# IF Merging
stop services
# Finishing tasks
* Log in to the target system application tier node as the APPLMGR user.
* Run the following tasks in adadmin for all products:
o generate JAR files
o generate message files
o relink executables
o copy files to destination
* Depending on which tier you chose as the primary node, certain files may be missing. Run adadmin to verify files
required at runtime. If any files are listed as missing files, you must manually copy them to the merged APPL_TOP.
* Remove the temporary directory <COMMON_TOP>/clone/appl to reduce disk space usage.

# Fix Problems Faced:

(A) Gather statistics

SELECT grantee FROM dba_role_privs WHERE granted_role = 'CONNECT' and grantee NOT IN ('SYS', 'OUTLN', 'SYSTEM',

(E) Check Time Zone to Upgrade After Full Upgrade

Installing utltzver.sql to 9i $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
SQL> conn / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> @utltzver.sql
Version 1

(F) make SYSTEM table space auto extend on by:
select file_id,file_name from dba_data_files where tablespace_name='SYSTEM';
#Choose files to make it auto extend
alter database datafile 1 autoextend on maxsize unlimited;

(G) Make sure of Temp free space
Resize Command
ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE 31 RESIZE 500m;
#and for temp replace 31 with the data file name

6- Upgrade the database instance(Manual Upgrade)

1- before upgrade copy pfile from 9i to 11g/dbs and modify it dut to the utlu112i_2.sql report specially the
"compatible" parameter EXAMPLE "BEFOREinitCLONE.ora"
2- shut every process
3- export 11g env + 9i SID
4- Steps
/as sysdba
SQL>startup upgrade
#create SYSAUX tablespace with th 9i datafiles
SQL>CREATE TABLESPACE sysaux DATAFILE '/u01/apps/oracle/proddata/sysaux01.dbf' SIZE 500M REUSE EXTENT
MANAGEMENT LOCAL SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO ONLINE;
SQL>Spool upgrade.log
SQL>@catupgrd.sql (under .../rdbms/admin/) --- > it takes about 3 hours on SPARC 8GB
SQL>@utlu102s.sql --- To see the results of upgrade

5- Bounce the database
6- Modify initialization parameters due to Database Initialization Parameters for Oracle Applications Release 11i [ID
216205.1]
and restart the database again EXAMPLE "AFTERinitCLONE.ora"
7-
SQL> drop database link EDW_APPS_TO_WH;
8- compile invalids
SQL> @utlrp.sql
Run utlrp.sql to recompile any remaining stored PL/SQL and Java code. --- > it takes about 7 hours on SPARC 8GB




7- After Upgrade

(1) Time Zone Upgrade
Script location to check the last available version
11g $ORACLE_HOME/oracore/zoneinfo

# Upgrading a time zone file and timestamp with time zone data contains the following
steps:
1. Shut down the database.
2. Start up the database in UPGRADE mode.
4. Execute DBMS_DST.BEGIN_UPGRADE(11);
5- shutdown immediate;
6- startup
7- to check the changes and the current state
select property_name, substr(property_value, 1, 30) value from database_properties where property_name like 'DST_%'
order by property_name;
8- check the will be updated table isa
select owner, table_name, upgrade_in_progress from all_tstz_tables where owner='SYSMAN';
9- ***Run The coming Mandatory even if the last query returns Null***Update the tables
set serveroutput on;
declare num_of_failures number;
begin
dbms_dst.upgrade_database(num_of_failures);
dbms_output.put_line(num_of_failures);
dbms_output.put_line(num_of_failures);
end
;
/

10- End Upgrade

set serveroutput on;
declare num_of_failures number;
begin
dbms_dst.end_upgrade(num_of_failures);
dbms_output.put_line(num_of_failures);
dbms_output.put_line(num_of_failures);
end
;
/

(2)Upgrade Statistic Tables

EXECUTE DBMS_STATS.UPGRADE_STAT_TABLE('APPLSYS', 'FND_STATTAB');

(8)Gather statistics for SYS schema
Copy $APPL_TOP/admin/adstats.sql

$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL> shutdown normal;
SQL> startup restrict;
SQL> @adstats.sql
SQL> shutdown normal;
SQL> startup;
SQL> exit;



8- Additional apps steps

(1)Apply Oracle Human Resources (HRMS) patch
7721754
(2)With Adadmin Re-create grants and synonyms
(3)fix ORA-29532 after database upgrade in APPS environment
#Check first
select owner,object_name, object_type from dba_objects where object_name
