Upgrade from 9 to 10g

Can the directory ( where oracle db 9 is installed ) be deleted after the upgrade to 10g in a separate directory ?
The tablespaces/customer data from db9 are also installed in separate directories.

Typically there could be a number of interesting files in the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs or %ORACLE_HOME%\database directory. These include things like password files, init.ora files, and so on.
If there is nothing left in the original ORACLE_HOME, then no files should have been updated in any of the subdirectories - should be easy enough to search for any files that have been modified since the upgrade was completed. If none, and you are still uncertain, renaming the old ORACLE_HOME and leaving it to soak for a few days provides a measure of comfort.

  • 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.

    Hi Valli,

  • Upgrading from Oracle 10G standard edition to Oracle 10G enterprise edition

    Hi
    I want to upgrade from Oracle 10G standard edition to Oracle 10G enterprise edition. Is there any script provided by oracle which I can run on existing Oracle 10G standard edition to upgrade to enterprise edition after completing the licensing formalities or do I need to install Oracle 10g Enterprise edition from scratch and then migrate my data.
    Ramanbir S

    You will not need to perform any data migration to upgrade to EE. The diffetence between standard en enerprise editions are the features offered. When you upgrade you can use the same set of files you used to install standard edition and just add the enterprise edition features you want to use in the 'Custom' section of the Universal Installer.

    Hi Guys,
    I have to upgarde 9I to 10G...I just want to get confirmation abt the downloads from marketplace from which I can run the DBUA...If I am not wrong , then DBUA should be there in
    DVD ORACLE RDBMS 10.2 or ORACLE 10.2 Client ..Can anybody please confirm???...

    This is not correct and you can get errors if you do it like that.
    First you install the base software (10.2.0.1)
    Then you install the patch set (10.2.0.2 or 10.2.0.4)
    After this you install ALL required patches.
    Finally, you do the upgrade.

    Hi Padmanabh
    How are you doing the upgrade?
    Personally, because you have to use a new weblogic server anyway I would install a clean 11g and then re-apply any preferences. With that done I would export the entire EUL from 10g and import it into the clean 11g. You'll be up and running in no time at all.
    There is no need to upgrade the EUL as it is the same in both 10g R2 and 11g.
    Best wishes
    Michael

  • 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.

    FOLLOW UP QUESTION BRANCHED:
    Oracle Upgrade from 10g to 11g [BRANCHED BY MODERATOR]

  • Forms HOST command no longer works after database upgrade from 10g to 11g

    Hi,
    After upgrading the database 10g to 11g the forms HOST command no longer works on Unix server. The form used to work fine prior the upgrade. I read all the threads I could find and did not see any solutions. Adding PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not work because it does not even run a basic shell script. (I saw this solution, adding PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, in many questions / threads).
    1. I wouldn't expect the database upgrade to be an issue, but it is the only change we had.
    2. Note, 11g is Oracle Fusion Middleware which is quite a bit different than 10g.
    I even tried the most basic commands like "echo" which is a build-in Unix command and there is no directory for it (ie. no /usr/bin - so variable PATH is irrelvent). i.e HOST('echo hi'); and HOST('echo "hi" '); and even HOST ('echo hi > /my_file.txt'); all returns FORMS_FAILURE (actually the if is IF FORM_SUCCESS THEN ... else ... and the else part always runs now - whereas it didn't before.).
    Or basic commands like /usr/bin/ls as in HOST(/usr/bin/ls). At that point I was just testing the Unix command would return FORM_SUCCESS even though I could not see the results (because they weren't writing to a log file). Notice that I'm using the direct path /usr/bin so no Unix environment variables were needed.
    The form does use webutil but that part works. For example, we have webutil_file_transfer( ....) The file shows up on the application server and in the expected directory.
    Here's the main goal. Upload a file from clients local PC to the datebase server. The form uploads the file to the Application server, then we have a Unix script to scp (secure copy) the file from the application server to the database server. IF webutil, or any other Oracle functions could put the file on the database server that would be better. But, I don't know of any procedures that do that - or would have done it cleanly (i.e. storing to database and write back to server and then using a blob etc. )
    Anyway, I was hoping someone would help with either of these.
    1) Get the HOST command to work. - If we can get that to work then I wouldn't need any more help. We can just call the already existing Unix script to copy the file from the application server to the database.
    2) OR be able to upload directly to the database server - wanted to do that originally
    Any help would be appreciated

    Solution for those interested and for anyone else searching this forum for a solution
    I found this on My Oracle Support:
    <h3>Host Command from Forms Not Working in 11g in Sun Solaris Sparc OS [ID 1157346.1]</h3>
    Applies To: Oracle Forms - Version 11.1.1.1.0 and later
    Sun SPARC Sun OS
    Symptoms:
    When trying to execute a Shell script or any OS command using the host() Built-in from Forms 11g, the host()command is not getting executed. The same functionality works on other operating systems and in previous versions like 10gR2.
    Steps to be followed:
    1) Take a backup and edit the $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/WLS_FORMS/applications/formsapp_11.1.1/config/default.env or any custom environment file.
    2) Locate the following environment variable:
    LD_PRELOAD=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
    3) Comment out this variable. After the changes, it will look like the following:
    #LD_PRELOAD=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
    3) a) Instead of LD_PRELOAD, kindly use LD_PRELOAD_64 as given below :
    LD_PRELOAD_64=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
    (This makes HOST AND RUN_REPORT_OBJECT work fine).
    4) Save the file and execute your forms. The Host() built-in will work as expected
    The LD_PRELOAD setting in default.env is only required for the working of signal chaining facility in JVM version 1.5 and later. If you are not using theSignal chaining facility, this variable is not required. For more information, refer to the following documentation
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e14772/forms.htm#CJAJGAFF

  • 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)

  • 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,

  • 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
