Upgrade to 11gR2

I have RAC 11gR1 (11.1.6.0.1) and I want to upgrade the database only (to 11gR2).
I have that upgrade the ASM to (11gR2) obligatorily????
How i do it?
thanks so muchhhhh

Hi schavali,
nooo,
The problem is..
The next when i run ./runInstaller 11gR2 ( to upgrade)
[INS-35351] Inconsistant versions detected.
[INS-35375] Installer has detected an older version of ASM instance on
the system.
If you intend to upgrade a database that is using ASM for storage,
then you must upgrade ASM instance first. For instructions about
upgrading ASM instance, refer to installation guide for Grid
Infrastructure.
Buttt, I don't want to upgrade the ASM and CLUSTERWARE.
I want upgrade the database only to 11gR2
you understand me??
Thanksssss

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:

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

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

Hello,
Since this is not a Berkeley DB question you might find the Database - Upgrade forum

Hi again,
I have a question about upgrading DB to 11gR2. Using DBUA, performed upgrade, and reached the point where I'm supposed to set Database Initialization Parameters (according to 396009.1). However, during the upgrade, I chose option "Do Not Move Database Files", and now I don't have initPROD.ora in my new $ORACLE_HOME/dbs. Which files should I copy from the old ORACLE_HOME? Which to edit? Any advice would do, thanks in advance.
MayloYou should have the init.ora file under the same directory. However, if the file is missing you can copy it from the old $ORACLE_HOME as mentioned above.

How to upgrade Forms 11gR2 to use JAVA 7 after it was installed with JAVA 6

I recently installed Forms 11gR2 on a development server. We are trying to have the latest versions of everything to migrate from Forms 10g and assure we have support for the next few years.
Our platform has the following software configuration:
Solaris 10 (Update 19) SPARC 64 bits
Weblogic 11g (10.3.6) that was installed with Java JDK 1.6.0_38
Forms 11g R2 (11.1.2.1) that was also installed with
Java JDK 1.6.0_38
I tried to install Weblogic and Forms using the latest Java 7 JDK (1.7.0_25) but I got an error in the final steps of Forms setup, when I was configuring the domain. I searched online and found a couple of tips but nothing worked. The installation was stuck at the
Creating Weblogic Domain step. So I decided to try the installation process with the Java 6 JDK that we are using right now for Forms 10g, and it worked perfectly. I have now two options but I don't know which one might be the better path:
Uninstall Weblogic and Forms 11g completely, and try to re-install them again with Java 7, trying to fix the error that I got at the end of the configuration process.
Try to upgrade the current Forms 11g installation from Java 6 to Java 7. I found a blog that might suggest it is possible, but I don't know if it may cause additional issues along the road. http://pitss.com/us/2013/02/20/how-to-use-java-7-with-oracle-forms-11g-in-an-oracle-supported-environment/
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have, or if any of you has experience installing Forms 11gR2 with Java 7 it might be great to know how to fix this error. It might be worth mentioning that when I installed Forms and Weblogic with Java 6 I used exactly the same values, ports, options and paths. The error appears like this in the installation logs and the process hangs there:

Well if I got it to work with java 6 I'd leave it alone, to say the least. The elephant in the room is the certification matrix.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/overview/index.html
there's 2 issues, what jdk does forms on the server want? Bigger question, what JRE is acceptable on the client?
You would surely want the jre to be 7 on the client. Regarding the jdk on the server, you could leave it as is IMHO.
Note that there was a patch to 11gr2. In conclusion, be sure to check the cert matrix regarding what is certified for the jdk for the server.
I think the matrices are saying that if you have forms 11.1.2.1.0 that you can use the jdk 7. but like I said the big issue is what can the client use?
As I read the matrix I think it is saying you have to have 11.1.2.1.0 to use the jre 7 on the client.
So I would say if you have 11.1.2.1.0 on the server you are good because it's not a problem to have the jdk 6 on the server, if not you have to apply the patch in order to enable the jre 7 on the client.

10.2.0.4 upgrade to 11gR2

I am upgrading 10.2.0.4 database to 11gR2 .
10g DB timezone version is 4 . Do I need to have the same timezone version on 11gR2?
What is the default timezone version in 11gR2?

Ever read the doc before going to upgrade to a newer version ?

Database upgrade to 11gR2

Client upgraded the development environment to 11gR2 (11.2.0.1) yesterday, and now mappings generated from OWB (client is 10.2.0.1.31) to development throw an RPE-01011 (incompatible version) error.
The OWB design repository is in a standalone database. That database has not been upgraded yet (at 10.2.0.4).
Would it be possible to use the 11.2 OWB design "piece" against a 10.2.0.1 repository, or is there a patch available that would allow the 10.2.X client to deploy to a 11.2.0.1 database?

Hi,
I wanted to start a new thread, but this one touches a similar problem:
A customer plans to migrate a huge DWH from 10gR2 to 11gR2; but there are over 2000 mappings which he don't want to re-deploy. In general, this is not recommendable, but would it work at all? A 11gR2 runtime executing 10gR2 generated mappings? My first thought was this "incomaptible versions" error. I haven't the infrastructure to test it on the fly, so I'm asking before answering to the customer.
regards
Thomas

Oracle Database 11gR1 32-bit upgrade to 11gr2 64-bit

Hello All,
My current server is having following configuration:
OS               : RHEL 4.6 32 bit
Product         : Oracle EBS 11i
DB               : 11gR1
Target machine:
OS               : RHEL 5.8 64 bit
I want to convert my current single node EBS 11i to multi-node (two node) architecture. We have to migrate our 11gR1 over 64 bit machine.
I was trying to create create a 32 bit instance over new target server through rapid clone. But it is not supported to install 32 bit 11g over 64 bit OS, so I am now taking new path to do the same, trying to upgrade 11gR1 32 bit database directly to 11gr2 64 bit. Please suggest me appropriate procedure to perform it. Any Oracle Document over the same would be wonderful. I tried to search over Metalink but with no success.
Kindly share your experience if anyone here performed the same or similar.
Regards
RanjanS

You can get 11gR1 64-bit download this way:
Previous Database Release Software
Oracle Database 10.2 and 11.1 are no longer available for download. The software is available as a media or FTP request for those customers who own a valid Oracle Database product license for any edition.
To request access to these releases, follow the instructions in Oracle Support Document 1071023.1 (Requesting Physical Shipment or Download URL for Software Media) from My Oracle Support.
NOTE: for Oracle Database 10.2, you should request 10.2.0.1 even if you want to install a later patch set. Once you install 10.2.0.1 you can then apply any 10.2 patch set. Similarly, for 11.1 request 11.1.0.6 which must be applied before installing 11.1.0.7. Patch sets can be downloaded from the Patches and Updates tab on My Oracle Support.
And about direct upgrade I have done that successfully for minor versions for example 11.1.0.6 to 11.1.0.7 so that might be possible also for 11.1. to 11.2 .

Special Patch for 10.2 in order to do an rman restore upgrade to 11gR2

Am about to start on the 11gR2 upgrade process and was talking with some dba-friends in other companies to learn what not to do , etc. I had mentioned that I wanted to do an RMAN restore then alter resetlogs upgrade and let the upgrade process automatically take me to 11gR2. He mentioned that he had tried that but had run into an rman error when 10g did not have some table in the data dictionary, but there should be a patch for that. Essentially he said the patch would put the pre-11g table needed for an rman restore upgrade. He didnt have the information available and has yet to get back to me, and I have searched metalink looking for it with no luck.
Has anyone else hit this error and could provide either the metalink article, however , better the patch number i need. I will be going from 10.2.0.3 to 11gR2 via an rman restore to a remote system and then issuing an alter ....resetlogs upgrade command.
Thanks in advance

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.
