Oracle 11.2.0.3.0 Database Upgrade changes DATA_PUMP_DIR

Along with existing RMAN backups we do Exports - of our DB using and OS User and Oracle Wallet.
Of the DB's we have upgraded the Data Pump Directory
Select * from dba_directories; (there are other commands to get this info as well).
I captured screens from the DBUA upgrades, but did not see an option to change this information.
Is there a way to feed this information to the install moving forward. IE, ./DBUA -silent ?
Also, anyone tracked the percentage of storage increase from 10.2/11.1 to 11.2.
All the ones we did grew, so be aware.
Thanks in advance!

Are you stating that the upgrade process is changing or resetting data in DBA_DIRECTORIES ? It should not - if you have documented this experience, pl report it to Support - it may be a known bug or a new one.
The increase in size of the database should only be restricted to SYSTEM and SYSAUX tablespaces (and possibly TEMP and UNDO), but user tablespaces should see no increase.

  • Oracle Database upgrade to 11G (Host_Command Issues)

    Sorry I'm posting this again. Original post in Database - Upgrade. I'm not getting a lot of clicks in that category
    We recently upgraded to Oracle 11g (Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production). Our PL/SQL release: (PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production). We use a lot of host commands inside our PL/SQL stored procedures. One of these included fetching data from an external server and pushing the data into Oracle Tables.
    Most of this process is running fine, except the execution never completes. There is no issue data wise. It's just that the Host_command doesn't receive the completion status and seems to be running even though there's nothing going on in the background.
    The Oracle e-business suite's concurrent program based on this stored proc also never completes, though it doesn't do anything in the background. For testing purpose, our DBA used 2 insert statements one before and one after the host_command. The insert before the host_command worked but not the one after. Please help! This is happening after we upgraded to 11g 3 weeks ago!
    Thanks, Naveen Gagadam.

    Pl do not post duplicates - Upgrade to 11g, Host Command Inside Stored Proc doesn't end.

  • Database Upgrade Agent not working for upgrading Oracle 9i DB to Oracle 10i

    Hi All,
    Presently I have completed my Oracle 10i installation on Solaris Server but I am facing an issue during the upgrade process of Oracle 9i to 10g. Whenever I try to upgrade the 9i databases to 10g using DBUA(Database Upgrade assistant) I am facing an issue that Data base not running from oracle home or pfile not found. The exact error message says:-
    The upgrade assistant failed in bringing up the database XIPCOTS. Oracle Home /opt/apps/home/oracle9i/product/releases/92/92 obtained from file /var/opt/oracle/oratab was used to connect to the database. Either the database is not running from Oracle Home /opt/apps/home/oracle9i/product/releases/92/92 or the correct Initialisation parameter file (pfile) was not found. To start the database , Oracle needs the pfile. Provide the full path name of the init file for the database XIPCOTS.
    In reality the XIPCOTS database is running fine in Oracle 9i and we can connect it using PL/SQL developer in windows.I have also provided the path of pfile but it is still not accepting the same.
    Path of pfile I provided :- /XIP/ofaroot/XIPCOTS/pfile/initXIPCOTS.ora
    Any help or suggestions would be greately appreciated.
    Our both Oracle 9i and 10g are installed on same Solaris server where solaris version is 9
    Installation path for 9i :- /opt/apps/home/oracle9i/product/releases/92/92
    Installation path for 10g :- /opt/apps/home/oracle/product/releases/10201
    Oracle 9i version :- 9.2.0.7
    Oracle 10g version :- 10.2.01
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,
    Gourav Banerjee

    Can you please mention the specific folder name under oracle home where we need to put this pfile because there are two folder dbs and ds I have allready tried putting it inside dbs its not working. And my home path is correct I hope and is set for oracle 9i directories in the .oraenv file do we need to set it for oracle 10g before the DBUA upgrade.

    Edited by: user11937849 on Apr 9, 2012 4:04 AM

    As part of the upgrade, you might research how new Oracle 11g features can help your system run better.
    Your upgraded system can effectively start using extended statistics, a very powerful new 11g feature, immediately after the upgrade. I have a detailed blog post on how to do this with OEM - http://iiotzov.wordpress.com/2011/11/01/get-the-max-of-oracle-11gr2-right-from-the-start-create-relevant-extended-statistics-as-a-part-of-the-upgrade

  • Database upgrade to 10.2.0.4 error - oracle RAC status showing Invalid

    Hi all,
    I am getting this error during database upgrade to 10.2.0.4 error - "oracle real application clusters status invalid. "
    I am getting the above error after running catupgrd
    and checking the status SELECT COMP_NAME, VERSION, STATUS FROM SYS.DBA_REGISTRY;
    This is not a RAC database and this is the only components which shows INVALID.
    Is it normal? Please advice me the action/steps to take to rectify ASAP as it is urgent ... Thanks & Regards, Deepak Gupta

    Probably database was 9i and it was upgraded to 10g?
    It can be normal situation.
    Please check metalink note 312071.1
    If database is not rac, then simply ignore this status as workaround is quite difficult and definetely it's not worth to go for it.

  • Oracle Database upgrade from 10g R2 to 11g R2

    Dear Oracle Experts,
    Currently we I have three database on Oracle 10g(10.2.0.5) in same oracle home and want to upgrade only one database out of three.
    Can you please advise if I can upgrade only one database instance(out of three database, same oracle home) and my two other database will run on 10g ? and can you please share steps also for the same
    Best Regards
    Farookh

    Hi,
    As Harry pointed out already, it's definitely possible and a good idea actually. By installing a new Oracle home you can easily revert back to the 10g one if you need to. It keeps everything separate and makes it cleaner.
    I would recommend reading the Oracle docs. DK2010 has written them down here:
    upgrade the database version 10.2.0.1.0
    I made some notes on how to upgrade your database from 10g to 11g over on my site, they are the exact steps I used. It might help you to have a read through them but you should definitely read the Oracle docs and make sure everything you need for your environment is covered before upgrading. [url http://www.ora00600.com/wordpress/articles/oracle-10g-to-11g-upgrade-guide/]Here are my notes.
    Hope that helps,
    Rob

  • Forms HOST command no longer works after database upgrade from 10g to 11g

    Hi,
    After upgrading the database 10g to 11g the forms HOST command no longer works on Unix server. The form used to work fine prior the upgrade. I read all the threads I could find and did not see any solutions. Adding PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not work because it does not even run a basic shell script. (I saw this solution, adding PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, in many questions / threads).
    1. I wouldn't expect the database upgrade to be an issue, but it is the only change we had.
    2. Note, 11g is Oracle Fusion Middleware which is quite a bit different than 10g.
    I even tried the most basic commands like "echo" which is a build-in Unix command and there is no directory for it (ie. no /usr/bin - so variable PATH is irrelvent). i.e HOST('echo hi'); and HOST('echo "hi" '); and even HOST ('echo hi > /my_file.txt'); all returns FORMS_FAILURE (actually the if is IF FORM_SUCCESS THEN ... else ... and the else part always runs now - whereas it didn't before.).
    Or basic commands like /usr/bin/ls as in HOST(/usr/bin/ls). At that point I was just testing the Unix command would return FORM_SUCCESS even though I could not see the results (because they weren't writing to a log file). Notice that I'm using the direct path /usr/bin so no Unix environment variables were needed.
    The form does use webutil but that part works. For example, we have webutil_file_transfer( ....) The file shows up on the application server and in the expected directory.
    Here's the main goal. Upload a file from clients local PC to the datebase server. The form uploads the file to the Application server, then we have a Unix script to scp (secure copy) the file from the application server to the database server. IF webutil, or any other Oracle functions could put the file on the database server that would be better. But, I don't know of any procedures that do that - or would have done it cleanly (i.e. storing to database and write back to server and then using a blob etc. )
    Anyway, I was hoping someone would help with either of these.
    1) Get the HOST command to work. - If we can get that to work then I wouldn't need any more help. We can just call the already existing Unix script to copy the file from the application server to the database.
    2) OR be able to upload directly to the database server - wanted to do that originally
    Any help would be appreciated

    Applies To: Oracle Forms - Version 11.1.1.1.0 and later
    Sun SPARC Sun OS
    Symptoms:
    When trying to execute a Shell script or any OS command using the host() Built-in from Forms 11g, the host()command is not getting executed. The same functionality works on other operating systems and in previous versions like 10gR2.
    Steps to be followed:
    1) Take a backup and edit the $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/WLS_FORMS/applications/formsapp_11.1.1/config/default.env or any custom environment file.
    2) Locate the following environment variable:
    LD_PRELOAD=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
    3) Comment out this variable. After the changes, it will look like the following:
    #LD_PRELOAD=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
    3) a) Instead of LD_PRELOAD, kindly use LD_PRELOAD_64 as given below :
    LD_PRELOAD_64=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
    (This makes HOST AND RUN_REPORT_OBJECT work fine).
    4) Save the file and execute your forms. The Host() built-in will work as expected
    The LD_PRELOAD setting in default.env is only required for the working of signal chaining facility in JVM version 1.5 and later. If you are not using theSignal chaining facility, this variable is not required. For more information, refer to the following documentation

  • 11.5.10.2 12.1.1 and 10g 11g database upgrade at same time

    I have just started an 11.5.10.2 > 12.1.1 upgrade and have created a project in MWIZ 2.15 for it.
    I would also like to upgrade the 10.2.0.2 database to 11.1.0.7 as part of the same upgrade and create an MWIZ project for that.
    I have a couple of questions that the MWIZ FAQ does not address:
    1. At what point in the 11.5.10.2 > 12.1.1 upgrade should I do the database upgrade?
    MWIZ has two points when it can be done based on apps/database versions. One is at the end of the 'Prep for Upgrade' category and the other is during the 'Upg to Rel 12.1.1' category. The MWIZ step notes cover upgrading to the latest 10g or 11g patch version but not upgrading from 10g to 11g so I am unsure which category to go for.
    2. When I create the database upgrade project which 'Destination Version' should I choose?
    The two options are 'RDBMS 11.1 and E-Business Suite 11.5' and 'RDBMS 11.1 and E-Business Suite 12'.
    As I haven't upgraded to R12 yet and am still at the pre-upgrade stage should I pick 11.5? Or should I go with R12 because I am upgrading Apps and the database at the same time?
    Any help and advice gratefully received.
    Thanks

    Answer to above question not required now as:
    Having read the 24th December update of note 761570.1 - 'Database Preparation Guidelines for an Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 Upgrade' I have decided to upgrade the database to 11.2.0.x by following the Path C option.
    Unfortunately as the 11.2.0.x upgrade isn't covered by MWIZ yet I will have to follow the manual steps.

  • Help needed in 10gR2 to 11gR2 EBS Database Upgrade

    Hi,
    I am upgrading EBS Database from 10gR2 (10.2.0.3) to 11gR2 11.2.0.3. While going through Oracle Note Complete Checklist for Manual Upgrades to 11gR2 [ID 837570.1], under the point 3 of "Recommendations from Source database" it says:
    "Disable the custom triggers that would fire before/after DDL and enable them after the upgrade is complete."
    I want to know is it compulsory to disable the custom triggers? If yes then how can I get the list of those custom triggers and disable/enable them before and after the database upgrade?
    Please let me know the commands. My operating system is Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.8.
    Thanks,
    Abdul

    Hi Srini,
    Thanks for the docs.
    EBS version is R12 (12.0.6) and 10gR2 (10.2.0.3).
    Currently I am only upgrading EBS Database from 10gR2 (10.2.0.3) to 11gR2 (11.2.0.3) and want to use it with my current R12 version.
    Currently I am following these Oracle notes:
    - Complete Checklist for Manual Upgrades to 11gR2 [ID 837570.1]
    - Interoperability Notes EBS 12.0 and 12.1 with Database 11gR2 [ID 1058763.1]
    I hope I am on the right track?
    Regards,
    Abdul

  • Testing while doing the database upgrade from 9.2.0.6 to 11.2.0.2 apps ?

    Dear Experts,
    Please note that we are in process of doing database upgrade from 9.2.0.6 to 11.2.0.2 ?
    We have gone through the interoperablity note id for 11i 11gr2 ?
    Step 1
    upgrading the database from 9.2.0.6 to 9.2.0.8 ?
    Step 2-
    Upgrading the Forms patchset to 19 ?
    Step-3
    Applying the Rollup-6 patch ?
    Step -4
    Upgrading the database from 9.2.0.8 to 11.2.0.2 ?
    We would like to know whether after each step do we have to do any kind of testing on the Oracle Application Instance and the database?
    Please advise.
    Regards
    Mohammed.

    We would like to know whether after each step do we have to do any kind of testing on the Oracle Application Instance and the database?There is no such a list. However, you can refer to the documents referenced in each task above and it should cover if any testing need to be done or not (for example, the Developer Patchset doc). For the rest of the docs you will have to do your regular testing (test the application/database and make sure it is working properly).
    Also, make sure you review (Known issues on Top of 11i.ATG_PF.H. delta.6 (RUP6) - 5903765 [ID 459353.1]).
    ATG RUP 7 is the latest 11i.ATG_PF patch.
