Upgrade failure(dbua) from 8i to 10g on solaris

Hi,
current version is 8.1.7.4 and trying to upgrade to 10.2.0.1 which is already been installed.
I am running dbua from 10ghome/bin
I have changed the oracle_home to 10g also
when I am trying to install by using dbua, after clicking on the finish button
it is getting failed by throwing the error at pre upgrade step.
ORA-0178: failure in processing system parameters while upgrading
Please assist me
Regards,
RB

Hi User,
It seems to me that you just want the upgrade done as fast as you could without really putting enough thoughts and understanding of the whole upgrade process. What metalink note are you following? Did you check the "Database Upgrade Guide"?
There are two scripts to run to check all your settings before the upgrade. Please search metalink for "upgrade" procedures for the details.
The errors you are encountering are mostly caused by obsolete parameters used in 8i or new parameters in 10g not acceptable in 8i.
Please provide error log.
Regards,
ArtRed

Report upgraded from 6i to 10g not displaying data.

Hi,
I upgraded one report from 6i to 10g,
When I'm running the report for the same set of data.
After changing the layout for few fields in the subframe.
first time it has shown the data in the report output but now same report with same data is not displying the output.
I'm sure this is due to some layout problem.(may be due to upgradation from 6i to 10g)
Please guide me to resolve this problem.

Hello,
How do you execute your Reports ?
Do you execute it from the Builder ?
If you execute it from the Builder, do you use Run Web Layout or Run Paper Layout ?
(If you have upgraded a Reports From 6i, there is no web layout , so you have to use the Run paper Layout
The web layout is something new that appeared in Reports 9.0.2)

Upgrade from 9i to 10g, solaris 8 listener problems now...

I recently upgraded some databases from 9i to 10g. In an attempt to punt
on the 9i listener - I attempted to start the 10g version of the listener
which is producing the following error:

I've read on this list that it might be a shared_memory_pool problem, So I
think I've maxed out the mount of shared memory. This is a Sun Fire V240
with 8G RAM, so /etc/system has:

I am totally at a loss as to what the issue might be save some new tags
needed in listener.ora... Any pointers/help more than welcome...

well, oracle's path seems to see 10g's version of the listener:

Upgrade from 9i to 10g (DBUA problem)

The database instance running on my server doesnt show up in the Database upgrade Assistant screen to be selected for upgrade.
The instance is running and I am able to access it using SQL plus.
Before the upgrade I had upgraded the OS from Windows NT to Windows 2003
Should I proceed with a manual upgrade in this case

Issues after upgrading the Obiee from 10g to 11g

Hi all,
We have recently upgraded our rpd from 10g to 11g. And a part of Webcatlog is being upgraded. We observe issues with the upgraded reports.
As the for the report prompts the script was taking lot of time. And the browser pop's a message either to 'stop' or 'continue'.
The report is taking lot of time to run than the usual 10g environment. And the path BP1 is also applied for the 11g environment.
Please suggest a troubleshoot method to overcome the issues with the upgraded reports.
Thank you,
Chris.

Reports upgradation from 6i to 10g

Hi!
We are upgrading all our reports and forms from 6i to 10g.
I am facing the following problem.
In our 6i report, we were scheduling a report from the report server (frequency every hour).
Here the output pdf file we are storing in a folder on the server.
We are assigning the full pathname and file name to the Desname in the After Parameter form Report trigger.
Desname := directory path||filename.pdf
This command works in 6i. The output pdf file is generated in the respective folder. But however this command is not working in the 10g server.
If we dont assign the path and file name to the Desname parameter then the o/p file is generated. It is going to the default location.
Can anybody help me in solving this problem? Is there any other method to achieve the same result?

Is there anybody who can help me on this? I need help urgently in this matter.

Issue in oracle upgrade from 9i to 10g.

Hi,
I have an MS access application running on oracle database.Recently database is upgraded from 9i to 10g.
After upgrade application is facing the conversion problem.it is throwing an error on varchar and time stamp field showing invalid timestamp message.NLS setting of both the version is same.Please suggest.

Thank you,
Here are the answers of your queries.
Yes,This is affecting only MS access application because no other application is accessing this database.
No,No other component of the application is changed or upgraded it is only database which is upgraded.
The error is ORA-06502:PL/SQL:numeric or value error:Character to number conversion error.(In the application the value of this field is defind as Double and in database table it is VarChar and the system was working fine untill database upgrade after upgrade it is giving above error.)
For another field it is giving the error "No valid timestamp" although the same was working fine before upgrade.
No I have not traced the actual sessions but from the backup of 9i I have checked NLS setting and compared it with 10g and found that both are the same.
Hope I have not confused you.

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).

Sorting issue after upgrade from 9i to 10g

Dear all,
It is found that the sorting behavior is different after upgrade from 9i to 10g.
In 9i, even if the SQL statement does not specify the ORDER BY clause, the sorting order is consistent for a particular SQL statement and most likely the sequence follows the searched key fields' order.
After upgrade to 10g, the query output could vary as long as the SQL statement does not specify the ORDER BY clause.
Is it due to the Reverse Docid Sorting issue? How can I troubleshoot this issue?
Thanks for your help,
M.T.

Thanks for your help,
M.T. This is expected behavior in 10g. Oracle will not order the dataset for you unless and until you explicitly specify it.
So without using order by clause in 10g, oracle doesn't guarantee that rows will be ordered.
To go back to old behavior like 9i, you can set a workaround by
alter session set "_newsort_enabled"=false;

Tag not being created after upgrade from 9i to 10g

We're upgrading from 9i to 10g - about time - and we've hit some "unexpected behaviour".
If I run
    SELECT xmlelement("TestMsg",
                    XMLFOREST(m.tx_id   "MsgNum",
                              m.tx_type "MsgTyp"
                              ) MESSAGE -- this is the alias for the XMLFOREST item
                    ) ut_xml
    FROM (select 1 tx_id, 'test' tx_type from dual) mon my 9.2.0.4 database I get
<TestMsg>
<MESSAGE>
    <MsgNum>1</MsgNum>
    <MsgTyp>test</MsgTyp>
</MESSAGE>
</TestMsg>- an extra tag is created based on the alias of the XMLFOREST item.
on my 10.2.0.4 database I get
<TestMsg>
<MsgNum>1</MsgNum>
<MsgTyp>test</MsgTyp>
</TestMsg>no MESSAGE tag.
Some of the XML parsing we have is taking account of this MESSAGE tag and hence is now breaking.
I guess my question is whether we've messed up the install of XMLDB or whether the 9i behaviour was incorrect and we should amend the parsing to the 10g behaviour.

Behavior change...?
SELECT xmlelement("TestMsg",
                    xmlelement("MESSAGE",
                    XMLFOREST(m.tx_id   "MsgNum",

Hi Satish
OS ie OEL 4 and i manually upgraded my db on 9i to 10g.Just get rid of the 9i home (assuming you don't have anything running from that home) and clean up the entries in oratab that refer to the 9i home.
On a side note, you might want to make a backup before you delete old 9i home.
