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 database upgrade from express edition to standard edition

We purchased Oracle database 11g to upgrade our current primavera oracle database express edition (10g).When we are trying to upgrade through DBUA it getting error message
Please provide us a proper advise to solve this issue.

As noted by orafad, the easiest approach would be to perform a full export from 10gR2, install 11gR2 into a new ORACLE_HOME, create an empty 11gR2 database, then perform a full import into 11gR2. As also noted, you will have to follow any special directions related to Primavera.

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

Solution for those interested and for anyone else searching this forum for a solution
I found this on My Oracle Support:
<h3>Host Command from Forms Not Working in 11g in Sun Solaris Sparc OS [ID 1157346.1]</h3>
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

OAS- Oracle Application Server Lite [Forms and Reports Service]- Version 10.1.2.0.2 .
No plans to change the development tools:
O/S- Windows XP SP2
Oracle Forms and Reports - (32Bit) Version 10.1.2.0.2 .
Has anyone encountered any gotchas/compatibility issues we should be aware of ?
Many thanks in advance for any advice.

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

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

Database upgradation from 10.2.0.3 to 11 R2

Hi
I am planning to upgrade my production database from 10.2.0.3 to 11.2. Before doing into production am testing it into our Test server in Linux OS. I got manual procedure of database upgradation from metalink. I installed Oracle 11g as software only into my test server. Now in step 2 , they describe as under
$ sqlplus '/ as sysdba'
SQL> spool upgrade_info.log
SQL> @utlu112i.sql
SQL> spool off
SQL>
My query is : I will run the script utlu112i.sql from which home ? Oracle 10g ? oracle 11g?
Please give me your wise suggestion.
Regards
Rabi

Hi Rabi,
First of all go to location (Oracle 11g) $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin and
copy the utlu112i.sql script to /tmp directory.
Now login to 10g database “/ as sysdba” and startup the 10g database, then:
SQL> spool /tmp/upgrade_info.log
SQL> @/tmp/utlu112i.sql
SQL> spool off
Hope this will help you.

Database upgrade from 10.2.0.3.0 to 11.1.0.7

Hi All,
OS:linux 86x64 Red Hat linux
We would like to perform Database upgrade from 10.2.0.3.0 to 11.1.0.7.
I do have quick questions regarding the upgrade.
1. When we upgrade the Database to version 11, do we need to update the client also? What is Oracle recommendation?
2. Do we need to take any DB backup before the upgrade?
3. How will the OBIEE windows box ODBC connect to the upgraded 11 g instance? Will the version 10 driver work to connect to version 11 databases?
4. We have Informatica,DAC in the existing instance. Will the DB upgrade have any impact on them?
Could anyone please share their experience/thoughts on the above like the steps to perform the upgrade.
Thanks for your time!

I do have quick questions regarding the upgrade.
1. When we upgrade the Database to version 11, do we need to update the client also? What is Oracle recommendation?Just 11g upgrade will include all cient/Server tools on you Linux Box. On client side its recommended to upgrade client version 11.1.0.7.
Please refer MOS tech note:
*Oracle 10g Client Connecting To Oracle 11g Database Gets ORA-01017 invalid username/password [ID 888432.1]*
2. Do we need to take any DB backup before the upgrade?Yes, perform full cold backup of Database as well as 10G $ORACLE_HOME binaries including inventories.
3. How will the OBIEE windows box ODBC connect to the upgraded 11 g instance? Will the version 10 driver work to connect to version 11 databases?AFAIK, it should work. What is the version of OBIEE?
4. We have Informatica,DAC in the existing instance. Will the DB upgrade have any impact on them?Again AFAIK, there should not be any effect. I would recommend you to log a S.R and verify the same from support.

Need to upgrade from 8i OCP to 11g OCP

I had my 8i DBA OCP a long time ago (2002). Now I'm planning to upgrade it to 11g OCP. I have a couple of questions about my options.
I know one of my options is to upgrade to 10g first and them upgrade from 10g to 11g.
But what about if I would like to take 11g tests, such as 1Z0-052, 1Z0-053? This will be my second option.
1) In my second option, will my exsiting IZO-001 (Introduction to Oracle SQL and PL/SQL) pass remains valide as an SQL exemption?
2) Since I already have OCP, will I exempt for oracle hands on training?
BTW, I already have an account in CertView and see all my certification information.
Thanks very much for any help.
Best Regards
Cindy

You will be exempt.

Thanks very much for any help.
Best Regards
CindyI dont have time to seek out the authorive posts from times past.
But for an 8i DBA OCP with 1z0-001 then passes in 1z0-052 + 1z0-053 will achieve 11g DBA OCP certification with no additional training.
I will often recommend raising an Service Request to confirm this; as it would be a very expensive investment in money/time if it were not to be the case.
Thankou for giving all relevant information which has made the answer easy for me to give.

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.
