Upgrade from 8i to 9i or 10g

What are the points to be considered while upgarding from 8i to 9i or 10g? Any standrad feature comparison available on all these 3 ?

In addition to the above replies, you need to know the Upgrade methods i.e. Manually, Export/Import Utility, and DBUA (Database Upgrade Assistance).
I hope you can find more documents and checklist for the same in Oracle.com and google.com.

After upgradation from Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g,one proc is throwing error

recently upgraded from Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g. We have some Oracle procedures which are not working in Oracle 10g.
A section of code from one of the procedures looks somewhat like the code below:
Declare
Cursor c_matched_records (…..) is
Select a.field 1, b.field2
From table1 a, table2 b
Where a.field3=b.field1
FOR UPDATE;
BEGIN
For records in c_matched_records
LOOP
-- Continue processing
-- Update records
COMMIT;
END LOOP;
END;This section of the code throws out the following error in Oracle 10g
ORA-01002: fetch out of sequence during PUT outputFile file
However this code was working fine in Oracle 9i.
please help me with this?
Thanks

I believe you are lucky that the pl/sql is okay in Oracle 9i. How about remove the commit statement? Why do you need it in the loop. I look up metalink. You may refer to article ID 257914.1

Upgrading from Forms 6i to Forms 10g

Does Forms 10g support direct upgradation from 6i to 10g version or have to go step wise from 6i to 9i and 9i to 10g. Also suggest ways of handling the run time errors arising. Does Oracle provide some patches to facilitate a smooth transition fromo 6i to 10g.

Thanx Grant,
Can you also suggest as to what complications can arise as many built-ins in 6i have been discarded in 10g. Does the pathes available take in most part of the work in upgradation. I have around 1000 forms in 6i on a complex finance & insurance sectar. Will be pleased if you can suggest the best way of migration.
As suggested the bath mode will be the likely option as individually compiling each .FMB would be combursome.
Are there some specific de-bugging tools available.

Upgrading from unix 8i to windows 10g

Hi,
I am upgrading the oracle 8i in unix to oracle10g in windows 2000 server.
I just exported from oracle8i
exp system/manager file=full.dmp full=y That was fine.
and then,
I installed the oracle10g in windows box and create the tablespaces as the oracle8i with same name (tablespace,datafile...etc)
and then I tried to import the full.dmp file to oracle10g,
But there are lots of error messages.
I don't know what the problem is.
is there something wrong the procedures what i've done?
Help.....
Thanks

Export and import is by far the easiest approach.
Pre-creating the tables is pretty easy. Take the export, run it through import with the INDEXFILE parameter to get the DDL. Use your favorite text editor to remove the clauses like PCTINCREASE that are invalid in a locally managed tablespace. Create the tables using that DDL, then run the import.

Best way to upgrade OCP from 8 to 9i to 10g

Got certified awhile back and need to upgrade my certification - been doing Java programming in the interim but now need the OCP for a new job opportunity that pays much more. Any suggestions on getting certified and what path to take? Should I upgrade from 8 to 9i to 10g or should I just take all the 10g cert tests (might have to go back to school for that path though)? What are your opinions?
Also, as a side question - are there more job opps for Oracle Developers versus Oracle DBAs? If there are more job opps for Oracle Developers, maybe I should concentrate on Oracle Developer Certification versus the Oracle DBA route. What are your opinions on this view?

What are your opinions on this view?You've probably seen [http://www.oracle.com/education/certification] -> 'Already Certified' -> 'Upgrade your certification' ... 1z0-035 + 1z0-040.
But go are probably correct in saying if you've not been doing DBA work for a while then 1z0-042+1z0-043 (I assume you already have 1z0-001) may be better. (I dont think you would mandatorily have to attend a hands on course though of course is advised ... firstly on certview then check with ocpexam_ww ).
In some parts of the world there are probably an excess of people with DBA certifications .... so there may be more job opportunities for developers especially having both java and PL/SQL.

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...
Getting pre-run patch inventory...failed.

Challenges while Upgrading from OBIEE 10g to 11g

Hi Gurus,
This is Kiran again. This time I am back with the upgradation issues. We have a client which is currently on OBIEE 10g. All components are already configured in OBIEE 10g with client on RPD, Catalog and implemented all security levels for those.
Now the challenge is to upgrade all activities which we have configured in OBIEE 10g. I have seen lot of stuff online and understood how to upgrade from OBIEE 10g to OBIEE 11g by simply clicking on ua.bat file. But I am unable to understand the process how it is upgrading the securities and environments.
Can anyone help me out by providing necessary stuff I need to take care of before taking the decision to upgrade from OBIEE 10g to 11g.
And also please clear me whether we will have any challenges in upgrading process. If yes, then what kind of challenges we will face and what kind of necessary steps we need to implement to resolve it.
What kind of Architecture we need to follow?
How Schedulers will get upgraded?
Please help me out with your real experiences (Not the online websites). Your response will be highly appreciated and it will help lot of OBIEE professionals who are in the process of upgradation.
Thanks in Advance to all OBIEE GURUS.
Kiran

Hi Valli,

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)

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

The optimizer changed after upgrade from 8i to 10g

I have upgraded my Oracle database from 8i (8.1.7.3) to 10g (10.2.0.3). After upgraded, there's some SQLs are with performance issue that the response time is very slow. The SQL can run very fast (around 1 seconde) in the pre-upgrade environment. Also, after generating the execution plan, there's different from the original enivronment (8i) which the query using some full table scan instead of index scan originally used in 8i.
The optimizer_mode of 8i is RULE and it's CHOOSE when upgraded.
My questions are:
1. Do I have any init.ora parameters setting in 10g environment which differ from 8i?
2. What method of analyzing tables is appropriate to use in 10g? Will this affect the performance like my case?
Thanks,
Wai

Please have a look to following threads:

Upgrading from 9,2.0.6 (HP-UX) to 10g or 11g on Redhat Linux?

Generally what are the steps to upgrade from 9,2.0.6 (HP-UX) to 10g or 11g on Redhat Linux?
Can I exp the database on 9.2.0.6 (HP-UX) then imp the database to a new 10/11g database (RedHat Linux)?
Is this the simplest way?

To change platforms require the database instance be re-built and / or the data moved using one of the following methods:
Export / Import to include the use of Datapump facilities. all versions support Export/Import but for Datapump 10.1.0.2 or higher is required
Transportable Tablespaces 10G or Later
RMAN Convert Database functions. 10G or Later
Streams Replication
Create Table As Select (CTAS)
Oracle Golden Gate
As your database is 9.2.0.6 you can only use export/import. Please refer to the MOS doc 733205.1 for further clarification
