Oracle 10g OLAP to 11g OLAP upgrade ?

We currently are planning on a upgrade from 10g OLAP => 11g OLAP. We currently have 12 AWM's in 10g OLAP which we need to move over with associated DML programs and additional SQL reporting views.
Questions:
1. Is there any documentation available on necessary steps for 10g OLAP => 11g OLAP upgrade?
2. What would happen to existing AWM's prepared in 10g, would they be migrated to 11g transparently or have to be re-created?
3. Is there any specific documentation related to changes in way cube builds are done programatically?
4. Any changes in the way limit maps work in 11g?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Sudip

Migrating a 10g cube to 11g depends on whether you are talking about 11gR1 or 11gR2. 10g cubes continue to operate in the "10g way" even after a database upgrade. They will not become "11g cubes" until they are rebuilt after the database upgrade. In 11gR2, there is a supported way to migrate 10g cubes to 11g cubes, both with AWM and with PL/SQL. Sorry to say... this functionality doesn't exist in 11gR1: you'll have to rebuild your cubes from the ground up.
The SQL relational views built using the AWM plugin in 10g are no longer applicable in 11g. That's because OLAP cubes in 11g are registered in the oracle data dictionary (just like other Oracle objects), and the SQL relational views are managed in the database and a recognized part of the product. The SQL relational views are quite different in 11g, so you will likely have to rewrite queries against them.
LIMIT map syntax is the same, but performance is much better.

Oracle 10g RAC to 11g RAC Upgrade on Solaris

Hi,
We are planning to do a migration of a 4 Node Oracle 10g RAC on Solaris 9 to 11g with Solaris 10. We'd like know what would be the best path to take. We cannot afford any downtime!
Options: Are these feasible? Which option is best? Any documents links?
a) Do a rolling upgrade of Oracle from 10g to 11g. Then take down individual nodes and upgrade the Solaris OS from 9 to 10 and bring them up back into the cluster. Is there any known issues taking this path? Is a rolling upgrade like this possible?
b) Do an upgrade of the Solaris OS from 9 to 10 on each node and then bring them back up? Is this practical? Does Oracle allow different versions of OS running on different nodes?
c) Use Dataguard with 2 different RAC environments (2 nodes each). How would this work? Is it the only possible way? Any steps please?
Thanks

a) Do a rolling upgrade of Oracle from 10g to 11g. Then take down individual nodes and upgrade the Solaris OS from 9 to 10 and bring them up back into the cluster. Is there any known issues taking this path? Is a rolling upgrade like this possible?Hi,
first of all i would not change several components (OS, database version) at a time. My recommendation is to make small steps and start with the operating system first. Seconds recommendation is to test and test everything in your dev or test environment prior doing the upgrades in the productive environment. Trust me: You will face problems :-) So you better try it beforehand!
b) Do an upgrade of the Solaris OS from 9 to 10 on each node and then bring them back up? Is this practical? Does Oracle allow different versions of OS running on different nodes?As far i know you can run different operating system versions on different nodes if they are supported (Solaris 9 and 10 are).

Oracle 10g XE to 11g XE upgrade: gen_inst.sql does nothing.

I am trying to upgrade from 10gXE to 11gXE;
I logon to SQL Plus "conn sys as sysdba", and execute the gen_inst.sql procedure.
Quote: Connect to 10.2 XE database as SYS user and run gen_inst.sql. This will generate install.sql, gen_apps.sql and other .sql files. The files will be generated in the folder containing gen_inst.sql. End Quote.
However the procedure completes immediately, and does not generate any of the files described.
If I execute @(folder path)\fred.sql (where fred.sql does not exist, I get a message that the sql proc is not found, so I know that it finds the procedure when I try and execute it.
The following is a copy of the command window.

I might just be a problem with spooling result files to the wrong location or calling them with the wrong path, because the script anticipates to have everything in the same local path...Interesting point, and definitely worth a try.
The quote part in op, from relevant doc section, seem to say differently. Looking through the script it would seem that files are actually spooled in working path (e.g. current dir when sqlplus is started) instead of folder where script exists.
"The files will be generated in the folder containing gen_inst.sql."
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18802/toc.htm#CIHCDCDH
I think file permissions should be considered still, if on Win 7 (or other OS with some level of least privilege policy implementation).
Edit:
A small test on windows platform showed that files are output in cwd from where sqlplus is started and also that saving files in c:\temp worked fine.

Migeration from oracle 10g r2 to 11g r2

hi All,
i have a test database(Oracle 10g R2) in windows XP platform. now i have to migerate it to oracle 11g R2 . Can any one tell me how should i proceed it? it will be very apreciable if any one give me step by step procedure to do the same.
Thanks and regards in advance
Vikash Jain (DBA Trainee)

Hello,
so for upgrading i should install oracle 11g? Yes you have to install Oracle 11.2 first. You may have to modify the configuration of the Server according to the prerequisites.
You'll find all the details on the Installation Guides for your platform:
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/portal.portal_db?selected=11&frame=
how it is possible without using import/export/datapump utilities?If you don't want to use Export/Import, you may use DBUA (the Database Upgrade Assistant) or Manual method. You'll have more informations on the links below:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17222/preup.htm#i694345
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17222/upgrade.htm#i1011372
Hope this help.
Best regards,

Oracle 10g client with 11g ODBC.

We have the Oracle 10g client on users PCs to use the 10g ODBC to connect to a 10g (10.2.0.4.0) database. Now we are upgrading to an Oracle 11g database, 11.2.0.3.0. Is it possible to install the 11g ODBC drivers onto the users PCs without installing the full Oracle 11g client?

Unless you want to go down the Instant Client path, no.
However, there is probably no need to do anything to the clients. Any version of the 10g client should have no difficulty communicating with an 11.2 database. There is likely no need to upgrade the existing clients when the database is upgraded. The only exception would be if your application is trying to use some 11.2 feature that requires changes on the client to support-- those are pretty rare in this instance.
You may want to roll out 11.2 clients on new machines as they come online but that's likely about all that you need to do.

Oracle discoverer olap and 11g olap

Does anyone know if i can use disco plus olap against an 11g database cube. currently with my patch level it definately doesn't work as i cantwven select a catalog to report on but if i add patches will it work? and is it certified?
i have read the following and it still isn't clear
Doc ID: 808276.1
and
Doc ID: 727948.1
please help
Thanks

Oracle makes it a general policy not to announce things in future releases, even bug fixes, without due approval from senior management. This puts Oracle developers in the unfortunate position of not being able to pass on information in forums like this, which is why you are not able to get a straight answer to your very reasonable question.
It is true that full support and certification for D4O and the Excel Add-In did not make the 11.1 release. This was for two reasons.
(1) On the OLAP Option side there were so many changes to the metadata layer in 11.1 that there simply was not time to fix all the bugs. As I said earlier, D4O basically works against 11.1, but the OLAP group did feel confidence in its stability and performance. I can say that many D4O related OLAP bugs were logged and targeted for 11.2 and that stability and quality is the number one goal for the 11.2 OLAP release.
(2) The teams that worked on Discoverer classic, Discoverer for OLAP, and the Excel Add-In were moved on to new projects following the acquisition of Siebel. You can see the statement of direction here .
Of these clearly the latter is the bigger problem. Oracle OLAP itself is committed to maintaining support for existing interfaces and the OLAP API (used by D4O) has not been deprecated. In fact it was the basis of much of the work in 11g.

Upgrading to Oracle 10g for R/3 4.5B

Hello All,
One of the businesses we support is running SAP R/3 4.5B on Oracle 9.2.0.6. The kernel details are:
SAP R/3 Kernel information:
SAP R/3 Kernel          45B
Database version        OCI_80500_SHARED
created in                  SunOS 5.5.1 Generic_103640-19 sun4u
Patch level                 972
Is there a path to upgrade the database to 10g with this R/3 release without SAP upgrade?
All information will be useful.
Many Thanks,
Nisch

Nisch,
also, please note the excerpt below taken from note 819655 (please check it for an updated version):
Oracle Version
For general information regarding the support of Oracle version 10.2, see Note 720886 .
Even though Oracle 10 will not be generally certified for SAP systems with Releases 3.1I up to 4.6B, it is fully supported to upgrade these systems to Oracle 10.2 prior to the SAP upgrade or prior to the PREPARE phase of the upgrade.
The system can run with this setup for weeks with full support. This procedure was tested in the SAP-internal upgrade validation phase. However, you will encounter limitations in the field of database monitors and you cannot copy such a system to a target system running on Oracle 10g. From a business application perspective, you can use the system without any limitations.
Double Stack systems: When you upgrade the SAP J2EE Engine from NW ´04 to NW2004s, you must apply at least Support Package 12 of the SAP J2EE Engine before the upgrade to Oracle 10.
Also, note 868681 confirms the above, i.e..:
"SAP Systems 31I - 45B
The transports included within this note are not relevant for SAP releases 31I - 45B. These systems (31I - 45B) have to be upgraded to Oracle 10.x during preparations for the SAP Upgrade (release 700).
The monitoring transactions such as DB02 may not work correctly in these systems after upgrade to Oracle 10.x. However there is NO IMPACT on any of the business transactions."
Meaning, that if you upgrade your 4.5b system to Oracle 10g outside of a SAP upgrade project, you may find yourself running an unsupported installation.

JC

Installing Oracle 11g over Oracle 10g

My computer already has Oracle 10g. If I would like to install 11g on it. Do I need to uninstall oracle 10g before installing 11g?
Thanks

You don't have to uninstall 10g but remember to install 11g into different ORACLE_HOME than 10g installation.

Is it possible to upgrade only apache in oracle 10g application server.

Hi All,
I have to upgrade only apache in oracle 10g application server with out upgrading oracle 10g as.
Is it possibel to upgrade only apache version in oracle 10g application server. if yes.could you suggest the steps that i need to follow.
This is very urgent.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sathya

If your trying to upgrade just apache in that oracle home, then no. If your trying to upgrade to a real apache version, from apache.org, mod_oc4j won't work. You need to use Oracle's version of Apache or HTTP Server.
Is there a reason you only want to upgrade Apache and not the whole oracle home?
There are ways to do it, but it wouldn't be supported by Oracle and I wouldn't recommend that either.

Welcome to the forums !
This issue has been discussed many times before. Pl use the search feature. The only versions supported in Win 7 (Professional or higher) are 10.2.0.5 and 11gR2. 10.2.0.5 is only available on My Oracle Support, while 11gR2 can be downloaded for free from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html

Oracle 10g OLAP option

Hi all
Do we support creating a universe against an Oracle 10g OLAP database and how do we do this to report against OLAP data?
I notice that there isn't an OLAP universe option for this, so I presume that if we can then we do this via OLAP SQL expressions?
Thank you for your help and kind regards,
Deam

Hi,
You are right, we are supporting Oracle OLAP 10g using SQL.
In fact we provide an option in Universe Designer where you can automatically create an Oracle view based on an AW (Analytical Workspace) and then generate the universe:<ul><li>Select "Metadata exchange" menu option from "File" menu
<li>Then select "Oracle OLAP 9i/10G/11g" option
</ul>You can therefore customize the universe by adding objects, filters, measures, etc.
You can also add other tables in the scema in order to provide drill-though capabilities.

Didier
