Upgrading 10g(9.0.4.3) to 10.1.2.0.2

hi,
Has anyone upgraded OAS 10g(9.0.4.3) to 10.1.2.0.2 successfully?
I have a non-colocated infra tier here.
Suse EE Linux 9 (no patch)
Infra and mid tier are installed on the same box but different Oracle_Home.
MR database is located on another box which has ben patched to version 10.1.0.5.
Webcache on mid tier, as I understand from the previous guy, is configured as a reverse proxy.
SSO server is configured as a virtual host.
I have attempted twice to upgrade my OAS unsuccessfully, especially for infra tier.
Mid tier upgrade do have some issues, but I already found out the patches required to fix that.
I begin my upgrade by upgrading the infra tier first since I'm on version 9.0.4.3 which the Oracle upgrade guide mention is possible.
But after upgrading the infra tier successfully without errors, I cannot access my SSO home page. I noticed also that the http daemons are started as root and there are lots of defunct httpd processes. These httpd processes keep spawning and dying. From the IAS management console for infra, "Single Sign-On" service is in unknow status, while the HTTP_Server service keeps going up and down.
opmnctl status on infra tier shows all services as "ALIVE" even when HTTP_Server service in IAS console keep swinging up and down.
Anyone have any clues?
I desperately need advise cause I upgrading a production environment.
I did upgraded my development environment successfully, but didnt faced any issues with infra tier upgrade. But having said that, my development environment do not have Webcache configured as a reverse proxy
Please advise.
Regards
Jimmy

  • Upgrade 10g to 11g

    We are upgrading 10G to 11g on the same box(UNIX). I just wanted to what are files I have to take back up before Upgrade. Below are the files I know..Please let me know if any extra
    RPP
    Catalog
    NQSconfig
    Instanceconfig
    I need to replace those files after installing 11g or edit according to 10G files...
    Also wanted to know that, we should install obiee 7.9.6.1 on top of OBIEE 10g so does 7.9.6.1 installs in same folders where 10g installed or it creates separate folder? and
    does it creates separate configuration files and catalog path for it it uses the existing 10g files?
    Please reply with some suggestions.
    Thanks in advance..

    Thanks Bala for your useful links..also please let me know does 7.9.6.1 installation creates new path for its installation or it installed with 10g installed folder. I mean to ask 7.9.6.1 installation creates new configuration files and catalog?

  • Upgrade 10G to use 10G thin jdbc drivers- OCI

    This is wierd...
    If I upgrade 10G app server to use the 10G thin JDBC drivers, and set up a data source to use the thin drivers, is there any way that I could score a[b] ORA-01010 invalid OCI operation error when I'm not using an OCI driver?
    Anyone else seen this...again, it makes no sense...

    You can not and should not use JDK 1.2 with 8i drivers.
    If you want to use JDK 1.2 drivers, download the 8.1.6 SDK

  • Oracle Database Upgradation 10g to 11g in HP unix

    Oracle Database Upgradation 10g to 11g (standalone DB & ASM is implemented) in HP unix ?
    Kindly furnish the good links and screen shot documents.
    Edited by: user11937849 on Apr 9, 2012 4:04 AM

    As part of the upgrade, you might research how new Oracle 11g features can help your system run better.
    Your upgraded system can effectively start using extended statistics, a very powerful new 11g feature, immediately after the upgrade. I have a detailed blog post on how to do this with OEM - http://iiotzov.wordpress.com/2011/11/01/get-the-max-of-oracle-11gr2-right-from-the-start-create-relevant-extended-statistics-as-a-part-of-the-upgrade

  • NULL and Unspecified in Dashboard prompts after upgrading 10g to 11g OBIEE

    Hi All,
    We are working on OBI upgradation project from 10g to 11.1.1.6.5. We are facing one issue in Dashboard prompt level. If we can create Dashboard prompt on a column, its giving "NULL", "Unspecified" additionally. But, in 10g there are no extra values.
    And the 10g, 11g instances are pointing to the same database and there are no NULL, Unspecified values in Database level.
    Through some blogs and articles we found some solutions n are below.
    To remove NULL:
    -->Go to the Physical Column properties in Physical Layer and Disable the Nullable option by uncheck the box.
    -->Go to the Database Features in Physical Layer and disable value to NULL_SUPPORTED.
    -->Go to Edit Dashboard Prompt, in Choice List Values drop-down list select SQL Results.
    To remove Unspecified:
    -->Go to Edit Dashboard Prompt, in Choice List Values drop-down list select SQL Results, then write the SQL statements as columnname is not equals to "Unspecfied" ( In this way we can able to remove Null's also.)
    -->Go to Content tab of LTS, in Where clause write an SQL query to restrict Unspecified values.
    Note: CHeck with ETL, because if they maintains the Default value is Null when the Datatype is Character and they can maintain 9999 or #### if the datatype is Numeric. And check the Physical query and debug it carefully.
    But, we have very big Repository and we have huge no.of Dashboard prompts. So, its not an easy thing to manage by using above solutions. Correct me if there are any mistakes in above.
    Any ideas on this...?
    Appreciate your help on this..!
    Thanks in Advance,
    Raghu Nagadasari

    Hi Frnds,
    As of now, i found the only solution for the above mentioned issue that how to avoid NULL in dashboard prompt level:
    Go to the Physical Column properties in Physical Layer and Disable the Nullable option by uncheck the box.
    We have done this manually for all tables.
    Appreciate if u have any other ideas.!!

    Question….can you use upgrade assistant in clustered environment?
    Thanks!

    You can only use the upgrade assistant to upgrade to a single instance Oracle BI 11g server. Typically this is a sandbox server environment or a VM that can simply be wiped clean after the upgrade. Then move the RPD,WebCat, etc. and AppRoles that get created during the upgrade process to a development server. The UA is looking for a single instance installation environment and that environment should be clean/fresh to avoid confusion and conflicts.
    Please award points if helpful.

  • Problem upgrading 10g Express to Apex 3.1.2

    I have Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 installed on windows XP. I want to develop an application using oracle express (apex), so I thought it would be a good idea to upgrade apex (from the default apex 2.0 that came with 10g xe) to the latest, release 3.1,2 before starting. I have tried up to upgrade twice & it has failed. Without going into a ton of details, based on log errors that I saw each time, it looks like installation script, apexins.sql, expects the 1st param to be the default tablespace instead of the password. Any ideas about this?
    My other questions are:
    1) Prior to upgrading to rel 3.1.2, do I need to create the apex user/passwd FIRST? The doc did not say to create the account first.(so I didn't). It says apexins parameters are the followiing, but the log errors I got seem to disagree:
    @apexins <password> <tablespace_htmldb> <tablespace_files> <tablespace_temp>
    <images> <connect>
    2) Am I following the correct installation instructions for apex rel 3? From what I read, I believe I can go directly from apex rel 2.0 to 3.1.2. I found 2 different install docs for release 3 & they were different. Both docs said to run the change passwd script(apxchpwd) after installation, but one installation doc had 2 additional scripts (which I didn't run). Can someone please point me to the right install instructions?
    3) After searching I found an old apex 2.2 installaction tutorial that says you need to install HTTP prior to APEX. Apparently I misinterpreted the 3.1 install doc that said HTTP was already included in oracle 9.2 or higher. I assumed that I didn't need to install HTTP since oracle xe is rel 10. Now I think I need to install HTTP first from the companion CD BEFORE upgrading to APEX 3.1.2. Is this correct?
    3) It says that 85M is required in SYSTEM tablespace for apex 3. The system tablespace size is 76800 (default).
    Should I increase it before attempting to upgrade again? (I expected the default to be big enough since apex comes with the db)
    4)Any suggestions/tips for starting over are more than welcome! Again I saw > 1 doc on how to cleanup a bad installation. Both said to drop the flows_0300 user, but one said to exec wwv_flow_upgrade.switch_schemas, which I did before I did attempted the 2nd install. Am I supposed to run the switch_schemas or not to cleanup a bad install? Also, in the troubleshooting doc I did not see an option for calling switch_schemas for my apex release (2.1) so I just followed the examples and substituted 'FLOWS_020100'. for 'FLOWS_020200' parameter. Was that a good or bad idea?
    5) Is there any other software (i.e application, server?) that needs be to installed before or after apex 3.1.2? Anything else I missed? The documentation is not clear & has omissions.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I'm assuming that you're doing this on a Windows based machine and Apex 3.1.2 has already been downloaded from the Application Express webpage and will use port http 8080.
    NOTE: Make sure your Oracle Database XE does not automatically startup when Windows boots up. If that is the case, then kindly disconnect Oracle Database XE before proceeding with any of these steps.
    Step 1: Unzip Apex to a suitable location (preferable "c:\oraclexe\apex").
    Step 2: Start a SQL Plus session from c:\oraclexe\apex and login as a "sysdba".
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    Step 3: Install Apex.
    +@apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/+
    Step 4: Reconnect Oracle Database XE.
    Step 5: Assign/Set images PATH for APEX in APEX_HOME folder where we have unzipped APEX i.e. c:\oraclexe.
    [email protected] APEX_HOME+
    Step 6: Assign/Set administrator credentials for/to APEX.
    [email protected] your_password+
    Step 7: Restart Oracle Database XE.
    Step 8: Apex configuration completed. Availability will be as follows:
    Apex availability: http://localhost:8080/apex
    Apex Administrator: http://localhost:8080/apex/apex_admin
    Follow these steps and let me know if this works for you or not.
    Regards,
    Naveed.

  • Custom Reports Server Issue (upgrading 10g to Weblogic 11g)

    I am having an issue with "Anonymous' user showing up when I go into the console of the Weblogic server to see all the report requests. In 10g (which we are upgrading from), I have report requests that I do a Preview from within Oracle Forms. When I do the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT/SHOW.WEB_DOCUMENT, it captures the User account and put it in the console with that username. On 11.1.1.4, using same form/report, it doesn't capture the username. If I call the reports server from the database, it does work fine.
    Anyone have any ideas if there's something I have to do in Oracle Forms to put that username in or if it's a setting on the Custom Reports Server that i need to set so that it captures the name from the Oracle Forms session.

    Hi A. Drieux,
    Thanks for the reply. i have some questions on ODI.
    Now we are using hyperion 11.1.1.3 with ODI 10.1.3. We are upgrading hyperion version 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2.
    Is it possible, to use the same ODI 10.1.3 version to upgrade version(hyperion 11.1.2.2) also?
    Reply would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Patch for upgrading 10g AS from 10.1.2.0.2 to 10.1.2.1

    Hi All,
    I am in process of doing 10g AS integration with 11.5.10.2.
    here as per documentation i have seen that this 10g AS has to upgrade
    My 10g AS version is 10.1.2.0.2
    The below msg is as per Oracle Documentation
    If you are running Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.0) or Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.1) Standard Edition One, then apply the Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.1 patch before applying Oracle Application Server Portal Upgrade.
    I have searched a lot in metalink for patch but no luck
    So please let me know the right patch to upgrade my 10g AS from 10.1.2.0.2 to 10.1.2.1
    Also any supporting document for this upgrade
    Thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Bhanu Chander.

    I have downloaded patch p5983622_10123_LINUX.zip
    and first tried to upgrade infrastructure home
    but while upgrading it says
    oracle universal installer has detected that your database is version 10.1.0.4.2 before you can continue you must apply a required database patch set.
    But in documentation i have seen
    Supported Database Releases
    The portal schema may be residing in an OracleAS Metadata Repository, or in a customer database. The database in which the portal schema resides must be one of the following supported releases:
    Oracle Database 10g (10.1.0.4.2) or later
    Please let me know what should i do now
    Thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Bhanu Chander.yes, because the Infrastructure Database needs to be upgraded. And it is listed in the documentation of the same patch set.
    In the Readme file for the patch set 3 (5983622 or p5983622_10123_LINUX) as you mentioned, please see Section 5. Before you begin applying this patch set
    It reads the following:
    "5.6 Applying the Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.5) Patch Set
    The Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.5) patch set must be applied to all database instances (for both the Identity Management and Metadata Repository installation type and Metadata Repository only installation type) before applying OracleAS 10g Release 2 Patch Set 3. If OracleAS 10g Patch Set 2 (10.1.2.2.0) has been applied previously, then you do not have to apply the database patch."
    hope that explains what you need to do. i.e, your infra DB version is 10.1.0.4.2 and needs to be upgraded to 10.1.0.5.

  • Upgrade 10g Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 to 10.1.3.3

    Dear All,
    I am very new to application server
    we have an 10g Apps Server Release 2 10.1.2.0.2 and we want to upgrade this server to Release 3 10.1.3.3
    J2ee Applications are deployed on this application server which we want to upgrade
    Can anybody please help me in this regard?
    thanx in advance

    10.1.2.0.2 is the BI and Forms install. 10.1.3.3 has no BI and Forms install. The next version to include BI and Forms will be 11g, which was initially slated to ship last winter but has been delayed. If you need BI & Forms the highest you can go is 10.1.2.0.2. If you want to license an additional install, you can put 10.1.3.3 onto another server.

Maybe you are looking for
