This post is to detail the required steps to upgrade Oracle E-Business Suite database from 12c to 19c for EBS Release 12.1.3.

HIGH LEVEL STEPS

· Software Requirements

· Pre-Upgrade Tasks

· 19c Database Installation

· Upgrade the Database to 19c

· After the Database Upgrade

· Convert Database to Multitenant Architecture

Environment Details :

Source Database : 12.1.0.2 (Non CDB)

Target Database : 19.10.0.0 (CDB with one PDB)

EBS Version : 12.1.3

OS : Solaris SPARC 64-Bit

1. 19C DATABASE UPGRADE

Packages Required

The following packages (or later versions) must be installed for oracle database 19c :

pkg://solaris/system/library/openmp

pkg://solaris/compress/unzip

pkg://solaris/developer/assembler

pkg://solaris/developer/build/make

pkg://solaris/system/dtrace

pkg://solaris/system/header

pkg://solaris/system/library

pkg://solaris/system/linker

pkg://solaris/system/xopen/xcu4 (If not already installed as part of standard Oracle Solaris 11 installation)

pkg://solaris/x11/diagnostic/x11-info-clients

pkg://solaris/system/kernel/oracka (Only for Oracle Real Application Clusters installations)

Execute the below as root user to install the recommended packages :

root@oracleebs:~#pkg install oracle-database-preinstall-19c

Execute the below as ora19c user to verify the Package information :

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ pkg list |grep <Package name> (Ex: pkg list|grep assembler )

Kernel Parameters

Below are the Minimum recommended values for oracle database 19c.

Resource Control Minimum Value

project.max-sem-ids 100

process.max-sem-nsems 256

project.max-shm-memory 8 GB

project.max-shm-ids 100 128

tcp_smallest_anon_port 9000

tcp_largest_anon_port 65500

udp_smallest_anon_port 9000

udp_largest_anon_port 65500

Execute the below command to check kernel Parameters :

root@oracleebs:~# prctl -n <Parameter>-i project default

(Ex : prctl -n project.max-sem-ids -i project default )

root@oracleebs:~# prctl $$(It returns all the kernel parameters)

root@oracleebs:~#ipadm show-prop -p smallest_anon_port,largest_anon_port udp

root@oracleebs:~#ipadm show-prop -p smallest_anon_port,largest_anon_port tcp

1.2 Pre-upgrade Tasks

Run Health Check Script

Run the below Health Check Script to Check for Known Problems in Oracle 12c which looks for some known common Data Dictionary problems.

$ su - ora19c

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ . ./TEST_oracleebs.env

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ cd /u03/oracle/scripts

SQL> spool off;

Fix For Health Check Violation

Check the health check log for any voilation in the source Database :

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ vi /u03/oracle/scripts/hcheck.log

Violation :HCKW-0016: Dependency$ p_timestamp mismatch for VALID objects

Run this query to find the objects with timestamp issue :

set pagesize 10000

column d_name format a20

column p_name format a20

SELECT

do.obj# d_obj,

do.name d_name,

do.type# d_type,

po.obj# p_obj,

po.name p_name,

to_char(p_timestamp,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') "P_Timestamp",

to_char(po.stime ,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') "STIME",

decode(sign(po.stime-p_timestamp),0,'SAME','*DIFFER*') X

FROM sys.obj$ do, sys.dependency$ d, sys.obj$ po

WHERE P_OBJ#=po.obj#(+)

AND D_OBJ#=do.obj#

AND do.status=1 /*dependent is valid*/

AND po.status=1 /*parent is valid*/

AND po.stime!=p_timestamp /*parent timestamp not match*/

ORDER BY 2,1;

- Execute the script above and Compile the Objects returned in the above query.

Once Compiled, Run the Health Check Script again and timestamp mismatch error should not appear this time.

2. Ensure there is adequate space in APPS_TS_TX_DATA tablespace for the upgrade.

Execute the below Query and Make sure Max size is greater than used Size :

SQL> SELECT TABLESPACE_NAME,SUM(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 "USED GB",SUM(maxbytes)/1024/1024/1024 "MAX GB"FROM TEST_data_filesWHERE tablespace_name ='APPS_TS_TX_DATA'GROUP BYTABLESPACE_NAME ;

Execute the below Query and make sure there is Enough space in APPS_TS_TX_DATA :

SQL> select tablespace_name, sum(bytes)/(1024*1024*1024) "Free GB"from TEST_free_space WHERE tablespace_name='APPS_TS_TX_DATA' group by tablespace_name;

3. Update ALLOWED_LOGON_VERSION_SERVER:

Perform the steps below to fix Preupgrade Action number 2 :

Add the parameter below to allow the users who have assigned with 10G password version.

Add the parameter below in sqlnet.ora :

SQLNET.ALLOWED_LOGON_VERSION_SERVER=11

4. Refresh MaterializedView :

Perform the steps below to fix Preupgrade Action number 4 :

Execute the below Query to find Materialized Views to be refreshed :

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL>alter session set nls_date_Format = 'hh24:mi:ss dd.mm.yyyy';

SQL>select mview_name, last_refresh_date, last_refresh_end_time from all_mviews

where last_refresh_date IS NULL;

Execute the below Query to Refresh MVIEW :

SQL>DECLARE

v_number_of_failures NUMBER(12) := 0;

BEGIN

DBMS_MVIEW.REFRESH_ALL_MVIEWS(v_number_of_failures,'C','', TRUE, FALSE);

END;

Note : After performing Performing Preupgrade Manual Tasksx, Re-Run the preupgrade.jar script and make sure none of the tasks have ‘Manual Fixup recommended’ in TEST Action Column. We can safely ignore preupgradecaction remedy for invalid objects.

Prepare to upgrade

Make sure the following initialization parameters before the upgrade:

- Comment out all the deprecated initalization parameters.

- Unset the olap_page_pool_size initialization parameter.

- Set the PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET initialization parameter to at least 10G.

- Set the SGA_TARGET initialization parameter to at least 2G.

- Add the EventParameter in pfile: event='10946 trace name context forever, level 8454144'

Ensure that the oratab file contains an entry for the database to be upgraded :

ora19c@oracleebs:~$cat /var/opt/oracle/oratab

TEST:/u02/oracle/TEST/db/tech_st/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1:N

The above 12c oracle home entry should present in oratab.

Note: The preupgrade.jar log file provides instructions to remove the OLAP catalog (amd_exists). It does not actually remove the OLAP catalog. Run the $ORACLE_HOME/olap/admin/catnoamd.sql script manually to remove the OLAP catalog.

$ cd $HOME

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ cp preupgrade.log preupgrade.log_pre

Apply Extra Fixes for 19c Upgrade

Below errors were occurred during the 19c upgrade. So Apply the Extra Fixes on Source Database before running DBUA. We are applying these Extra fixes for the errors which are already identified in the test upgrade. Double check whether these fixes are really applicable to your environment before you apply them.

-Source 12c env and apply these fixes.

$ su - ora19c

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ . ./TEST_oracleebs.env

1. Change Default TEMP Tablespace :

2. DROP Index "IDX$$_27FE500AC" :

Below Error encountered while 19c Upgrade, Apply the fix below before DBUA :

ORA-30556: either functional or bitmap join index is defined on the column to be modified

Important Note Find out the problematic index and drop it before DBUA. In my case it was "IDX$$_27FE500AC". you may have to done your own research to find the index. Also apply the extra fix only if you encounter with above said error.

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ cd /u03/oracle/scripts/

Connect as sysdba and execute the below to Backup the index before dropping it

ora19c@oracleebs:~$sqlplus / as sysdba

Get the Index Metadata before Dropping it.

SQL> @get_ddl_index.sql applsys AQ$_FND_CP_GSM_OPP_AQTBL_S

Drop The Index :

SQL>DROP INDEX "APPLSYS"."IDX$$_27FE500AC";

Create Gurantted Restore Point

Create a Restore Point before executing dbua :

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL>CREATE RESTORE POINT aft_preupg_fix_bef_dbua GUARANTEE FLASHBACK DATABASE;

Upgrade the database instance

Invoke DBUA using the following command. The keepEvents parameter allows events in the preupgraded database to be enabled during the upgrade.

ora19c@oracleebs:~$cd /u02/oracle/TEST/19.0.0/dbhome_1/bin

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ dbua -keepEvents

- Disregard warnings related to Network ACLs. AutoConfig manages all the Oracle E-Business Suite Network ACLs.

- When upgrading all statistics tables, note that Oracle E-Business Suite has only one statistics table (APPLSYS.FND_STATTAB) that needs to be upgraded

- Select TEST as source Database and click Next

- We can safely Ignore the below warnings since they are taken care in preupgrade tasks and click next

- Check ‘Enable Parallel Upgrade’, ‘Recompile Invalids’ and ‘Upgrade Timezone Data’ and click next

- Check own Backup and Restore Strategy and click Next

- Uncheck the CDB and click next

- Uncheck Enterprise Manager and click next

- Click Finish to upgrade the Database.

Make sure the below after the upgrade :

- The OLAP Catalog Component (AMD) may have "OPTION OFF" or "REMOVED" status in the TEST_registry table. Oracle E-Business Suite has no dependencies on AMD and so this is acceptable.

- Run utlrp and compile invalid objects

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ export ORACLE_SID=TEST

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u02/oracle/TEST/19.0.0/dbhome_1

- Check the component Status after the upgrade.

SQL> col COMP_NAME format a30

SQL> set lines 100

SQL> set pages 100

SQL>select comp_id,comp_name,status from TEST_registry;

Fix to update Compatibility Parameter

Error : ORA-38880: Cannot advance compatibility from 12.1.0.0.0 to 19.0.0.0.0 due to

Execute the query below to check available Guaranteed restore points in the database :

SQL> SELECT NAME, SCN, TIME, DATABASE_INCARNATION#,GUARANTEE_FLASHBACK_DATABASE, STORAGE_SIZE FROM v$RESTORE_POINT WHERE GUARANTEE_FLASHBACK_DATABASE='YES';

Modify initialization parameters after the upgrade

- If you previously had the SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON initialization parameter set to FALSE, re-enable the parameter.

- Set COMPATIBLE to 19.0.0.

- Revert PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGETback to the original value.

Perform patch post-install instructions in 19c

We can perform Patch post installation instructions since the db is upgraded.

Note: Several patches may require datapatch to be run. This only needs to be run once after the last patch has been applied.

Gather statistics for SYS schema

Copy $APPL_TOP/admin/adstats.sql to DB node. Note that adstats.sql has to be run in restricted mode. Check the degree of parallelism is set to 30 in adstats.sql script.

As applTEST user,

applTEST@oracleebs:~$ cp$APPL_TOP/admin/adstats.sql /tmp

As ora19c user,

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ cp /tmp/adstats.sql /u02/oracle/TEST/19.0.0/dbhome_1/rdbms/admin/

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

SQL> alter system enable restricted session;

SQL> set timi on

SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/adstats.sql

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

SQL> alter system disable restricted session;

1.6 Convert 19c Database to Multitenant Architecture

Create the PDB descriptor

Source the 19c ENV file :

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ . ./txkSetCfgCDB.env dboraclehome=/u02/oracle/TEST/19.0.0/dbhome_1

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ export ORACLE_SID=TEST

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ vi txkOnPremPrePDBCreationTasks.pl

Search for word ‘nslookup’

Comment the line below :

#$temp_hostname = `nslookup \`hostname\` | awk \'BEGIN {rv=1;} /^Name:/ {print \$2; exit rv=0;} END {exit rv;}\'`;

Hardcode the below in txkOnPremPrePDBCreationTasks.pl script.

$temp_hostname = "hostname.domainname";

EX :$temp_hostname = "oracleebs.ebs.com";

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ perl txkOnPremPrePDBCreationTasks.pl -dboraclehome=/u02/oracle/TEST/19.0.0/dbhome_1-outdir=$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/log -appsuser=apps -dbsid=TEST

Note: The txkOnPremPrePDBCreationTasks.pl script shuts down the non-CDB database. Do not manually bring up the non-CDB database.

Update the CDB initialization parameters

Copy TEST_initparam.sql andTEST_datatop.txt from 12c oracle home to 19c.

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ . ./txkSetCfgCDB.env dboraclehome=/u02/oracle/TEST/19.0.0/dbhome_1

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ export ORACLE_SID=CDBTEST

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ cd /u02/oracle/TEST/db/tech_st/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/dbs

ora19c@oracleebs:~$cp TEST_initparam.sql TEST_datatop.txt /u02/oracle/TEST/19.0.0/dbhome_1/dbs

$ cd /u02/oracle/TEST/19.0.0/dbhome_1/dbs

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

SQL> startup nomount;

SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/TEST_initparam.sql

SQL> alter system set LOCAL_LISTENER="oracleebs:1524" scope=both;

SQL> alter system register;

Note :

- Ignore any ORA-25138 errors that occur when there are initialization parameters in the source database that are obsolete in Oracle Database 19c.

- Note: During this process, setting some parameters using ALTER SYSTEM SET may fail as they can only be set when the database is open. For any such parameters, identify the appropriate ALTER SYSTEM SET commands from the TEST_initparam.sql script and run them manually after starting or opening the database. You will need to restart the database again for those parameters to take effect.

Check for PDB violations

Use the following commands to run the txkChkPDBCompatability.pl script. This checks the PDB for any violations.

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ . ./txkSetCfgCDB.env dboraclehome=/u02/oracle/TEST/19.0.0/dbhome_1

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ export ORACLE_SID=CDBTEST

ora19c@oracleebs:~$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin
