Oracle  9.2.0.1.0 to 10g Upgradation testing

Hi All,
We are upgrading our database from Oracle 9i to 10g.
Our development environment is Ascential Datastage ETL Tool
Our project has been already developed by some other team and now only database up gradation is happening.
Need some clarifications and solutions
1)     How we can get to know all these objects are properly upgraded
2)     What can be the best testing strategy for testing all these database objects like tables, functions, procedures , views, sequences etc. If any similar document has been prepared by any of the projects, please send to my mail id
3)     Is there anything we need to do change in any of the objects to make compatible with 10g. like any functions that has to be replaced or datatype mismatching etc …..
4)     The type of testing needs to be done for different database objects.

Anyone familiar with the way English is spoken in America, excluding one small enclave in North Carolina perhaps, should understand a couple of things:
1. I understand a bit of Hindi so I understood some of the background conversation while on the phone with the spammers.
2. The individuals speaking to me were as dumb as a bag of hammers.
Now according to Wikipedia the planet has about 370 million people who speak Hindi as a first language and another 580 who speak it as a second language. 950 million people minus two seems a reasonable ratio.
Anyone looking too hard to find an insult can likely find it looking at their own reflection in the mirror. Grow up and get over it folks.
BTW: Don ... you are the one that referred people to your website claiming it contained the list that you use. Taking you at face value it appears that your list does not include doing a backup. Perhaps you are so expert in the practice that you "understand" that but if you are going to refer novices to your site you need to offer them a complete list along with the ubiquitous advertising.
Anyone wanting my list can get it for free ... here it is:
1. Read the relevant Oracle documents
2. Go to metalink and research any problems others have had with the procedure
3. Create an RDA, zip it, and have it ready to upload to metalink
4. Perform a level 0 backup using RMAN
5. Verify the backup is valid and can be used for a restore
6. Start flashback logging if not already running
7. Create a guaranteed restore point
8. Follow the directions at Step 1 except as modified by docs read in Step 2.
Not one of those steps is in your list Don? And, quite frankly, I think people would be ill-advised to consider steps on what to do for "SLOW PERFORMANCE AFTER UPGRADE" any guidance on performing the upgrade itself.
But heck ... anytime you can send people to a page full of advertisements why miss the chance.
People interested in tuning would be well advised to go to one of these URLs:

  • Oracle DB copy from PRD system 10g to TEST system 11g

    Hi All,
    I have recently upgraded Oracle in the test system from 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.2. My Production system ran still with the old oracle version 10.2.0.4.
    Now I need to refresh the test system.
    Is that possible to be made at all, a database copy from production system (with old oracle version 10g) into test system (with the new version 11g) ?
    Thanks in advance for your reply.

  • Export from Oracle 8.0.2.0, Import to 10g

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a dump file from a Oracle 8.0.2.0 database. I am using the Oracle Data Manager Export wizard to do so. This dump needs to be imported to Oracle 10g. I have created a blank database in 10g with the same name as in 8.0.2 and I can open it in Enterprise Manager using SYS user. I tried "Import from Export files" from Enterprise manager 10g but it fails to import. Can someone please tell me if I am missing somethings here?

  • Collection of stats prior to 10g upgrade for dictionary tables

    Collection of stats prior to 10g upgrade for dictionary tables is required? I thought if you are upgrading from 9i to 10g the stats in 9i become stale in 10g.
    I read a document that says you need to collect stats prior to upgrade and import them once your upgrade is done. Can someone guide me?

    I don't know where did you get these? There's some optimizer improvement and new feature in 10g. Collecting stats before upgrade and import later is unheard of.
    I suggest you check this article

  • Heavu CPU Utilization of Dictionary Query - After 9i to 10g Upgrade

    Hi Friends,
    We have migrated our production DB from Oracle 9i(Windows) to Oracle 10g(AIX) and after that a heavy cpu utilization query is coming frequently and hence many timeouts are happening in the application.
    Application is connecting to the database through Java Application (JDBC).
    Once the application service is started, below query is invoked and CPU takes around 20% continuously.
    The interesting thing is this query is not owned by the application schema but by SYS and it's invoked from Application Schema.
    We have raised an SR but still no luck.
    Any help will be very much appreciated.

  • Datapump for 8i to 10g upgrade

    Is there any way to use the oracle 10g datapump to take an export of oracle 8i database and import it in 10g database.

    You will have to use the 8i exp utility to do the export. And because exp does not export into the same file format as data pump, you will have to use the 10g imp (not impdp) utility for the import into 10g

  • 10G upgrade exam

    Hi All,
    I am preparing for Oracle9i DBA OCPs to Oracle Database 10g upgrade exam 1Z0-040.
    If anyone have sample practice questions/dumps for the same kindly send me at [email protected]
    Thanks in Advanced,
    Bhupinder

    Earlier, there use to be some kind of test dumps available for 9i and other exams. What I heared from few people that they follow the same for 10g upgrade and they failed. Because, the pattern has changed and hardly a couple of questions have come. My recommendation would be read oracle docs for 10g new features, make practice and SYBEX 10g upgrade book might also helpfull.
    Just reading dump and appearing exam could lead you to pass exam, but, ultimately, gaining nothing. Make practice and appear for the exam.

    How can i obtain OCP Credential?
    Thanks & Regards,The first thing to note is that from your email I challenge you that you are not actually a 9i DBA OCP even though you are representing yourself as one.
    Can you confirm you have received a 9i DBA Certification Success Kit from Oracle?
    If the answer is yes you have received a success kit from Oracle:
    - all well and good (and accept my apologies).
    - Taking the 1z0-040 DBA 10g upgrade exam will get your Oracle 10g OCP Certification.
    If the answer is no, and you have merely passed 1z0-007+1z0-0031+1z0-032+1z0-033 then perhaps you need to re-read the certification agreement you agreed when you took your exams:
    1) Reference: [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=138]
    2) Reference: [http://www.oracle.com/global/us/education/downloads/certification/certagreement.pdf]
    In particular breach of * especially 3.2 (iii) * representing yourself as OCP when not could actually result in Oracle nullifying all your exam passes and OCA certification and possibily preventing you from taking further exams.
    My guess is you may have been through a WDP program and able to submit that as your 9i online course.
    Please note if you have not received a Certification Success Kit and have and/or have not taken a hands on course there is nothing stopping you taking 1z0-040 any time you can schedule a sitting. However under NO CIRCUMSTANCES can you represent yourself as an OCP without having received the success kit (or meeting all requirements) or the consequences can be considerable.

    Anyone know where to find a good souce for 10g upgrade cert exam (free or not)?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi, Also you can get technical information about the upgrade to 10g into Oracle Press books,
    http://www.oraclepressbooks.com/
    In fact, is recommended that you practice and get experience into the new version before that you take the exam, you should not study only the question for take the exam, in the real world you must use the concepts and experience for resolve the issues or problems.

  • Can we do oracle 11g software installation in parallel to SAP upgrade

    Hi Basis Expert,
    I need your inputs for one of this query
    The query is. Can we do oracle 11g software installation in parallel to SAP upgrade when the system is in Downtime phase.
    The idea is running SAP upgrade and in parallel running oracle 11g software installation. So that we can reduced the time.
    Please share your valuable inputs.
    Regards,

    yes, of course.
    using different environment during the installation of the new engine, you could install the new oracle home 11 also tomorrow (including the SBP).
    infact, before the ./RUNINSTALLER you have to set the environment
    setenv ORACLE_HOME /oracle/SID/112_64
    setenv ORACLE_HOME_SRC /oracle/SID/102_64
    setenv ORACLE_HOME_TGT /oracle/SID/11202

  • Call Oracle Reports from  Forms ver 9i or 10g

    Hi,
    Can somebody guide me, how to call Oracle Reports from the Oracle form 9i,
    Run_product is no more available into 9i & 10g, Run_report_object is not working with out put type "Screen" or "preview".
    What is the best way to call the reports from the form ??? pls help...
    Thanks in avdance.
    Jitesh ([email protected])

    You can use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT with CACHE type, and WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT to view the document on the screen.
    In the Forms help you should find examples.
    If you have access to Metalink, have a look at Note:207396.1.

  • Migrating Oracle forms and reports from 6i to 10g Application server on Uni

    HI Guys,
    We are migrating from Oracle forms and reports 6i to 10g.
    We will be having application server on Unix box.
    I understand following will be the changes i will have to do in this respect -
    1. Fonts are to be revisited only Java fonts are supported.
    2. Obsolete items, function calls, triggers are to be removed.
    My question is since this application can be cross platform application,
    Can anyone provide me with changes that I will have to do with configuration files like -
    1. Formsweb.cfg,
    2. forms.conf
    3. default.env
    4. registry.dat
    Keeping in mind that the application server will be on unix box.
    Thanks,
    Av.

    Java fonts are only supported for the Forms version.
    You can use your own fonts for Reports however, there is some legwork to do this. I know because I just went through it.
    If you will only being using the PDF output (which for me replaced the Preview mode that existed in 6i), then you have to install the TTF for the missing font, an AFM (use the ttf2pt1 utility to generate the AFM file, but make sure you remove the AFM extension when moving it to Unix). You'll want to use the PDF Subset in the uifont.ali (which exists under the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin directory and add the line underneath the PDF Subset "Font Family Name"="TTF Font Name" The font family name is found when you open the AFM file in textpad or wordpad for the font you generated. This is what you enter. The TTF Font Name is the name the TTF font. You'll have to restart Reports Server after this.
    If printing to the printer directly is an option you must have, I will tell you it does not work in Linux right now. You can print to the printer but if the font doesn't exist on the internal memory of the printer, it won't work. There are 3rd party utilities like ORARRP and PDFPrint that can take care of this but, each has its own limitations. The one thing I found with ORARRP is if you generate a Report with an RRPA file extension and open it on Windows, it works great, the printer dialog comes up asking you what printer you want to print too. However, if you call this in Linux/Unix with the filename, it brings it up in the web browser but doesn't prompt you for your printer to print too automatically. So, for me, it's a show stopper. My only other option is to install the fonts on the printer that are missing.
    As for the files you want to change, you'll obviously have to make changes to the formsweb.cfg, default.env, forms.conf. I have to modify the reports.sh for some PL/SQL attached libraries to make sure it picks them up. I did have to modify Registry.dat.
    There is alot of work but mainly forms wasn't too bad, unless you had fonts that weren't supported. Usually there is another font that you can use to replace the old one but you have to know which fonts exists on the server and try all the keys on the keyboard to find the corresponding keystroke.
    Hope this helps.
    Chris
