Using Database Upgrade Assistant

I have one db installation with several (3) instances on.
Do I have to upgrade each instance or it is enough with one?
Best regards
Peråke

You have one ORACLE_HOME and 3 instances using it?
Then You have to for first upgrade ORACLE_HOME and then all 3 databases.
Only be a little bit more specific what kind of upgrade it is? Sometimes it's wiser to create a new ORACLE_HOME, upgrade it, then switch instances one by one to it and upgrade databases. Smaller downtime and in case of any failure much easier to rollback.

Upgrade from 8i to 9i using Database Upgrade Assistant

Hi
I installed 9i on a server that already has an 8i database. I am trying to use the upgrade assistant in 9i to convert the database to 9i. After selecting the 8i db, I get dialog saying 'Getting databse information. Please wait..' then error 'ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error'. I tried setting the 9i listener to a different port (1522) and restart listener, no luck. Any suggestions?
Thanx

You need to try the database forum, whose ID i think is 145

Ensure that service is registered in the listener.ora file, reload the listener and ensure that service is an entry of the tnsnames.ora file.

Database Upgrade Agent not working for upgrading Oracle 9i DB to Oracle 10i

Hi All,
Presently I have completed my Oracle 10i installation on Solaris Server but I am facing an issue during the upgrade process of Oracle 9i to 10g. Whenever I try to upgrade the 9i databases to 10g using DBUA(Database Upgrade assistant) I am facing an issue that Data base not running from oracle home or pfile not found. The exact error message says:-
The upgrade assistant failed in bringing up the database XIPCOTS. Oracle Home /opt/apps/home/oracle9i/product/releases/92/92 obtained from file /var/opt/oracle/oratab was used to connect to the database. Either the database is not running from Oracle Home /opt/apps/home/oracle9i/product/releases/92/92 or the correct Initialisation parameter file (pfile) was not found. To start the database , Oracle needs the pfile. Provide the full path name of the init file for the database XIPCOTS.
In reality the XIPCOTS database is running fine in Oracle 9i and we can connect it using PL/SQL developer in windows.I have also provided the path of pfile but it is still not accepting the same.
Path of pfile I provided :- /XIP/ofaroot/XIPCOTS/pfile/initXIPCOTS.ora
Any help or suggestions would be greately appreciated.
Our both Oracle 9i and 10g are installed on same Solaris server where solaris version is 9
Installation path for 9i :- /opt/apps/home/oracle9i/product/releases/92/92
Installation path for 10g :- /opt/apps/home/oracle/product/releases/10201
Oracle 9i version :- 9.2.0.7
Oracle 10g version :- 10.2.01
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Gourav Banerjee

Can you please mention the specific folder name under oracle home where we need to put this pfile because there are two folder dbs and ds I have allready tried putting it inside dbs its not working. And my home path is correct I hope and is set for oracle 9i directories in the .oraenv file do we need to set it for oracle 10g before the DBUA upgrade.

Database Upgrade to 10.2.0.4

Using Windows 2003 64-bit, 10.2.0.3 Standard Edition.
I clone the database to a spare server, shut it down immediate, and stopped all Oracle services. I installed the 10.2.0.4 patchset into the original Oracle Home without a problem. I then ran the Database Upgrade Assistant and it ran through to completion. However, it did declare a series of errors when upgrading the 'Data Mining' component:
Error ignored: ORA-29831: operator binding not found ORA-06553: PLS-306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'SDO_FILTER'
...and others like it. The report at the end of the process is saying the Oracle Server component is 'Successful *' -and the asterisk links to a list of the errors that I clicked 'ignore' to during the process. The one for 'data mining' says 'Skipped'.
I don't think I mind the errors about Data Mining, because as far as I know, we don't use that (are we even allowed to on an SE license?) When I look in V$OPTION, for example, we get:
OLAP Window Functions TRUE
Block Media Recovery FALSE
Fine-grained Auditing FALSE
Application Role FALSE
Enterprise User Security FALSE
Oracle Data Guard FALSE
Oracle Label Security FALSE
OLAP FALSE
Table compression FALSE
Join index FALSE
Trial Recovery FALSE
Data Mining                                                      FALSE
Online Redefinition FALSE
Streams Capture FALSE
File Mapping FALSE
So my question is: did the upgrade work properly or not?! Should I mind that the errors appeared when upgrading a component that doesn't even exist, as far as I know? Is there some way of knowing that all is as it should be?
I have logged onto the database after the upgrade and all looks fine, with queries working as expected and so on. But I just have a nagging doubt...

SQL> SELECT owner, object_type, COUNT(*)
2 FROM dba_objects
3 WHERE status = 'INVALID'
4 GROUP BY owner, object_type;
OWNER                          OBJECT_TYPE           COUNT(*)
MDSYS                          PACKAGE BODY                 1
ACC_GLOBAL                     PACKAGE BODY                 1The ACC_GLOBAL invalid is a known issue: I don't have the tnsnames.ora with the right alias for the resolution of a database link that package contains. MDSYS is not a schema we use, I think, and the package that's invalid is SDO_3GL which is the package I expected to be wrong as a result of the error messages received during the upgrade.
As for your second query:

Oracle Database Java Packages            10.2.0.4.0                     VALIDDoesn't look a miserable failure to me, really. Data Mining doesn't look right, but we knew that already because of those error messages during the upgrade. Fact remains, we don't use it, it's not an option we've installed, etc etc.

Database Upgrade from 10.2.0.3.0 to 10.2.0.4.0 for a EBS 12 database

Hi,
Is there any specific procedure like interoperability for upgrading an R12 database from 10.2.0.3.0 to 10.2.0.4.0.
Currently I have plans to upgrade database from 10.2.0.3.0 to 10.2.0.4.0 and then
upgrade apps from 12.0.4 to 12.0.6. Also I need to install Arabic language on the instance.
What would be the best sequence to do this ?
Ram

hi,
you can use the oracle 10.2.0.4 patchset(downloadable from metalink) to upgrade your database to this version,
just follow the OUI in the patch set and select the migrating oracle home ...
before migrating it will ask you to stop all the oracle services , once it migrated then you need to use DBUA (DATABASE upgrade assistant ) to upgrade its components ..
then you can check all the component versions vis
select * from dba_registry;

Error in the Upgrade Assistant for 11g

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade a 10g repository to 11g using the Upgrade Assistant but it is returning an (unhelpful) error in the log file.
Has anyone else experienced this error or know what it is?

Thanks.

I ran into this same problem after I performed the steps in the enterprise deployment guide. One of the steps in Chapter 5, section 5.4.4 has you separate the bi_server1 managed server from the admin server into its own "mserver" directory structure by using the pack.sh and unpack.sh commands. This step appears to cause the problem. For now, what I have done is perform a complete reinstall and skip this step along with any other clustering related steps. Once I did this, I was able to run the upgrade assistant to upgrade the 10g repository to 11g.
I have informed Oracle support about this issue. If they have a better work around, I will post it back here at a later date.

Oracle database upgrade from express edition to standard edition

We purchased Oracle database 11g to upgrade our current primavera oracle database express edition (10g).When we are trying to upgrade through DBUA it getting error message
Please provide us a proper advise to solve this issue.

11gR2 DBUA States "The CEP File does not provide the version directive" [ID 980693.1]
As noted by orafad, the easiest approach would be to perform a full export from 10gR2, install 11gR2 into a new ORACLE_HOME, create an empty 11gR2 database, then perform a full import into 11gR2. As also noted, you will have to follow any special directions related to Primavera.

You will need Win 7 Professional or higher (Home versions are not supported for Oracle installs)
