ORACLE 9I TO 10G oracle upgrade from 9i to 10g (unix platform)

Hi all,

here is the procedure to upgrade the oracle 9i to 10g (9.2.0.6 to 10.2.0.4) ...

Some notes you might need in between:

1) note 841728 - 10.2: solutions for installation and upgrade problems

2) note 819830 - oracle database 10g: additional information on upgrade:unix

3) note 886783 - installing oracle 9207 client software on unix

4) note 600141 - oracle9i: automatic undo management

5) note 819829 - oracle instant client installation and configuration on unix

6) note 830577 - oracle database 10g: ora-21700 when upgrading to 10.1/10.2

7) note 871735 - current patch set for oracle 10.2.0

prerequisites for unix system :

1. Checking the correct unix users, groups, and authorizations:

enter the following commands with user orasid:

touch /oracle/write_test

rm /oracle/write_test

umask 022

2) checking the directory structure

create the staging directory /oracle/stage/102_64.

Extract or110264.sar from cd 51031670 to /oracle/stage/102_64

now perform the following:

cd /oracle/stage/102_64/database or

cd /oracle/stage/102_64/database/disk1

mv sap sap_orig

3) download rdbms_sap_64.zip from note #819830 and copy it over to the

/oracle/stage /102_64/database directory

4) extract the zip file:

cd /oracle/stage/102_64/database or

2/12

unzip rdbms_sap_64.zip (you should now see the directory sap extracted which

contains the updated version of sap-specific files)

5) check the oracle inventory directory /var/opt/oracle/orainst.loc

the default location for the oracle inventory is $oracle_base/orainventory

6) create the empty oracle home directory before starting the oui.

/oracle//102_64

7) running the pre-upgrade script

execute the following commands:

sqlplus /nolog

sql> connect / as sysdba

sql> spool /tmp/pre_upgrade.log

sql> @/oracle/stage/102_64/database/disk1/sap/utlu102i.sql

sql> spool off

sql> exit

(you can check the results of the pre-upgrade script by looking at the log file /tmp/pre_upgrade.log.)

8) checking the prerequisites for the oracle universal installer

log in as the oracle user ora.

Execute the following commands:


./runinstallerexecutesysprereqs

(if the oui complains that the operating system version is not certified or

supported, you can ignore this.if oui reports missing os patches, you need to

apply these before you can continue. )

9) download the latest version of the oracle client software ocl1020464.sar

before you start installing / extracting the oracle client software please

shutdown the sap application running on that host.updating the oracle client

software online (when the sap system is still running) is not supported and may

result in system errors/inconsistencies.

Now do the following:

mv /oracle/client/10x_64 /oracle/client/10x_64_orig

mkdir /oracle/client/10x_64


3/12

important!! Go up to this directory, cd /oracle/client/10x_64

sapcar -xvf /tmp/ocl1020464.sar

(refer note # 886783)

10) execute the sql script sapconn_role.sql as follows:

cp /oracle/stage/102_64/database/disk1/sap/sapconn_role.sql $oracle_home/dbs

cd $oracle_home/dbs

sqlplus /nolog @sapconn_role

11) 9. Migrating to automatic undo management

read sap note 600141,

12) 10. Stopping statspack reports (if running)

log on as the user under which the statspack jobs run (usually perfstat):

sql> connect perfstat/

sql> select job, what from user_jobs;

this displays a list of the jobs that are currently entered under the user perfstat.

Delete all jobs with the print job number :

sql> connect perfstat/

sql> execute dbms_job.remove( );

13)checking the system and sysaux tablespace for free space

make sure that the system and sysaux tablespaces have at least between 500 mb and 750 mb freespace.

(if your source database is oracle 9.2, there is no sysaux tablespace. In this case you can ignore references to the sysaux

tablespace in this section. )

check space by:

brspacef dbshowc tsinfos system

brspacef dbshowc tsinfos sysaux

if the size is less then 750 mb of freespace extend the tablespace.

14) checking for invalid database objects

a). Execute the following commands:

sql> spool invalid_objects

sql> select unique object_name, object_type, owner from dba_objects where status ='invalid';


4/12

sql> @?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql

sql> select unique object_name, object_type, owner from dba_objects where status ='invalid';

sql> spool off

a) list of invalid objects before the upgrade is now generated.invalid objects before upgrade

b) check the list of invalid objects after the upgrade.if any objects in the list from before the upgrade are also in the list of invalid

objects after the upgrade, you can be sure that this is not due to the upgrade process.

Oracle software installation( started )

1) set the environment variables below by editing the files .dbenv_.sh and .dbenv_.csh in the home directory of ora.

(do not make the changes to the environment permanent as long as the old database is still running)

a). Make sure the following environment variables are not set:

n two_task

n ora_nls

n ora_nls32

n ora_nls33

b). Set the following environment variables:

display :0.0 (it is the host on which the oui will be displayed.)

Oracle_base /oracle

oracle_sid

oracle_home /oracle//102_64

nls_lang set this to the output of the script checks.sql (/oracle/stage/102_64/database/disk1/sap . The database must be open

before you execute the script checks.sql. )

ora_nls10 $oracle_home/nls/data

sapdata_home /oracle/

shlib_path $oracle_home/lib:$shlib_path

c). Include $oracle_home/bin in your path or path variable, replacing the existing variable with the new one:

set path = ($oracle_home/bin $path)

check if the temporary directory (usually /tmp) has at least 400 mb of f ree space.

2) backup the oracle inventory

7) installing the current patch set

only have to install the latest (that is, the current) patch set.

Sap note 871735.

51036965_4 patch cd.

Now enter the following command to unzip and extract the installation files:

$ unzip *.zip

stop all listeners and other processes running in the oracle home directory, where you need to install the patch set.

Cd patchset_directory/disk1

./runinstaller

8) specify the detail and continue with installation

prerequisites for db upgrade

1. Copying and adapting the sql*net files

i. Log on as user ora.

Ii. If ora have environment variable tns_admin set, do the following:

a) choose a new location for the new sql*net parameter files and set tns_admin to point to the new location .

B) copy the sql*net parameter files from the old location to

c) edit the new sql*net files by adapting all file paths for the new directory. Be sure to adapt the value of oracle_home in the

listener.ora file.

Iii. If ora has not set the tns_admin environment variable, oracle first searches in /etc, in

$oracle_home/network/admin for the sql*net parameter files. Choose which of the following applies to your installation:

n the sql*net parameter files are located in directory /etc:

a) make a backup copy of the files.

B) edit the new sql*net files by adapting all file paths for the new directory. Be sure to adapt the value of oracle_home in the

listener.ora file.

N the sql*net parameter files are located in /network/admin:

a) copy the sql*net parameter files from to .

B) edit the new sql*net files by adapting all file paths for the new directory. Be sure to adapt the value of oracle_home in the

listener.ora file.

Iv. Since your database is still running in the old environment, do not start the listener with the new

listener.ora file at this point.

2) shutting down the sap system and oracle listener process

stopsap r3

lsnrctl stop
