Oracle 9i upgrade to 10g

Hi
I upgraded sap(SRM) oracle from 9.2.0.8.0 - 64bit Production (AIX) system to oracle 10.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production by referring document guide: GUIDE_UX_ORA_UPGRADE_210, completed postupgrade activity,
Database is running very fine , could not able to connect the database through SAP, when R3trans -d command executed it gives the following error
RISRCOM5701:psmadm 3> R3trans -d
This is R3trans version 6.13 (release 640 - 07.01.08 - 14:25:00).
2EETW169 no connect possible: "DBMS = ORACLE --- dbs_ora_tnsname
= 'PSM'"
R3trans finished (0012).
RISRCOM5701:psmadm 4>
Regards,
Harish Shetty

4 ETW000 R3trans version 6.13 (release 640 - 07.01.08 - 14:25:00).

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

Oracle 9i Upgrade to 10g - Single Database instances to RAC

Hi,
We are considering migrating from single SAP database architecture into
an Oracle 10g RAC architecture. The question i have is:
Are multiple PHYSICAL databases supported in one Oracle 10g RAC environment? For example, Is it possible to install and operate multiple databases in one single ORACLE 10g Real Application Cluster such as one SAP R/3 database, one SAP EBP and one
SAP BW database co-exist in a single Oracle RAC environment?
Regards,
Chengappa Ballachanda

Hi Sairam,
Due to the size of our Production environments we have decided not to pursue the MCOD option.
Eg: Take a QA environment which consists of SRM and BW and we have multiple nodes with both installed on each node. Now if I were to go the MCOD option then these instances can connect to one large Oracle File System using different schema's.
What I'm trying to establish is in that one RAC, is it possible to have the multiple database instances on each node (SRM, BW etc) connect to multiple Oracle File Systems ie SRM connect to its own OFS and BW to its own instead of the one large shared OFS?
Hope this makes sense! Easier if I could upload a diagram!
Regards,
Chengappa

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 to 10g

Ihi Guys
I am in the process of Oracle database upgrade.
Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g(10.2.0.4)
SAP: 4.70, Windows 2000
DB have been installed and now need to apply the patch to level 4(10.2.0.4).
In the Oracle documentaion for Oracle Patches, i can see sectioon 7.1 and section 7.2 talks about .
7.1 Review Known Preinstallation Issues
Review the information in the following sections. If any of the issues apply to the Oracle installation, follow the instructions before installing the patch set.
Upgrading Oracle E-Business Suite Databases
Upgrading Installations that use Physical or Logical Standby Databases
Upgrading Installations that use Java Virtual Machine or Oracle interMedia
Upgrading Oracle Clusterware
Notes to Oracle OLAP Users
Disabling Oracle Database Vault
7.2 Identify the Oracle Database Installation
This is not a complete software distribution. You must install it in an existing Oracle Database 10g Oracle home. To identify Oracle home directories, view the/etc/oratab file.Use Oracle Universal Installer to identify Oracle home directories. From the Welcome screen, click Installed Products, then click the Environment tab. You should then cross-check this by executing
opatch lsinventory -all
Do we have to perform these activities as well, or we can ignore these steps and continue with next steps onward?
Regards

Hello Ricky,
> Upgrading Oracle E-Business Suite Databases
Not needed.
> Upgrading Installations that use Physical or Logical Standby Databases
Only needed if you have a standby database for your productive database. Standby databases can be maintained/created with Oracle Data Guard or manually.
> Upgrading Installations that use Java Virtual Machine or Oracle interMedia
Not used in a standard SAP environment
> Upgrading Oracle Clusterware
Only needed if you use Oracle RAC
> Notes to Oracle OLAP Users
You have an OLTP.. not an OLAP
> Disabling Oracle Database Vault
Not used in a standard SAP environment (pilot phase)
> 7.2 Identify the Oracle Database Installation
You should perform these step and check it.

Upgrading Oracle 7.3 to 10g

Hello All,
We are planning to upgrade Oracle 7.3 to 10 g.
Is any one know what is hardware requirements for 10g on Sun Solaris or other UNIX System?
What we have Currently is as follows:
Operating System, SUN Solaris 5.5.1
For Production:
SUN Microsystems E450
2 X UltraSPARC-II 400MHz
1GB RAM
12 X 4.2GB hard-drives
Stagging
SUN Microsystems ULTRA2
UltraSPARC 200MHz
128MB RAM
3 X 9.0GB hard-drives
any feed back will be appreciated.
D

The referenced document refers to two methods of accomplishing the upgrade. One is to use the upgrade utility and the other is to manually execute the upgrade scripts. There is, however, a third way that is much easier and that gives you immediate access to all of the new features of the 10g database.
Both of the methods described in the document, which you should read no matter what you do, perform all of the upgrade changes to the existing database. This is why you cannot go directly from 7.3.4 to 10g. The scripts that are behind the process just will not run successfully in a 7.3.4 database. As a result, you would have to upgrade to 8.0.6 and then to 10g. This is the "supported" path, but you do not have to follow this path to achieve a successful upgrade.
The third upgrade scenario is to create a new 10g database using scripts that you have written that utilize all of the various new features that you would like to use such as locally managed tablespaces and undo management. Once this has been created and tuned up a bit, you would perform an export/import to get your application's code and data from the old database to the new.
In our enterprise, we have over 450 databases, and we just could not afford to take the time to follow the "supported" path. It would have taken too long, and we had only a few days to convert 272 of these with more time for the rest. As a result, we built our own create scripts for the new databases, ran those in advance of our worldwide deployment date, and then we used the export and import tools to move our application code and data. This was a lot easier than the "official" method, and it works.
The advantage to this approach is that it is straightforward and does not involve Oracle's upgrade tools which many have had problems using. The disadvantage is that you really have to know what you are doing. If you are not an experienced DBA, you may not have the wherewithal to successfully execute this method.
Kind regards,
Russ Cannon

Oracle upgradation to 10g

Hello all,
Whether i need to check the BI system before going for Oracle upgrade to 10g. As we have taken sys copy from BIP to BI test server. Now we are planning to upgrade oracle 9i to 10 g. Please suggest.
amit

As part of a project implementation you shoudl have test scripts developed by your implementation team
They are not generic and shoudl be in your documentation handed over.
I cant give you a link because they are sitting on my server and apply to my project
If you havent got any test scripts then you will have to generate them from scratch - and these can be used for all other upgrades - and yes they cost a fortune in man hours to write
Examples are:
Listcube
Open Hub
SPRO tables
Multiprovider checks
Aggregate update
Process Chains
Transport Checks
Foreign Character check
Role Access
Creating queries
Creating variants
Superuser checks
Variable checks
RSRV checks
Run under Citrix
SQL checks
etc

Oracle Database Upgradation 10g to 11g in HP unix

Kindly furnish the good links and screen shot documents.
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

After Upgrade OBI 10g to 11g:Odbc driver returned an error - SQLExecDirectW

Hi all,
for an OBI upgrade from 10g to 11g I used a RPD and Webcatalog based on a remote machine other than my local machine. Firstable I am making the tests on a Linux Virtual machine, which uses the Sample Lite version from Oracle.
I made the following steps:
1. I upgraded the RPD and Webcatalog. It worked without any errors.
2. I set the static variable BI_EE_HOME via Administration Tool to the path in the Linux machine.
--> Here I am not sure if the set path is correct. It begins with: \bi\ ...\instances\...\coreapplication_obis1 (... : I can't mention here the whole path name).
--> When the OBI Server is installed in Windows, the mentioned static variable points to something like 'C:\<install folder>\...\coreapplication_obis1'
--> Question: is the begin of my set path correct?. I set that pointing to the Linux OBI Server, because the OBI Server is installed on Linux.
Problem:
After login as the user in RPD: Administrator/<Password for my upgraded RPD> I can see the links in the Catalog and the Dashboards links. But I can not see any values, any Reports when going through the links.
For example when trying to see a Dashboard with date 12.02.2011it happens:
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Status: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] general error.
[nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS.
[nQSError: 43119] Query Failed:
[nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 12154, message: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
at OCI call OCIServerAttach.
[nQSError: 17014] Could not connect to Oracle database. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT "Dimension_-_My Dimension"."MyDimension" saw_0 FROM "Accounting (ACC)" WHERE "Dimension_-_My Dimension"."MyDimension" LIKE 'J%' ORDER BY saw_0
I think its not retrieving the data from the remote database, because I don't have the data of the remote database in my local. I think the OBI Server still is pointing to the local virtual machine Oracle database.
Can anybody tell me what happens here and how can I solve this problem?.
I would appreciate any help....

Hi gerardnico,
I've tried many things and did as in your articles, but I don't have success with that.
These are the things I did:
1. I searched for the file tnsnames.ora in my Linux virtual machine. I could find it in many paths:
/.../Oracle_BI1/network/admin/samples/tnsnames.ora
/.../oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/hs/admin/tnsnames.ora.sample
/.../oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
/.../oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin/samples/tnsnames.ora
/.../oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin/temp/tnsnames.ora
/.../usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin
in the last path I found the listener.ora as well.
2. I took the tnsnames.ora from the last path, because the ORACLE_HOME points to /.../usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server
3. I edited the tnsnames.ora this way:
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File:
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host_of_the_remote_machine)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = database_name_of_the_remote_machine)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = database_SID_of_the_remote_machine)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
4. I made a backup of the tnsnames.ora in path /.../Oracle_BI1/network/admin/samples/tnsnames.ora
and copied the tnsnames.ora from /.../usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin to the Oracle_BI1 path
5. I set the TNS_ADMIN to /.../usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin
6. I restarted the BI Server
No success in what I did. The error is still there.
7. I've tried also: sqlplus database_user_remote_machine/database_password_remote_machine@database_SID_remote_machine
I didn't get the connection:
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Thu Jun 16 04:36:10 2011

What am I doing wrong here?. I am still thinking that I need the import of the database.
Additional SID=Service-Name=Database-name in the remote machine.

Requirement to upgrade OBIEE 10g on Windows to OBIEE 11g on Linux

Dear All,
I have a requirement to upgrade OBIEE 10g from current windows 2003 environment to OBIEE 11g Linux environment.
I went through forums and many threads on upgrade, everywhere they talk about Upgrade Assistant (UA). And oracle documentation says ,
+"Do not change from one platform or architecture to a different platform or architecture as part of the upgrade process.+
+For example, if the existing 10g system is running on a Windows 32-bit platform, do not install Oracle BI 11g on a Linux 64-bit platform and then run the Linux 64-bit Upgrade Assistant to upgrade the existing 10g system."+
But there would certainly be scenarios with other users the way I have. Then what is the way out to do this upgrade?
Can anyone give some advice on this. It is little urgent.
Thanking in advance.
Regards,
Deepika.

Thats are huge change in platform. win32 to linux 64.
Yet what we upgrade is only
catalog and rpd.
this might involve some manual change if UA cannot complete successfully.
Its better to do a prototype before the actual upgrade as recommended by Oracle. This will show what can the possible issues and road blocks.
