Effects of Oracle Upgrade from 10.2.0.1(32bit) to 10.2.0.4(64bit)

We are planning a Database Server upgrade. The current configuration is Red Hat Linux 4 (32Bit) and Oracle Database Enterprise 10.2.0.1 (32Bit). The proposed configuration is Red Hat Linux 5 (64Bit) and Oracle Database Enterprise 10.2.0.4 (64Bit).
No plans to change the middle-tier servers:
O/S- Windows 2003
OAS- Oracle Application Server Lite [Forms and Reports Service]- Version 10.1.2.0.2 .
No plans to change the development tools:
O/S- Windows XP SP2
Oracle Forms and Reports - (32Bit) Version 10.1.2.0.2 .
Has anyone encountered any gotchas/compatibility issues we should be aware of ? Do we need to upgrade the middle-tier and Developer Tools at the same time ?
Many thanks in advance for any advice.

Our forms application runs against a databases runnung on lot of platforms, like
HP-UX, AIX, WinServer 2k3, RedHat, Suse,...32 and 64 bit from 9.2.0.8 up to 10.2.0.4...
our development database is a 9.2.0.6 Windows Server 2003 32bit, and I haven't faced any problems on other platforms after moving to them (except the platform specific database bugs).
Only thing I can remember would be, if you make use of the utl_file package on the database - I'm sure you know the dos2unix and unix2dos fileformat problem.
so if you don't plan to change the middle-tier servers you should not run into serious problems (except a recompile of your forms against the new database could be necessary) to my mind. No need for changing middle tier and developer toos.

How big is the database ? How much downtime can you afford ? One option is to install 10.2.0.1 on the target, apply the 10.2.0.4 patch, create an empty instance on target, then export the database from the source and import into target.
Pl be aware that 10.2.0.1 thru 10.2.0.4 are on sustaining support and 10.2.0.5 is on extended support (if you have paid the extended support fees). Why not upgrade to 11gR2 ?

You'd better patch your 32 bit version to 10.2.0.4 first.

Oracle Upgrade from 10g to 11g [BRANCHED BY MODERATOR]

Hi Deepak/Folks,
Another question that I have is that while doing the Oracle Upgrade on an EP server, the patches were not installed properly and I had to shut down the Patches installation after it did not do anything for a while.
Now when I try to install the patches it fails telling me that the Installed patches cannot be verified, I had written to SAP and they told me to follow the
SAP note 1862446 - Inventory
load failed... OPatch cannot load inventory for the given Oracle Home
and re-create the oracle inventory.
This has also not helped in anyway.
Is there a solution to this problem.
Following is the error that I am getting when I try to Install the patches

Oracle Upgrade from 8.1.7.4 to 9.2

Hi ALL,
I am having a problem when i am trying to upgrade oracle from 8.1.7 to 9.2.
I have installed Oracle 9i in seperate oracle home directory than the original 8.1.7 home directory. After that i have removed oracle_home = sid from <SID>adm user environment as described in sap upgrade manual.i have logged in again to activate the variables. When i am trying to start database upgrade assistant in new oracle 9i. it is showing me the old oracle home and asking me to upgrade. when i press enter..it is erroring out saying ora 12560 error.
Guys, could you please let us know why these error occured. Did i miss something as i followed sap document on oracle upgrade.
Thanks in advance..

Hello vales,
Even i dont know how it worked .. upgrade assistant started working when i logged in with administrator account with which i installed oracle installations...
Thanks

Issue in oracle upgrade from 9i to 10g.

Hi,
I have an MS access application running on oracle database.Recently database is upgraded from 9i to 10g.
After upgrade application is facing the conversion problem.it is throwing an error on varchar and time stamp field showing invalid timestamp message.NLS setting of both the version is same.Please suggest.

Thank you,
Here are the answers of your queries.
Yes,This is affecting only MS access application because no other application is accessing this database.
No,No other component of the application is changed or upgraded it is only database which is upgraded.
The error is ORA-06502:PL/SQL:numeric or value error:Character to number conversion error.(In the application the value of this field is defind as Double and in database table it is VarChar and the system was working fine untill database upgrade after upgrade it is giving above error.)
For another field it is giving the error "No valid timestamp" although the same was working fine before upgrade.
No I have not traced the actual sessions but from the backup of 9i I have checked NLS setting and compared it with 10g and found that both are the same.
Hope I have not confused you.

Oracle upgrade from 9i

Dear all,
Currently we are using SAP R/3 4.7 on HP-UX with RDBMS oracle 9i. As we know, oracle 9i is out of support so now we want to upgarde it. Can u suggest me some questions relarted to this...
1. How much down time it will require for successfull upgardation from 9i to 10g or 11g?
2. We should go for 10g or 11g?
3. Will the oracle software chargeable from SAP service marketplace site as we already have license for R/3 and oracle 9i from SAP?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ankit Gupta

Hi
Recently we have done an upgrade from Oracle 9i R2 to Oracle 10g rel2 ( patch 10.2.04 )
Answering to your questions :
1. For the planning , please perform the same in the Sandboxes first. The process will be that you bring down SAP, perfrm a database upgrade , and then bring SAP up again.
For the DB upgrade , please go though the documented process and have all the requirements ready before doing the same in the Production System as it involves lots of Unix intervention.
In the sandbox , it took us a lot of time , however the expertise developed helped us in doing the Production upgrade in about 2-3 hours.
2. No , please upgrade to 10gr2 only now. it is well supported by Oracle and SAP
3. There will no extra charge for upgrading to oracle 10gr2 if you are having Licensed Oracle 9i software. U can get the CD's through Metalink SR .
Let me know if u need more information

Oracle Upgrade from Oracle RAC 9.2.0.6 to Oracle 10.2.0.4

Hi All,
Currently, we are running 4 node Oracle RAC environment with below mentioned configuration.
OS: Sun Solaris 5.9
Hardware: Sun E2900
Oracle Version: 9.2.0.6
Veritas Cluster Server: 4.1
We want to upgrade Oracle version to 10g, and currently analyzing the options to perform this. The current database size is 1TB appx and we want to spend minimum application shutdown time running on this database.
As part of upgrade, we also need to upgrade Veritas Cluster Server from 4.1 to 5.1 to support Oracle 10g. It would be great help,, if someone can pass some guideline to perform this task.
We are currently thinking about piecemeal approach, where we can upgrade each node individually and then put them back to cluster. There are some complexities involved, and its really high risk approach.
Thanks a lot in advance for help
Regards,
Manoj

Orcale 10g RAC requires you to install Oracle Clusterware. Oracle Supports running it along side a 3rd party clustering software. Not sure why you're so anxious to upgrade Veritas Clusterware when it will be trivial on the 10g db hosts.

Oracle upgrade from 10.1.0.4 to 10.2.0.3

Hi,
OS:RHEL3
We are in process of moving database to other machine (same name, same config) and upgrading db from 10.1.0.4 to 10.2.0.3. We forgot to copy home.
Can we start db from 10.2.0.3 and invoke dbua for upgrade?
or do i need to install 10.1.0.4 again and startup db and invoke dbua.
I started db in upgrade mode from 10.2.0.3 binaries and tried invoking dbua. It got "table does not exists error".
If i start db normally under 10.2.0.3 home and try upgrade with dbua will this work?
Thanks,
Anil

Hi,
DBUA upgrades the old database to new database by getting information from existing old database. These informations are stored in oratab file. Moreover oracle need the old database to start while performing upgradation. Starting of old database is not possible till you have its oracle home installed. So you are required to have older version oracle home installed before you carry out installation.
The older version can be new installation or old installation copy.
Regards
Anurag

We have R/3 4.7 SR2 system with Oracle 9.2 on 32 bit Windows platform (x86). We want to upgrade Database from Oracle 9.2 to Oracle 10.2 .
Is this possible ? If yes what is the procedure for same.
I searched but did not get any SAP document .Wpould appreciate any available documents you can share.
regards,
Pravash Raikar

Hi,
But when I goto SAP site : R/3 4.7C --> Upgrade --> Oracle ... it only provides DVD for Oracle 10.2 for 64 bit platform....
SAP suggest to migrate 32bit platform to 64 bit,
If your requirement is 10.2 32bit then you can raise an OSS with where sap will enable the archive link for customer to download 32 bit dump.
Thanks

Satellite A305D-S6848 - Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 32bit

I started the upgrading process, but it giving me a message that, I need to uninstall ATI CATALYST Install Manager, ATI Catalyst Control Center. My laptop is model A305D-S6848 Vista 32 bit. I don't know where to start to get that so can somebody point me to right direction to get that?
My laptop use ATI Radeon X1250 Graphic Card.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks

Hi buddy,
I think you have to uninstall the ATI Catalyst driver (display driver) because the version is too old and not compatible with Vista. You can uninstall the display driver in control panel > uninstall software. There you should find a list with all installed programs and drivers.
Newer display driver you can download on official Toshiba website:

Question on upgrading from win 7 home premium 32bit to 64 bit

So I have a Sattelite L455D. I upgraded the ram to four gigs however I can't utilize one gig of it well because of the 32bit limitations. The stock proccesor is capable of running 64bit. So I want to upgrade to 64 bit.
Now based on my research the retail installation disc would've came with the option to install both versions. However my specific laptop did not come with any back up dics or anything of that nature. So If I was to do a factory out of the box reset would I get prompted on which version to install? IF not is there ANY work around without having to go out and buy a retail win 7 disc?
Thanks,
Ed.

Satellite L455D-S5976
Downloads here.
You would need to install a retail copy of 64-bit Windows 7 and then install all of the drivers and utilities that make it work properly on your model. It's not a minor undertaking. And there is always the chance that you won't be able for one reason or another to get things working right.
If you install 64-bit Windows Home Premium, you are entitled to activate it for free.
32-bit Windows supports 4 of your 8 GB. Our computers here with several Office 2010 applications running rarely require more than 2 GB and never approach 3 GB.
If you run heavy-duty applications like video editing or CAD, you'll want access to all 8 GB of course.
I can help a bit more if you decide to go ahead with this project.
