm misinterpreting your question, but if you really are looking at a re-implementation rather than just an upgrade, I'd say that going to R12 is almost a no-brainer. Might as well get that much further ahead of the desupport curve. Of course, that's pretty easy for me to say, since I don't know your organization's tolerance for risk, or the timing requirements of your re-implementation project. :-)
Thus far, in our upgrade (11.5.10.2->12.0) testing, we haven't seen a whole lot of technical issues; most of our questions/problems seem to be on the functional side (and unfortunately I can't speak to those in great detail at the moment). How much of that stems from conversion of crufty data from our 11i instance, how much from us still being on the "new R12 features" learning curve, and how much from genuine problems with the apps themselves, it's hard to tell. Probably an ample serving of all three...it's still early days for us. :-)
The best way to make a decision, though, is to give it a test drive. I'd suggest running a clone of your 11.5.9 instance through the upgrade process, even if that's not how you'd ultimately plan to deploy R12...that way, you'll have your own data to play with, instead of fictional "Vision" data. Have some of your more forgiving/high-functioning users review the new version and features with you, and see what you like and don't like. Even if you ultimately decide that you don't want to make the leap to R12 now, you might see some things that will enable you to make decisions about how you structure your data (with respect to TCA, etc) in an 11.5.10 re-implementation that will benefit your later, inevitable upgrade to R12.

Out of place upgrade of ebs 12.1.3 database

Hi,
I am trying out of place upgrade from 11.1.0 to 11.2.0 of my ebs database. The OS is RHEL. So far I have done as follows:
un utlu112i.sql on the source (copy it from the 11.2.0 home)
Act on the recommendations of utlu112i.sql.
Take rman backup of the source db.
Copy the backup to the target server.
Copy pfile.
Copy passwordfile if it is there on the source.
On the target
Edit the pfile.
Restore controlfile.
Restore and recover the database.
Mount the database.
Spool upgrade_info.log
Alter database open resetlogs upgrade;
Drop old tempfiles and create new ones.
Set echo on
@?/rdbms/admin/catupgrd.sql
Check the log files for any errors.
@$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catuppst.sql;
Check for any errors
@$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql;
$ sqlplus / as sysdba
sql> alter session set nls_language='American';
sql> @dbupgdiag.sql
sql> exit
run adconfig.sh contextfile=<contextfile> at db tier.
Shut down listener and database and restart to load the new env.
Removed apps folder and copied source apps folder.
Removed inst folder contents.
Now I am not sure about the next step. Any suggestions?

APPS Schema Name [APPS]:
APPS Schema Password:apps
The following context files are available:
[1] TEST_ebistestsvr (APPL_TOP Context)
[2] TEST_ebistestsvr (Database Context)
Here you would select, option no.1
I would suggest you do the following.
Assuming there are no patches and no binary changes done on the Source instance.
1. Run a preclone on Apps Tier
2. Copy the source $COMMON_TOP/clone to target $COMMON_TOP/clone
3. Try retrieving the apps context file as suggested above.
Hope this works!

Thanks for your update. I have one more question
I have downloaded jdk6 update 38 for application java upgrade . but rt.jar is missing under jdk/jre/lib . how to get rt.jarFor the application server, make sure you download the 32-bit JDK, not the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Do not choose the 64-bit version, which is not supported.

Note: I would suggest you go with the latest update.
Thanks,
