Oracle Database Upgrade from 10gR2 to 11gR2 in Oracle Applications 11i (EBS)

The Below article illustrate all step by step methods Involved in performing out of place upgrade (11.2.0.2) in Oracle E-Business suite 11i Environment.

For more Information on "Inplace and Out-of-place Upgrade" please refer http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/03/oracle-11gr2-inplace-and-out-of-place.html

Steps:

1) Perform all OS specific requirement for Installing 11gR2 Database.
2) Install 11.2.0.2 $ORACLE_HOME in separate home.
3) Install examples CD in 11.2.0.2 HOME
4) Copy Context_name.env, Initilization parameter files and oracle network configuration files to NEW home and update 11.2.0.2 settings
5) Source new env file and verify all variables
6) Create nls/data/9idata directory
7) Add ORA_NLS10 env variable to env file and verify the env variable
8) Apply additional interoperability database patches (Opatches)
9) Run Pre-upgrade tool
10) Update changes as recommended by pre-upgrade tool
11) Verify INVALID components
12) Check time zone file
13) check deprecated connect role
14) Purge recyclebin
15) Shutdown database and perform full backup
16) confirm backup
17) start listener from NEW 11g home
18) Run dbua from 11g_home without setting any .env file
19) Perform All post upgrade tasks - Run adgrants.sql, Grant create procedure privilege on CTXSYS , - Set CTXSYS parameter.
20) Implement and run autoconfig
21) Gather statistics for SYS schema
22) Apply Application patches adpatch
23) Re-create grants and synonyms using adadmin
24) Upgrade TimZone file version
25) startup applications and verify access
26) Check all database and application alert logs
27) After confirmation release system for users.


1) Perform all OS specific requirement for Installing 11gR2 Database.


Hardware Requirements
* Oracle software requires a minimum of 1024 MB of RAM for successful installation.

* The following table describes the relationship between installed RAM and the configured swap space requirement:
RAM Swap Space
Between 1 GB and 2 GB 1.5 times the size of RAM
Between 2 GB and 16 GB Equal to the size of RAM
More than 16 GB 16 GB


* 1 GB Mb of free space in /tmp
* The disk space requirements for software files for each installation type:
Enterprise Edition - 4.68 GB
Standard Edition - 4.62 GB
Custom Edition - 4.71 GB (maximum)

* Between 1.5 GB and 2 GB of disk space is required for preconfigured database that uses file system storage (optional).

Available hardware is sufficient for 11gR2 Installation.

Software Requirements
Minimum version Solaris 10 U6 (5.10-2008.10)
Installed Version Solaris 10 U8 (5.10-2009-9)

Check OS packages:


pkginfo -i SUNWarc SUNWbtool SUNWcsl SUNWhea SUNWi15cs SUNWi1cs SUNWi1of SUNWlibC SUNWlibm SUNWlibms SUNWsprot SUNWtoo SUNWxwfnt





To verify patches:


bash-3.00$ patchadd -p | grep 141736
bash-3.00$ patchadd -p | grep 141414
bash-3.00$ patchadd -p | grep 139555
bash-3.00$ patchadd -p | grep 141016
bash-3.00$ patchadd -p | grep 140899
bash-3.00$ patchadd -p | grep 140796
bash-3.00$ patchadd -p | grep 125555
bash-3.00$ patchadd -p | grep 119963
bash-3.00$ patchadd -p | grep 139574
bash-3.00$ patchadd -p | grep 120753


Compiler Requirement:

Sun One Studio 12 (C and C++ 5.9) is supported with Pro*C/C++, Oracle Call Interface, Oracle C++ Call Interface, and Oracle XML Developer's Kit (XDK) for Oracle Database 11g Release 2.

To check Installation of Sun Studio:




Additional requirements:

To verify version of JAVA:


bash-3.00$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_22"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_22-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_22-b03, mixed mode)
bash-3.00$


OS Environment
*Kernel parameters
Solaris 10 uses the resource control facility to implement the System V IPC. However, Oracle recommends that you set both resource control and /etc/system/ parameters. Operating system parameters not replaced by resource controls continue to affect performance and security on Solaris 10 systems.

Parameter Replaced by Resource Control Minimum Value
noexec_user_stack NA (can be set in /etc/system only) 1
semsys:seminfo_semmni project.max-sem-ids 100
semsys:seminfo_semmsl process.max-sem-nsems 256
shmsys:shminfo_shmmax project.max-shm-memory 4294967295
shmsys:shminfo_shmmni project.max-shm-ids 100
Please note that "project.max-shm-memory" represent the maximum shared memory available for a project, so the value for this parameter should be greater than sum of all SGA size.

The ulimit settings determine process memory related resource limits. Verify that the shell limits displayed in the following table are set to the values shown:

Shell Limit Recommended Value
TIME -1 (Unlimited)
FILE -1 (Unlimited)
DATA Minium value: 1048576
STACK Minium value: 32768
NOFILES Minium value: 4096
VMEMORY Minium value: 4194304

To display the current value specified for these shell limits enter the following commands:
ulimit -t
ulimit -f
ulimit -d
ulimit -s
ulimit -n
ulimit -v


Also set new kernel parameters:


bash-3.00# ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_largest_anon_port 65550
bash-3.00# ndd -set /dev/udp udp_smallest_anon_port 9000
bash-3.00# ndd -set /dev/udp udp_largest_anon_port 65500
bash-3.00# ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_smallest_anon_port 9000


-- These OS requirement settings are as per the Sun Solaris 10 Sparc 64-bit architecture. Other platform should verify their OS requirements as per tech note "Oracle Database on Unix AIX,HP-UX,Linux,Mac OS X,Solaris,Tru64 Unix Operating Systems Installation and Configuration Requirements Quick Reference (8.0.5 to 11.2) [ID 169706.1]"


2) Install 11.2.0.2 $ORACLE_HOME in separate home:

- Download and unzip 11.2.0.2 patchset (p10098816_112020_SOLARIS64)unzip it in stage area.
- create 11g realted .env file


bash-3.00$ more ora11g.env
ORACLE_BASE=/db/data
export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/11.2.0.2
export ORACLE_HOME
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/sbin/:usr/ucb:/etc:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin:$PATH
export PATH
bash-3.00$


- Make sure you have proper Display variable configured and xlcock is working fine.
- runInstaller from stage Area
- Follow screens to complete your Installation



























- Run root.sh as root user and then click "OK"



- Installation of 11.2.0.2 completed successfully

3) Install examples CD in 11.2.0.2 HOME:













After the installation, make sure that:
• The ORACLE_HOME environment variable points to the new 11.2.0 Oracle home.
• The PATH environment variable includes $ORACLE_HOME/bin and the directory where the new perl executable is located (usually $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin).
• The LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable includes $ORACLE_HOME/lib.
• The PERL5LIB environment variable points to the directories where the new perl libraries are located (usually $ORACLE_HOME/perl/lib/[perl version] and $ORACLE_HOME/perl/lib/site_perl/[perl version])


Create nls/data/9idata directory:

On the database server node, as the owner of the Oracle RDBMS file system and database instance, run the $ORACLE_HOME/nls/data/old/cr9idata.pl script to create the $ORACLE_HOME/nls/data/9idata directory.


bash-3.00$ perl cr9idata.pl
Creating directory /db/data/11.2.0.2/nls/data/9idata ...
Copying files to /db/data/11.2.0.2/nls/data/9idata...
Copy finished.
Please reset environment variable ORA_NLS10 to /db/data/11.2.0.2/nls/data/9idata!
bash-3.00$ pwd
/db/data/11.2.0.2/nls/data/old
bash-3.00$


Add ORA_NLS10 env variable to env file and verify the env variable :


bash-3.00$ . PREPROD_testdb.env
bash-3.00$ echo $ORA_NLS10
/db/data/11.2.0.2/nls/data/9idata
bash-3.00$


Apply additional interoperability database patches (Opatches):

- Set the PATH variable for Opatch and verify the same


bash-3.00$ pwd
/db/data/11.2.0.2/OPatch
bash-3.00$ PATH=/db/data/11.2.0.2/OPatch:$PATH; export PATH
bash-3.00$ which opatch
/db/data/11.2.0.2/OPatch/opatch
bash-3.00$


- verify opatch utility


bash-3.00$ opatch lsinventory
