Upgrade 6.0 repository to 10g

How's the best way to accomplish the repository upgrade ?
I also have a 9i repository into which the 6.0 needs to be merged into at sometime...
Thanks

It is easy to see what version of the repository you have. Start any of the Designer client tools, connect to your repository, and choose the "Help" menu. Then choose "About". The Component labeled "Configuration" will be your Repository version. For a more detailed look, press the "System Info..." button. But if it is accessible with a 9i client, it is probably the version of the repository that goes with a 9i client - client and repository are very closely coupled - only the RAU can usually connect to a repository that doesn't match the client.
If you use RAU from 9i to look at your current repository, if the "Upgrade" button is grayed out, then RAU believes that your current repository is in fact the correct version for your 9i client. If so, do yourself a favor: Use "Check Requirements" and make sure that the EXECUTE_EXPORT parameter is pointed at the "exp" utility for the database version in which the repository is installed. If you don't have client software for this database, get it and install it in a separate Oracle Home. Then use the "Export" button in RAU to back up your repository.
If you connect to the current repository with your 10g client's RAU, that "Upgrade" button should be active, meaning that RAU is ready and able to upgrade that repository to the version that is compatible with your 10g client. Don't do that yet. First, you want to make a good backup of your current repository.
Now you have a decision to make. You say that you made a new repository instance on a 10g database. I don't think you really want or need a new repository. What you really want to do is upgrade your current repository. So I would go ahead and drop your new repository owner with the "CASCADE" option, to give yourself a clean slate. Now do you want to upgrade in place, or do you really want to move your repository to a new database? If you want to move to a new database, I would export the repository owner schema with "exp" outside of Designer using the "exp" version that matches the original database, then import it using the "imp" version that goes with the new database.
There is one problem that you may encounter when you do this. Later versions of the repository have four collection types created with the "CREATE TYPE" command - JR_NUM_LIST, JR_STR_LIST, SDD_ACC_PRIV_LIST, and SDD_SYS_PRIV_LIST. Object types have an associated object ID, that some versions of "exp" do not export properly. On import, the objects get created with a new object ID, yet when the data is imported, Oracle won't import it because the new object ID doesn't match the ID of the data being imported. The solution is to pre-create the schema for your repository owner, and pre-create these objects using the OID clause with the object ids that they had in the old repository. Then import with the "ignore errors" option.
Finally, connect to your repository with the 10g version of RAU and press the Upgrade button. Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.

Upgrade forms on upgrading DB from 9i to 10g

Hi All,
After upgrading Database from 9i to 10g working on 11.5.10, is it a requirement to upgrade forms as well..
could anyone please share..
Thanks for your time!
Regards,

Per your update, developer 6i with patchset earlier than 17 should not be used with 10g but developer 6i with latest patchset at least 17 could be used...Correct, because developer 6i patchsets earlier than 17 are not certified.
could we use developer 6i with latest patchset 18 with DB 10g on 11.5.10?
Yes, you can. Please note the latest developer 6i patchset which is certified with Oracle Apps 11i is patchset 19 (Patch 6194129).

How to upgrade from OCS 904 to 10g but not upgrading Oracle Files

Hi All,
We have installed OCS 904 from where we only are using:
- Portal
- Oracle Files
Our idea is to upgrade this installation to OCS 10g but keeping the same version of Oracle Files (we don't want to migrate to content services for the moment).
Is this possible? or if we want to keep Oracle Files we need to do a fresh install of OCS 10g in another location?
Thanks in advance,
Harvey

>I want to upgrade it from RHEL 6 TO RHEL 7 and from ORACLE 11G TO ORACLE 12C. I wonder if anyone could suggest the best url for for upgrading accordingly.
which metric measures best? Fewest keystrokes?
BTW - you are actually doing 2 upgrades. You are upgrading OS & you are upgrading Oracle version.
So you can either over then up or up then over.
How much down down time is available?
How much risk do you want to include?

Best way to upgrade the local repository from 11.7.3 to 12.2.3.3 DS 3

Hi, we are going to upgrade our DI 11.7.3 to DS3 - 12.2.3.3 in Sep. I found out there are different ways to upgrade the local repository from the SAP doc and tech support. I try to find a best and safe way to do it. If anyone had experince and inputs on this. It would be great appreciated. It seems there are these options:
we all agree that need to back up the repostiry db, and export the repository to atl file.
Option 1:
Upgrade the repository during the Data Services installation. But the tech support said there are times where this does not work as expected and Option 2 below needs to be implemented.
Option 2:
a) Export the local repository, via 11.7.3 Designer, to an ATL file.
b) Uninstall 11.7.3.
c) Create a new database in SQL Server to use with 12.2.3.3. (Optionally, use the existing 11.7.3 database. If you do, make a backup of it before making any changes).
d) Install Data Services 12.2.3.3 and reference the database created in step "c" above during installation (select the Create option).
e) Log in to the new local repo, via 12.2.3.3 Designer, and import the ATL that was exported in step "a" above.
Option 3:
a. Create a new database u2013 20 MB space
b.Create a new repo in 11.7.3 point to ds_local via Repository Manager (click create)
c.Log in 11.7 designer and Repository import from out.atl
d.Install 12.2.3.3 without upgrde the repostory
e.use epository manager in 12.2.3 to upgrade the new repository

Hi.
If you import the 11.7 atl into a 12.2 Designer you will face a warning message like this:
"The version 11.7 of the ATL file <c:\export.atl> is lower than the repository version <12.2>.
To update an ATL file, import it into a repository of the same version then ugrade that repository"
So, the correct method to upgrade the Data Integrator 11.7 repository to Data Services 12.2.x is the following:
- Export the complete Data Integrator 11.7 repository to ATL.
- Create a NEW Data Integrator 11.7 Local Repository.
- Import the ATL created in step 1 to the NEW Data Integrator 11.7 Repository. At this point you have two identical local repositories.
- From the Data Services 12.2.x system, open Repository Manager.
- Enter the Database connection information to the NEW repository created in step 2.
- Select UPGRADE, to upgrade this repository to support Data Services 12.2.x.
- Log into Data Services Designer to start using this Local Repository.

Leo.

Upgrade OWB 3i repository to OWB 9i

I tried to use to Repository Assistant client version 9.0.2.56 to upgrade/create new repository. However I keep getting the error message as "INS0003: OWB Repository Installation cannot continue without DBA privileges. Connect as DBA and use option Create a New Warehouse Builder Repository to continue the process ". But I did put SYS user id and password there.
I also tried to use Repository assistant client version 9.0.3.33.0 to upgrade the existing OWB 3i repository. It's giving me the error message of " This Repository cannot be upgraded to add more languages to support object translations. You must have a version 9.0.3.0.1 repository to upgrade. Version of OWB Repository found 3.0.0.2.0 " However in the HELP, the upgrade function is only for OWB 3i migration to OWB 9i. And the "Add More Languages to Support Object Translations" is the default selection. I can't deselect it.
Does anyone may have any clue of this? I appreciate if you may share with me.

Hi,
In order to migrate from OWB3i to a later version, you would have to export the MDL file from OWB3i and import this into the later OWB version. If you choose to use version 9.0.2.56.0, then you have to use the MDL migration utility in the menu to do the migration. Note however that we have already de-supported this version of OWB. Current version is 9.2.0.2.8 for which there is a patch 9.2.0.3 available, about to release 9.2.0.4. Notice that there is a significant difference between OWB3i and 9.2. However, migrated procedures, when re-generated, should run fine. Consider checking out http://otn.oracle.com/products/warehouse/pdf/OWB_RuntimeChanges.pdf for changes in the runtime environment (this applies to 9.2 also).
In the 9.0.3 release of Warehouse Builder we support multiple languages in an existing repository. To add supported languages, you would re-run the repository assistant against an existing repository. This is the message you see. We do not support in-place repository migration from OWB3i for the migration to later releases.
Thanks,
Mark.

How to upgrade a 6i Repository to the latest release

Hi,
does anybody know, how to upgrade a 6i Repository to it's latest release?
We have version 4.0.52.1 (release 4) installed and we want to install relase 4.4.
Following the installation/upgrade guide, I still got the problem, that the upgrade button
is greyed out! In Metalink, I found some hints pointing to the fact, that in this case the
repository does not need an update but looking at the bug fix list, of course my descision should be
to upgrade/update the repository!
Regards
Holger

Solved! This was my fault! I was a little bit confused about the ORACLE_HOME directories!

Upgrade certification from 8 to 10g DBA track.

Hi,
I have an oracle certification 8 in DBA track, and I completed my oracle 8 certification in 2001. Now I want it to upgrade from oracle 8 DBA to 10g DBA. I don’t know for what exam I need prepare, or can I upgrade it or not.
Do I need to upgrade my oracle 8 certification to 8i and then 8i to 9i and then 9i to 10g, or just need to give one exam for upgrade the certification 8 to 10g.
Please explain in details.
Thanks for help.

And you thought a question about DBA certification was suitable for a SQL and PL/SQL forum?

Upgrade PHYSICAL STANDBY database to 10g from 9i

Hello everybody,
Please can you provide me the details for Manual upgrading 9i STANDBY database to 10g. Any special parameters that we have to set on the Primary database..
Any sites with the information available would be great.
Thanks everybody for your help.

There is no in-place upgrade process to move from 9i to 10g. You have to upgrade your primary and then reinstantiate your standby (using Oracle10g). You may like to keep your 9i standby in tact until your upgrade of 9i primary to 10g is completely successful.....just to ensure that you have a fast, easy and reliable fall-back plan.
Thanks

Is it possible to upgrade only apache in oracle 10g application server.

I have to upgrade only apache in oracle 10g application server with out upgrading oracle 10g as.
Is it possibel to upgrade only apache version in oracle 10g application server. if yes.could you suggest the steps that i need to follow.
This is very urgent.
Thanks in advance.

If your trying to upgrade just apache in that oracle home, then no. If your trying to upgrade to a real apache version, from apache.org, mod_oc4j won't work. You need to use Oracle's version of Apache or HTTP Server.
Is there a reason you only want to upgrade Apache and not the whole oracle home?
There are ways to do it, but it wouldn't be supported by Oracle and I wouldn't recommend that either.

Problem on upgrading the designer repository from v1.3.2 to Desig6

Hi folks,
I have a database 8.1.6 running on SunSolaris. I migrated a database instance from v 7.3.2 which has the designer repositories (DES v1.3.2). Now after migrating the database to V8.1.6, I tried upgrade the repository through the Admin Util of Designer6, I'm getting the error saying that I have not granted the EXECUTE on SYS.LOCK and SYS.PIPE to the install. The desiger owner has these privileges granted to them already. I also tried granting this explictily and tried things and it was again comming up with the same error. So could some one advice me of what to do to get away from this problem.
I ran a log and got the following

To clarify, your index entries were in the database but NOT defined in Des 1.3.2 model? Because if they were in the model, then I'd look back at your intermediate migration definitions to make sure the indexes were still defined properly in there.
In Des 2.1/6.0/6i/9i/10g, Indexes are a separate sub-element (SACs) for a Table Definition. They don't have to be associated with a key structure. And in newer database versions, a PK / UK has an implicit index constructed for it in the database, so Designer doesn't bother showing you the Index in the model. Just the PK or UK itself (again, these are also separate SACs).
And it's not clear where you're getting the error. During the generate? Or during the instantiation into a database? Neither situation is a common fault.

Upgrade of Designer repository from 6i to latest version

Is the designer repository supported in a 10gR2 database?
We plan to upgrade to the latest developer suite and i'm working on a POC. I've upgraded the repository database to 10gR2. Now, i plan to install the latest version of developer suite on a client box and then run the RAU to upgrade the repository.
Has anyone done this? And can share his/her experience?
Thanks.

According to the Metalink note about this (Note:60705.1), both 9i and 10g Designer can run on 10gR2 databases. You're right to upgrade though, because the 6i repository is not certified on that database.
By the by, latest full Developer Suite is 10.1.2.0.2. But there is a newer Designer (v 10.1.2.2) available, which that same Metalink note says is certified with the base 10.1.2.0.2 Developer. I'd go with the newest Designer if I were you.
have fun

Getting error while upgrading rpd to 11g from 10g

Hello,
I have a rpd using obiee 10g.I want to open the same in obiee 11g,but getting error like need to run one file.
obieerpdmigrateutil.exe.
So i just run with -i,-u and -o option, that now i am getting this error->
The file 'DBFeatures.INI' is required for RPD migration and could not be located. Please ensure that ORACLE_INSTANCE is pointing to a valid instance directory.
Thanks

Hi akshara,
Firstly you need to upgrade from 10g to 11g,you need to run a .bat file from the path and follow some steps like collecting the artifact files like NQSconfig.ini,instanceconfig.xml,DBfeatures.ini with RPD and catalog to upgrade to 11g.
Here is the step by step process to upgrade and some artifact files manually given in step 2 of this blog http://prolynxuk.com/blog/?p=424
http://www.biconsultinggroup.com/images/VideoAlbum/OBIEE11gUpgrade11-4-10.pdf
(OR) standard documentation Start here http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E1457101/bi.htm_
If still the problem exists you manually update the DBfeature.ini file going to the specific location in 10g and copy them to 11g path.
hope helps you.
Cheers,
KK

Error after upgrading BI Publisher report from 10g to 11g

Hi All,
I have migrated the BI Publisher from 10g to 11g. The upgrade was done using the upgrade assistant and the installation process was a success.
However whenever I try to access the reports in 11g after migration I get the following error:
oracle.xdo.servlet.CreateException: Data Model definition not found:/dlypurge.xdm.
I have tried modifying the .xdo to include the following:
<dataModel url="/RMS/dlypurge/dlypurge.xdm"/> where dlypurge is one of the reports. However in the BI Publisher does not seem to access the latest .xdo file.
Any suggestions on how to rectify the error.
