Upgrading from oracle 8i to oracle 11g

current Oracle version is 8i
front end is visual basic 6
OS is windows xp
client OS is windows xp
I guess this question has been asked a lot in here.
But i guess i have some extra queries here
-> I m using oracle 8i and now I want to upgrade it to 11g. Is there any complications. I mean can i simply export a dump file from oracle 8i and import it in oracle 11g using imp tool, importing everything. If not what are not imported and what are other complications and consequences.
-> My front end is vb 6 so is there gonna be any problem. If it's unsupported which version would u prefer for vb 6
-> Can i install oracle 11g in windows xp or at least can i install oracle client in xp.
-> what kind of server would you suggest for oracle 11g.
Is there anybody to help me out here as quickly as possible.
Thanx a lot

8i->11g direct is not possible.
Available option: Export and import.
You can upgrade to 9i from 9i to 11g is possible.

R12.1 upgrade from 11.5.10CU2 with 11g

Hi hsawwan,
I have some doubts about R12.1 upgrade process.
1. If i have 11.5.10.2 with 9.2.0.8 as database then can i upgrade to R12.1 using RapidWiz and during database upgrade screen, directly upgrade from 9.2.0.8 to 11.1.0.6 or 11.1.0.7 database?
2. If i have 11.5.10.2 with 11.1.0.7 as database then can i upgrade to R12.1 using RapidWiz or i have to do patchinf for it. Means to say that can i use RapidWiz for R12.1 upgrade from 11.5.10.2 with 11.1.0.7?
3. What will be the best practice to reduce downtimwe for R12.1 upgrade ?
Regards,
Manas Prakash Gupta

Hi hsawwan,
As pre-upgrade patching for 11.5.10.2 to R12.1 upgrade, i applied a patch 4582937 which is for PRE CONVERGENCE MIGRATION PATCH. There are some steps which are need to be performed after applying this patch. Below are the steps.
1) Perform the data mapping for org and warehouse migration through the UI available in OPM System Administration.
2) Run $GMA_TOP/patch/115/sql/GMAORGMG.sql as APPS user.
3) Review any errors generated in the Org Migration for the context "ORGANIZATION" and rerun GMAORGMG.sql after fixing the errors.
4) Run $GMA_TOP/patch/115/sql/GMAITSTP.sql as APPS user.
5) Review any errors generated in the Org Migration for the context "PRE_ITEM_MIG_SETUP" and rerun GMAITSTP.sql after fixing the errors.
6) Run $GMI_TOP/patch/115/sql/gmiitmin.sql as APPS user 7) Review any errors generated in the Org Migration for the context "ITEMS" and rerun gmiitmin.sql after fixing the errors.
I am not able to understand the first point (Perform the data mapping for org and warehouse migration through the UI available in OPM System Administration).
I logged into application and under OPM System Administration i didn't find anything related to mapping. Can you just tell me how to perform these steps (Specially the first one because in others we need to run scripts only).
Thanx,
Manas Prakash

Upgrading from OCS904 to OCS1012 - Oracle connector and others

We are planning an upgrade for OCS9042 to OCS1012.
But have focused almost exclusively on the server side upgrade.
How about the client side? Esp such things as upgrading Oracle Connector for
Outlook etc....
Is there a document that I can refer too?

I would suggest that you do (or prepare) a silent install of the Connector that users can execute after the upgrade. Distribute it in your environment and prepare some tests plus instruct your helpdesk to assist users.

Upgrade from R12 DB 10g to 11g Errors

Dear All,
I'm in the process of upgrading EBS R12 db from 10g to 11g. during the upgrade I encountered the below warnings/errors
1- ORA-01408: such column list already indexed: can I ignore this since the table is already indexed?
2- ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01166: file number 288 is larger than MAXDATAFILES (100)
ORA-01110: data file 288: '$ORACLE_HOME/apps_st/data/PROD/system10.dbf'
I have looking the directory $ORACLE_HOME/apps_st/data/PROD/ and system10.dbf is there. does this mean the error can be ignored and the DB can operate normally?
how can I avoid the above errors in the future
Thanks
Mohammed

Since you are using EBS, are you following the Upgrade Guides specific to EBS, which are MOS Docs

762669.1 - Using Oracle EBS R12 with a Database Tier Only Platform on Oracle 11gR1
In which step are you getting the warnings/errors ?
You cannot ignore the second error - it has to be fixed - pl see MOS Doc 18739.1 (OERR: ORA 1166 file number is larger than)

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,
There is really great information available in this link. But I would like to know whether any one faced any issues while upgrading from OBIEE 10g to 11g. Please do share us few issues....

Thanks,

Hi Khan;
You need to check upgrade doc for what you need for your upgrade,See our previous discussion
You are already good level of for db tier which is nice, but you need to check related docs for othere requiriment. You also need R12.1.1 setup which you can download from e-delivery.
You need also r12.1.3 patch. See:

Security Deprecated from WL 8.1 to 11g

Hello,
I am upgrading from weblogic 8.1 to 11g, the security model we used in 8.1(DefaultAuthenticatorMBean) has been deprecated in 11g . I have done a lot of reading on JMX, yet still haven't been able to successfully re-write our security. We have two bits of code that interact with the weblogic container, one class loads all of our users from the database, loads all of the groups from the database and also links the users with their associated groups. The second is handling all of the user management, ie validating a user against the container, updating the users password, deleting a user etc.
Does anyone have any working code that does something similar I can take a look at?
Thank you in advance.
Keith

Since the users/groups are in the database, consider using SQLAuthenticator. See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/secmanage/rdbms.html
If user management capability in WLS is a must have (CRUD on users/groups), then very likely there is a need for a custom Authentication provider. See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/web.1111/e13718/atn.htm#i1154044

Upgrade from 11i to r12 application servers with Discoverer 10g

Hello, one and all.
I have recently upgraded from 11i to r12 Oracle financial application server, after much patching and testing we finally came to the Discoverer application server.
Most workbooks open fine, however it seems that some of them (about 3%) reference columns that no longer exist in r12, for example, SET_Of_BOOKS_ID has become LEDGER_ID in r12 on the gl.gl_je_lines table.
This causes any workbook that references that business area to return an error 'Database Error - ORA-00904: " O974567"."SET_OF_BOOKS_ID": invalid identifier.
Well and good; I think that that's caused by the EUL not being refreshed after the upgrade, so I go to the Discoverer administrator and refresh the general ledger Business area. This unfortunately renames several objects inside the business area, including SET_OF_BOOKS_ID to LEDGER_ID, so instead of that error, we now get several 'Missing item or condition' errors until the workbook will not open at all with an 'Item dependency "" not found in the EUL.' error. This i assume is because the workbooks still reference the old items.
I'm guessing that several Business areas and objects therein have been renamed since nearly none of the workbooks will open now. I have restored the EUL from a backup (imported all the *.eex files) however I was wondering if anyone had faced this issue.
I apologize as I have very little understanding of Discoverer and this might be a simple fix, but I'm at this point willing to try anything for help.
Thanks!

Hi Srini
Srini,
To understand your above reply,
You say that
1) If they are based on 11i Discoverer EUL and Folders then export EUL And WorkBooks and Import them
into R12 Discoverer Environment..Refresh the EUL..So ORACLE will take care of the changes like 11i SOB vs R12 Ledegrs??Pl open a SR with Support on what to do with seeded EUL as part of this upgrade - I suspect you will need to import the R12 EUL as part of this upgrade.
>
2) If they are Custom SQL reports from 11i then just RECREATE them from SCRATCH..Correct - after you verify that they are changed to reflect the R12 data model

Am I right?

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.

DB Upgrade from Oracle 8i to Oracle 11g express edition

Hello,
As per the requirement i have to upgrade some of our application from oracle 8i to oracle 11g express edition on window base platform.
I am using import/export utility to migrate data from oracle 8i database to newly installed oracle 11g XE database. after importing i have tested my application in testing environment. It is working fine.Now I have to do this in production env. before proceeding with it.
please someone let me know what all things i have to keep in mind before execute in prod env. Like all risk,databse backup recovery, or any guidelines need to follow while upgrading lower version of oracle to 11g XE version.
waiting for your valuable inputs.

You might want to consider what other programs interacts with the database; can they still connect to a much newer db server version? Any integrations that need a dry run before going in production? Any other "ad hoc" applications, like excel, running against the db? (you could use listener.log to find out what connects to the db, but a year worth of history might be needed)
Do you have any scripts or other "loosly coupled" stuff that needs review?
Read the New features guides released between versions - there are five or six of them.
Check out the Database Upgrade forum (you could look at this as an upgrade in general from 8.1.x to 11.2), {forum:id=583}. Search the forum for previous related topics and ideas.

Upgrade from Oracle 8i in Win98 to Oracle 11g in Window Vista

Hi,
I have an existing system that runs in Window98 using Oracle 8i as database. We are planning to convert the system from using Oracle 8i to 11g, and this new converted system will be running in Window Vista.
What I have in mind is doing export and import from Oracle 8i to 11g, but it is quite troublesome. Is there anyway I can upgrade the db to 11g in Window Vista?

Hi,
When upgrading from 8i to 11g, you cannot perform direct upgrade anyway.
If you want to upgrade (not using exp/imp), you can install 9i (9.2.0.4 and up) on the win98 machine, and upgrade the database to 9i.
Then you can take the database files, copy them (like cold backup) to the vista server, and you will able to upgrade it to 11g.
Note that you cannot use the DBUA in this scenario, you will have to upgrade it manually.

.... The most likely response is from someone training to sell unauthorised learning materials.
..... The OCP should understand the exams topics and online manuals for 11g should be sufficient. Oracle Press Books and Sybex Books for 11g DBA OCP should also cover number of the required topics if that helps. Not to mention Oracle University Training.
...... But an OCP asking for a 'PDF' or 'PPT' for the 1z0-055 exam ??????? .... what form of content are you thinking?

Upgradation from Oracle 8i Forms/Reports to Oracle 11g Forms/Reports

Dear all, is it possible to upgrade our in-house developed ERP from 8i to 11g directly ?
If possible then please tell me the procedures,cost etc. for the same.
Is ORACLE provides training for the same ?
Its' urgent please!

Hi Sukhvinder,
ERP or not ... it must be an application using a database.
If your application is created with Forms you can upgrade a 6.0.8 Forms (+) --- directly ---> to 11g.
For a lower version you need to pass through an intermediate version: lower than 6.0.8 Forms ----> 10.1.2 -----> 11g.
You can take a look at http://www.in-oracle.com/Oracle-Middleware/OAS/oracle-forms-11g.php as well for more details.
