DBUA issue with timezones when upgrading 11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.3

My task is to migrate an Oracle 11.2.0.2 test database (source database) to 11.2.0.3. The source database hat timezone files (RDBMS DST) version 18 installed. OS ist Windows 2008 R2.
I installed the 11.2.0.3 patchset into a separate Oracle Home (target) to perform an "Out-of-place"-upgrade. According to Note 1358166.1 I also installed the corresponding timezone files (version 18) into the target Oracle Home by applying the corresponding patch set using Opatch. The patch succeeded, and new files were copied into the \oracore\zoneinfo subdirectory under the target's Oracle Home. The files included a file named "readme_18.txt". As there is no database under the target Oracle Home there is no way to do the rest of the installation steps as described in Note 977512.1 (i.e. DBMS_DST.UPGRADE_DATABASE)
When I started the DBUA GUI from the Windows Start Menu (the version from the target Oracle Home), the source database was found, however during the analysis phase I got an error message stating that the timezone files on the target database have a lower version that the timezone files of the source database. The error in the trace.log (subdirectory of ORACLE_BASE\cfgtoollogs\dbua) reads:
*[PreMigrationCheck.checkTZVersion:101] new oracle home TZ file version 14 and source oracle home TZ file version 18*
To ensure that this problem is not resolved with one of the patchsets, I deinstalled the targed Oracle Home, reinstalled the 11.2.0.3 release, applied the latest patchset (Patch 13) using OPatch and then applied the timezone files version 18 using OPatch: Same error as before.
I started reading tons of documents, but I found nothing about this error in the forum or other places in the internet. So I started experimenting and I found a workaround: In the \oracore\zoneinfo subdirectory I renamed
- readme.txt to readme_14.txt and
- readme_18.txt to readme.txt
When I started DBUA again, the error did not return and I was able to migrate.
Question: Did I use a suitable workaround, or is there a better way to circumvent the DBUA error? Maybe I missed an important step.

I would suggest that you open an SR with Support on this issue

  • Performance issue with Crystal when upgrading Oracle to 11g

    Dear,
    I am facing performance issue in crystal report and oracle 11g as below:
    In ther report server, I have created a ODBC for connect to another Oracle 11g server. also in report server I have created and published a folder to content all of my crystal report. These report can connect to oracle 11g server via ODBC.
    and I have a tomcat server to run my application in my application I refer to report folder in report server.
    This way can work with SQL server and oracle 9 or 10g but it facing performance issue in oracle 11g.
    please let me know the root cause.
    Notes: report server, tomcate server are win 32bit, but oracle is in win 64bit, and i have upgraded DataDirect connect ODBC version 6.1 but the issue can not resolve.
    Please help me to solve it.
    Thanks so much,
    Anh

    Hi Anh,
    Use a third party ODBC test tool now. SQL Plus will be using the Native Oracle client so you can't compare performance.
    Download our old tool called SQLCON: https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252882008E/sqlcon32.zip
    Connect and then click on the SQL tab and paste in the SQL from the report and time that test.
    I believe the issue is because the Oracle client is 64 bit, you should install the 32 bit Oracle Client. If using the 64 bit client then the client must thunk ( convert 64 bit data to 32 bit data format ) which is going to take more time.
    If you can use OLE DB or using the Oracle Server driver ( native driver ) should be faster. ODBC puts another layer on top of the Oracle client so it too takes time to communicate between the layers.
    Thank you
    Don

  • TS1398 I have the ipad retina display version - I have a BIG issue with this when out and about that on about 50% of the time will it see my HTC mobile WiFi hotspot - rebooting either, or both devices doesn't cure the problem it drives me MAD!!!!

    I have the ipad retina display version - I have a BIG issue with this when out and about, that only about 50% of the time will it see my HTC mobile WiFi hotspot - rebooting either, or both devices doesn't cure the problem it drives me MAD!!!!
    The HTC hotspot works fine with everything else I connect to it.
    Also - ipad will not connect to my HTC via bluetooth. Again, I can connect to everything else with my HTC other than my ipad.
    I have to say this is my first venture into Apple products and I have always wanted to get away from my windows based laptop to get a MacBook, the problems I have had (flash player etc) & continue to have (as above) are putting me right off swapping over. I HATE technology that doesn't work and my ipad has been hard work!

    I stated my ipad as being an ipad2, but I now think it is a 3??? It was new Jan this year and is the 64gb retina display version.
    I really would like to get to the bottom on this problem wit mobile hotspots as it is sitting on my desk next to me now and I cannot get it to connect to my HTC mobile hotspot!!!! It might be taking a flying lesson soon at this rate!!! Grrrrrrr...........

  • Issues with mountain lion upgrade

    Has anyone had any issues when upgrading from snow leopard to mountain lion?
    I upgraded on Sunday and since have had some issues with access to the Internet. The only way I can get it is by switching off wifi and back on again.
    This is happening on both admin account and my sons profile. Though interestingly when I try and access the parental control panel for his account, I get some system errors.
    Any help or support would be appreciated.

    I also upgraded from Snow to Mountian.  I can bring up google search results but can't load any web pages.  My Mac Pro was working great with Snow never had any issues with internet.  Saw a post with a solution of disabling auto proxy but that doesnt work.  The only way I can load a web page is if I restart my Mac open up Safari then I can usually bring up one web page and then I can not load any more.  I cant connect to the App store either.  I dont know how I will be able to download a patch from Apple now.

  • Issue with amavisd after upgrade to 2.6.4 folowing topicdesk tutorial

    Running into various issues with my mail server after applying Security Update 2009-005 to my MacOS X Server 10.4.11, I have upgraded Amavisd, SpamAssassin and ClamAV to the most recent versions respectively 2.6.4, 3.2.5 and 0.95.2 using the topicdesk tutorials as in the past.
    Amavisd now refuses to start issuing a
    setrgid() not implemented at /usr/bin/amavisd line 13421
    I have reinstalled everything several times in case I would have made a mistake but no luck.
    Falling back to the previous version of amavisd (2.6.3) does not fix the problem.
    Has someone an idea on where to look.
    A thread in 2008 speaks about the same massage but I have been able to figure out how the problem was fixed.
    Urgent help welcome.

    Thanks for your reply. Neither amavisd.log not system.log gives any clue on where the problem comes from. I was trying to use debug to get an idea on where the problem comes from but it seems not to work as before though.
    I am definitely not a UNIX specialist. How do you run amavisd in debug mode than if you can't no longer run it from the command line with debug.
    Regarding the installation process, I have followed the tutorial line by line and did it 5 times just to be sure.
    I nevertheless experienced several issues that I fixed :
    1. force install Convert::UUlib failed. I had to run the install out of CPAN.
    2. running /usr/local/bin/spamassassin -V fails with command not found but succeed when run as /usr/bin/spamassassin -V
    3. sudo su clamav "spamassassin --lint" generating 2 warnings due to ok_locales and ok_languages in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf even after running spamtrainer -f, fixed by commenting out the two lines.
    To ensure that I did not do a typo, I have copied an unmodified version of amavisd.conf tp /etc/amavisd.conf. Same issue. Amavisd won't start.
    Is there a way to get what executing amavisd debug from the terminal was doing ?
    Will run a clean install on a different server that runs the same os level but was never upgraded using topicdesk tutorials and see what happens.

  • Permissions issue with Entourage after upgrading to Leopard

    I upgraded my system to Leopard and in doing so, did a "clean" install. I copied my backup Database file to the Identity folder and now i get "you do not have sufficient permissions to view contents of this folder" when trying to launch. If i let Entourage create a new database file, it works fine....

  • X61 Standby issue with XP when undocked

    Hi,
    Just did a HDD upgrade on my most excellent X61 and after a clean install of XP, I now have an issue with the Standby functionality. Here's the symptoms:
    1. If I restart while X61 is docked, I get normal startup and standby mode works both when docked and after proper undocking procedure. Works as expected.
    2. If I restart undocked, the Standby option in the "Turn Off Computer..." menu is grayed out and sure enough, never goes into standby. I have of course tried to modify power options in the Control panel, but it never gives me the option to go into Standby mode when lid is closed.
    I do have dual boot on my X61 with Debian Linux and that supports Standby, no issues.
    So, after some background reading, seems there is a possibility that I missed a driver during installation and some HW is not letting the X61 enter standby when it is not docked.
    Any ideas which driver this may be??? Though I'd ask before having to through and try to install ALL drivers again
    thanks in advance for any input...
    Jeff

    Just tried installing lots of stuff I probably don;t need with System Updater. Now I've got:
    - Still no standby when undocked
    - 2 instances of thinkvantage toolbox that does nothing but try to repair "installed fonts" and fails
    - ThinkPad Video Features (Intel GM965) keeps recurring in the updates. When I try, it says successfully installed, but ???
    Any ideas?
    thanks

  • Issues with ApexLib after upgrading to Apex4

    After upgrading our application to Apex 4 we have run into some issues that look to be related to ApexLib. We had issues with popup LOV’s and some tabular forms, after upgrading to ApexLib 2.1.2 the popup LOV's seem to be resolved. But we still have some problems when trying to update a tabular form that uses ApexLib validation. When trying to update we get an error that 'field' is needed, but the 'field' has been selected from a select LOV.
    The error shows "Row 1: Health ED is required."
    The code is:
    select
    "PERSON_WP_HLTH_ID",
    "PERSON_WP_HLTH_ID" PERSON_WP_HLTH_ID_DISPLAY,
    "PERSON_ID",
    "PERSON_WP_HLTH_ED_CODE",
    "PERSON_WP_HLTH_OTHER"
    from "#OWNER#"."PERSON_WP_HLTH"
    where person_id = :p58_person_id
    I get this in debug mode.
    ...Process "ApexLib-Before Computation/Validation": PLSQL (ON_SUBMIT_BEFORE_COMPUTATION) BEGIN ApexLib_Item.setBoolDefault; ApexLib_Item.trimItems; ApexLib_TabForm.trimColumns; ApexLib_Lov.clearLovNullValues; ApexLib_Item.validateItems; ApexLib_TabForm.validateColumns; -- ApexLib_Error.showErrorStack; END;
    I'm not convinced this is ApexLib related, but not sure what else might be the issue. Any thoughts or comments welcome.
    Cheers,
    JB

    Peter,
    I'm fairly new to APEX, would love to put a copy up on apex.oracle.com but not sure on the process. I have an account there, but don't have a packaged application yet so how to do that. If it's a simple process and you can point me to the process that would be appreciated.
    In the mean time, I would have no problem setting up a developer and user account account temporarily for you to take a look. You can email me at [email protected] and I'll get you the info.
    Thanks for you prompt response.

  • Issues with iMessage when switching data carrier (wifi - cellular)

    So I have had this issue with my 5S and now my 6+ in iMessage. Not *always* but often enough I've run into issues sending messages via iMessage when I associate with wifi in that they don't send. I'll get an error message saying "not delivered" and it will stack as many outgoing messages I try to send. However, if I force the first message to send as text, subsequent messages will go through afterwards without issue. If I go from wifi to cellular I have no issues whatsoever and when I have these issues on wifi, my data works fine (incoming emails, Facebook notifications, etc.). I used to run cellular data only because I had unlimited but now I have a cap so I intend on using wifi when possible...but to have to send my first message as a text just so I can use iMessage is annoying...

    Hi there BigDogg795,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps for iMessage found in the article below. 
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps
    Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you selected iMessage for use. If the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use, troubleshoot iMessage registration.
    Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. If a data connection isn't available, troubleshoot cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
    iMessage over cellular data might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn which network your phone supports. If your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while you're on a call.
    Restart your device.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.
    -Griff W.

    What is your SP level ?
    Also the characteristics mentioned - are they compounding attributes ? if yes then tey will come in your variable entry.

  • Issue with Backflush when Consuming Fractions

    I am having an issue with back-flushing I was hoping Guru's  could help me .
    Here is the issue:
    In the BOM for every 1 EA of X(Parent) we need .025 EA of Y(Child)
    The parent part is X. Using CS03 and typing in a quantity of 20 pcs everything looks perfect. I would consume component Y .500 of a sheet.
    If you review MFBF for 20 pcs. of X  it wants to consume 1.00 of Y. (1 whole sheet instead of .5)
    I know I could put a rounding value of 40 on the X to fix this but that would not be an option for this particular process. Measurements of each of these is not exactly the same and very critical.
    Is there an issue with SAP consuming fractions? It seems to round up to 1 whole sheet when it should only consume .500 of a sheet. Do you know of a way to fix this?
    Any info would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks,
    Safi

    For some reason which is unknown for me, this topic is very hard to manage within SAP.
    We face exactly the same issue producing Tanks from steel sheets.
    Base Unit of Measure was EA for Sheets . SO, we create a copy of EA called ED (each with decimals) , allowing up to three decimals and assign it as an alternate UoM to the material. In Bom, we had, for instance, 3.6 ED to produce a tank.
    But, in reservations the quantities are stored as Base Unit of measure and without decimals, regardless the fact that you a have an alternative UoM , etc etc.
    So, if you consume the component based on MIGO and reservations, SAP will propose 4 EA (o 4 ED ! which is even stranger - because of double conversion between base and alternative UoM) . If you consume by backflush, you dont even realise that the GI is being carried out in that way.
    We are still waiting for some solution after we sent a message, describing the issue. It is advisable to search the SAP Notes to see if there is some solution .
    So far, alternative UoM is not the solution.
    You must change the base unit of measure to ED or have some manual procedure of checking the quantities.
    Of course, EA can be redefined with decimal parts, also, but this normally can lead to some other problems (other parts managed striclty in EA, i. e. a tank,  could be managed in fractions, 0.75 of a tank !!! etc. )

  • Issues with Images when used w/ Caption Widget & Book File Size Q

    Hi Everyone,
    I was having issues with images not showing up and determined it was the caption widget causing the issue. I now have one of two issues happening consistently. Either the image does not show at all or just the caption box with bkgd gray and caption text shows, but without the image.
    Anyone else have this issue?
    Ay ideas would be greatly appreciated. I wasw just about finished with this project when this started!
    Also, the size of the book is considerably larger than I realized.It is 81 mb. . . How does this compare to any of your books?
    THANKS SO MUCH!
    Belinda

    Belinda,
    I can't speak to your main issue, as I cannot recreate the problem over here.
    As a guess, have you checked to make sure you're not running out of harddrive space? iBA can consume space quickly, and behaves oddly when it begins to run out of room.
    But as far as filesize goes, I can only wish for an 81 MB book. Mine is currently a little over 2 GB and growing. Tonight I had to split it into 2 volumes just so iBooks Author can run at a reasonable pace. I was getting tired of waiting 1-2 minutes after dragging a video around on the page before I could get control of the program again.
    You should note that Apple is expecting large filesizes for this new Multi-Touch format. The docs on iTunesConnect say the largest allowed upload size for a book is 16GB 2BG (see link below)

  • Issue with memory when trying to do a restore on iPad 2

    I'm had a few issues with my iPad and am trying to do a restore, I start OK but then after a while I get a "can not be restore. The disk you are attempting to use is full" the PC I am using does not have a large C drive and space is limited but I do have a large external drive attached with loads of space.  Is there any method of using the external hard drive when restoring?
    I hope this makes sence, iPad now been down for over a week and issues getting me down.

    The restore must be done within iTunes on your PC while iTunes is running so - No - you cannot restore using the external drive. You might try moving some of the stuff on your C drive to the external drive to free up space and then restore your iPad.
