Want to upgrade RAC 10.2.0.2 database (2 instances) to 10.2.0.5. DB size is 4 TB. Contains mostly .pdf files, reports. I do not have test/upgrade environment. How much time I can expect it will take?
How much the upgrade process depends of database size, in this case?
I have fast boxes  IBM AIX 5.3 , 64 b.

Appreciate your comments ...
Yes, sound stupid, regarding test environment, but in reality, is not that much:
-I do have "preprod" environment, (2 instances RAC) same releases of OS, OCW,RAC ... but DB size is 40 GB!!!  It has all the objects as production, but (again but) it does not have physical standby, as production has. This is not that unusual, knowing that production DB grows very fast, and very large, and business do not want to keep preprod, dev, test databases same HUGE size as production is. Savings ...
-My DB upgrade depends if application  running on top of it is certified for higher RDBMS release ... looks like they have some problems.
-Very encouraging sounds comment that DB upgrade does not depend that much of the DB size ...
- i do not recall from where this info came, but I have heard that R 11.* treats PDF files in different way that R10 did it ... and because of that, process of upgrading big databases which have many items of that type (pdf) can take very long. Any idea about this?
-Brian, thx ... I'm trying hard to provide DB simmilar size in UPG environment and face all possible pitfalls before I go in production...thx for youe advice. I'm relly interested in how upgrade to 11.* from 10.* traets my pdf-s ... All my TBs comming from pdfs. Everi advice will be wellcome ...

  • My phone has been exposed to water. If I do not have any insurance then how much can repair cost or replace the phone?

    I have dropped my phone into a sink full of water. Right away, I grabbed the phone and did my best to dry it off. Once dried, my speakers seem to have given up and only a faint noise would occur when a call or text would appear. Lastly, my phone had a hard time gaining any service. All it would say at the top was "Searching..." and will not change. I seem to have given up when a thought ran through my head about turning off the phone and placing it in a bag full of rice. This is where my phone will be sitting for the next 48 hours (as suggested by friends and the lovely Youtube).
    If I have to replace my phone, how much would I be paying? If it needs repair and can survive, would the cost be?
    Thank you!

    They can replace very few parts in it, such as the battery or the sleep/wake button, but for water damage, several components are likely damaged.
    That price is through Apple.

  • How do I tell how much hard disk space an archive will take up?

    Hi we are trying to determine whether or not we have the capacity to run an archive export on one of our WebCenter spaces content folder (the root folder and ALL contents). Before we begin we'd like to be able to tell how much disk space it will take up.
    Thanks,
    S

    The table Documents contains a field called dFileSize, which contains the size of file in bytes.
    Now, you can use this field to calculate the size of all files contained in a folder (or its subfolders), or contained in an archiving batch.
    I think easier is the former. Actually, I have done something similar - created a component that checks so that files in a folder do not exceed the given quota. It already contains hierarchical queries that could be re-designed (simplified) to your needs. For instance, an occupied quota of a folder is
    WITH tree AS (select dCollectionId, case when level>1 then dCollectionQuota end as effective_quota from collections start with dCollectionId = ? connect by dParentCollectionId = prior dCollectionId and (prior dCollectionQuota IS NULL or level = 2)) SELECT SUM(NVL(t.effective_quota, NVL(docs.dFileSize, 0))) as TOTALDOCUMENTSIZE from tree t LEFT OUTER JOIN DOCMETA meta ON t.dCollectionId = meta.xCollectionId and t.effective_quota IS NULL LEFT OUTER JOIN DOCUMENTS docs ON meta.dId = docs.dId and docs.dIsPrimary = 1 LEFT OUTER JOIN REVISIONS rev ON rev.dId = docs.dId(in your case, you don't need t.effective_quota, nor logic bound to dCollectionQuota as these values do not exist in your system)
    P.S. more info about hierarchical queries, see here

  • How much time an LCD screen can stay on and displaying images?

    Suppose I'm rendering on the new '27 iMac, how much time the LCD screen can stay on and displaying the same image? (Like the desktop, or a very slow progress bar).
    And, if there is a difference, how much time it can stay simply on and showing differents images?
    I have to use a screen saver? (but it consume some power to the rendering) If yes, after how much time? And what kind of screen saver, simply black screen or somethig animated?
    I have to turn off the display only? (but this can conflict with some particular software...) If yes, after how much time?
    Thanks.

  • Possible to check how much time an update statement on a table would take ?

    Hello @all
    I have a table with a fragmented Index, the table has an actula "user_updates" from 226'699.
    How can i find out how much time an update on this table takes ?
    i would like to check if there is any performance increase when i regroup the index (rebuild), cause the index has a fragementation of 85% now... (or should i delete the index completely) cause there are no user_seeks... only user_updates on the table...
    and i thought that indexes only makes sense if users are reading from the table... am i wrong ? (cause on every update from the table, the index (indexes) have to be updated too...
    Thanks and Regards
    Dominic

    Rebuilding the index will not likely result in a modification be quicker. At least not more than marginal. In fact, it might wven be slower, since if you currently have space on the index page for the new row and then rebuild so you *don't* have space then
    the index rebuild will make that update be slower (at least for the cases where you get page splits). 
    However if the index isn't used to find rows (any of the other three columns), then you have an index which only cost you and doesn't help you!

  • How much time on Internet is 3G?

    I'm thinking of getting an iPad with 3G to 5G for the Internet.  Does anyone here have a ballpark idea of how much time one can spend on the Internet per day if they have...say...3G or 5G?  (I spend lots of hours a day on the Internet.)  Also, is Verizon or AT&T better (consistent up-time, etc)?

    Think of it like walking. 3G  is like walking at 3 mph, 4G is like walking at 4 mph.  This isn't saying how much you can carry, just how fast.  Yes, in 10 hours  walking at 4 mph you can make more tripsand end up moving more stuff than at 3 mph, but in the end you pay for how much you transport, not how fast you transport it.   This is referred to how much data you use and the "G" plans are referred to as data plans.  When we got an iPhone with AT&T we had the option of the base package with 0.2 GB data/month, the 2 GB package, and the unlimited.  We got the 2 GB package and never come close to it.  If we downloaded movies we'd exceed it with 4 movies easily.
    Yes, it allows Internet access when you don't have wireless.  However, the access may be limited to some items.  Netflix would gobble up data.  I don't know if you could even use it over a data plan.  They restrict some of that heavy duty use to proper wi-fi.  For example, you cannot Facetime with 3G, you have to do that with standard wi-fi.  Data plans are a convenience but not a true replacement for WiFi. (In case somebody reads this, I am not going to go into hotspot use right now.)
    There's also cost considerations.  I haven't calculated it but I bet if I started downloading at the maximum rate for which we pay I could probably download over 100 GB per month.  We pay $14 for our Internet service with 100 GB potential.  We pay $20 (I think) for the 2 GB data plan with AT&T.

  • Ctios failover. how much time spent to to recover the ctios agent

    on cce 7.5.x    
    using  /load 0  to put agent on not ready after ctios failover. how much time is needed for agent to do a ready request?.
    or using /load 1 (i think is the default behavior) this cause to log out agent. soo How much time must left to do a log in again.
    any ideas?

    This is what SRND Guide of 7.5 says
    When the active CTI Manager Service or PG software fails, the PG JTAPI Gateway/PIM detects an OUT_OF_SERVICE event and induces a failover to the redundant (duplex) PG. Because the redundant PG is logged into the backup Unified CM subscriber CTI Manager Service already, it registers the IP phones and configured dialed numbers or CTI route points automatically. This initialization service takes place at a rate of about 5 devices per second. The agent desktops show them as being logged out or not ready, and a message displays stating that their routing client or peripheral (Unified CM) has gone off-line. (This warning can be turned on or off, depending on the administrator's preference.) All agents and supervisors lose their desktop third-party call control functionality until the failure recovery is complete. The agents and supervisors can recognize this event because call control action buttons on the desktop will gray out, and they will not be able to do anything with the desktop. Any existing calls should remain active without any impact to the caller.

  • Is there a limit to how many times u can restore itunes from DVD-R?

    I have had to restore my whole itunes library twice this week due to hard drive probs. Do DVD-R's have a limit to how many times u can restore from them, or does itunes itself have a limit to how many times u can restore. Should I start over, with whole new back-up onto new DVD-R's?
    Thanks
    Tracy

    You shouldn't have to. DVD-Rs are supposed to be good for about 50 years or so...

  • While running the query how much time it will taken, I want to see the time

    Hi Folks
    I would like to know ... While running the query how much time it will be taken, I want to see the time? in WEBI XI R2.....
    Plz let me know  the answer.......

    Hi Ravi,
    The time a report runs is estimated based on the last time it was run. So you need to run the report once before you can see how long it will take. Also it depends on several factors... the database server could cache some queries so running it a second time immediately after the first time could be quicker. And there is the chance of changing filters to bring back different sets of data.
    You could also schedule a report and then check the scheduled instance's status properties and view how long a report actually ran.
    Good luck

  • How much time can i leave it turned on

    hey i just got this mac and i'm downloading a software that weights 11,06 GB and i was wondering how much time can i leave it on...or do i have to turn it of and let it rest for a bit...i been going 3 days straight without any problems but im concern about overheating and so...thanks

    I leave mine on all the time day/night and only sleep the display. I restart once in a while when installing updates. Yes the backside can get hot to the touch and that's normal. But it also depends on the environment it's in. You can download iStat Pro if you want to check the fan speeds and internal temperatures. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/27037

  • How do I display time remaining in a captivate published video so the learning can know how much time is remaining in a video

    After I publish my video it just plays but there is no indication of how much time is remaining on the video while watching. How do I display this

    It is possible, but you have to know 'time' is bit different, depending if you are talking about the 'editors' time or the real time spent by the the trainee. Have a look at this old blog post, that tries to explain:
    http://blog.lilybiri.com/display-time-information
    Time can show on the TOC (editors time), and if you have a playbar with a progress bar that gives some indication as well, but both for pure linear projects.

    Let it do the rotating thing for about 10-15 min. If it is still doing this, try wiping the phone in iTunes.
