Additional Patch R12 database upgrade

Hi,
I am upgrading my ebs db 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.3.
Please suggest the way to approach for additional patch ->13001379
a)I hv unziped patch
b)In README, -> Prerequisites -> 7. cp kutable.xsl rdbms/xml/xsl/.
As per the readme my understanding is - > I hv to copy the file from dir: /13001379/files/rdbms/xml/xsl/kutable.xsl to $ORACLE11g_HOME/rdbms/xml/xsl/ (file already here->update the file)
Then do -> opatch apply
Post step: Will happen during database upgrade
c)If I am wrong, please correct me.
Thanks,
Salim

Hi again,
I have a question about upgrading DB to 11gR2. Using DBUA, performed upgrade, and reached the point where I'm supposed to set Database Initialization Parameters (according to 396009.1). However, during the upgrade, I chose option "Do Not Move Database Files", and now I don't have initPROD.ora in my new $ORACLE_HOME/dbs. Which files should I copy from the old ORACLE_HOME? Which to edit? Any advice would do, thanks in advance.
MayloYou should have the init.ora file under the same directory. However, if the file is missing you can copy it from the old $ORACLE_HOME as mentioned above.
Please refer to these docs for setting those initialization parameters.

11.5.10.2 12.1.1 and 10g 11g database upgrade at same time

I have just started an 11.5.10.2 > 12.1.1 upgrade and have created a project in MWIZ 2.15 for it.
I would also like to upgrade the 10.2.0.2 database to 11.1.0.7 as part of the same upgrade and create an MWIZ project for that.
I have a couple of questions that the MWIZ FAQ does not address:
1. At what point in the 11.5.10.2 > 12.1.1 upgrade should I do the database upgrade?
MWIZ has two points when it can be done based on apps/database versions. One is at the end of the 'Prep for Upgrade' category and the other is during the 'Upg to Rel 12.1.1' category. The MWIZ step notes cover upgrading to the latest 10g or 11g patch version but not upgrading from 10g to 11g so I am unsure which category to go for.
2. When I create the database upgrade project which 'Destination Version' should I choose?
The two options are 'RDBMS 11.1 and E-Business Suite 11.5' and 'RDBMS 11.1 and E-Business Suite 12'.
As I haven't upgraded to R12 yet and am still at the pre-upgrade stage should I pick 11.5? Or should I go with R12 because I am upgrading Apps and the database at the same time?
Any help and advice gratefully received.
Thanks

Answer to above question not required now as:
Having read the 24th December update of note 761570.1 - 'Database Preparation Guidelines for an Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 Upgrade' I have decided to upgrade the database to 11.2.0.x by following the Path C option.
Unfortunately as the 11.2.0.x upgrade isn't covered by MWIZ yet I will have to follow the manual steps.

R12.1 upgrade from 11.5.10CU2 with 11g

Hi hsawwan,
I have some doubts about R12.1 upgrade process.
1. If i have 11.5.10.2 with 9.2.0.8 as database then can i upgrade to R12.1 using RapidWiz and during database upgrade screen, directly upgrade from 9.2.0.8 to 11.1.0.6 or 11.1.0.7 database?
2. If i have 11.5.10.2 with 11.1.0.7 as database then can i upgrade to R12.1 using RapidWiz or i have to do patchinf for it. Means to say that can i use RapidWiz for R12.1 upgrade from 11.5.10.2 with 11.1.0.7?
3. What will be the best practice to reduce downtimwe for R12.1 upgrade ?
Regards,
Manas Prakash Gupta

Hi hsawwan,
As pre-upgrade patching for 11.5.10.2 to R12.1 upgrade, i applied a patch 4582937 which is for PRE CONVERGENCE MIGRATION PATCH. There are some steps which are need to be performed after applying this patch. Below are the steps.
1) Perform the data mapping for org and warehouse migration through the UI available in OPM System Administration.
2) Run $GMA_TOP/patch/115/sql/GMAORGMG.sql as APPS user.
3) Review any errors generated in the Org Migration for the context "ORGANIZATION" and rerun GMAORGMG.sql after fixing the errors.
4) Run $GMA_TOP/patch/115/sql/GMAITSTP.sql as APPS user.
5) Review any errors generated in the Org Migration for the context "PRE_ITEM_MIG_SETUP" and rerun GMAITSTP.sql after fixing the errors.
6) Run $GMI_TOP/patch/115/sql/gmiitmin.sql as APPS user 7) Review any errors generated in the Org Migration for the context "ITEMS" and rerun gmiitmin.sql after fixing the errors.
I am not able to understand the first point (Perform the data mapping for org and warehouse migration through the UI available in OPM System Administration).
I logged into application and under OPM System Administration i didn't find anything related to mapping. Can you just tell me how to perform these steps (Specially the first one because in others we need to run scripts only).
Thanx,
Manas Prakash

Database Upgrade from 10.2.0.3.0 to 10.2.0.4.0 for a EBS 12 database

Hi,
Is there any specific procedure like interoperability for upgrading an R12 database from 10.2.0.3.0 to 10.2.0.4.0.
Currently I have plans to upgrade database from 10.2.0.3.0 to 10.2.0.4.0 and then
upgrade apps from 12.0.4 to 12.0.6. Also I need to install Arabic language on the instance.
What would be the best sequence to do this ?
Ram

hi,
you can use the oracle 10.2.0.4 patchset(downloadable from metalink) to upgrade your database to this version,
just follow the OUI in the patch set and select the migrating oracle home ...
before migrating it will ask you to stop all the oracle services , once it migrated then you need to use DBUA (DATABASE upgrade assistant ) to upgrade its components ..
then you can check all the component versions vis
select * from dba_registry;

Help needed in 10gR2 to 11gR2 EBS Database Upgrade

Hi,
I am upgrading EBS Database from 10gR2 (10.2.0.3) to 11gR2 11.2.0.3. While going through Oracle Note Complete Checklist for Manual Upgrades to 11gR2 [ID 837570.1], under the point 3 of "Recommendations from Source database" it says:
"Disable the custom triggers that would fire before/after DDL and enable them after the upgrade is complete."
I want to know is it compulsory to disable the custom triggers? If yes then how can I get the list of those custom triggers and disable/enable them before and after the database upgrade?
Please let me know the commands. My operating system is Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.8.
Thanks,
Abdul

Testing while doing the database upgrade from 9.2.0.6 to 11.2.0.2 apps ?

Dear Experts,
Please note that we are in process of doing database upgrade from 9.2.0.6 to 11.2.0.2 ?
We have gone through the interoperablity note id for 11i 11gr2 ?
Step 1
upgrading the database from 9.2.0.6 to 9.2.0.8 ?
Step 2-
Upgrading the Forms patchset to 19 ?
Step-3
Applying the Rollup-6 patch ?
Step -4
Upgrading the database from 9.2.0.8 to 11.2.0.2 ?
We would like to know whether after each step do we have to do any kind of testing on the Oracle Application Instance and the database?
Please advise.

Mohammed.

We would like to know whether after each step do we have to do any kind of testing on the Oracle Application Instance and the database?There is no such a list. However, you can refer to the documents referenced in each task above and it should cover if any testing need to be done or not (for example, the Developer Patchset doc). For the rest of the docs you will have to do your regular testing (test the application/database and make sure it is working properly).
Also, make sure you review (Known issues on Top of 11i.ATG_PF.H. delta.6 (RUP6) - 5903765 [ID 459353.1]).

Database Upgrade 10.1.0.4 to 10.2.0.4

Newbie here.
So I am starting to use OEM on Windows XP workstation and have upgraded it to 10.2.0.4 and also wanted to upgrade the repository to 10.2.0.4 as well.
So this is what I have done so far.
I have installed 10.2.0.1 into a new home. I have patch it to 10.2.0.4. I am using DBUA to upgrade the database and have set my ORACLE_HOME to the new home and started DBUA. Everything is working just fine until the new OracleService is created and is trying to start. I received a message that it is unable to start service. If i click on continue I received the ORA-12560 TNS error. I have tried multiple times to get this to work and it always fails on this part..
Also to let you know that when I connect to SQLPlus before upgrade I have to connect using sysplus sysman/xxxxx@emrep with out emrep it won't connect. I have also set TNS_ADMIN to the original homes network/admin directory.
I have research the documentation on upgrading, but maybe I am missing a step or someone has run into the same issue.
Any help you can lend me would be appreciated.

The database files won't be copied over. As general practice, databases aren't stored under Oracle Homes. You could always fix that by moving the database, backup the control file to trace, and edit it with new file locations. I wouldn't worry about that right now.
Did you run the prerequisite script before trying to upgrade?
<10.2 HOME>/rdbms/admin/utlu102i.sql
Once a database is opened upgrade, you won't be able to open it with the old binaries.
Was the listener up when you tried to connect to it with 10.1? Were there any errors?
The manual process of upgrading the database is to export the 10.2 env, open the database upgrade, upgrade the data dictionary <10.2HOME>/rdbms/admin/catupgrd.sql, startup the database normally, and Compile all the invalid objects <10.2HOME>/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql. I would make sure to go over the sql that executes prerequisite checks and read through the upgrade docs. I would also take a backup before doing anything.

How to use EBS R12 Database (10.2.0.2) for report analysis tools?

Hi All,
My client wants to use reporting tools for bussiness analysis.For this I want to use a separate database which will be replica of production database.Is there any way to achieve this in R12 database(10.2.0.2)?
Kindly share your experience.
Regards
Latif

As Srini states, knowing more about your requirements would help us to help you. :-)
Do you need a daily twice/daily snapshot of your data? If so, then you might be able to implement the solution that Srini mentioned earlier. An added benefit of this method is that it can go beyond the creation of a reporting database: it can also be leveraged in the creation of additional clones for test and dev environments.
Do you need real-time replication of data to your reporting database? If so, then you might want to investigate Oracle Streams/Goldengate (disclaimer: I'm typing on the fly, so I'm not 100% certain that this is supported).
If you're willing to license more Oracle software to solve your problem, you might also consider Oracle Business Intelligence Applications, which has out-of-the-box integration with E-Business Suite for common reporting/business intelligence needs. There are additional costs involved, but you can weigh those against the development costs of "rolling your own" MVs and reports, and maintaining them.
Again, knowing your requirements, constraints, and points of flexibility will go a long way toward figuring out which option best suits you. :)

Perfomance Issue after Database Upgrade in 11i

Hi All,
We upgraded database from 9.2.0.5 to 10.2.0.4, the system was running fine. One month after upgrade we changed the compatibility from 9.2.0 to 10.2.0 for compatibilty and optimizers. Since then perfomance is poor for self service and PTO carry over is taking more then 10 hours, earlier which completes in 1:15 min to 1:30 min. I logged a SR and following with Oracle Support.
Are there any _"Best Practices"_ to be followed after database upgrade from 9i to 10g in 11.5.10.2.
All the database parameters has been set as recommeded by metalink note:216205.1

11.5.10 to r12.1 upgrade, TCA issues/questions

This is a fairly "advanced" r12 TCA question for the experts:
We are upgrading from EBS 11.5.10 to r12.
We also have a separate instance of EBS 11.5.10 in which we use "Oracle Customers Online" for our "CDH" (Customer Data Hub) that sends (spokes) party data to multiple subscribing systems. We are going to absorb this CDH instance into the upgraded r12 environment.
The r12 TCA upgrade takes all suppliers and creates NEW TCA structures for them (parties, sites, contacts, etc). Many of the suppliers overlap our customer parties in the real world (suppliers who are also customers). Additionally, these suppliers/customers have also been spoked to many other systems with the supplier segment1 + vendor_site_codes (same as our customer party_number/party_site_numbers).
1. We thought of merging the customers into the suppliers and then editing party_number/party_site_number to be the same as the original segment1 / vendor site_code, but ran into the following issues, of which the first below is most important:
-- r12 Upgrade makes ALL suppliers (regardless of vendor_type_lookup_code) into Party_Type 'ORGANIZATION', which cannot be merged with Customer Party_Type 'PERSON' parties....
-- Party site merges will not work if we don't have the EB Tax Geography MASTER_REF country/state/county/city/postal_code's defined for the hz_locations.
The party type issue above is important for existing data but also for new suppliers. PERSONs will never be able to merged in the future, between Suppliers and Customers in either direction.
For the sake of getting all these parties de-duped into single parties, I changed some of the supplier ORGANIZATION party_types to PERSON (and hence I also created an hz_person_profiles record using TCA api's). But after doing this, when we update the supplier through iSupplier Portal, it updates the underlying party_type back to ORGANIZATION. If I were to make this change, then merge PERSON customers into these Suppliers, and then a user updates the supplier data, then the whole party will get updated from PERSON to ORGANIZATION, which I think would be bad for our customer processing (and other modules in other spoke systems subscribing to party create/update events).
Also, if we are forced to leave suppliers separate from customers in case of PERSON entities, then I will especially have trouble trying to send a complete party definition to subscribing systems, since there are 2 parties instead of where there should be 1.
Any ideas about how to overcome this issue with r12 Suppliers integration with TCA ?
Thanks in advance!
