Enviroment variables after upgrade 10gR2 to 11gR2 grid

Hello,
Oracle teaches us (for example, in appendix F "How to Upgrade to Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g Release 2") that before upgrade you must unset such variables like ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID etc. So, I did it, upgrade from 10gR2 clusterware to 11gR2 grid was succesful. Now I couldn't find any info, must I restore back these variables, or what must to do with them. For example I couldn't run anything from the new grid home ("command not found"), because CRS_HOME was unset, must I just add new grid home to PATH ?

Execute the below command at OS level and verify from which home is the crsctl utility is being called
which crsctl
Ensure that the above command is being called from the correct home
If the path from which crsctl utility is being called is the correct one, then perform starce on the crsctl command and verify the starce output to check if it truly is using 10g binaries or not
If not, then try unlocking and locking the GI binaries using "rootcrs.pl -unlock" (to unlock) and "rootcrs.pl -patch" (to lock the binaries), once done verify if you are still getting the same issue or not

I am planning on upgrading 10gr2 to 11gr2(11.2.03) in EBS 11.5.10.2.
I was going thru document 881505.1 under Veryfy software versions, it says autoconfig latest version with 9835302 patch.
In note 165195.1 using autoconfig to manage Configurations with oracle systems under patching autoconfig, says apply patch 9525311.
which one should be applying?
9835302 patch or 9525311?
Thanks.

The doc says "Also apply patch 9835302" in addition to AutoConfig patches, so you need to apply both -- (Patch 9835302 and Patch 9535311).

Error in hierarchy variable after upgrade to BW7.4 SP 7 from 7.0

Dear friends,
We have upgraded from BW7.0 to BW7.4. While executing query with hierarchy variable as input we are getting a dump. The hierarchy variable is used in customer exit. It was working fine before upgrade but after upgrade we are getting following error

The <dname> field symbol is not assigned causing the dump.
Line: "LOOP AT <dname> INTO l_dname" is where the dump is occurring. The previous line of code has an issue:
ASSIGN ('(SAPSRRK0)<G_SX_RR>-SFC') TO <dname>.
The assignment to <dname> in the code above is not occurring properly. You can debug the query variable to see why (SAPSRRK0)<G_SX_RR>-SFC is not returning a value.

Owbsys.wb_rt_api_exec.open fails after upgrade to OWB 11gR2

The following code is used as a PLSQL wrapper to execute OWB mappings and is based on the good old run_my_own_stuff.sql. We have been mandated to use Tivoli as the corporate scheduler, meaning we do not have Workflow as a solution. We have implemented the audit_execution_id as an input parameter to all the mappings to be able to link the data to the OWBSYS audit tables, as well as return mapping performance and success info to the execution process/session. I have implemented this exact same procedure in 10gR1, 10gR2 and 11gR1 (current dev env) with no problems at all - the code ports easily. However following an upgrade (actually an export/import of the repository from 11gR1 on a 64bit solaris to 11gR2 on Exadata running enterprise linux 5) - actually the test server (I know, I know, I said the same thing!), the code now fails on the wb_rt_api_exec.open line (highlighted).

Does anyone out there know if there is a difference between 11gR1 and R2 in the way that the wb_rt_api_exec function works?
Is there a simple way to retrieve the audit_id before executing the mapping, or at a push during the mapping so that we can maintain the link between the session data and the OWBSYS audit data?
Martin

Hi David, I have been reading some of your posts and blogs around OWB and I still have not found the answer.
OK, thereis/was a script that Oracle Support/forums/OTN sent out a while ago called "run_my_iowb_stuff" - I am sure you will be familiar with it. I based the code I uploaded on it and added additional functionality. In essence, I wanted to use the audit_id as an input parameter tot he mapping, so that I can register the audit_id in the management tables, and associate each row of loaded data with a specific mapping_id which would allow a simple link to the owbsys audit tables to complete the audit circle. To that end, I used the owbsys.wb_rt_api_exec.open procedure to register the mapping execution, and then on the execute procedure of the same package, I passed this audit_id in as a custom parameter:
<<snip>>
owbsys.wb_workspace_management.set_workspace (v_workspace_name, v_workspace_owner);
v_audit_execution_id := owbsys.wb_rt_api_exec.open (v_map_type, v_map_name, v_loc_name, 'PLSQL');
IF v_audit_execution_id IS NULL
OR v_audit_execution_id = 0
THEN
RAISE e_execution_id_error;
END IF;
v_retval := v_retval || 'audit_execution_id=' || TO_CHAR (v_audit_execution_id);
IF v_include_mapping_id > 0 -- if non-zero, submit owb execution id as an input parameter to the map process
THEN
owbsys.wb_rt_api_exec.override_input_parameter (
v_audit_execution_id,
'p_execution_id',
TO_CHAR (v_audit_execution_id),
owbsys.wb_rt_api_exec.parameter_kind_custom
END IF;
<<snip>>
The execution is closed, also by the use of the audit_id ( "owbsys.wb_rt_api_exec.close (v_audit_execution_id)" )
I can also use the audit_id to inspect the audit tables to retrieve the records processed as well as any associated error messages, and format them for the calling application (owSQL*Plus, which is normally the context of our current use).
This procedure has been working weel up to now until we moved over to 11gR2 when all of a sudden the audit_id is not returned when executing "v_audit_execution_id := owbsys.wb_rt_api_exec.open (v_map_type, v_map_name, v_loc_name);". Prior to 11gR2 this worked like a charm - now it has crashed to a halt.
As an interesting twist, I have tried to substitute a sequence number for the audit_id, and then tried to get the audit_id after the mapping completes, so that I can put both the sequence and audit id in a table so it maintains the link. However in attempting to use the owbsys.wb_rt_script_util.run_task procedure which now appears to be the only thing left working, I was astonished to see the following output in sqlplus:
SQL> exec map1('stg_brand')
Stage 1: Decoding Parameters
| location_name=STAGE_MOD
| task_type=PLSQLMAP
| task_name=STG_BRAND
Stage 2: Opening Task
| l_audit_execution_id=2135
Stage 3: Overriding Parameters
Stage 4: Executing Task
| l_audit_result=1 (SUCCESS)
Stage 5: Closing Task
Stage 6: Processing Result
| exit=1
--> SUCCESS
Execution time = .647362 seconds.
records/sec
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL>
This output seems so identical to the "run_my_owb_stuff" that either Oracle support generated their "run_my_owb_stuff" as a lightweight owbsys.wb_rt_script_util.run_task procedure, or Oracle incorporated the "run_my_owb_stuff" script into their owbsys.wb_rt_script_util.run_task procedure! Which way round I cannot say, but it is surely one or the other! To make matters worse, I have raised this with Oracle Support, and they have the temerity to claim that they do not support the "run_my_owb_stuff" script, but think enough of it to incorporate it into their own package in a production release!
To overcome my problems, in the short term, I need to be able to access the audit_id either during or after the execution of the mapping, so that I can at least associate that with a sequence number I am having to pass in as a parameter to each mapping. In the longer term, i would like a solution to be able to access the audit_id before I execute the mapping, as I could by calling the "owbsys.wb_rt_api_exec.open " procedure. Ideally this would be solved first and I would not need to use a sequence at all.
Hope this clarifies things a bit.

Attributes dissappear from the formula variable after upgrade

Hi,
We have upgraded from 3.X to 7.X. When i run the reporrt, i get the error saying that attribute XXXX for characterstic 0object in variable ZFormula variable couldn't found.
When i went and checked in the formula variable, under replacement path
Replace variable with
Info Object
Replace With
Attribute value
Attribute
I couldnt find my XXXX attribute but with error mesage.
I tried to create a same formula variable,but could't find the XXXX variable under ATTRIBTE.
I coldnt find the proper solution or note. Did anyone had issue like this?
Thanks
Annie

Hi,
Thanks for the replies. But my issue is not with variants. Attributes are missing when I try to assign attribute of char in replacement path and also in my exception aggregation in query designer, reference char isu201D-1u201D. I am not very sure how can it be u201C-1u201D. Is it upgrade issue?
Thanks

expected value = glibc-2.3.4-41
actual value = glibc-2.3.4-2.36
Thanks

Srini,
Thanks your reply
It says I need to register. So , is it paid site or how to complie my own rpm from source with public key which is mentioned on the website
Oracle's Enterprise Linux: OCFS2 Tools 1.2.7-1 packages for EL4 and EL5 are available on the Unbreakable Linux Network. Subscribers can upgrade to this release by issuing the following command:
$ up2date --install ocfs2-tools ocfs2console
What is this up2date, when I run that it is asking for username and password. Please give me instructions.

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

FORM NOT RESPONDING AFTER UPGRADING TO ORACLE 10GR2 DATABASE

Hi All
We are upgrading from Oracle 9i (single AIX Server) to Oracle 10gR2 on HACMP of 2 AIX 5.3 Server.
Our application is in Forms 9.0.4 deployed into iAS 10.1.2.0.2.
There is a custom Login Form that checks for UserID and Password and validate
to Authentication Table.
This form works fine in Oracle 9i but doesn't work in Oracle 10g (After
Upgrading).
On the Login Form, this happen :
After user enter UserID the forms query the DB and display UserName succesfully,
but after enter Password and press OK, it does not responding,
takes forever to complete..
Additional information :
Before :          After :
Oracle 9i          Oracle 10gR2
SIngle AIX Server     Two AIX Server in HACMP
Charset : AL16UTF16     WE8ISO....
Given the information above, What could possibly cause this problem ?
Thank you for your help,
xtanto.

xtanto,
not sure what causes the problem, but my suggestion is to check the password query.
To give you another hint: Your way of authenticating users is not hack safe. As you describe that providing a user ID will show the name first before I have to provide the password, it allows me to fish for valid user accounts. The recommended way of using login screens is to have the user enetring userid and password in teh same screen and use both information to authenticate the user in a single query.

BEx web problem after upgrade: hierarchy variable and OK button

Hi experts,
we are busy in an upgrade project in which both portal and BW are being upgraded to 7.40.
After upgrading we find several problems in which we get stuck.
First problem: every query that has a variable on an infoobjects marked with a hierarchy does not work in Java Web.
As soon as we press the lookup button the browser freezes.
In ABAP web en Bex analyzer everything is OK.
Our release is BW 7.40 SP5. For the Java things we had to upgrade Bex web components to 7.40 SP6.20 (BW Java and portal system).
On OSS, SCN and google we cannot find any clues for this.
We are preparing the OSS call for SAP but maybe anyone of you experts has faced the same issue.
Any advice is welcome.
Second problem:
When a variable screen pops up and everything has been filled in, we have to press the OK button twice (instead of once).
The first OK does a check/validate and then returns to the screen instead of proceeding when check is OK.
Has 7.4 introduced a new setting we have to adjust for this?
Or might this be a bug?
Thanx for your reactions.
Marco

Hi,
Regarding the variable screen button needs two click to execute, you will have to apply SP07 Patch 20 for only below 5 BI Java components for BI Java 740.
For BI Java 730 , SP12 Patch 10 will solve this issue
For BI Java 731, SP12 Patch 20 will solve this issue
This will solve your issue.

Please make sure that you RESTART the Java server after applying the Patches.

11.1.1.6.4 Repository variables for DSN and USER do not work after upgrade

Hi,
The Repository Variables OLAP_DSN and OLAP_USER no longer work after upgrading to 11.1.1.6.4 i.e they return a connection error when trying to import metadata but the connection is correct if explicitly set without the variable used.
I have tried the following resolution:
- From command line execute commands to set variable properties via admintool.exe /command vartext.txt
Open rpdname user password
SetProperty "Variable" "OLAP_DSN" Initializer "'ORCL.GLOBAL'"
Save
Close
Exit
This script works fine as demonstrated by commenting out Save, Close, Exit and running. But it does not resolve the problem.
The issue is consistent as in the OLAP_USER variable does not work if DNS for connection pool set to ORCL.GLOBAL.
Is this a bug?
Thanks in advance

Recently i upgraded the DB from 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.1
Query:
1.If the type of that row is VARCHAR,why it is working in 10.2.0.4 and why not working in 11.2.0.1
2.after upgrade i analyzed the table with "analyze table " query for all AP,AR,GL,HR,BEN,APPS Schemas--Is it got impact if we run analyze table.
Please provide me the answer for above two questions or refer the document is also well enough to understand.Based on the Answer client will sigoff to-day.

the issue has already been identified: in oracle versions prior to 11, there was an implicit conversion of numbers to characters. your database has a character field which you are attempting to compare to a number.
i.e. the string '000001' is not in any way equivalent to the number 1. but Oracle 10 converts '000001' to a number because you are asking it to compare to the number you have provided.
version 11 doesn't do this anymore (and rightly so).
the issue is with the bad code design. you can either: use characters in the predicate (where field = 'parameter') or you can do a conversion of the field prior to comparing (where to_num(field) = parameter).
I would suggest that you should fix your code and don't assume that '000001' = 1I don't think that the above is completely correct, and a simple demonstration will show why. First, a simple table on Oracle Database 10.2.0.4:
CREATE TABLE T1(C1 VARCHAR2(20));
INSERT INTO T1 VALUES ('1');
INSERT INTO T1 VALUES ('0001');
COMMIT;A select from the above table, relying on implicit data type conversion:
SELECT
FROM
T1
WHERE
C1=1;
C1
1
0001Technically, the second row should not have been returned as an exact match. Why was it returned, let's take a look at the actual execution plan:
SELECT
FROM
TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY_CURSOR(NULL,NULL,NULL));
SQL_ID g6gvbpsgj1dvf, child number 0
SELECT   * FROM   T1 WHERE   C1=1

Predicate Information (identified by operation id):

Note
   - dynamic sampling used for this statementNotice that the VARCHAR2 column was converted to a NUMBER, so if there was any data in that column that could not be converted to a number (or NULL), we should receive an error (unless the bad rows are already removed due to another predicate in the WHERE clause). For example:
INSERT INTO T1 VALUES ('.0001.');
SELECT
FROM

The OP needs to determine if non-numeric data now exists in the column. Was the database characterset possibly changed during/after the upgrade?

Excessive Redo Generation After Upgrading on Oracle 10gR2

We had our production database hosted on Oracle 9.2.0. Few months back we have migrated it to Oracle 10.2.0.4.0.
After Migration I have noticed that redo generation has become very very high. In earlier case no. of log files generating in production hours were around 20 where as after migration it become around 200 files per day. I have run statspack report on this database. Statspack report is also saying that log file switch wait is become very high. Parameter timed_statistics has also been set to FALSE. Workload on the database is same before & after upgrade. Queries running in the sessions are also same before & after upgrade. All the parameters & memory structures are same after upgrade. Satatpack report is saying that db block change & disk write is become very high. I had used import export for upgrading the databases. Please provide a solution for this problem.
Thanks In advance for all your favours....

Error validating process flow VLD-10010 after upgrade from 9i to 11gR2

Upgraded OWB from 9i to 11g, and after upgrade all the process flows where throwing the below error while validating
VLD-10010: DIM_COUNTRY_UI's bound object DIM_COUNTRY_UI of type PLSQL Map has been deleted.
After synchronizing the mapping to itself, this error goes off, but synchroinzing in GUI for more than 300 mapping is huge task.
Anyway to sychronizing in bulk in OMBPlus?
Thank for help
