Oracle Upgrade 10g

Hi,
We are in the process of Oracle 10g upgrade from 9.2.0.7,
In Oracle 10g Upgrade guide in Preperation stage,
Migrating to Automatic Undo Management (3.6) - OSS#60041 explained with step by step procedure.
But I dont have any idea how to perorm step 0: Save the DDL statements for rollback tablespace and rollback segments.
Please provide me script for step 0.
OSS # 60041 steps enough to make AUM ? or any extra steps we need to follow?
Thanks in advance

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
Getting pre-run patch inventory...

My database version is 10.2.0.1.0 Oracle express.
Operating system is Windows Vista.
I started installing using the following commands.
@ C:\temp\apex\apexins.sql
it prompts me for the values of sysaux sysaux temp and c:\temp\apex\images\
If I supply the value for images the sqlplus window closes after scrolling a lot of info.
Enroute it also prompts me for a value for 9:
I don't know what the input shall be.
Then it again stops at enter value for version:
I used 3.2.1.0
The window scrols a while and closes.
later I changed the password and ran the command.
@c:\temp\apex\apxldimg.sql c:\temp
but no success with installation.
the output is as following.

Now I want to upgrade my Solution Manager 10 g to 11g .
what oracle component should I download and how to upgrade 10.2.0.2.0 to 11.2.0.3.0.
Please suggest.
Regards

Hi
The upgrade is possible as stated in the here under note.
Previous version (v15) of that note was even a bit more clear it is possible but version 10.2.0.4 is preferred.
Direct upgrade from 10.2.0.2 should not be a problem, as it is even possible to have a direct upgrade from 9.2.0.8 to 11.2.0.4.
1431793 - Oracle 11.2.0: Upgrade Scripts
A database < 9.2.0.8 must be upgraded to 9.2.0.8 before it can be upgraded directly to 11.2.0.4.
You should consider jumping directly to 11.2.0.4 that is the latest 11g version and the only one that will have a long term support.
Regards
1431797 - Oracle 11.2.0: Troubleshooting the Database Upgrade
For a database upgrade from 10.2. to 11.2 the minimum release is 10.2.0.2. This release is not supported any more.
1431797 - Oracle 11.2.0: Troubleshooting the Database Upgrade v15
We strongly recommend a minimum release 10.2.0.4 for the following reasons:
a) All SAP internal database upgrade tests have been performed with
release 10.2.0.4. This upgrade path has been very well tested and
is documented in the SAP Database Upgrade Guide for Oracle Release
11.2.
b) Oracle Database Release 10.2.0.2 is not supported any more.

Issues expected in oracle 9i/10g to 11g upgrade

Hi.
We are planning to migrate some 95 odd applications from Oracle 9i/10g to 11g. The upgrade method we are planning to use is to setup 11g target servers and move databases from source to target using import/export. Then do the necessary changes in the app code and connect the application to the new target server and test.
The source OS may be RHEL 3/4/5 or Solaris 8 and target OS will be RHEL 4/5 or Solaris 10.
My questions are:
1. What can be the expected database side issues possible while moving the structure+data+views/sps etc from old version to new version using import/export.
2. How much time may it take to move the database from source to target for say a 100GB database?
3. Will the change of OS have any implications on the movement from source to target?
4. What are the application side issues possible considering that most apps use odbc/jdbc to connect to the datastores?
5. Can any application side inline queries be affected?
6. Will there be any changes to the column data types from 9i/10g to 11g which can impact the code?
Thanks,
Vipul Shah

1. What can be the expected database side issues possible while moving the structure+data+views/sps etc from old version to new version using import/export. If you complete the steps in (Interoperability Notes Oracle EBS 11i with Oracle Database 11gR2 (11.2.0.2) [ID 881505.1]) please see these docs.
After RDBMS Upgrade To 11gR2 In An Applications 11i Environment: ORA-20000 DRG-100[51021],[Drwaf.C],[1605],[],[] ORA-4088 [ID 1104963.1]

2. How much time may it take to move the database from source to target for say a 100GB database? Depends on many factors -- Try this on a test instance with similar hardware configuration and setup to production to estimate the time.
3. Will the change of OS have any implications on the movement from source to target?No, but you may relink the executable files -- How to Relink Oracle Database Software on UNIX [ID 131321.1]
4. What are the application side issues possible considering that most apps use odbc/jdbc to connect to the datastores? If you run AutoConfig with no errors when there should be no issues with ODBC/JDBC connectivity.
5. Can any application side inline queries be affected? It should not be affected expect if you custom code use some features which are no longer available in 11g database.
6. Will there be any changes to the column data types from 9i/10g to 11g which can impact the code?Typically no, however you need to do full and proper testing to verify.
Thanks,
Hussein

Upgrading from Oracle 9.1.0.8 to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2)

Hello everyone;
We are in the process of looking into upgrading from our current Oracle 9.1.0.8 to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2): Windows
We would like to download and install the 10.2.0.1 base release (Oracle Software). When I go on SAP Marketplace
https://websmp210.sap-ag.de/oracle-download and goto the (Software Download) section and click on
Oracle 10.2 Software (32-bit versions) to download I receive a error NO DATA AVAILABLE.
Is there another area to download the Oracle Software? or do I need to purchase a CD from SAP or can I download this base release straight from Oracle?
Thanks for your time and have a great day.

Hello Pellegrino,
just download it from the SAP container for each product .. for example
-> Installations and Upgrades - Entry by Application Group -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NETWEAVER 7.0 -> Windows Server -> ORACLE

Stefan

Oracle Upgrade 8.1.7.4 to 10g in Red hat linux

Dear All,
We are planning to upgrade our oracle database from 8i to 10g along with the Redhat linux upgrade from 2.4.9-e 27 ent to Red Hat Linux 5. In my study and also from Installation guides and oracle upgrade guides I made sure that its possible to upgrade our database from 8.1.7.4.
So I have planned the below options to do the same and not sure about the possibilities. If anyone have thoughts and idea on the same please suggest me.
We dont have plan to migrate the development hardware and the sap version is 4.7E
Option 1: Upgrade the Linux to 5 and then upgrading the database to 10g usign upgrade assistant tool
Option 2: Export the database using sapinst tool and then crashing the server. Installing linux5 and importing the database using sapinst tool.(I am aware this is not a good idea since there is no migration in hardware but it will be helpful in production since we are migrating the production system).
Option 3: Performing DBUA assistant in development and sapinst method in production.(helpful in disaster recovery)
Could you please suggest on the same?
My query is that.
If i am performing oracle export from 8.1.7.4 and if i am import the same in oracle 10g using the sapinst tool. Will this work? or it will create a problem in table level. I am looking for answers for this Question. Kindly explain me on this.
Regards
Vijay

How to upgrade from oracle database 10g 10.1.0.3 to 10.1.0.5 or 10.2.0.4

I have a oracle database 10g version 10.1.0.3 on solaris 10 x86. I can't find the recent patches suitable to my database.
How can I upgrade it to 10.1.0.5 or higher (10.2.0.4)?
Thanks.

take a looks at this metalink doc for all upgrade needs...
sub: Complete checklist for manual upgrades of Oracle databases from anyversion to any version on any platform (documents only from 7.3.x>>8.0.x>>8.1.x>>9.0.x>>9.2.x>>10.1.x>>10.2.x>>11.1.x)

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.
Regards
Stefan

Can Oracle AS 10g 10.1.2.0.0 be upgraded to 10.1.4??

We currently have our applications running on Oracle 10g AS 10.1.2.0.0. I was going through the hassle of installing the patchsets to get it up to 10.1.4.
I went to this page: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/html/upg_1014_1012_intro.html#UpgradeSteps. This document says that an upgrade is supported. For me, since I'm running on 10.1.2.0.0, its harder since I have to get it to 10.1.2.0.2.
From the doc:
If running OracleAS Portal 10.1.2.0.0 or 10.1.2.0.1 then apply the Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.1.0) patchset to bring the OracleAS Portal repository version to 10.1.2.0.2 before applying the OracleAS Portal 10g Release 2 (10.1.4) upgrade
However, the Doc 329361.1 says:
Oracle AS 10g 10.1.2.1.0 Patchset should be applied only on 10.1.2.0.0 or 10.1.2.0.1 Oracle Homes, which will bring them on par with 10.1.2.0.2 bug fixes. However, the patchset will not add any new functionality that 10.1.2.0.2 contains. The Database Patchset 10.1.0.4.2 is a minimal requirement on Metadata Repository homes before applying 10.1.2.1 Patchset, and is included with the patch download.
And Doc 339992.1 it says:
While you cannot upgrade or expand your existing Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.0) installations to 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.2), you can install a 10.1.2.0.2 middle tiers against an existing 10.1.2.0.0 Infrastructure. Once a new 10.1.2.0.2 middle tier is installed it can be configured to serve as a replacement for the original 10.1.2.0.0 one, allowing the older middle tier to be decommissioned.
So is this the only way I can upgrade my 10.1.2.0.0? Of course I mean with the functionality of that version.
Richard

So I understand that we can get all the (portal) functionality of Portal 10.1.4 by upgrading the application server from 10.1.2.0.0 to 10.1.2.1.0. But I'm curious what is the application server functionality that one gets with 10.1.2.0.2 and not with 10.1.2.1.0? Is it (just) Reports, Forms and Bi Beans?
I'd love a link to someplace that states this explicitly.
