Lets start the upgrade process.
spool sar2.log

When the upgrade script catupgrd.sql finishes shutdown the database and open the
spool of the upgrade process and try to
find out if any thing failed.
If you see something failed try to fix it and re-run the upgrade process.

Perform a normal startup and run the utlrp.sql script to recompile any invalid o
bjects.
