1. Pre-Upgrade steps for database upgrade from 9.2.0.6 to

9.2.0.8
1.1) Apply patch 5035661
This patch should be unloaded into both the RDBMS and IAS ORACLE_HOMEs
on all the Nodes.
Download patch 5035661 and follow instructions in the readme file. This patch installs OUI
2.2.0.19 and fixes inventory directories
A. Applying the patch on the iAS $ORACLE_HOME:
unzip -od p5035661_11i_.zip
Source the Apps environment file
Change directory to the $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/appsoui/setup
Execute the perl script OUIsetup.pl:
$ perl OUIsetup.pl
B. Applying the patch on the RDBMS $ORACLE_HOME:
unzip -od p5035661_11i_.zip
Source the DB environment file
Change directory to the $ORACLE_HOME/appsoui/setup
Execute the perl script OUIsetup.pl:
$ perl OUIsetup.pl

2. Shut down Applications/Database server processes

1 / 54

Shut down application and database services.

3. Perform 9.2.0.8 Patch Set installation tasks

Download and extract the patch set p4547809_9208_LINUX.zip installation archive to a
directory that is not the Oracle home directory or under the Oracle home directory. For example,
Oracle_patch.
Enter the following commands to unzip and extract the installation files:
$ unzip p4547809_9208_LINUX.zip
Log in as the Oracle software owner (typically oracle).
Enter following commands to start Oracle Universal Installer, where patchset_directory is the
directory you unzipped the patch set software:
EDIT oraparam.ini AND ADD REDHAT-5
$ patchset_directory/Disk1
$ ./runInstaller

4. Apply additional 9.2.0.8 RDBMS patches

i) Patch 5391326 : APPSST9208 MULTIPLE INDEX ERRORS WHILE RUNNING FULL
IMPORT FOR 9.2.0.8 DB
$ export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch:$PATH
Below command must run successfully.
$ opatch lsinventory
Now apply patch
$ cd 5391326
$ opatch apply

8 / 54

ii) Patch 5495695 : APPSST9208: SQL*PLUS EXITS WITH O/S MESSAGE: NO SUCH FILE
OR DIRECTORY
% cd 5495695
% opatch apply
% mv $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/lib/sqlplus $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus

5. Perform 9.2.0.8 Patch Set postinstallation tasks

Use SQL*Plus to log in to the database as the SYS user with SYSDBA privileges:
$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> CONNECT SYS/SYS_password AS SYSDBA
SQL> STARTUP
a) CHECK THE SYSTEM TABLESPACE SIZE (REQUIRED SIZE 10MB;)
SQL> SELECT TABLESPACE_NAME,SUM(BYTES/1024/1204) FROM DBA_FREE_SPACE
WHERE TABLESPACE_NAME='SYSTEM' group by TABLESPACE_NAME;
TABLESPACE_NAME SUM(BYTES/1024/1204)
------------------------------ -------------------SYSTEM 2031.6412
b) Make sure that the init.ora parameters SHARED_POOL_SIZE and JAVA_POOL_SIZE are
each 150 MB or more
Determine the current values of these parameters:
SQL> SHOW PARAMETER SHARED_POOL_SIZE
SQL> SHOW PARAMETER JAVA_POOL_SIZE
If necessary, set the value of the initialization parameter to at least 150 MB:
Example (if using spfile):
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET JAVA_POOL_SIZE='150M' SCOPE=spfile;
c) Start Listener:
$ lsnrctl start testdb
d) Run the catpatch.sql
Shutdown the database now
$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> CONNECT SYS/manager AS SYSDBA
SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE

9 / 54

SQL> startup migrate

SQL> spool patch.log
SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catpatch.sql
SQL> spool off
Review the patch.log file for errors and inspect the list of components that is displayed at the
end of catpatch.sql script.
This list provides the version and status of each SERVER component in the database.
If necessary, rerun the catpatch.sql script after correcting any problems.
Restart database
shutdown
startup
e) COMPILE INVALID OBJECTS
Run the utlrp.sql script to recompile all invalid PL/SQL packages now instead of when the
packages are accessed for the first time. This step is optional but recommended.
SQL>@$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql
f) **After completion of the above post install steps, connect as SYSDBA and run the following:
SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/javavm/install/jvmsec3.sql
SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME /javavm/install/jvmsec5.sql
g) Gather statistics for SYS schema
Use SQL*Plus to connect to the database as sysdba and gather the statistics for the SYS
schema using the following commands:
SQL> execute dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats
('SYS',cascade=>TRUE,degree=>20);

6. Apply Developer 6i v6.0.8.27 (Patch 18) or higher

Some of the pre-req patches which will be applied to 11i applications will require the Developer
6i to be at patchset 18 (6.0.8.27) or higher
Our current 11i version is lower than the required value.
[oracle@r12upg bin]$ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/f60gen help=y
Forms 6.0 (Form Compiler) Version 6.0.8.25.2 (Production)
We will upgrade it to Dev 6i Patch 19.
Step 1: Stop All application services
$cd $COMMON_TOP/admin/scripts

10 / 54

$ ./adstpal.sh apps/apps
Step 2: Install the Developer 6i Patch 6194129
The patch will be applied to 8.0.6 ORACLE_HOME.
$ echo $ORACLE_HOME
/u01/app/oracle/testdbora/8.0.6
Prepend $ORACLE_HOME/bin to the *beginning* of PATH
$ export PATH=/u01/app/oracle/testdbora/8.0.6/bin:$PATH
Prepend $ORACLE_HOME/lib to the *beginning* of LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u01/app/oracle/testdbora/8.0.6/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Copy the files in this patch to your $ORACLE_HOME.
Unzip the patch using unzip on Unix.
Run the install script contained in the patch:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/developer6i_patch19
./patch_install.sh 2>&1 | tee patch_install_p19.log
Check patch_install_p19.log for errors.
Relink Procedure Builder, Forms, Graphics and Reports:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/procbuilder60/lib; make -f ins_procbuilder.mk install
cd $ORACLE_HOME/forms60/lib; make -f ins_forms60w.mk install
cd $ORACLE_HOME/graphics60/lib; make -f ins_graphics60w.mk install
Reports has both link-time and run-time dependency with libjava.so so you need to append
$ORACLE_HOME/network/jre11/lib/linux/native_threads in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH before linking
Reports.
The same $LD_LIBRARY_PATH should be used at run-time.
cd $ORACLE_HOME/reports60/lib; make -f ins_reports60w.mk install
Step 3: Install the Additional Developer 6i Patches
Patch 16699473
Copy the patch file within your 6i ORACLE_HOME and unzip this file
within it to create a new subdirectory. You will be able to see the
folder 16699473 which contains the actual one-off files.
%cd $ORACLE_HOME
%unzip p16699473_60828_LINUX.zip
Install the patch
%cd 16699473
% sh patch.sh

11 / 54

 Unzip the java class files and regenerate your JAR files
Please run below script to take backup of the class files.
%cd $ORACLE_HOME/16699473
% sh backup.sh
Please run below script to copy all files to $ORACLE_HOME with respective location.
%cd $ORACLE_HOME/16699473
% sh copy_files.sh
For ewt3.jar please follow these additional steps:
i. Backup the Forms java subtree and extract the changed files
% cd $ORACLE_HOME/forms60/java
% cp -r oracle/ewt oracle/ewt.PREBUG16699473
% jar -xvf $ORACLE_HOME/16699473/ewt3.jar
% rm META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
% rmdir META-INF
ii. Verify that the EWT version has been updated under the
$ORACLE_HOME/forms60/java directory.
For example:
% ls -la oracle/ewt | grep 3_4_49
iii. Now regenerate jar files using adadmin.
Run adrelink.
E.g. to relink f60webmx for Oracle Applications:
% adrelink.sh force=y "fnd f60webmx"
Patch 9094950 may also be required if not applied previously
Patch 3830807
% cd 3830807
Add execute permission to the script supplied in this patch
% chmod u+x patch.sh
Check the value of LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
#
# This patch will relink reports60 binaries.
#
# Reports has both link-time and run-time dependency with libjava.so
# so you need to include
# $ORACLE_HOME/
network/jre11/lib/linux/native_threads OR
# $ORACLE_HOME/network/jre11/lib/i686/native_threads

12 / 54

# in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running patch.sh

#
# Please check your files under $ORACLE_HOME/network/jre11/lib to see
# which one of the above is appropriate on your system. The same
# $LD_LIBRARY_PATH should be used at run-time.
#
# [5] Run the script supplied by this patch
#
# % ./patch.sh
#
Step 4: Relink Applications Executables
In AD Administration, choose "Relink Applications programs" from the "Generate Applications
Files" menu.
Step 5: Apply the Oracle Applications 11i Interoperability Patch
Step 6: Configure Applications to use Sun JRE Native Plug-in (OPTIONAL)
Deploy the latest certified version of the JRE native plug-in by following My Oracle Support
Knowledge Document 290807.1, titled 'Deploying Sun JRE (Native Plug-in) for Windows Clients
in Oracle E-Business Suite 11i'.
Step 7: Verify your upgrade
Step 8: Start Application Services

7. Upgrade JDK version on HTTP server node

Per JDK vendors, JDK versions 1.3 and 1.4 are desupported. Thus, a minimum JDK version of
1.5.0 is required on HTTP server nodes.Please refer to Oracle MetaLink Note 304099.1 "Using
J2SE Version 5.0 with Oracle E-Business Suite 11i" to upgrade JDK on all application tier
server nodes.

Run AD Administration, and choose "Generate Product JAR Files" from the "Generate
Applications Files" menu to update appsborg2.zip to include the new JDBC Drivers for the J2SE
5.0 library (jdbc14.zip) and to generate the product JAR files.
Since the AD utilities has been upgraded to use J2SE 5.0, this step will ensure that the jar files
are signed with the key store data that is valid for the new version of J2SE.
Verify Configurations on all Application Tier Nodes
Open the $APPL_TOP/admin/adovars.env file and ensure that the environment variables below
are defined. Run the following commands to verify that the environment variables ADJVAPRG
and AFJVAPRG point to the J2SE 5.0 executable. The CLASSPATH and AF_CLASSPATH
environment variables must contain the necessary J2SE 5.0 libraries.
$ADJVAPRG -version
echo $CLASSPATH
$AFJVAPRG -version
echo $AF_CLASSPATH
The output of the version check should display J2SE "1.5.0_x", where x depends on the J2SE
5.0 patch level installed.
Also, Log in to the E-Business Suite and select the "System Administrator" responsibility. Check
the Concurrent/Manager/Administer form and make sure all managers have the corresponding
numbers for their actual and target.

8. Apply Pre-req Patches to 9.2.0.8 ORACLE_HOME

------------------------Update the RDBMS ORACLE HOME file system with the AutoConfig files by performing
the following steps:
1. On the Application Tier (as the APPLMGR user):
1.1 Source the environment file.
1.2 Create the appsutil.zip file by executing:
$ADPERLPRG $AD_TOP/bin/admkappsutil.pl
(On Windows: %ADPERLPRG% %AD_TOP%\bin\admkappsutil.pl)
This will create appsutil.zip in $APPL_TOP/admin/out .
2. On the Database Tier (as the ORACLE user):
2.1 Copy or FTP the appsutil.zip file to the
2.2 cd
2.3 unzip -o appsutil.zip

9. Upgrade the TIMEZONE Version

Convert the 9i database TIMEZONE from version 1 to version 4:
Download this interm patch 5632264 .. Extract it .. run "opatch apply" command .. As the

10. Create new oracle home directory

create the 11.2.0 Oracle home directory structure
/d02/app/oracle

11. Install 11g upgrade database software only

Log in to the database server node as the owner of the Oracle RDBMS file system and
database instance. Ensure that environment settings, such as ORACLE_HOME, are set for the
new Oracle home you are about to create, and not for any existing Oracle homes on the
database server node.

27 / 54

28 / 54

29 / 54

30 / 54

31 / 54

32 / 54

Click install, run root.sh script when it asks to and click finish in the end.

12. Set 11.2 environment

Make sure the following environment variables point to the Oracle 11g Release 2 (11.2)
directories:
export ORACLE_BASE=/d02/app/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=/d02/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
export PERL5LIB=$ORACLE_HOME/perl/lib/5.10.0:$ORACLE_HOME/perl/lib/site_perl/5.10.0

13. Run the script cr9idata.pl

On the database server node, as the owner of the Oracle RDBMS file system and database

33 / 54

instance, run the following command to create the $ORACLE_HOME/nls/data/9idata directory.

$ perl $ORACLE_HOME/nls/data/old/cr9idata.pl
Now add below env variable also to .profile.
export ORA_NLS10= /d02/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/nls/data/9idata

14. Install Oracle database examples

No matter how worthless it looks, but you need to install Oracle Examples or else your 11 i>
R12.1.3 upgrade will fail later on.
$ cd
$ ./runInstaller
Follow GUI, put value as asked and click NEXT on promtps

15. Compile invalids in existing 9i database

Run utlrp script to fix any invalid object before the upgrade:
-------------------------------------------------------------SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql
Note down invalid objects to compare with invalid ones after the upgrade to 11g:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL> set pages 0
SQL> set linesize 170
SQL> select count(*) from dba_objects where status='INVALID';
2
SQL>
SQL> select 'alter '||object_type||' '||owner||'.'||object_name||' compile;' from dba_objects where
status = 'INVALID';
alter PACKAGE BODY APPS.CS_WF_ACTIVITIES_PKG compile;
alter PACKAGE BODY APPS.OKI_REFRESH_PVT compile;

16. Check for connect role

In 11g version CONNECT role has only the "CREATE SESSION" privilege, the other privileges
are NOT exist in CONNECT role in 11g version like:
CREATE VIEW

34 / 54

CREATE TABLE
ALTER SESSION
CREATE CLUSTER
CREATE SYNONYM
CREATE SEQUENCE
CREATE DATABASE LINK
So you need to re-grant these privileges to users who have connect role after upgrade to 11g.
This SQL will help you just save the result in somewhere to run it after the upgrade:
SQL> set linesize 170
SQL> set pages 100
SQL> spool connect_role.sql
SQL> SELECT 'grant CREATE VIEW,CREATE TABLE,ALTER SESSION,CREATE
CLUSTER,CREATE SYNONYM,CREATE SEQUENCE to '||grantee||';'
FROM dba_role_privs WHERE granted_role = 'CONNECT' AND grantee
NOT IN ('SYS', 'OUTLN', 'SYSTEM', 'CTXSYS', 'DBSNMP','LOGSTDBY_ADMINISTRATOR',
'ORDSYS','ORDPLUGINS', 'OEM_MONITOR', 'WKSYS', 'WKPROXY','WK_TEST',
'WKUSER', 'MDSYS', 'LBACSYS', 'DMSYS','WMSYS', 'OLAPDBA', 'OLAPSVR',
'OLAP_USER','OLAPSYS', 'EXFSYS', 'SYSMAN', 'MDDATA','SI_INFORMTN_SCHEMA',
'XDB', 'ODM');
SQL> spool off

17. Save dblink information

Create a script to save DBLINKS creation script:
Spool dblinks
SELECT 'CREATE '||DECODE(U.NAME,'PUBLIC','public ')||'DATABASE LINK '||CHR(10)
||DECODE(U.NAME,'PUBLIC',Null, 'SYS','',U.NAME||'.')|| L.NAME||chr(10)
||'CONNECT TO ' || L.USERID || ' IDENTIFIED BY "'||L.PASSWORD||'" USING '''||L.HOST||''''
||chr(10)||';' TEXT
FROM SYS.LINK$ L, SYS.USER$ U
WHERE L.OWNER# = U.USER#;
Spool off;

18. Copy pre-upgrade script and execute

Copy the following scripts from 11g $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin directory on 11g server to
9i server:
Sqlplus / as sysdba

35 / 54

SQL> @utlu112i.sql
utltzuv2.sql
Correct anything required as per generated report.

19. Gather schema statistics

Gather statistics for schemas:
EXECUTE dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats('CTXSYS',options=>'GATHER'
,estimate_percent=>DBMS_STATS.AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE
,method_opt=>'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE AUTO'
,cascade=>TRUE);
EXECUTE dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats('DBSNMP',options=>'GATHER'
,estimate_percent=>DBMS_STATS.AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE
,method_opt=>'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE AUTO'
,cascade=>TRUE);
EXECUTE dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats('MDSYS',options=>'GATHER'
,estimate_percent=>DBMS_STATS.AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE
,method_opt=>'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE AUTO'
,cascade=>TRUE);
EXECUTE dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats('ORDPLUGINS',options=>'GATHER'
,estimate_percent=>DBMS_STATS.AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE
,method_opt=>'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE AUTO'
,cascade=>TRUE);
EXECUTE dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats('ORDSYS',options=>'GATHER'
,estimate_percent=>DBMS_STATS.AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE
,method_opt=>'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE AUTO'
,cascade=>TRUE);
EXECUTE dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats('OUTLN',options=>'GATHER'
,estimate_percent=>DBMS_STATS.AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE
,method_opt=>'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE AUTO'
,cascade=>TRUE);
EXECUTE dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats('SYS',options=>'GATHER'
,estimate_percent=>DBMS_STATS.AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE
,method_opt=>'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE AUTO'
,cascade=>TRUE);
EXECUTE dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats('SYSTEM',options=>'GATHER'
,estimate_percent=>DBMS_STATS.AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE
,method_opt=>'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE AUTO'
,cascade=>TRUE);

20. Check Data Dictionary

Check for any corruption in the dictionary -will create a script then will run it-:

36 / 54

Script Creation:
Following code creates a script called analyze.sql
Set verify off
Set space 0
Set line 120
Set heading off
Set feedback off
Set pages 1000
Spool analyze.sql
SELECT 'Analyze cluster "'||cluster_name||'" validate structure cascade;'
FROM dba_clusters
WHERE owner='SYS'
UNION
SELECT 'Analyze table "'||table_name||'" validate structure cascade;'
FROM dba_tables
WHERE owner='SYS'
AND partitioned='NO'
AND (iot_type='IOT' OR iot_type is NULL)
UNION
SELECT 'Analyze table "'||table_name||'" validate structure cascade into invalid_rows;'
FROM dba_tables
WHERE owner='SYS'
AND partitioned='YES';
spool off
Run the following scripts for Dictionary checking:
SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlvalid.sql
SQL> @analyze.sql

21. Check Database consistency

Ensure there is no files need media recovery or in backup mode:
SQL> SELECT * FROM v$recover_file;
SQL> SELECT * FROM v$backup WHERE status!='NOT ACTIVE';

22. Resolve any outstanding unresolved distributed

transaction

37 / 54

SQL> select * from dba_2pc_pending;

If that query returned rows you should do the following:
-SQL> SELECT local_tran_id
FROM dba_2pc_pending;
SQL> EXECUTE dbms_transaction.purge_lost_db_entry('');
SQL> COMMIT;

23. Ensure the users sys and system have 'system' as their
default tablespace.
SQL> SELECT username, default_tablespace
FROM dba_users
WHERE username in ('SYS','SYSTEM');

24. Truncate aud$ table

Ensure that the aud$ is in the system tablespace when auditing is enabled.
SQL> SELECT tablespace_name
FROM dba_tables
WHERE table_name='AUD$';
Tip: Truncating AUD$ table will speedup the upgrade process (make sure to backup audit data
before truncating it)
SQL> truncate table SYS.AUD$;

25. Saving database files location

Note down the location of datafiles, redo logs, control files.
col name for a70
col file_name for a70
col member for a70
set feedback off
spool db_files.txt
SELECT name FROM v$controlfile;

38 / 54

SELECT file_name FROM dba_data_files;

SELECT group#, member FROM v$logfile;
spool off

26. Set the database in NoArchivelog mode

Put the database in noarchivelog mode to minimize the upgrade time.
$ sqlplus "/as sysdba"
SQL> shutdown immediate;
SQL> alter database mount;
SQL> alter database noarchivelog;
SQL> archive log stop;
SQL> shutdown immediate;

27. Apply additional 11.2.0.4 rdbms patches

For UNIX/Linux platforms, apply RDBMS patches
Patch 17468141
$ opatch apply
Patch 17501296
$ opatch apply

28. Disable database vault

If you have Database Vault installed, perform steps 1 to 6 of Part 2 of document 1091086.1 on
My Oracle Support to disable Database Vault.
Check>
SQL> SELECT * FROM V$OPTION WHERE PARAMETER = Oracle Database Vault';
PARAMETER VALUE
Oracle Database Vault FALSE

29. Make a backup of the init.ora file and edit

Make a backup of the init.ora file.

39 / 54

-- set the parameter CLUSTER_DATABASE=FALSE
-- Add the parameter DIAGNOSTIC_DEST to hold database logs:
diagnostic_dest=/u01/oracle/ora11g/11.2.0.1/diagnostics/testdb
Once the parameter file is modified as per your requirement (already done above), copy the file
to the new 11.2.0.3 $ORACLE_HOME/dbs.

30. Create the diagnostic directory

Create the Diagnostic directory for the DB
-----mkdir -p $ORACLE_HOME/diagnostics/testdb

40 / 54

31. Check environment variables

Make sure the following environment variables point to the Oracle 11g Release 2 (11.2)
directories:
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/oracle//
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/oracle//db/tech_st/11.2.0
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
export PERL5LIB=$ORACLE_HOME/perl/lib/5.10.0:$ORACLE_HOME/perl/lib/site_perl/5.10.0
export ORA_NLS10=/u01/oracle//db/tech_st/11.2.0/nls/data/9idata

32. Update the oratab entry

Update the oratab entry to set the new ORACLE_HOME pointing to and disable automatic
startup
/etc/oratab entries
#:/u01/oracle//db/tech_st/11.1.0:N
:/u01/oracle//db/tech_st/11.2.0:N
Note: After /etc/oratab is updated to have SID and Oracle Home (11.2), you can execute oraenv
(/usr/local/bin/oraenv) and set the environment. The input has to be the SID which is entered in
/etc/oratab against the 11gR2 home.

33. Stop database & applications

If not already stopped, stop the application and database running from old ORACLE_HOME.

34. Upgrade 9i to 11g using dbua or manual method

At the operating system prompt, change to the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin directory of
11gR2 Oracle Home.
$ export ORACLE_SID=testdb
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
$ sqlplus / as sysdba

41 / 54

SQL> startup UPGRADE

Set the system to spool results to a log file for later verification after the upgrade is completed
and start the upgrade script.
Create the SYSAUX tablespace:
---------------------------SQL>CREATE TABLESPACE SYSAUX
DATAFILE '/d01/app/oracle/testdbdata/sysaux01.dbf' SIZE 2000M reuse
autoextend on next 100m maxsize unlimited
EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO ONLINE;
SQL> set echo on
SQL> SPOOL upgrade.log
SQL> @catupgrd.sql
SQL> spool off
These measures are an important final step to ensure the integrity and consistency of the newly
upgraded Oracle Database software. Also, if you encountered a message listing obsolete
initialization parameters when you started the database for upgrade, then remove the obsolete
initialization parameters from the parameter file before restarting.
Startup the database:
$ Sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> STARTUP
Now Run catuppst.sql
Run catuppst.sql, located in the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin directory, to perform upgrade
actions that do not require the database to be in UPGRADE mode.
SQL> @catuppst.sql

35. Review alert log for errors

You may find some errors in the alert log. Check that out and take corrective actions.

36. Verify the upgraded database

A) Check the upgraded database
SQL> select banner from v$version;
BANNER

B) Run utlu112s.sql script
Run the Post-Upgrade Status Tool $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlu112s.sql which provides
a summary of the upgrade at the end of the spool log. It displays the status of the database
components in the upgraded database and the time required to complete each component
upgrade. Any errors that occur during the upgrade are listed with each component and must be
addressed.

C) Run dbupgdiag.sql
Check for the integrity of the upgraded database by running dbupgdiag.sql script
Note 556610.1 Script to Collect DB Upgrade/Migrate Diagnostic Information (dbupgdiag.sql)
If the dbupgdiag.sql script reports any invalid objects, run
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql (next step)
After validating the invalid objects, re-run dbupgdiag.sql in the upgraded database once again
and make sure that everything is fine.
D) Run utlrp.sql

44 / 54

Run $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql multiple times to validate the invalid objects in the

database, until there is no change in the number of invalid objects.
Note: This step will take some considerable time on first run
Keep monitoring the invalid count by
select count(*) from dba_objects where status =INVALID';

37. Resize redo log groups

Current redo log file size may not be adequate.. Review and change accordingly.
SQL> alter database add logfile thread 1 group 3 ('/d01/app/oracle/testdbdata/group_03.log')

42. Start the new database listener

Copy over the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora from 9i tns_admin directory and edit them to
correct the directory details etc and then start.
$ lsnrctl start

43. Run adgrants.sql

Copy $APPL_TOP/admin/adgrants.sql from the administration server node to the database
server node. Use SQL*Plus to connect to the database as SYSDBA and run the script using the
following command:
$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba" @adgrants.sql

[APPS schema name]

44. Grant create procedure privilege on ctxsys

Copy $AD_TOP/patch/115/sql/adctxprv.sql from the administration server node to the database
server node. If you are upgrading to R12, use the R12 version of the file. Use SQL*Plus to
connect to the database as APPS and run the script using the following command:
$ sqlplus apps/[APPS password] @adctxprv.sql \

[SYSTEM password] CTXSYS

45. Set ctxsys parameter

48 / 54

Use SQL*Plus to connect to the database as SYSDBA and run the following command:
$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL> exec ctxsys.ctx_adm.set_parameter('file_access_role', 'public');

46. Run autoconfig

Run autoconfig on both database and application nodes.
Shut down all processes, including the database and the listener, and restart them to load the
new environment settings.

47. Gather statistics for sys schema

Copy $APPL_TOP/admin/adstats.sql from the administration server node to the database
server node. Use SQL*Plus to connect to the database as SYSDBA and use the following
commands to restart the database in restricted mode, run adstats.sql, and restart the database
in normal mode:
$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL> alter system enable restricted session;
SQL> @adstats.sql
$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL> alter system disable restricted session;
SQL> exit;

48. Re-create grants and synonyms

Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2) contains new functionality for grants and synonyms
compared to previous database releases.
As a result, you must re-create the grants and synonyms in the APPS schema. On the
administration server node, as the owner of the Applications file system, run AD Administration
and select the "Recreate grants and synonyms for APPS schema" task from the Maintain
Applications Database Objects menu.

If you disabled Database Vault, enable it by performing step 7 of Part 2 of document 1091086.1
on My Oracle Support.

50. Restart applications server processes and verify

Restart all the Application tier server processes that you shut down previously.
Remember that the Oracle Net listener for the database instance, as well as the database
instance itself, need to be started in the 11.2 Oracle home.

Rename the JRE Plug-in and Place it on the Web Server

Rename the downloaded JRE Native Plug-in file to j2se.exe
For example:
jre-7u67-windows-i586.exe would be renamed j2se17067.exe
Move the renamed j2se17067.exe file to the web application tier and place it in
$COMMON_TOP/util/jinitiator.
Run the txkSetPlugin.sh Script
Run the $FND_TOP/bin/txkSetPlugin.sh script against the web node of the application tier.
The txkSetPlugin.sh script will update the new JRE version information into your AutoConfig
context file, update the version used by Workflow and run AutoConfig to incorporate the new
values throughout your application. This script must be run using the following command:
$ txkSetPlugin.sh jversion
For example; the command to install JRE 1.7.0_67 is:
$ txkSetPlugin.sh 17067
Disable maintenance mode and restart application services
