Release upgrade changes 11gr2

I need to know what changes are made during a release upgrade (11gr1 - r2). Where would I find the documentation on this?
My main question: Does this upgrade just the oracle system table spaces, or does it change your application tablespaces as well?

Pl see the new features guide for 11gR2 - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e22487/toc.htm
The upgrade does not make any changes to application/custom objects.

Upgrade Assistant 11gR2

When will there be an Applications Database Upgrade Assistant for 11gR2?
I got to update several installations and somehow hoped that livepatch 2.18 would enhance that assistant.
Thanks :)

Martin - this path exists in Maintenance Wizard already for 11gR1 upgrades.
You could then do a manual upgrade to 11gR2 until we release the new db upgrade paths

Upgrade changes from 4.7 to ECC 5.0 in HR

Hi Experts,
    Can somebody give an idea on changes that took place while upgrading from 4.7 to ECC 5.0?
    1. What are the major uni-code changes that we have in ECC 5.0 compared to 4.7? I know the unicode check is present in 4.7 too (like WS_UPLOAD & WS_DOWNLOAD are obsolete) But are there any major unicode checks that we have to deal with while upgrading to 5.0?
   2. Are there any specific screen flow changes that we need to make a note for HR module?
3. Any changes that can be found from using transactions SPDD and SPAU?
Any reply would be really appreciated...
Thanks in Advance,
RVSS.

Upgrade and Unicode conversions are two different things.

Top-Down Distribution - tcode KE28 (release upgrade from 4.6 to ECC 6.0)

All,
we are performing a release upgrade from 4.6 to ECC 6.0 and we have a problem with the tcode KE28.
The variant already set up in the system don't match with the selection fields present in the screen, and the following message is shown:
Message no. KG346
The variant does not adhere to the current Customizing setup
We have saved the variant again, and no problem are present, but the error message refers also to Customizing setup.
Is there a section in the Customizing where it is possible set up the field to show in the initial screen or the new fields (All Valuation Views, Legal Valuation View and Profit Center Valuation View) are due to the release upgrade?
If yes, do you know the transaction/path?
Thanks in advance for your collaboration.
Regards,
Jody Mancini.

IPod sync problems after hard-drive upgrade/change

Hello all,
Can anyone PLEASE help?
I have just had my hard drive upgraded/changed from the original 640GB drive to a new 2TB drive. I've also had an additional 4GB of RAM added to now give me 8GB RAM.
Absolutely everything else seems to be working fine (unusual for me and I'm often at the end of bad luck in such circumstances). The only thing I'm having problems with is syncing my iPod Classic with iTunes. Incidentally, I have the latest version of iTunes and my iPod software was up to date the last time I checked.
Before I go further, my system specs are:
iMac
24-inch, Early 2009
Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB
Software OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 (12C60)
When I connect my iPod Classic, the iPod screen initially shows 'Synchronisation in progress' (or whetver similar wording it actually is)... but this is just very briefly. It then indicates "Connected", and that's the way it stays and doesn't change at all.
It takes time to actually show up in iTunes, and when it does, I now have to very quickly click the iPod button (to bring up the iPod screen on iTunes) before the pointer turns into the spinning beach ball.
Now, it hangs... and hangs... and hangs... and hangs.
During this, I notice that "Manually manage music and videos" is ticked (which I didn't have ticked before), and also 'Enable disc use' is also ticked, although greyed out.
Occasionally, the spinning beach ball will disappear and the pointer will return, but this is very very briefly and I have a split-second to try unticking - first - the "Manually manage music and videos" box and then - later, if I'm lucky - untick the 'Enable disc use' box. However, on the odd occasion I've managed this, I haven't been able to go further except for two occasions when I managed to click "Apply". The iPoid on those to occasions started to update... but went nowhere... it just did nothing.
When the thing finally just hangs and hangs, I eventually have to 'force quit' iTunes and unplug the iPod without first ejecting. There was one other occasion when I managed to - split-second when the spinning beach ball disappeared - to click "eject" and the iPod succesfully did so.
There were a couple of occasions in the past when I had trouble with my iPhone and was told to delete/trash the iPhone photo cache folder. Remembering this, I tried this for the iPod (iPod photo cache) and it made no difference... same situation.
I did notice on one occasion at the beginning of all this that when I managed to unplug my iPod from iTunes, all the album covers were missing from the iPod (although still in iTunes). This was long before I tried deleting the iPod photo cache folder though.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards
BionicDan

First things first the spinning beach ball is usually an indication that Search is going nuts.
Turn off Search entire Library by clicking on the downward pointing arrow to the right of the Magnisying glass and untick Search entire library.
Is your music still in iTunes on your new hard drive or is it only on your ipod?
If it is in your itunes then you should be able to plug in the iPod and uncheck Manually Manage music and sync
If the music is only on the ipod connect up as above click on the device and Drag all the music from your device to the library. then you can uncheck manually manage music and sync as normal

Oracle 9.2.0.6 upgrade to 11gR2

Hi,
My database is 2TB in size. The database is 9.2.0.6 running on Solaris 8. It is configured with Physical Standby dataguard.
The current plan is to upgrade the database to 11.2.0.3. What will be the best way to do the upgrade? I am thinking on the Logical Standby method.
Is it possible to do logical standby between 9i and 11g?
Can i convert the physical standby database I have now to logical standby and upgrade the database to 11g?
Is there any limitation on logical standby database? eg. data types?
Regards,
Manoj Devan

Hi,
There are two concerns about your upgrade.
Direct upgrade to 11.2.0 is not support from version 9.2.0.6, at least you should be on version 9.2.0.8.
11.2.0.3 is not supported on solris8, at least you should be on OS version - Solaris 10.
Please refer MOS tech notes:

SQ03, user group removed after release upgrade from 4.6C to ECC6

Dear All,
I have a problem about user group - transaction code SQ03.
After the release upgrade from 4.6C to ECC6 the user group, that I created in the old system, are not present in quality and production environment.
In the development environment there is the user group but doesn't contain the queries that I created in the old environment.
How can I solve this issue?
Can I recover all missing queries?
(moreover I can access to the old environment)
Thanks in advance.

Release dates changed?

For reasons I don't understand, all the Release Dates for all our tracks on our iTunes U site recently changed to 5/29/07.
We've been uploading tracks at various dates since October 2006, so this is not at all what we want for many reasons -- not least of which is that folks who've subscribed to our various channels are finding tracks being re-downloaded to their computers since it appears that they're 'new'.
Any idea what went wrong? Any way to restore the actual release dates to what they were in early May?
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi Duncan. Glad to hear folks are trying to resolve this problem.
Just to clarify -- the problem is still happening, i.e., the release dates are still changing.
Is any other iTunes U site seeing this problem, or is it only Wellesley?
I'm hopeful that there's a way to both restore the original release dates as well as prevent the release dates changing in the future.
Thanks so much....k

Oracle 9.2.0.8 Win2000(32bit) upgrade to 11gR2 win2008(64 bit)

Hi,
We are planning to upgrade our databases running on oracle 9.2.0.8 / win2000 (32 bit) to 11gR2 /win2008 .
I have read many documents on metalink that talk about the upgrade methods and the execution.
We are currently in a planning phase and looking to do an impact analysis on the application. Is there any document that may refer to the database / OS changes that may have a direct / indirect impact on the applicaiton.
We have 2 applicatons. one is running on .net 2.0 and the other is written in vb 6.0 and asp.
Some of the doubts that we have are:
will the oracle client 9.2.0.8 running on win2000 communicate with the 11gR2 db on win2008 without any problems
Will the bitversion difference (32bit) app server vs (64 bit) db server be a problem ?
Are there any datatype changes that may require any change to the application?
I referred to the Oracle® Database
Upgrade Guide
11g Release 2 (11.2)
E17222-08
and it says that we can directly upgrade the database to 11gR2 without making any changes to the applicaiton if we do not intend to use any new features of 11gR2.
Any comments?

Maddy

Upgrading to 11gR2 - Error MDL1201

I am upgrading from 10g client to 11gR2 client. I had taken an export from 10g client, but when I try to import it into 11g client it shows me the following error message
MDL1201: Import data file is not valid. Metadata Loader release must be specified in the file using the MDLRELEASE keyword.
The release in this case is different. How can I change it in the .mdl file? Is there anything else that I could be doing wrong?

Thanks for responding.
Did you move the MDL file between systems or something? Yes, I moved this file from Windows machine to a Linux machine.

Best practices to reduce downtime for Database releases(rolling changes)

Hi,
What are best practices to reduce downtime for database releases on 10.2.0.3? What DB changes can be rolling and what can't?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
RJiv.

I would be very dubious about any sort of universal "best practices" here. Realistically, your practices need to be tailored to the application and the environment.
You can invest a lot of time, energy, and resources into minimizing downtime if that is the only goal. But you'll generally pay for that goal in terms of developer and admin time and effort, environmental complexity, etc. And you generally need to architect your application with rolling upgrades in mind, which necessitates potentially large amounts of redesign to existing applications. It may be perfectly acceptable to go full-bore into minimizing downtime if you are running Amazon.com and any downtime is unacceptable. Most organizations, however, need to balance downtime against other needs.
For example, you could radically minimize downtime by having a second active database, configuring Streams to replicate changes between the two master databases, and configure the middle tier environment so that you can point different middle tier servers against one or the other database. When you want to upgrade, you point all the middle tier servers against database A other than 1 that lives on a special URL. You upgrade database B (making sure to deal with the Streams replication environment properly depending on requirements) and do the smoke test against the special URL. When you determine that everything works, you configure all the app servers to point at B and have Streams replication process configured to replicate changes from the old data model to the new data model), upgrade B, repeat the smoke test, and then return the middle tier environment to the normal state of balancing between databases.
This lets you upgrade with 0 downtime. But you've got to license another primary database. And configure Streams. And write the replication code to propagate the changes on B during the time you're smoke testing A. And you need the middle tier infrastructure in place. And you're obviously going to be involving more admins than you would for a simpler deploy where you take things down, reboot, and bring things up. The test plan becomes more complicated as well since you need to practice this sort of thing in lower environments.
