Oracle patch upgrade after downgrade

We patched Oracle from 11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.3 successfully. Third party app had issue and blamed it on the patch, so I downgraded back to 11.2.0.2 successfully.
Turns out the problem was not with Oracle, and I want to get back to 11.2.0.3.
For the downgrade, I did (just listing the major steps)
startup downgrade
drop sysman
@catdwgrd
Point ORACLE_HOME / oratab / oraInst to the old, renamed ORACLE_HOME (11.2.0.2)
attachHome
apply patch 11811073 (new catrelod.sql)
Startup upgrade
@catrelod
bounce DB and @utlrep, and everything looks peachy on 11.2.0.2.
My question now is - what is the most painless way to get back to 11.2.0.3 ?
Can I just re-point to the new ORACLE_HOME and run a catupgrd / catrelod out of the 11.2.0.3 dirs ?

Just wonder, Dont you get any information your 3th party tool certified or not certified wiht that version? Secondly You already mention you made upgrade wihtout any issue so why you are looking different path:) Journey? :)
Anyway check below note :

  • System Core Dumped after Oracle patch upgrade 9.2.0.6 to 9.2.0.8

    Hi,
    We are continously getting dumps on our BW Central instance server after we did an Oracle patch upgrade from 9.2.0.6 to 9.2.0.8.
    Following is our system environment
    SAP Release.............. "640"
    Application server....... "abci"
    Operating system......... "SunOS"
    Release.................. "5.10"
    Hardware type............ "sun4v"
    Database server.......... "abdb"
    Database type............ "ORACLE"
    Database name............ "ABP"
    Database owner........... "SAPABP"
    SAP kernel............... "640"
    Database version......... "OCI_920 "
    Patch level.............. "175"
    Following below is the Core Dump that is generated for any process chains that we schedule on our BW server
    Runtime Errors         SYSTEM_CORE_DUMPED
    Date and Time          14.04.2008 09:26:17
    ShrtText
         Process terminated by signal 11.
    What happened?
        The current ABAP program had to be terminated because the
        ABAP processor detected an internal system error.
        The current ABAP program "SAPMSSY2" had to be terminated because the ABAP
        processor discovered an invalid system state.
    What can you do?
        Make a note of the actions and input which caused the error.
        To resolve the problem, contact your SAP system administrator.
        You can use transaction ST22 (ABAP Dump Analysis) to view and administer
        termination messages, especially those beyond their normal deletion
        date.
    Error analysis
        An SAP System process was terminated by an operating system signal.
        Possible reasons for this are:
        1. Internal SAP System error.
        2. Process was terminated externally (by the system administrator).
                   Last error logged in SAP kernel
        Component............ "Taskhandler"

    How to correct the error
        The SAP System work directory (e.g. /usr/sap/c11/D00/work ) often
        contains a file called 'core'.
        Save this file under another name.
        If you cannot solve the problem yourself and you wish to send
        an error message to SAP, include the following documents:
        1. A printout of the problem description (short dump)
           To obtain this, select in the current display "System->List->
           Save->Local File (unconverted)".
        2. A suitable printout of the system log
           To obtain this, call the system log through transaction SM21.
           Limit the time interval to 10 minutes before and 5 minutes
           after the short dump. In the display, then select the function
           "System->List->Save->Local File (unconverted)".
        3. If the programs are your own programs or modified SAP programs,
           supply the source code.
           To do this, select the Editor function "Further Utilities->
           Upload/Download->Download".
        4. Details regarding the conditions under which the error occurred
           or which actions and input led to the error.
    Kindly help.

    No. If the environment would be wrong the system wouldn´t start up.
    Core dumps are in 99 % of the cases program errors (in the SAP kernel or in an interface (libdbora*)), misaligend accesses of data etc.
    If you encounter such an error have a look in the C-Stack. If you can´t see where the error is happening opening an OSS call. Most of those errors are fixed by installing the latest patches for the kernel and the database interface.

  • Oracle patch upgradation

    Hi all,
                     Our SAP version is 4.7E and Oracle 9.2.0.7.I have recieved one message that Oracle only give support for 9.2.0.7 up to july 31 2007.They have suggested apply the latest patches.But oracle is giving free support for version 9.2.0.7 up to july 31 2008.
    1.If we will not apply oracle patches  how will it effect the system?
    2. We will need to apply those latest patch only before july 31 2007?
    Please help on this.

    The extended support is for version 9.2 (not only 9.2.0.7) for free until 31st of july 2008. The reason why you should go to 9.2.0.8 is because of the fact, that new patches are only developed/released for 9.2.0.8 and no more for 9.2.0.7. So in case you need an urgent correction for a problem in the future you would need to upgrade to 9.2.0.8 first before you can apply that patch.
    Check Note 1021844 - Oracle 9.2 Extended Support free until July 31, 2008

  • Hidden parameters appears after Oracle 11gR2 upgrade

    Platform: HP-UX B.11.31 U ia64
    Upgrading from: Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
    Upgrading to : Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
    Issue : There are around 130 hidden parameter appear after Oracle 11gR2 upgrade.
    Before upgrade I have commented the hidden parameters on the PFILE. PFILE only to start the database for the Oracle 11gR2 upgrade.
    Before upgrade, checking the hidden parameter:
    SQL> SELECT name,description from SYS.V$PARAMETER WHERE name LIKE '\_%' ESCAPE '\';
    optimizerextended_cursor_sharing_rel
    optimizer extended cursor sharing for relational operators
    allowlevel_without_connect_by
    allow level without connect by
    I am using client parameter file ( PFILE ) commented the hidden parameters highlighted above.
    However after successful upgrade to 11gR2, creating SPFILE from the PFILE ( commented the hidden parameters) now i am getting 132 hidden parameters.
    SQL> select count(1) from sys.V$PARAMETER where name like '\_%' escape '\';

    I just came across a similar case: 1 (just one) of our (RAC-) databases has 130-something underscore-parameters set to non-default values.
    version is still 11.1.0.7 (e.g. not 11gR2).
    All of those hidden parameters seem to be CBO related (list on request).
    Weird is: Only one of our (very similar, supposedly same-config) databases have these hidden parameters set.
    Colleagues justly wonder: Who, When, What has caused these parameters to be expliclty set for this one system?
    Note: we do not have the complete history of this system documented (systems have been managed by 3 different parties already).
    It is quite possible they came in with some patch or upgrade (catupgr?) somewhere between 11.1.0.1 and 11.1.0.7, but a confirmation would be nice.
    Information welcome.

    Igor,
    Since you've encountered undocumented errors, your repository upgrade has failed. You'll want to leave the repository as is for troublshooting, if at all possible, and log a TAR with support if you haven't already. They'll ask you to upload your upgrade log file and your upgrade tmp directory.

  • Backup error after kernel patch upgrade

    Hi.
    I have a backup problem after the kernel patch upgrade.  I have SAP R3 4.6C on HPUX11.0 with an Oracle 8.17 database.
    I have upgraded kernel patch from 1655 to 2337.
    Afterward, I am getting following backup error:
    BR280I Time stamp 2007-11-06 09.29.01
    BR279E Return code from '/usr/sap/HAD/SYS/exe/run/backint -u HAD -f backup -i /oracle/HAD/sapbackup/.bdwnpztp.lst -t file_online -c': 2
    BR232E 0 of 115 files saved by backup utility
    BR280I Time stamp 2007-11-06 09.29.01
    BR231E Backup utility call failed
    Does anyone know how to correct this?
    Thank you.

    Hi Jun,
    backint is a link file that is in SAP kernel directory which links to the backup client on the server.
    eg:
    lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         32 Aug 13  2004 backint -> /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/backint
    As part of kernel upgrade process, the kernel is backed up, mostly on the disk before upgrading. Check if this link exists and recreate it in the kernel directory, if no backup was done, compare it with other systems to get the details of the backint link.
    Cheers,
    Nisch

  • Oracle  10.2.0.4 patch upgrade

    Hi,
    We  have recently upgraded  oralce 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.4   we downloaed the Oracle patches as per snote # 871735 for SUN aparc 64 bit  .
    We have used OUI and done the upgrade as per the instaructions in the readme file of the patch.

    Yes - you also have to apply all the interim patches too. You updated your database only to 10.2.0.4; this version has also bugs which are fixed byy applying all the patches of note 1137346.

This is happening for all our systems for which we upgraded the oracle patch. R3trans -d also gives the same error. Trans.log says invalid user/password but we have not changed any password of any oracle user. In fact we are able to login to sqlplus using system and our old password. Any pointers would be higly appreciated.
    Regards
    Gokul

    SAPUSER table was missing and OPS$SIDADM user was also missing. Now I am able to do sqlplus /@QGR but the problem persists . R3trans -d out is

  • After patch upgrade in 11g Not able to see current patch

    Hi Experts,
    After upgrading the patch upgrade through MOPatch from 11.2.0.2.0 to 11.2.0.2.4 , I can see the log as succeeded .
    But when I am connecting through sqlplus / as sysdba the version is still showing as 11.2.0.2.0 . Have I missed something I used the readme file README_201111_AIX which is downloaded with this patch.
    I have to also add one more fix_control after patch upgrade that means system is reading the right patch. So, Please suggest how to check this .
    Thanks in Advance.

  • Repository connect issue after MDM Patch Upgrade

    MDM Expert
    We recently upgraded our MDM patch from SP06 5.5.63.73 to SP06 5.5.65.91
    after patch upgrade we are not able to connect to repository.SAP is saying that we have wong NLS Character set.It should be 'UTF8' or 'AL32UTF8'
    We checked and found that we do not have character set as per SAP Recommendation but everything was working fine before upgrading the patch.As per SAP in new Patch MDM is lokking for Unicode Character set
    SAP is asking to create new DB Instance for MDM.
    If we create new instance for MDM then how we are going to use our existing repository.Our environment is clustered environment and name of MDM DB instance is also mentioned in cluster.We have to use same Instance name.We are also using oracle failsafe
    Creating new instance seems to be risky for Production environment.Currently we are applying the Patch in Sandbox Environment
    has anyone of you faced this problem while upgrading MDM patch, if yes then how you resolve the issue
    Please help
    Thanks

  • Oracle Report Failing After Database Version Upgrade

    Hi,
    I have function code created in RDF file of oracle reports 10g as below-
    create or replace function clobblobtest (TMP_MID varchar2) return varchar is
    missed_text varchar2(1000) := '';
    v_time_stamp date;
    v_end_time date;
    cursor c1(c_time_stamp in date,
              c_mid in varchar2) is
           select mn.TEXT from msgnotes mn
      where mn.mid=c_mid
          and mn.create_date >= c_time_stamp;
    cursor c2(c_time_stamp in date,
              c_mid in varchar2,
              c_end_time in date) is
           select mn.TEXT from msgnotes mn
      where mn.mid=c_mid
          and mn.create_date >= c_time_stamp
          and mn.create_date <= c_end_time;
    begin
      IF ('1' = 'INWARD RETURN') then
        select bbi into missed_text from mtf1000 where mid=TMP_mid;
        ELSIF '1'='QPH Missed' then
      Select max(nj.update_date) into v_time_stamp
      from newjournal nj
      where nj.mid=TMP_mid and nj.status = 'CTOVRQ';
      for i in c1(v_time_stamp,TMP_mid) loop
      missed_text:=missed_text||' '||i.text;
      END Loop;
      ELSIF ('Rejected'='Rejected' OR 'REJECTED'='REJECTED') then
      IF ('TERMINATED' in ('TERMINATED')) THEN
      Select min(nj.update_date),max(nj.ENDDATE) into v_time_stamp,v_end_time
      from newjournal nj
      where nj.mid=TMP_mid and nj.actionid2='16' and nj.actionid1 is null;
      for i in c2(v_time_stamp,TMP_mid,v_end_time) loop
      missed_text:=missed_text||' '||i.text;
      END Loop;
      ELSE
      Select max(nj.update_date) into v_time_stamp
      from newjournal nj
      where nj.mid=TMP_mid and nj.status = 'UNSETLED';
      for i in c1(v_time_stamp,TMP_mid) loop

      END Loop;
      END IF;
      ELSE missed_text := null;
      END IF;
    return(missed_text);
    End;
    Note:- Text column from table msgnotes is of datatype CLOB.
    I have executed report having this function before oracle upgrade and it works fine.
    But when i am trying to execute report after oracle version upgrade from 11.2.0.3.0 to 11.2.0.4.0 with same data report fails with runtime error Rep-1401: '' Fatal PL/SQL Error.
    With New version we tried to typecast Text column from clob to varchar and executed report then it works... but report runs on old version without any explicit typecasting.
    Please note when i run and call this funtion from sql developer with upgraded database version it works fine.
    Please advise.

    This error can possibly depend on the fact that the PL/SQL engines are in different versions. When using SQL Developer you use the PL/SQL engine in the database. When using Oracle Reports you use the PL/SQL engine in the Oracle Reports Server (Web Logic Server even maybe). These versions - in the Forms and Reports realm - are different (read: a lower version) than the PL/SQL engine in the database.
    If I check what version I have in Oracle Forms, as an example, I get 11.1.0.7.0 (Help in the Oracle Forms Builder menu) but in the database I have (select * from product_component_version;) 11.2.0.3.0.
    That COULD be your issue...how to fix it I am not sure...
