Server Administration :: Patching From Oracle 11.2.0.2 To 11.2.0.3
Jun 7, 2013
I am trying to upgrade and 64bits Oracle database from 11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.3.0 (after that ill install .6) But when i try to upgrade the binaries, i get a message that does not find the instance to upgrade.If i skip that msg and try to upgrade the binaries only, i get another one message that in that ORACLE_HOME there are another binaries installed and it forces to choose another directorie.Then i try to set my enviroments variables using . oraenv but (as oracle owner) i don't have permissions over . oraenv.
That's make me think that someone does a bad installation then i tried to fix it using $ORACLE_HOME/install/changePerm.sh and i did not found it (after searching on metalling i found the note 834626.1 that says that in Oracle 11 there is not anymore changePerm.sh. Originally i moved 11.2.0.2 binaries to another directory and installed (after changing the loc on xml of the oraInventory) and installed the 11.2.0.3 binaries in my old ORACLE_ HOME and imported init, listener, tnsnames and works fine. But there are a lot of databases with the same problems and i don't wanna use the same workaround.

Database version: 10.2.0.4 Patch 45 on Windows 2003
1. Documentation says to set "_first_spare_parameter" to resolve bug 6904068. What should be the value if we actually see this bug occurring after applying the patch. How can we determine that we need this parameter to be turned on?
2. How can we determine we need to set "_third_spare_parameter"? How can we check if there is a regression on log files?

I'm a long time Oracle DBA but have only recently started with RAC and have never done any patching or upgrades in a RAC environment.
My environment consists of a 2 node RAC cluster, and 2 physical standbys at separate remote locations.
The database, GI, ASM, and clusterware are all at version 11.2.0.1.
I want to upgrade all components to the latest patchset which is 11.2.0.3. Eventually I also want to apply the latest PSU.
Can I do this without down time? It is a mission critical database where downtime could conceivably endanger lives. If it can't be done with zero downtime, then downtime must be kept to an absolute minimum (minutes, not hours).
I suspect the clusterware needs to be patched first and I do not know whether I can do it on one node at a time.

Our production environment has standby. We have one option that we can make standby to primary. Is there any other options that we can use?

GRID version: 11.2.0.3 , 11.2.0.2
Platform : AIX 6.1
We install grid using Grid Installer GUI. When doing a fresh installation of Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.2 or 11.2.0.3 in a new server , I want to apply its latest PSU as well. When should I do this PSU patching ?
A. Should I apply the GI PSU after the entire Grid installation is successfully completed ?
or
B. Should I apply the GI PSU just before running the root.sh ?
i.e. when the installer prompts you to run root.sh (see the screenshot below)
[URL].........
At this stage(before running root.sh) the GI binaries are in place . So , I can apply the PSU on these binaries? Right?Should I follow option A or B above ?

We use Apex 4.2 with Apex Listener. Recently we patched apex to 4.2.2 and now when we try to create a form based on a table, after selecting the schema and table we get the following error: "You do not have access to the schema that you are importing.
Import failed" I've seen some posts regarding this error but nothing that works with my current situation. The database grants are in place.

I was trying to delete the database in the test server. When i was deleting listener was already stopped, i continued deleting using dbca, it shown me some alert that datafiles cant be deleted because system could't find database, since listner was stopped so only service was deleted(the one showing in the windows administrator toolsservicesOracleServiceTEST).
All the datafile parameter files are still there. How can i delete the datafiles and parameter files belongs to that database or how to create the deleted service, so that i will start the listener and do the complete deleting of the database.

I am trying to find the unix process for one of my application in the database but I am unable to view the same. To simulate, I did the following.
1. My database runs on different server.
2. I invoked "sqlplus" from another unix box to login to the database.
3. I found that the process id (ps -ef |grep sqlplus).
4. When I execute the below mentioned query it does not display the process id that I am looking for. But the osuser, username, program and machine details are correct. How can I know the process details from the database?
SELECT SYS.GV_$SESSION.OSUSER, SYS.GV_$SESSION.USERNAME, SYS.GV_$PROCESS.SPID,
SYS.GV_$SESSION.MACHINE, SYS.GV_$SESSION.PROGRAM,
SYS.GV_$PROCESS.PROGRAM ,SYS.GV_$SESSION.SQL_ID
FROM
SYS.GV_$PROCESS, SYS.GV_$SESSION
WHERE
SYS.GV_$PROCESS.ADDR=SYS.GV_$SESSION.PADDR and SYS.GV_$SESSION.USERNAME='TEST'
and SYS.GV_$SESSION.MACHINE like '%hostname%'

I'm trying to connect a oracle client application on the client machine to a remote oracle server on the server machine but i get a connection fail.
On the server machine I configured oracle server in the following way:
Installed oracle server. Created a database "DB_Test" with the database configuration assistant Created a LISTNER with the Oracle NET Manager with the following parameter:
Protocol: TCP/IP HOST: server pc hostname (ENZOVAIO) or server machine address ip (192.168.0.71) in the network lan Port Number: 1521 Created "dbtest" service with the Oracle NET Manager with with the following parameter:
Service Name: "dbtest" Protocol: TCP/IP HOST: server pc hostname (ENZOVAIO) or server machine address ip (192.168.0.71) in the network lan Port Number: 1521
All services on the server machine are running and I opened port number (1521) in the router. On the client machine I installed SQL PLUS and SQL Developer.
With SQL Plus as by the official documentation I have entered the following command:
CONNECT username/password@[//]host[:port][/service_name]. In my case is:
CONNECT SYSTEM/oracledb@//ENZOVAIO:1521/testdb.
With SQL Developer I have entered the same parameter.
But with both SQLPlus and SQL Developer the connection fails.

We performed image copy of production Oracle server (OS and instances) to a backup server. After a few weeks, we try to restore a latest Oracle database backup from production server to backup server. As we know, Oracle instance must be unique on the network.
Even we log on to backup server and bring up the instance, I think that still point to production instance since all init file, TNSNAMES.ora and listener file are still same. If we restore the database, we will end up bring down the production instance and restore on top of productions. How to change instance name on backup server including TNSNAMES, sqlnet, listener files in order for us to restore Oracle database from production to backup server?

We will be having a meeting with our client regarding their Database Server Migration (They are planning to buy a new server). Their current database is Oracle 10gR2, they will not upgrade to 11g, they just plan to migrate to a new more powerful machine.
I was planning to ask the following questions.
1. Specifications of the current server and the new one.
2. Operation system (I think they will use same OS, just an updated one)
3. Can the business afford full downtime on current servers?
4. Size of the DB, because it can take hours to move large files.
And is there documentation regarding Server Migration (Change of machine only, not database upgrade or anything,

In Process of upgrading Oracle EBS 12.0.4 to 12.1.1 I updated the $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/jdk to jdk 6u24. After replacing the original jdk with jdk 6u24 when I attempted to start the apps adoacorectl.sh failed with below error.
Quote:ld.so.1: /d4/app/oracle/apps/12.0.0/vdd700/web/10.1.3/appsutil/jdk/bin/java: fatal: libjli.so: open failed: No such file or d
irectory
I followed below steps to update the jdk
1. extracted the jdk-6u24-solaris-sparcv9.tar.Z to $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/jdk
2. Copied lib from old jdk to $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/jdk
3. Copied lib from oldjdk/jre to $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/jdk/jre
4. The java was not infact in jdk/bin rather it was /bin/sparcv9 so I copied them to /jdk/bin. The same way copied the executables from /jdk/jre/bin/sparcv9 to /jdk/jre/bin .

We are using oracle 10g in linux machine which runs as server. And there are around 25 clients which run at the same time parallel to each other. I am new to oracle 10g and also for client-server version of database. I faced some problems when i first put the server into actual use.
-> Users have been created and tablespace is USERS and temporary space is TEMP. RESOURCE privilege is given.
-> Some times login fails for some clients.
-> Some times all the client login will be successful.
-> Query execution will be sometimes fast, but some times it takes too much time.
-> Some times the connection will be lost and again I have bring UP the server.
to maintain the oracle server.
-> Should I have to make any configuration settings in the server.
-> Should I change any values in the server.
-> Is there any way to properly maintain the server.

We have changed the SYSDATE to 03-FEB-1994 in our AIX machine where oracle11g database is running. Once the sysdate is changed db and listner are getting down immediately and its generating the core in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
This AIX machine is for PT test and as per one requirement we are changing the sysdate. Moreover, we found that database is getting down if we change the sysdate till 1999. If we change the sysdate to 2000, then we are not seeing any issue.
Below point is for additional info. After changing the sysdate and trying to connect to the db user, we are getting the below issue.
$ sqlplus '/as sysdba'
Segmentation issue (Core dump)

I have an Oracle DB's charset configured for Korean language and things in there are English and Korean and they are working fine. If i try to import a txt file with Chinese characters into the DB. It doesn't show correctly on query.
Is there any way I can solve this ? Since I find that there are many charset / NLS language options througout DB. I read from others that they have the following response. Any alternative beside changing the whole DB charset ?
Recreate the database with the correct character set
Convert the database to AL32UTF8. Documentation link
Change the databases National Character Set to AL32UTF8 & change your application to use NVARCHAR2()/NCHAR() datatypes instead of VARCHAR2() (documented at the same link as above)
