6 Move the instance to Solaris 10 box

7 Upgrade Database to 10g Rel 2

7.1 Perform Pre Upgrade Tasks

7.1.1 Run pre-upgrade information tool

· Run the attached script on existing 9.2.0.6 / 9.2.0.7 database.

· Ensure that you connect as ‘SYS’ user to be able to run this script and spool the output to a file.

· Carry out the steps mentioned in the output file.

7.1.2 Check for Deprecated CONNECT Role

Reference:

After upgrading to 10gR2, the CONNECT role will only have the CREATE SESSION privilege; the other privileges granted to the CONNECT role in earlier releases will be revoked during the upgrade. To identify which users and roles in your database are granted the CONNECT role, use the following query:

SELECT 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’);

If users or roles require privileges other than CREATE SESSION, then grant

the specific required privileges prior to upgrading. The upgrade scripts

adjust the privilegesfor the Oracle-supplied users.

In Oracle 9.2.x and 10.1.x CONNECT role includes the following privileges:

SELECT GRANTEE,PRIVILEGE FROM DBA_SYS_PRIVS

WHERE GRANTEE=’CONNECT’

GRANTEE PRIVILEGE

—————————— —————————

CONNECT CREATE VIEW

CONNECT CREATE TABLE

CONNECT ALTER SESSION

CONNECT CREATE CLUSTER

CONNECT CREATE SESSION

CONNECT CREATE SYNONYM

CONNECT CREATE SEQUENCE

CONNECT CREATE DATABASE LINK

In Oracle 10.2 the CONNECT role only includes CREATE SESSION privilege.

7.1.3 Create script for dblinks in case of downgrade of database

Reference:

During the upgrade to 10gR2, any passwords in database links will be encrypted.

To downgrade back to the original release, all of the database links with encrypted passwords must be dropped prior to the downgrade. Consequently, the database links will not exist in the downgraded database. If you anticipate a requirement to be able to downgrade back to your original release, then save the information about affected database links from the SYS.LINK$ table, so that you can recreate the database links after the downgrade.

Following script can be used to construct the dblink.

SELECT

‘create ‘||DECODE(U.NAME,’PUBLIC’,'public ‘)||’database link ‘||CHR(10)

||DECODE(U.NAME,’PUBLIC’,Null, 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# ;;

7.1.4 List Invalid Objects

Prepare a list of invalid objects before starting the database upgrade.

7.3.5 Recreate grants and synonyms

7.4 Apply Jan 2008 CPU for Oracle database 10g

Apply patch 6646853 to new 10g Oracle Home

Reference:

· Ensure that the Opatch version installed is 10.2.0.3.4 or higher.

· Ensure that Opatch is in path and apply this patch

· Ensure that the $PATH has the following executables: make, ar, ld, and nm

· Check whether the java and jar executables are present in 10.2.0 Oracle home. By default, the OPatch utility uses the executables from these locations. However, if they are located elsewhere, you can use the opatch apply command with the -jdk flag, and then specify the full path to the JDK to be used.

· Set your current directory to the directory where the patch is located

cd 6646853

opatch napply -skip_subset -skip_duplicate

· Load modified sql files into the database.

cd $ORACLE_HOME/cpu/CPUJan2008

sqlplus /nolog

SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA

SQL> STARTUP

SQL> @catcpu.sql

SQL> QUIT

· Check the logfile for any errors

· If catcpu.sql reports any invalid objects run following commands

cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin

sqlplus /nolog

SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA

SQL> STARTUP

SQL> @utlrp.sql

· Check whether view compilation has already been performd for the database by executing following command:

SELECT * FROM registry$history where ID = ‘6452863′;

· If the view compilation is already performed this query will return one row, else it will return no rows

· Run the view recompilation script. Note that this script is run with the database in upgrade mode, which restricts connections as SYSDBA.

cd $ORACLE_HOME/cpu/view_recompile

sqlplus /nolog

SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA

SQL> STARTUP UPGRADE

SQL> @view_recompile_jan2008cpu.sql

SQL> SHUTDOWN;

SQL> STARTUP;

· Check the logfile for any errors

· If any invalid objects are reported then run utlrp.sql as below:

cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin

sqlplus /nolog

SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA

SQL> STARTUP

SQL> @utlrp.sql

Alert:

· On Solaris 10, OPatch may fail verification. If this happens, you must manually perform the verification. One of the reasons for failure is because Sun Microsystems changes an object file’s size when it archives the file into a library.

· In this case perform manual verification per below:

· Locate the current apply log file in $ORACLE_HOME/cfgtoollogs/opatch

· Locate the diagnostic records

· Compare the source and destination files. If all the source files are smaller by than 4 bytes compared to destination files then the patch has been applied successfully.

7.5 Gather schema statistics for sys, apps and applsys schemas

Reference:

· Execute the following statements to gather schema statistics. This is used to fasten the patching time.

· Login as 10g oracle user

SQL> connect / as sysdba

SQL>dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats(‘SYS’,cascade=>TRUE,degree=>24);

SQL>dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats(‘APPS’,cascade=>TRUE,degree=>24);

SQL>dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats(‘APPLSYS’,cascade=>TRUE,degree=>24);

7.6 Upgrade OUI to version 2.2 (patch 5035661)

Apply patch 5035661 to both iAS and RDBMS Oracle Home

Reference:

1. Applying the patch on the iAS $ORACLE_HOME:

· Unzip the patch into the <iAS ORACLE_HOME> directory:

unzip -od <iAS ORACLE_HOME> p5035661_11i_<PLATFORM>.zip

· Source the Apps environment file

· Change directory to the <iAS ORACLE_HOME>/appsoui/setup

· Execute the perl script OUIsetup.pl:

perl OUIsetup.pl

2. Applying the patch on the RDBMS $ORACLE_HOME:
