Database size impact during upgrade

We have 3 databases to upgrade from 8.1.7 to 10R2 and all different sizes:10G, 200G, 700G We are planning for manual upgrade path.
Would size matter in terms of time to complete upgrade on each database?
All 3 database have same amount of objects, components. Just more data. Our users and managers asking for down time ball park for each database.

The size of your database is one of the most important factors of choosing your upgrade path.
If your database is 8.1.7.4 then you have direct upgrade path to 10gR2.

ECC 6.0 Upgrade database size

Hello,
We are planing to upgrade from 4.7E to ECC 6.0. Our current database size is around 1.5 TB. What is the size of database growth after upgrade? How much diskspace we must reserve for upgrade?
I appreciate your help
Thanks,
Kris

> We are planing to upgrade from 4.7E to ECC 6.0. Our current database size is around 1.5 TB. What is the size of database growth after upgrade? How much diskspace we must reserve for upgrade?
In my case my Non-unicode DB size is 680GB and after upgrade to Non-unicode ECC 6.0 my DB growth Hardly 20GB.
So its not 3 times of your DB size.
In case of Conversion from non-Unicode to unicode 4.7 db growth near to 30-40GB and upgrade from Unicode 4.7 to Unicode ECC 6.0 another 30 to 40 GB.
Note : this is with DB SQL server 2005 on Windows 2003 EE.

Archivelog mode during upgrade

HI All,
During upgrading the database from 10g to 11g... I will put my database from noarchivelog mode to archivelog mode to save the disk space.
Does this task improves or speedsup the process of upgradation or any impact.
Suggestions please.
regards,
TEJAS

when DB is archivelog mode and you put DB in startup upgrade mode.. and execute catupgrd.sql script it starts updating dictionary objects and generates archivelogs ..
Hence i put the DB in noarchive log mode..
Any performance impact by putting the upgrade process in noarchivelog mode in terms of time duration the backup is performed.No performance impact, But recommended to put in Archivelog mode, even though if you have good backup.
Also apart from this thread, have a question, The catupgrd.sql script execution duration depends upon the data disctionary contents right not on the DB size ? i am having this question. plz answer.The upgrade script creates and alters certain data dictionary tables. It also upgrades or installs the following database components in the new Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2) database:

Best practice on mailbox database size & we need how many server for deployment exchange server 2013

Dear all,
We have an server that runs Microsoft exchange server 2007 with the following specification:
4 servers: Hub&CAS1 & Hub&CAS2 & Mailbox1 & Mailbox2
Operating System : Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise x64
6 mailbox databases
1500 Mailboxes
We need to upgrade our exchange server from 2007 to 2013 to fulfill the following requirment:
I want to upgrade the exchange server 2007 to exchange server 2013 and implement the following details:
1500 mailboxes
10GB or 15GB mailbox quota for each user
How many
servers and databases are
required for this migration<ins cite="mailto:Mohammad%20Ashouri" datetime="2014-05-18T22:41"></ins>?
Number of the servers:
Number of the databases:
Size of each database:
Many thanks.

You will also need to check server role requirement in exchange 2013. Please go through this link to calculate the server role requirement : http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/05/14/released-exchange-2013-server-role-requirements-calculator.aspx
2TB is recommended maximum database size for Exchange 2013 databases.
Here is the complete checklist to upgrade from exchange 2007 to 2013 : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff805032%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
Meanwhile, to reduce the risks and time consumed during the completion of migration process, you can have a look at this proficient application(http://www.exchangemigrationtool.com/) that would also be
a good approach for 1500 users. It will help you to ensure the data security during the migration between exchange 2007 and 2013.

Script level upgrade for database 'master' failed because upgrade step 'msdb110_upgrade.sql' encountered error 537, state 3, severity 16

Hello,
I've encountered issue during installation of SP1 to SQL Server 2012. After upgrade I'm getting this error in Event Log:
Script level upgrade for database 'master' failed because upgrade step 'msdb110_upgrade.sql' encountered error 537, state 3, severity 16. This is a serious error condition which might interfere with regular operation and the database will be taken offline.
If the error happened during upgrade of the 'master' database, it will prevent the entire SQL Server instance from starting. Examine the previous errorlog entries for errors, take the appropriate corrective actions and re-start the database so that the script
upgrade steps run to completion.
Can someone point me direction how I can fix it? This is a production server and currently only way to make it working is to use T902 flag in SQL Server startup params. I've found some suggestions to check Data path if it exists but it does so this is not
the issue here. Any ideas?
I've found also here
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1377073-1550-1.aspx#bm1378279
suggestions for similar issue with SQL Server 2008 which that I should do:
Via ssms:
From msdb:
Delete:
dc_admin role
Dc_operator role
Dc_proxy role
UlitityCMRReader role
UtilityIMRReader role
UtilityIMRWriter role
but for not I didn't tried it yet. This is standalone SQL Server instance.
Any help really appreciated.
Regards

Before sending my message I've searched update script for "FROM master.sys.master_files" and I found script which you are showing me. I've made some digging and when I runned:
       SELECT physical_name
       FROM master.sys.master_files
       WHERE (name = N'master')
it returned also path to one my customers database name which has filename set correctly but it's Logical DB name is master and mastlog. I'm running shared hosting company and I allow my customers to restore their DBs from .bak files but I have no idea why
this customers logical name is set to master and mastlog. Probably when I change this names update script will work as it should. On the other hand in my opinion there should be some kind of fail safe mechanism for situations like this one.
EDIT: After changing logical name for DB and log for mentioned DB your script runned fine so probably now when I remove T902 flag and restart my SQL Server update will run correctly. Big thanks for resolving this issue.

Best Trategy to reduce the Database Size

Hi Everyone,
In our Client's Landscape SAP systems have been upgraded to newer versions whereas our client want
one copy of older Production systems (one copy to retain)
1) SAP R/3 4.6 C system (database size of this system is approx 2TB)
2) SAP BW 3.0 (database size of this system is approx 2TB)
Now CLient wants us to reduce the database size via re-organization because Archiving of IDOCs & Links we have already done
Client has recommended for :
1) Oracle Export/Import: Only Oracle DBA can do (ignore this one)
2) Database Reorganization : We have tried Reoragnization via BRtools but found very tedious 9 (ignore this one)
3) SAP Export/Import : Via this way we want to reduce the database size
Can anybody Tell us How much Free space do we require in order at OS level in order to store the Database Export
of Two Databases of size around 4TB & what would be the best strategy of reducing the Dabase size.
Via SAP Export/Import how much approx how much database size will be reduced
Thanks & Regards
Deepak Gosain

Hi,
>Can anybody Tell us How much Free space do we require in order at OS level in order to store the Database Export
>of Two Databases of size around 4TB & what would be the best strategy of reducing the Dabase size.
The only realistic way to know is to do a system copy of the production system on a testbed system and to test the Database Export.
If you really want to decrease the database size you will have to archive a lot more than the IDOC archiving object.

4) No of Application servers currently having --> Only One Server
Can any body suggest me how to solve this.....
Thanks in Advance..

Hi Kasi,
Your question is not very clear, from the looks of it, the load on your client's system will be doubling soon.
You need to look at the system stats on how the system is handling the current load, use transactions ST06, ST04 and ST02 to check if the DB hit ratios are as expected, the cpu idle time, the busy periods. Identify if there is large amounts of paging on the server(candidate for increase in real memory).
On AIX level, you will need to look at CPU / Memory usage.
On SAP Application server, you need to look at SAP Buffers.
On Oracle end, look at SGA stats, if it need to increase, the data growth that is current and estimated growth (DB02).
You will not get an exact answer to it, you will need to analyze the existing load and then estimate (guess). The hardware upgrade will also depend on what the client is willing to spend, its always a good practise to add 20% to what you have estimated as these figures are never accurate.
All the best.
Cheers,
Nisch

Rebuild Database did not reduce the database size

I just completed a rebuild database. The rebuild completed much quicker than anticipated and in the end the did not reduce in size.
This is my first rebuild and since original installation I have deleted a number of masters. From my understanding thumbnails and previews are not deleted when the master is deleted. In order to delete the thumbnails and previews the db must be rebuilt. Is this correct?
The db is over 31.1gb. The rebuild took approx 10 minutes and when completed the db size was still 31.1gb. There was a message during the rebuild that read "Recovering projects". I was expecting to see stats showing previews and thumbnails being generated in the activity window but don't see it. Has the db been rebuilt?
Thanks for any assistance.

Rebuilding the database is for disaster-recovery, not file maintenance. I certainly wouldn't do it unless something was fundamentally broken and the application didn't run.
"rebuilding" the database seems to do the following:
(1) remove the database file completely (not even to the trash, it destroys the database utterly)
(2) run through the plist files and reconstruct a brand-new database from them all
I checked this (on an empty library) using hard-links from the commandline, and step (1) above scared me sufficiently that I'd only rebuild the database as an absolute last resort.
Now, 31GB seems a lot for a database that only took 10 minutes to rebuild - are you sure you're not telling us the size of the library (to find the database size, right-click on the library and select view-package-contents, then open the 'Aperture.aplib' folder and find the size of the 'Library.apdb' file. That's the file you're changing when you 'rebuild database'.)
If you're telling us the size of the entire aperture library instead, then that size will be completely dominated by the master RAW files you've imported. I'd guess your library will be less than 10MB.
My understanding is that previews are deleted (since they're stored as separate files alongside the master image, if you look in the folder hierarchy), but thumbnails aren't. The thumbnails are aggregated together into one-file-per-project (presumably for speed of access), and I'd guess the space is reclaimed for future use, but the file doesn't get any smaller. That's a classic trade-off for speed-of-access, and users like us are normally very keen on things being fast

Error during upgradation

Hi,
During upgradation I got error at SACT_700 with following log
Activate lock object "E_BAMMAPNG"
4EEDI751 Base table "BAMMAPFCGR" of the lock object is not active
4 EDI813 Lock object "E_BAMMAPNG" not activated
4 EDI806XActivate lock object "E_BAMUIBT"
4EEDI751 Base table "BAMUIB" of the lock object is not active
4EEDI751 Base table "BAMUIBT" of the lock object is not active
4 EDI813 Lock object "E_BAMUIBT" not activated
When I looked at the base table it is already active.
And also with the following error log
Activate search help "Z_KSTAR"
4EEDH163 Search help parameter "SPRAS" does not occur in the selection method
4WEDH187 Default value "'EN'" does not suit the type of search help parameter "SPRAS"

but when I checked the search help it is consistent & I want default value EN to be specified.

Hi Karthik,
Kindly check the versions of E_BAMMAPNG and E_BAMUIBT. if you find Modif and Active version, then lock objects are not in active mode.
open the object in edit mode, check the object and activate it.
in search help Z_KSTAR and Z_SKA1, check if SPRAS is used as IMPORTING and/or EXPORTING parameter. remove the check of IMPORTING or EXPORTING parameter, save and activate the search help
MAKTX is available in KKAPARA_TA, hence remove it from ZAKKAPARA_TA. save and activate the structure and table.
after each modification, adjust and activate the database.
regards
Rahul.

Root Privilege during upgrade?

We have two database(DEV & UAT) one Sun Solaris Machine.
DEV database already upgraded from Oracle9i to Oracle10g
Now I want to updgrade UAT database using DBUA utility
(Do I need root privilege during upgrade)

Is there any document for upgrade Yes, here: http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14238/toc.htm
This is for 10g R2.

Preserving customization during upgrade

Hi,
Are there any special steps which need to be done to preserver the customization during upgrade.
Thanks,
Taher

Taher,
Are you referring to the upgrade from 11i to R12? If yes, see below:
Are there any special steps which need to be done to preserver the customization during upgrade.For the database objects, you have to validate all those objects after the upgrade and test it all. Since many changes happen to the seeded database objects, many of the objects become obsolete so you will have to test your custom code and make sure all is working as expected (if you follow the customization naming convention, then should be easy to be done).
For custom forms/reports, please refer to:
How To Upgrade 11i Custom Forms To R12 [ID 563258.1]
Do Not Compile EBS R12 Reports Using rwconverter.sh or Reports Builder from IDS 10gR2 [ID 786794.1]

Data_Transfer and Database size.

Hello all,
I am using a Data_Transfer transform to speed up job performance. My question is that if I use these transforms will database size increase by a larger percentage than if not using it. And if so are there options that I can select to limit the size in growth in Data Services and in the Database? The database that is being used is Oracle 11g.
Thank you

Hi Shiva,
Thank you for your response. Just to make sure I understand you mean that after the job is done, whatever temp tables are creating during the "Data_Transfer" are removed from the database and will not take up space? Also does using this method increase the database log size much more than just using a DS job without it?
Thank you and sorry for all the questions.
