Upgrade Oracle Database 11g
=================================================
===============
Database upgrade important part of DBA life . So when doing upgrade database we make note some important point :-
1. Verify all the prerequisite h/w and s/w for target version .
2. Use out of place upgrade method (recommended by oracle )
3. Take backup of existing database which going to upgrade and keep backup if possible on another server (mount point like /bkp)
use RMAN (Recovery manager) to take full backup of database
Step 1:
============
Download Software from Oracle site.
| Oracle Database (includes Oracle Database and Oracle RAC) Note: you must download both zip files to install Oracle Database. | p13390677_112040_platform_1of7.zipp13390677_112040_platform_2of7.zip |
| Oracle Grid Infrastructure (includes Oracle ASM, Oracle Clusterware, and Oracle Restart) | p13390677_112040_platform_3of7.zip |
| Oracle Database Client | p13390677_112040_platform_4of7.zip |
| Oracle Gateways | p13390677_112040_platform_5of7.zip |
| Oracle Examples | p13390677_112040_platform_6of7.zip |
| Deinstall | p13390677_112040_platform_7of7.zip |
We need for Database:
p13390677_112040_platform_1of7.zipp13390677_112040_platform_2of7.zip
After unzip the downloaded software :-
unzip
p13390677_112040_platform_1of7.zipunzip p13390677_112040_platform_2of7.zip
Step 2:
==================
Click on runInstaller and install software with new oracle home
Step 3:
=================
After software install run pre-check before upgrade on running database using new oracle home run the prerequisite script
SQL> @/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/db_1/rdbms/admin/utlu112i.sql
SQL> !pwd

WARNING: --> Database is using a timezone file older than version 14.
.... After the release migration, it is recommended that DBMS_DST package
.... be used to upgrade the 11.2.0.1.0 database timezone version
.... to the latest version which comes with the new release.
WARNING: --> Your recycle bin is turned on and currently contains no objects.
.... Because it is REQUIRED that the recycle bin be empty prior to upgrading
.... and your recycle bin is turned on, you may need to execute the command:
PURGE DBA_RECYCLEBIN
.... prior to executing your upgrade to confirm the recycle bin is empty.
WARNING: --> Database contains schemas with objects dependent on DBMS_LDAP package.
.... Refer to the 11g Upgrade Guide for instructions to configure Network ACLs.
.... USER APEX_030200 has dependent objects.

**********************************************************************
Recommendations
**********************************************************************
Oracle recommends gathering dictionary statistics prior to
upgrading the database.
To gather dictionary statistics execute the following command
while connected as SYSDBA:
EXECUTE dbms_stats.gather_dictionary_stats;
**********************************************************************
Oracle recommends reviewing any defined events prior to upgrading.
To view existing non-default events execute the following commands
while connected AS SYSDBA:
Events:
SELECT (translate(value,chr(13)||chr(10),' ')) FROM sys.v$parameter2
WHERE UPPER(name) ='EVENT' AND isdefault='FALSE'
Trace Events:
SELECT (translate(value,chr(13)||chr(10),' ')) from sys.v$parameter2
WHERE UPPER(name) = '_TRACE_EVENTS' AND isdefault='FALSE'
Changes will need to be made in the init.ora or spfile.

SQL>
In above output all component all valid state and check all recommendation by this script
Check db must be running using spfile
-------------------------
Set the display
export DISPLAY=yourip :0.0
then run xclock its show popup
Run the ./runinstaller from command prompt
We skip this step click on netxt
We not provide support email id then show the error ignore this error click on yes
As per environment we select type of database
In my case stand alone single instance database so we select single instance database installation then click on next
select the language as per requirement in my case is English then click on next
Choose which database edition need to install in my case choose Enterprise Edition
then click on next
Define the Oracle Base and Software directory here we careful when give directory locations
then click on next
we use new home here
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/
check prerequisite must be check all package are install and meet software requirement
then click on next
Then click on next
Check all parameter which you give before parameter you define validate then click next
Here software is almost install then popup on execute Root Script
We login from root user and run script show on popup
after successful run root.sh click on ok .
then click on close
This stage software installation done we start upgrade database
Start Upgrade database
====================
We set some env. variable
set ORACLE_HOME new oracle oracle home which we install
set display
$export DISPLAY=yourip:0.0
check umask value should be 022
cd u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1//bin
and run ./dbua
check =>umask 022
check =>xclock
Execute dbua from new oracle home
click on next
Check here warning then click on next
Here select appropriate value and degree of parallelism as per env. here we take 1
if you upgrade time zone tick on timezone dbua also recommend to take backup if need then ypu specify backup location then click on next
Here choose do not move database files as Part of upgrade
if you move file system to ASM so choose as per requirement
then click on next
check report after upgrade report all components are show successful .
then you login the database from new ORACLE_HOME
check the /etc/oratab file
change .profile in unix/aix .bash_profile in linux set new oracle home location
Enjoy!!!
