Upgrading oracle database 9.2.0.5 to 9.2.0.8 for Oracle E-Business suite

I have applied patch to upgrade Oracle E-business suite(11.5.10) database from 9.2.0.5 to 9.2.0.8. but after applying patch also it showing 9.2.0.5. please help me.

Thanks Hussain for ur reply
server OS is windows server 2003 std. i have performed following steps
1.     First I installed 11.5.10.2 Technology Stack Validation Patch (Revision 1 July, 2005) on both application (D:\Oracle\visappl) and database (D:\oracle\Visdb\9.2.0) home. (p4318672_11i_GENERIC.zip)
2.     Then I review the html log file generated for both the home. Html file generated for oracle home with ALL PASS status. But html file for DBMS oracle home has return FAIL status. I review the reason in txkVal11510MP_DB.html. it gives me following reason to fail
“11.5.10.2 requires that your Oracle 9iR2 database version to be 9.2.0.6.0 or higher on Windows platform. Please refer to Oracle MetaLink Note 216550.1 "Oracle Applications Release 11i with Oracle 9i Release 2 (9.2.0)" to upgrade to the latest certified version of Oracle 9iR2. After upgrading to 9.2.0.6, you must apply 9.2.0.6 patch 5 ( 4287598 ) before upgrading to 11.5.10.2. “
3.     I went through the Metalink Note 216550.1. I refer Section 2 of it. I applied patch 5035661. when I applied this patch , output of this patch mentioned that OUI 2.2 is already installed on both the Home.
4.     Then I applied 9.2.0.6 patch 5 (4287598). Prior to this I applied patch 2617419 because patch 4287598 require OPatch 1.0.0.0.52.
5.     I performed patch 4287598 post installation task also. I didn’t apply windows patch 6, because my database was not showing 9.2.0.8 as required by windows patch 6.
6.     so this is the complete task list I have done to upgrade database from 9.2.0.5 to 9.2.0.8
output of given query is as below:
Oracle9i Catalog Views     9.2.0.5.0     VALID
Oracle9i Packages and Types     9.2.0.5.0     VALID
Oracle9i Real Application Clusters     9.2.0.5.0     INVALID

Phil,
By "multiple result sets open", do you mean you are using REF Cursors, or do you have multiple statements opened, each with its own ResultSet? If you could post an example showing what the problem is, that would be very helpful.
You don't happen to have 'for update' clause in your SQL statement, do you?
Thanks

Problem in installing oracle database 11g express edition

while installing oracle database 11g express edition during product specific prerequisite check, checking for oracle XE service instance is failed, what to do ?

Hello, and welcome to the OTN forums,
the prerequisites are documented quite well. I'm not sure about the actual error message, but from what you write it sounds like you already have another Oracle XE install on your machine, possible the Oracle 10g XE. As mentioned in the Installation Guide, you may have only one instance per server, so the installer fails.
If that's not the reason, can you please post the exact error message you receive?

Is RAID 5 not recommended for Oracle database ?

- I am planning to install Oracle database
Here are the specs:
- Dell PowerEdge T610 server
- Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit )
- 24 GB memory
- Oracle 10g database (64-bit database)
- Our database is for an ERP based client server application
- Will have around 35-45 users
- Will have around 150-200 transaction per day ( 8AM-5PM) only database
- database would be around 10-15GB (data files)
Now I am planning to buy the hardware server, I heard that RAID 5 is not recommended for Oracle database.
Is it true ?
What do you recommended for Oracle database ? RAID 5 (or) RAID 1

johnpau2013 wrote:
I heard that RAID 5 is not recommended for Oracle database.
Is it true ?Kind off... as Oracle (as per the RAC Starter Kits for example) explicitly recommends SAME - as in Stripe And Mirror Everything.
This is a combination of RAID1 and RAID0.
However, you will also get whitepapers from storage vendors like EMC in partnership with Oracle, that explains how to configure and use RAID5 storage and how effective this is. And as some will tell you, RAID5 can work just fine with Oracle... and some others will grimace and tell you how bad an idea that is from personal experiences.
In a nutshell - RAID5 requires a parity calculation on each write. That is a very expensive overhead if that calculation impacts the fwrite() (file write) command of a process writing data to disk. It significantly slows down the write operation.
However, if that parity calculation is done asynchronously and does not effect the elapsed time for a fwrite(), then a fwrite() to RAID5 is as fast or as slow as it would be to RAID10 for example.
Unsure how many modern storage system supports off-loading the parity calculation and not impacting the write I/O call. This can be done using ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), specialised s/w on the storage server, etc.
Whatever you put in place - test the RAID config thoroughly up front and ensure that performance is up to specs. There's a utility called fio (<i>Flexible I./O</i>) written by a Linux kernel hacker that works for Oracle. It is an excellent utility to use to generate and test I/O - but it is Linux and Unix based.
Any specific reason using Windows? Linux is by far a more predominant 64bit operating system than Windows, and has significant higher market share in Oracle RDBMS than Windows. Given the fact that over 93% of the 500 fastest computer systems on this planet runs Linux, I'm always kind of amazed that some would still use Windows as a server-side o/s for Oracle.

Re: 32 Bit ODBC Driver for Oracle 11g 11.2.0.1.0

Hi,
Were you able to resolve the problem with these troubleshooting measures ?
Please let me know since i am facing similar issues like yours.
I am using a Windows 7 64 bit and from QTP installed on this machine , i am trying to connect to Oracle database.
Now initially i installed a 64 bit ODBC for Oracle . But when i did that and ran the Script below :
Set objDatabase = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set rs=createobject("adodb.recordset")
objDatabase.open "DRIVER={Oracle in OraClient11g_home1} ; DATA SOURCE=Oracle; SERVER= xyz ; DATABASE=abc1; UID=abc ; PASSWORD= abc123;"
rs.Open "select * from tablename", objDatabase
'result1 = objDatabase.Execute("select * from tablename")
'msgbox result1
Do while not rs.eof
print rs.fields("columnname")
rs.movenext
Loop
print rs.fields("columnname")
it gives me an error
“[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application”
So i am assuming that i need to install the 32 bit ODBC drivers for Oracle as well in addition to the already installed 64 bit drivers ..
Any thoughts on this ?

64 bit apps need 64 bit Oracle client software.
32 bit apps need 32 bit Oracle client software.
You should be able to tell the bit-ness of the app by checking the Process tab in task manager to see if it has *32 next to it.
You can install both 32 bit and 64 bit Oracle client software on the same box, but you need to do it into different homes, and different oracle_base should also be used.
There isnt an Oracle client install bundle that installs both, you'll need to do each separately.
Hope it helps,
Greg

Embedded License Resource Kit for Oracle Application Server 10g

Hi,
I work for a company and we are an Oracle partner. We would like to deliver our flagship product with Oracle Database and Application Server (10g) embedded.
According to an Oracle press release back in october 2003, Embedded License Resource Kits for Oracle Database and Oracle Application Server are available through the Oracle Partner Network (http://www.oracle.com/corporate/press/2484668.html)
I found a kit for Oracle Database through OPN but was not able to find one for Oracle Application Server 10g.
Does such a kit still exist for Oracle Application Server, and if yes where can I download it?

Go to MyOracleSupport/Metalink.
Click patches and Updates on the top left bar. Download the patches.
Each patch comes with its readme.txt. Do read it. It shows you how to install the patch. it also gives syntax with example for various scenarios of how to install it, or remove a patch either. In most of the patches, Installing a patch again does not hurt your system.
It's a good practice to keep db inventory clean before attempting to install the patch because otherwise the patch installation will fail.
hope that helps!

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 .

G.7.2 Migrating an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) Database
To migrate an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) database for 32-bit Windows to an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) database for 64-bit Windows:
Install Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) for 64-bit Windows.
See Also:
Oracle Database Installation Guide for Windows
Create the new Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) service at the command prompt:
C:\> ORADIM -NEW -SID SID [-INTPWD PASSWORD ]-MAXUSERS USERS
-STARTMODE AUTO -PFILE ORACLE_HOME\DATABASE\INITSID.ORA
The following table provides more information on the values you must supply.
Parameter      Description
SID     SID of the database you are upgrading
PASSWORD     Password for the new Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) for 64-bit Windows database. This is the password for the user connected with SYSDBA privileges. The -INTPWD option is not required. If you do not specify it, then operating system authentication is used, and no password is required.
USERS     Maximum number of users who can be granted SYSDBA and SYSOPER privileges
ORACLE_HOME     Oracle home directory. Ensure that you specify the full path name with the -PFILE option, including drive letter of the Oracle home directory.
Copy the 32-bit datafiles to the new 64-bit Oracle home.
Copy the 32-bit configuration files to the 64-bit Oracle home.
If your 32-bit initialization parameter file has an IFILE (include file) entry, then copy the file specified by the IFILE entry to the 64-bit Oracle home and edit the IFILE entry in the initialization parameter file to point to its new location.
If you have a password file that resides in the 32-bit Oracle home, then copy the password file to the 64-bit Oracle home. The default 32-bit password file is located in ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\database\pwdSID.ora., where SID is your Oracle instance ID.
In the 64-bit Oracle home, add the _SYSTEM_TRIG_ENABLED = false parameter to the ORACLE_HOME\database\ORACLE_SID \init.ora file before changing the word size.
Remove this parameter from the initialization file after the word size change is complete.
See Also:
Oracle Database Upgrade Guide for more information on changing word size
Go to the 64-bit ORACLE_HOME\rdbms\admin directory from the command prompt.
Start SQL*Plus:
C:\> sqlplus /NOLOG
Connect to the database instance as SYSDBA:
SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA;
Re-create the 64-bit control files using the CREATE CONTROLFILE command. Edit the trace file created in "Backing Up a 32-Bit Oracle Database" to change the paths to the datafiles, log files and control files to point to the Oracle home on the 64-bit computer. This creates the new control file in ORACLE_HOME\database.
Here is an example of a database named "orcl32" on a 32-bit computer migrating to "orcl64" on a 64-bit computer:
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "T1" NORESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOG
    MAXLOGFILES 32
    MAXLOGMEMBERS 2
    MAXDATAFILES 32
    MAXINSTANCES 16
    MAXLOGHISTORY 1815
LOGFILE
    GROUP 1 'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\REDO03.LOG' SIZE 1M,
    # was   'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl32\...LOG'
    # on the 32-bit computer
    GROUP 2 'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\REDO02.LOG' SIZE 1M,
    GROUP 3 'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\REDO01.LOG' SIZE 1M
DATAFILE
   'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\SYSTEM01.DBF',

   'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\DR01.DBF'
CHARACTER SET WE8ISO8859P1;
Alter the init file from the 32-bit computer to include the new control file generated in the preceding step.
Start the database in RESTRICT mode:
SQL> STARTUP RESTRICT;
You might need to use the PFILE option to specify the location of your initialization parameter file.
Set the system to spool results to a log file for later verification of success. For example:
SQL> SPOOL catoutw.log
Enter the following command to view the output of the script on-screen:
SQL> SET ECHO ON;
Recompile existing PL/SQL modules in the format required by the 64-bit Oracle9i database:
SQL> @utlirp.sql;
Turn off the spooling of script results to the log file:
SQL> SPOOL OFF;
Check the spool file and verify that the packages and procedures compiled successfully. Correct any problems you find in this file.
If you were viewing the output of catoutw.log on-screen, disable viewing now:
SQL> SET ECHO OFF;
Exit the RESTRICT database mode:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM DISABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
The word size of the 64-bit Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) database is changed. You can open the database for normal use.This is from the link

Oracle Database Lite also allows companies to deploy and manage users, mobile applications and devices from a remote central location. Oracle Database Lite provides the necessary framework enterprise customers need to extend their enterprise applications and data to the most popular mobile platforms: Palm OS, Linux, Microsoft Windows CE/PPC, and Microsoft Windows NT/2000/XP/UNIX.
The following is a partial list of new features for Oracle Database Lite 10g that will make your mobile deployment easier to manage, use, and develop. A complete list will be available for download/viewing soon.
Device Management
As the number of mobile devices in an enterprise increases, it becomes more important to have complete control of the devices. Oracle Database Lite Device Management is a complete infrastructure to monitor and manage Oracle Database Lite assets such as database files, software libraries, data, and application files on remote devices. Device management decreases the total cost of ownership and protects an enterprises intellectual property.
Single Oracle Lite Binary
The Oracle Database Lite 10g release contains a single set of Oracle Lite database kernel binaries for all languages, removing the necessity of having different binaries for each of the following languages: Korean, Traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese, Japanese, and US/European languages.
Shared Map
The shared map function greatly improves performance by reducing sync processing timeand enhances the scalability of shared publication items. Shared maps allow users to share record state information and reduce the size of the resulting replication map tables.
Offline Instantiation
Offline instantiation enables quick and easy setup of mobile devices for business applications. Mobile administrators are able to prepare, in batch mode, a client package, which includes the mobile client software and initial data for every mobile user. This procedure helps users avoid an expensive online synchronization processes as part of the first time mobile client setup procedure.
Synchronization Manager
The Synchronization Manager is a complete, web-based enterprise management application to manage and monitor synchronization. The Synchronization Manager allows administrators to manage the synchronization service, monitor and analyze sync performance, administer the configuration, trace synchronization history, display and browse synchronization publication and subscription information, and monitor MGP (Message Generator and Processor) performance.

Oracle Database 11.1.0.6 Verson & Oracle DB 11.2.0.3
Non-Exadata Server
Linux Enivrionment
DB Size: 12TB
Destination:
Oracle Exadata 12.1
Oracle Database 12.1
Linux Environment
System Dowtime would be available for 24-30 hours.
Kindly clarify below:
1. Do we need to upgrade the source database (either 11.1 or 11.2) to 12c before migration?
2. Any upgarde activity after migration?
3. Which migration method is best suited in our case?
4. Things to be noted before migration activity?
Thanks for your valuable inputs.
Regards
Saurabh

Saurabh,
1. Do we need to upgrade the source database (either 11.1 or 11.2) to 12c before migration?
This would help if you wanted to drop the database in place as this would allow a standby database to be used which would reduce downtime or a backup and recovery to move the database as is into the Exadata. This does not however allow you the chance to put in some things that could help you on the Exadata such as additional partitioning/adjusting partitioning, Advanced Compression and HCC Compression.
2. Any upgrade activity after migration?
If you upgrade the current environment first then not there would not be additional work. However if you do not then you will need to explore a few options you could have depending on your requirements and desires for your exadata.
3. Which migration method is best suited in our case?
I would suggest some conversations with Oracle and/or a trusted firm that has done a few Exadata implementations to explore your migration options as well as what would be best for your environment as that can depend on a lot of variables that are hard to completely cover in a forum. At a high level I typically have recommended when moving to Exadata that you setup the database to utilize the features of the exadata for best results. The Exadata migrations I have done thus far have been done using Golden Gate where we examine the partitioning of tables, partition the ones that make sense, implement advanced compression and HCC compression where it makes sense, etc. This gives us an environment that fits with the Exadata rather then a drop an existing database in place though that works very well. Doing it with Golden Gate eliminates the migration issues for the database version difference as well as other migration potential issues as it offers the most flexibility, but there is a cost for Golden Gate to be aware of as well so may not work for you and Golden Gate will keep your downtime way down as well and give you opportunity to ensure that the upgrade/implementation will be smooth by giving some real work load testing to be done..
4. Things to be noted before migration activity?
Again I would suggest some conversations with Oracle and/or a trusted firm that has done a few Exadata implementations to explore your migration options as well as what would be best for your environment as that can depend on a lot of variables that are hard to completely cover in a forum. In short here are some items that may help keep in mind exadata is a platform that has some advantages that no other platform can offer, while a drop in place does work and does make improvements, it is nothing compared to the improves that could be if you plan well and implement with the features Exadata has to offer. The use of Real Application Testing Database Replay and flashback database will allow you to implement the features, test then with a real workload and tune it well before production day and allow you to be nearly 100% confident that you have a well running tuned system on the Exadata before going live. The use of Golden Gate allows you to get an in Sync database run many replays of workloads on the Exadata without losing the sync giving you time and ability to test different workload partitioning and compression options. Very nice flexibility.
Hope this helps...
