Step by Step Upgrading Oracle 10g to Oracle 11g ----------------------------------------------February 24, 2011 by samadhan Recently we did database upgrade

from 10g to Oracle 11g.I would like share that activity with you. Pre-Requisite: You should have the Oracle database 10g, which you want to migerate. Also here we are upgrading to Oracle Database 11g Beta 6 (11.1.0.6) Step 1) Installing Oracle 11g Home We cannot upgrade the existing Oracle Home, since 11g is not a patchset. We have to install 11g oracle home as a seperate ORACLE_HOME in parallel to 10g Oracle Home. Example my 10g Oracle Home is : /u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0 then my 11g Oracel Home is : /u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/11.1.0 Just a parallel 11.1.0 directory can be created and we can install oracle home i n this location. Start the installation using the below command ./runInstaller -invPtrLoc /u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/11.1.0/oraInst Screen 1 Select Product Install select Oracle Database 11g Screen 2 Select Installation Method Choose Advanced Installation Screen 3 Specify Inventory directory and creditials Note: We are providing local inventory here inside the corresponding ORACLE_HOME location. Screen 4 Select Installation Type Choose Enterprise Edition Screen 5 Installation Location Oracle Base as parent directory of ORACLE HOME Screen 6 Product Specific Pre-requisite Checks It may gives below warning, we can ignore and proceed further Screen 7 Upgrade an Existsing Database Choose No Screen 8 Select Configuration Option Choose Install Software Only Screen 9 Privileged system groups

Based on the group of oracle user, this value has to be set. Screen 10 Summary

Click on

Install

At the end of installation, installer will ask to run root.sh script. Do not pre ss OK button. Run root.sh as a root user and once done, press OK button. This will complete th e software installation for Oracle Database 11g. Step 2) Pre-Upgrade Utility In 11g Home you installed, go to $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin and copy the file utlu 111i.sql to some temp location. [oracle]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME [oracle]$ cd rdbms/admin/ [oracle]$ pwd /u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/product/11.1.0/db_1/rdbms/admin [oracle]$ cp utlu111i.sql /tmp The utility will give the output in the form of recommendations to be implemente d before starting the upgrade. Unless these requirements are met, the upgrade will fail. Most of the time issue use to come up with time zone . Then login to the 10g oracle database and run the above sql you copied. Oracle Database 11.1 Pre-Upgrade Information Tool 23-02-2011 01:34:07 . ********************************************************************** Database: ********************************************************************** > name: ORCL > version: 10.2.0.1.0 > compatible: 10.2.0.1.0 > blocksize: 8192 > platform: Linux IA (32-bit) > timezone file: V2 . ********************************************************************** Tablespaces: [make adjustments in the current environment] ********************************************************************** > SYSTEM tablespace is adequate for the upgrade. . . . .

Refer to the . 11g Upgrade Guide for instructions to save the EM data prior to upgrade. . PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. The utility will give the output in the form of recommendations to be implemente d before starting the upgrade. Unless these requirements are met, the upgrade will fail.

Step 3) Executing the recommended steps Following are the critical steps to be executed based on above warnings. These commands are to be executed while connecting to database from 10g Oracle H ome WARNING: > Database is using an old timezone file version. . Patch the 10.2.0.1.0 database to timezone file version 4 . BEFORE upgrading the database. Re-run utlu111i.sql after . patching the database to record the new timezone file version. Finding the Version of existing timezone files: SQL> select * from v$timezone_file; FILENAME VERSION timezlrg.dat 2 SQL> WHEN WHEN WHEN WHEN WHEN WHEN WHEN WHEN WHEN WHEN WHEN WHEN ELSE FROM SELECT CASE COUNT(DISTINCT(tzname)) 183 then 1 355 then 1 347 then 1 377 then 2 186 then case COUNT(tzname) WHEN 636 then 2 WHEN 626 then 3 ELSE 0 end 185 then 3 386 then 3 387 then case COUNT(tzname) WHEN 1438 then 3 ELSE 0 end 391 then case COUNT(tzname) WHEN 1457 then 4 ELSE 0 end 392 then case COUNT(tzname) WHEN 1458 then 4 ELSE 0 end 188 then case COUNT(tzname) WHEN 637 then 4 ELSE 0 end 189 then case COUNT(tzname) WHEN 638 then 4 ELSE 0 end 0 end VERSION v$timezone_names;

VERSION 2 If the Version of the existing timezone is less than 4, then apply the patch for Version 4 timezone files. Check the database version SQL> select banner from v$version; BANNER Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.1.0 Production CORE 10.2.0.1.0 Production TNS for Linux: Version 10.2.0.1.0 Production NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.1.0 Production Prod

For 10.2.0.1 check the metalink note ID 413671.1. We have a table which defines the patch to be applied. Always try to use the official patch The script (and on 10g also the csv file) are normally delivered through install

ation of a patch in the Oracle home. Please note that before using this note you are advised to double check that the time zone patches are not available for your patchset. Applying the correct patch through opatch is always preferable to the manual metho d described in this note. If there is no official patchset for the version you are currently having then y ou can Identify the utltzuv2.sql & timezdif.csv combination patch for a different patchset, but same release. For example if you run 10.2.0.1 and you are trying to find the utltzuv2.sql scri pt & timezdif.csv file you can find the correct patch 5632264 for 10.2.0.2 and this will be applicable to 10.2.0.1 a s well. Please follow the metalink note ID 396387.1 Once you identify the correct patchset(5632264 for 10.2.X), download the same an d unzip it. [oracle]$ unzip p5632264_10202_LINUX.zip [oracle]$ ls etc files README.txt [oracle]$ cd files/oracore/zoneinfo [oracle]$ ls readme.txt timezlrg.dat timezone.dat Backup $ORACLE_HOME/oracore/zoneinfo directory [oracle]$ cp -R $ORACLE_HOME/oracore/zoneinfo $ORACLE_HOME/oracore/zoneinfo_back up Copy the .dat files [oracle]$ cp timezone.dat timezlrg.dat $ORACLE_HOME/oracore/zoneinfo Bounce the database and check the TIMEZONE version again SQL> select * from v$timezone_file; FILENAME VERSION timezlrg.dat 4 SQL> WHEN WHEN WHEN WHEN WHEN WHEN WHEN WHEN WHEN WHEN WHEN WHEN ELSE FROM SELECT CASE COUNT(DISTINCT(tzname)) 183 then 1 355 then 1 347 then 1 377 then 2 186 then case COUNT(tzname) WHEN 636 then 2 WHEN 626 then 3 ELSE 0 end 185 then 3 386 then 3 387 then case COUNT(tzname) WHEN 1438 then 3 ELSE 0 end 391 then case COUNT(tzname) WHEN 1457 then 4 ELSE 0 end 392 then case COUNT(tzname) WHEN 1458 then 4 ELSE 0 end 188 then case COUNT(tzname) WHEN 637 then 4 ELSE 0 end 189 then case COUNT(tzname) WHEN 638 then 4 ELSE 0 end 0 end VERSION v$timezone_names;

Step 4) Run Pre-Upgrade Utility again After executing the recommended steps, run the pre-upgrade utility once again to make sure, you don t get any critical warnings. Run the pre-upgrade utility script on 10g database while connecting from 10g ora cle home. If every thing looks fine, Shut down the database from 10g Oracle Home This time make sure you dont have the critical warnings like the one with TIMEZO NE version.
