Introduction

1 Introduction

This documentation explains how to upgrade the Oracle database for the SAP system on the UNIX operating system: ¸¾˜zòí From Oracle version 9.2.0 or Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.4) ¸¾˜zòí To Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) CAUTION

SAP certifies Oracle 10.2 only from release 10.2.0.2. SAP does not certify nor support Oracle 10.2.0.1. Make sure that your target release is Oracle 10.2.0.2 or later. This documentation only covers the upgrade from Oracle 9.2.0.4 or later – including Oracle 10.1.0.4 – to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2). NOTE

Oracle offers and supports direct database upgrades from Oracle 8.1.7 to Oracle 10.2 although we do not recommend this. We do not describe direct upgrades in this documentation. SAP has not tested and validated the direct upgrade path from Oracle 8.1.7 to Oracle 10.2. If you intend to perform a direct upgrade from Oracle 8.1.7 to Oracle 10.2, see the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) upgrade documentation. You can obtain the Oracle documentation at the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) website. You use the tools Oracle Universal Installer (OUI), Oracle SQL*Plus, and Oracle Database Upgrade Assistant (DBUA) to perform the upgrade. CAUTION

Make sure you have the latest version of this document. You can always find this as follows: http://service.sap.com/instguides Database Upgrades Oracle . NOTE

In this document we use <DBSID> for the database instance identifier and <SAPSID> for the SAP system identifier. These can be different if your: ¸¾˜zòí Database system uses Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) ¸¾˜zòí SAP system uses Multiple Components in One Database (MCOD) Implementation Considerations

Checking the Original Version of Your Database

2 Planning

RECOMMENDATION

Before the production upgrade, make sure that you perform a test upgrade on your backup system, either with database upgrade assistant (DBUA) (recommended) or manually. 1. 2. 3. 4.

You check the original version of your database [page 9]. You check the hardware and software requirements [page 10]. You review the Oracle-specified kernel parameters and shell limits [page 11]. You check additional requirements for the upgrade [page 11].

2.1 Checking the Original Version of Your Database You need to check the original version of the database you want to upgrade. CAUTION

This SAP upgrade documentation only covers the standard upgrade from Oracle 9.2.0.4 or later to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) using the Oracle Database Upgrade Assistant (DBUA). Process

In the following special cases you need to obtain more information: !©!„a If you are upgrading from Oracle 8.1.7 or an earlier release, read the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) upgrade documentation for information on the special steps required. Although Oracle supports direct upgrades from Oracle 8.1.7 to Oracle 10.2.0, we recommend customers running Oracle 8.1.7 to first upgrade to Oracle 9.2.0 and then to Oracle 10.2.0. !©!„a If you are upgrading from Oracle 9.2.0 to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) in manual mode. !©!„a If the source database runs Oracle 9.2.0.3, 9.2.0.2, or 9.2.0.1, you need to update the source database to patch set 9.2.0.4 or later. The DBUA checks for the source release of the Oracle 9.2 database. If the source database runs on a lower version than Oracle 9.2.0.4 you cannot proceed. For more information in these special cases, see the documentation for the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) upgrade at the Oracle website. RECOMMENDATION

If the source database is Oracle 10.1 we strongly recommend that it is at least version Oracle 10.1.0.4.

2.3

Reviewing the Oracle-Specified Kernel Parameters and Shell Limits

2.3 Reviewing the Oracle-Specified Kernel Parameters and Shell Limits You need to review the Oracle-recommended kernel parameters and shell limits for your operating system with Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2). These are only recommendations from Oracle for optimizing the system performance in production environments. If the recommended settings are not suitable for your system you must tune the kernel parameters accordingly. Procedure

Obtain the recommended shell limits and kernel parameters from the relevant Oracle database installation guide for your operating system, which you can find at: www.oracle.com/technology/documentation

Select the appropriate documentation for Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2).

2.4 Checking Additional Requirements for the Upgrade You need to check the additional requirements for the Oracle database upgrade as described in this section. Procedure

1.

Make sure you have read the SAP Notes for the upgrade [page 6], which you can find at http://service.sap.com/notes

2.

3.

Make sure your operating system and initial database version meets SAP requirements. We approve specific combinations of operating system version, database version, SAP release, and SAP kernel release: µÈk Ãè SAP Release 4.6x, see SAP Note 156548 µÈk Ãè SAP Release 6.x, see SAP Note 407314 To upgrade from a remote PC, you need X-Windows software on the PC, as described in SAP Note 432861. RECOMMENDATION

4.

In some situations the OUI and DBUA screens are not displayed correctly when started remotely. In such cases we recommend you to start the OUI and the DBUA directly from the console. Download the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) installation guide for your operating system from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN). You need this document to review the hardware and software requirements and to configure the kernel parameters and shell limits.

Preparation

3.1

Checking the Correct UNIX Users, Groups, and Authorizations

3 Preparation

You have to complete the following preparations: 1. You check the correct UNIX users, groups, and authorizations [page 13]. 2. You check the directory structure [page 14]. 3. You run the pre-upgrade script [page 15]. 4. You check the prerequisites for the Oracle Universal Installer [page 16]. 5. You check the SAP System prerequisites [page 17]. 6. If required, you migrate to automatic undo management [page 18]. 7. If required, you stop Statspack reports [page 18]. 8. You check the SYSTEM and SYSAUX tablespace for freespace [page 19]. 9. If required, you check for invalid database objects [page 19]. 10. You install the Oracle Instant Client [page 20].

3.1 Checking the Correct UNIX Users, Groups, and Authorizations You need to check that the ora<dbsid> user has write authorization for the /oracle directory, since the ora<dbsid> user performs the database installation. Procedure

1.

Enter the following commands: touch /oracle/write_test rm /oracle/write_test

If the user ora<dbsid> does not have write authorization, log on to your system with the user root and enter the command: chgrp dba /oracle chmod 775 /oracle

2.

Check if you are able to start an XTERM as the Oracle user since this is the user who starts the OUI. Enter the following command with the user ora<dbsid>: umask 022

Preparation

3.2

Checking the Directory Structure

3.2 Checking the Directory Structure You need to verify the availability and correctness of the following Oracle directories: ØÖ^é5² stage directory ØÖ^é5² Oracle inventory directory ØÖ^é5² Home directory Procedure

1.

Check the Oracle stage directory, usually called /oracle/stage. If this directory does not exist, create it manually. If it already exists it might contain software stages from previous installations or upgrades. 1. For the upgrade to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) create the staging directory /oracle/ stage/102_64. 2. Make sure that you have around 2 GB free space for the SAR files. To extract all RDBMS SAR files requires around 5 GB of free space in the staging directory but for this upgrade you only require the SAR file containing the database component. You can find the SAR file in OR110264.SAR for 64-bit platforms or OR110232.SAR for 32-bit platforms. If there is not enough space, you can delete previous stage directories. 3. When the RDBMS CDs have been mounted, use the SAP tool SAPCAR to extract all the RDBMS CDs to /oracle/stage/102_64 as user ora<sid>. For example, the following command extracts a single CD: SAPCAR –xvf OR110264.SAR

After you have finished the extraction of all the RDBMS CDs, the following subdirectories exist under /oracle/stage/102_64: ØÖ^é5² ØÖ^é5² ØÖ^é5² ØÖ^é5² ØÖ^é5²

database client clusterware companion gateways NOTE

4.

14/48

For some platforms Disk1 and Disk2 might be created as subdirectories of database, client, clusterware, companion, and gateways. The gateways subdirectory is not created for the following platforms: ØÖ^é5² Linux on Power ØÖ^é5² HP_UX on Itanium ØÖ^é5² Solaris x86_64 After extraction of the Oracle software to /oracle/stage/102_64 do the following: 1. Rename the original SAP folder by performing one of the following:

Preparation

3.3

Running the Pre-Upgrade Script

™8Ó*è”

mv /oracle/stage/102_64/database/SAP /oracle/stage/102_64/database/ SAP_ORIG

™8Ó*è”

mv /oracle/stage/102_64/database//Disk1/SAP /oracle/stage/102_64/ database//Disk1/SAP_ORIG

2.

3.

Download the file RDBMS_SAP_32.zip (for 32-bit platforms) or RDBMS_SAP_64.zip (for 64bit platforms) attached to SAP Note 819830 and copy it to a temporary location such as /tmp. Extract the zip file by performing one of the following for 64-bit platforms (replace “64” with “32” for 32-bit platforms): ™8Ó*è”

cd /oracle/stage/102_64/database unzip /tmp/RDBMS_SAP_64.zip

™8Ó*è”

cd /oracle/stage/102_64/database/Disk1 unzip /tmp/RDBMS_SAP_64.zip

2.

You now see the directory SAP extracted with the updated version of SAP-specific files. Check the Oracle inventory directory. The Oracle inventory directory maintains the inventory of all Oracle software installed on the system. The path to the Oracle inventory directory is mentioned in the file oraInst.loc, which you can find under /var/opt/oracle or under /etc. One of the entries of oraInst.loc or inventory_location points to the location of the Oracle inventory. When you execute the OUI for the first time on the system, the OUI prompts you for the path to the inventory directory. The default location for the Oracle inventory is $ORACLE_BASE/ oraInventory. NOTE

3.

This applies only to systems where the OUI has been executed for the first time. The OUI automatically creates theoraInst.loc and the inventory directory. You do not need to create these directories manually. Create the empty Oracle home directory before starting the OUI. You need to create the Oracle home directory before you can start the Oracle software installation. The Oracle Home directory is normally /oracle/<DBSID>/102_64.

3.3 Running the Pre-Upgrade Script You run the Oracle pre-upgrade information tool. This tool provides information on the existing preupgrade database. It also suggests any changes that you need to make before you start the upgrade. NOTE

You always execute this script as the ora<dbsid> user connected to the database as sysdba in the Oracle 9i environment.

Checking the Prerequisites for the Oracle Universal Installer

Prerequisites

You are logged on as user ora<dbsid> in the Oracle 9i environment with the database also started up. For more information about how to extract the script from the Oracle 10.2.0.4 patchset software without installing the patchset software, see SAP Note 1237838. Procedure

Execute the following commands: sqlplus /nolog SQL> connect / as sysdba SQL> spool /tmp/pre_upgrade.log SQL> @/oracle/stage/102_64/database/SAP/utlu102i.sql

or: SQL> @/oracle/stage/102_64/database/Disk1/SAP/utlu102i.sql SQL> spool off SQL> exit

Result

You can check the results of the pre-upgrade script by looking at the log file /tmp/pre_upgrade.log. CAUTION

Make the changes listed in the log file, otherwise you might have problems during the upgrade. If the log file from the pre-upgrade script reports stale optimizer statistics for the Oracle 9.2 database, you need to execute the script gather_optimizer_statistics.sql attached to SAP Note 819830. This applies only to the Oracle 9.2 database.

3.4 Checking the Prerequisites for the Oracle Universal Installer You must check the prerequisites for the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI). Procedure

1. 2.

Log on as the Oracle user ora<dbsid>. Execute the following commands: ˙Fµàš† 32-bit platforms: cd /oracle/stage/102_32/database ./runInstaller –executeSysPrereqs

cd /oracle/stage/102_64/database/Disk1 ./runInstaller –executeSysPrereqs

If the OUI complains that the operating system version is not certified or supported, you can ignore this. If OUI reports missing OS patches, you need to apply these before you can continue.

3.5 Checking the SAP System Prerequisites You must check the prerequisites for the SAP system (ABAP) release 6.40 and lower. You need to: 1. Update the database library (dbsl) to the latest patch level 2. Apply a correction to the ABAP system This is necessary to make the SAP system compatible for the Oracle Database 10g release checks. 3. If the SAP kernel uses the Oracle 9.2 client software (this is the case if you use the 640 or EXT kernels), you also need to update the Oracle client software to at least release 9.2.0.7. If you do not update the Oracle 9.2 client software, core dumps in the SAP system after the upgrade to Oracle Database 10g. 4. You need to execute an SQL script that creates a new role on the database. This is necessary due to changes to the Oracle CONNECT role in Oracle 10.2. 5. You must upgrade Java systems to at least Service Pack 13 before you can upgrade to Oracle Database 10g. Procedure

1.

Download the latest version of dbsl (dboraslib.so, dboraslib.sl, or dboraslib.o) for your release from: http://service.sap.com/swdc

2.

Check the level of your Basis support package using this table: SAP Release (SAP_BASIS)

Migrating to Automatic Undo Management

3.

Download the latest version of the Oracle Client software – OCL92064.SAR or OCL92032.SAR – from: http://service.sap.com/swcenter-3pmain

This is described in SAP Note 886783. Make sure that you install the newest version of the Oracle client software on all application servers, including the database server if there is an SAP application running on the database server. NOTE

4.

If you cannot update the client software because there are several other application servers running on the same host, see SAP Note 964783. Execute the SQL script sapconn_role.sql as follows: cp /oracle/stage/102_64/database/SAP/sapconn_role.sql $ORACLE_HOME/dbs

or: cp /oracle/stage/102_64/database/Disk1/SAP/sapconn_role.sql $ORACLE_HOME/dbs cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs sqlplus /nolog @sapconn_role

3.6 Migrating to Automatic Undo Management This step is only relevant if your database still uses manual undo management (rollback tablespace and rollback segments). If your database still uses rollback segments for undo management we strongly recommend you to migrate to automatic undo management before starting the database update to Oracle database 10g. Otherwise you might run into errors. Procedure

1. 2.

Read SAP Note 600141, which is the central note describing automatic undo management. This note also gives you an overview of the concepts involved. Follow the step-by-step instructions in the note to migrate to automatic undo management.

3.7 Stopping Statspack Reports This step deletes the Statspack jobs with DBMS_JOB.REMOVE. Prerequisites

This step is only relevant if the Statspack package has been activated on the database for monitoring purposes. For more information about Statspack, see SAP Note 717484. Procedure

1.

Log on as the user under which the statspack jobs run (usually PERFSTAT):

This displays a list of the jobs that are currently entered under the user PERFSTAT. Delete all jobs with the print job number <jobnr>: SQL> connect PERFSTAT/<pwd> SQL> execute dbms_job.remove( <jobnr> );

3.8 Checking the SYSTEM and SYSAUX Tablespace for Freespace You need to make sure that the SYSTEM and SYSAUX tablespaces have at least 750 MB freespace. This is necessary due to a bug in the Oracle database that can cause the Oracle Database Upgrade Assistant (DBUA) to underestimate the required freespace. NOTE

The SYSAUX tablespace is available only if the source database is already Oracle 10.1. If your source database is Oracle 9.2, there is no SYSAUX tablespace. In this case, you can ignore references to the SYSAUX tablespace in this section. Procedure

Check if the SYSTEM or SYSAUX tablespace have enough freespace. You can check this by executing one of the following commands as the ora<dbsid> user: 4¼Ý˚¡© brspace –f dbshow –c tsinfo –s SYSTEM 4¼Ý˚¡© brspace –f dbshow –c tsinfo –s SYSAUX If the free space is less than 750 MB, use your preferred database administration tool to increase the size by using one of the following options: 4¼Ý˚¡© Setting the AUTOEXTEND option for the existing datafile to ON. 4¼Ý˚¡© Adding an additional datafile. 4¼Ý˚¡© Resizing the existing datafile. NOTE

For systems that use raw devices for the datafiles, the AUTOEXTEND option might not work because of the fixed size of the raw devices. In this case you might need to add another datafile by adding a new volume or partition on the operating system.

3.9 Checking for Invalid Database Objects This optional step lets you check if there are any invalid database objects before the database upgrade to Oracle database 10g starts. After the upgrade it helps you distinguish database objects that have become invalid due to the upgrade process from those that were already invalid to start with.

2.

A list of invalid objects before the upgrade is now generated. Check the list of invalid objects after the upgrade. If any objects in the list from before the upgrade are also in the list of invalid objects after the upgrade, you can be sure that this is not due to the upgrade process. RECOMMENDATION

If possible, delete or compile any invalid objects before the upgrade. CAUTION

If there is a table called PLAN_TABLE either in the SYS or SYSTEM schema, you must drop it with the following commands before starting the database upgrade: SQL> drop table "SYS"."PLAN_TABLE"; SQL> drop table "SYSTEM"."PLAN_TABLE";

3.10 Installing the Oracle Instant Client You have to extract the Oracle Instant Client software. This is necessary if the JDBC driver location [page 41] refers to the Oracle Instant Client directory, rather than to the Oracle home directory. The Instant Client is also needed for BR*TOOLS Release 700, which you install during the post-upgrade phase. Procedure

Install the Oracle Database 10g Instant Client for UNIX as described in SAP Note 819829.

Copy the SQL*Net parameter files from the old location <old_TNS_ADMIN> to <new_TNS_ADMIN>. 3. Edit the new SQL*Net files by adapting all file paths for the new directory. Be sure to adapt the value of ORACLE_HOME in the listener.ora file. If ora<dbsid> has not set the TNS_ADMIN environment variable, Oracle first searches in /etc, in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin for the SQL*Net parameter files. Choose which of the following applies to your installation: Ð Bàcx The SQL*Net parameter files are located in directory /etc: 1. Make a backup copy of the files. 2. Edit the new SQL*Net files by adapting all file paths for the new directory. Be sure to adapt the value of ORACLE_HOME in the listener.ora file. Ð Bàcx The SQL*Net parameter files are located in <old_ORACLE_HOME>/network/admin: 1. Copy the SQL*Net parameter files from <old_ORACLE_HOME> to <new_ORACLE_HOME>. 2. Edit the new SQL*Net files by adapting all file paths for the new directory. Be sure to adapt the value of ORACLE_HOME in the listener.ora file. Since your database is still running in the old environment, do not start the listener with the new listener.ora file at this point.

4.1.8 Backing Up the Oracle Database You must have a complete and usable database backup otherwise you might lose data. We recommend you to back up all your Oracle 9i archive logs before you start the upgrade. The upgrade changes the parameter log_archive_format to 10.2.0. After the upgrade has completed BRARCHIVE cannot back up archive files from before the upgrade (that is, from Oracle 9i or earlier) because of this change to log_archive_format. Procedure

1.

Create a complete database backup and back up any archive logs from Oracle 9i. RECOMMENDATION

Before backing up the archive logs, switch the log files with the following SQL command: alert system switch logfile

2. 3.

Make sure that you do a log file switch for all online redo log files. Check that the backup is usable. If for any reason you have problems during the upgrade you must be able to restore the database from this backup. If you want to separate the alert log file of Oracle 9i from that of Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2), you can move the alert log file to a different name with the following command:

Database Structure Upgrade

2.

The Databases screen lets you select the database to be upgraded. Select the correct database and choose Next. The DBUA now analyzes the database to be upgraded, performs pre-upgrade checks, and issues warnings if necessary. You can ignore warnings about the following: R83 ´Ă‚ Stale optimizer statistics R83 ´Ă‚ Changes to the Oracle CONNECT role You need to analyze and act on other warnings. RECOMMENDATION

We recommend you to resolve warnings other than those listed above. Otherwise you might later have problems during the actual upgrade.

3.

The SYSAUX Tablespaces screen lets you modify the attributes for the SYSAUX tablespace, which is added automatically to all new Oracle Database 10g databases. Make the following entries: R83 ´Ă‚ Datafile Path: $SAPDATA_HOME/sapdata1/sysaux_1/sysaux.data1 NOTE

4.

5.

Make sure that you substitute the value for $SAPDATA_HOME with the full path name – for example, /oracle/<DBSID> – in the above command. You cannot use environment variables directly in the input field since the DBUA cannot evaluate SAP-specific environment variables. R83 ´Ă‚ Select Reuse Existing File Name. R83 ´Ă‚ Enter 1000 MB in Size. R83 ´Ă‚ Select AUTOEXTEND ON. R83 ´Ă‚ Enter 100 MB in Increment. R83 ´Ă‚ Enter 2000 MB in Maximum Size. The Recompiling Invalid Objects screen lets you choose whether the DBUA has to automatically recompile all PL/SQL modules after the upgrade. If the database server has multiple CPUs, the DBUA automatically proposes the number of parallel processes to be used for the recompilation. The turn off archiving option means that archiving is switched off for the duration of the upgrade so that the upgrade finishes faster. Accept the default values, select Recompile invalid objects after the upgrade, turn off archiving for the duration of the upgrade, and choose Next. The Backup screen lets you specify whether you want the DBUA to back up the database. Since you have already backed up the database, select I have already backed up my database and choose Next. The Management Options screen lets you set up the database so that it can be managed with the Enterprise Manager.

Checking the Upgraded Database

5.2 Checking the Upgraded Database You need to check the upgraded database. Procedure

1.

Check that the database is now running with Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) software in an Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) environment by entering the following commands: 1. Log on to the database as the ora<sid> user. 2. Enter the following command to start SQLPLUS: sqlplus / as sysdba

3.

Enter the following SQL commands: 1. Enter the following command to determine the release of the installed software: SQL> select version from V$INSTANCE; EXAMPLE

This is an example of the output from this command: VERSION 10.2.0.2.0

2.

Enter the following command to determine the release and status of the installed database components: SQL> select comp_id, version, status from dba_registry; EXAMPLE

This is an example of the output from this command: COMP ID VERSION STATUS CATALOG 10.2.0.2.0 VALID CATPROC 10.2.0.2.0 VALID

2.

3.

Make sure that the command returns the status VALID. 3. Check that the version returned in the previous two commands is identical. Check that the value for the version returned from the above command is the same level as the installed patchset. For example, if the installed patchset is Oracle 10.2.0.2, the above command should also report the version for the CATALOG and CATPROC components as 10.2.0.2. After the upgrade check that the following document is created: $ORACLE_HOME/assistants/dbua/doc/help/DefaultBehaviorChangesin10g.html NOTE

You need to check this document carefully because it contains information on important changes in the default behavior of the new Oracle 10.2 database.

5.3

Updating BR*Tools RECOMMENDATION

If the old database used an initialization file init<DBSID>.ora, theDBUA automatically creates an spfile. We recommend that you continue to use the spfile. Do not switch back to the initialization file after the upgrade.

5.3 Updating BR*Tools You update BR*Tools to the latest release, with the latest patch level. After extracting the latest BR*Tools release you need to update the SAPDBA role using the script sapdba_role.sql. This is essential so that the new release of BR*Tools works correctly. The script is automatically extracted when you extract BR*Tools. Procedure

1.

Download the most current version of the BR*Tools from SAP Service Marketplace at: http://service.sap.com/swdc

2.

After you have extracted the newest BR*Tools, copy the BR*Tools configuration files init<DBSID>.sap and init<DBSID>.utl from the old $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory to the new one: cd <old $ORACLE_HOME>/dbs cp init<DBSID>.sap $ORACLE_HOME/dbs cp init<DBSID>.utl $ORACLE_HOME/dbs init<DBSID>.utl is only available if you are using a third-party backup solution. NOTE init<DBSID>.dba is no longer needed because BR*Tools release 6.40 SAPDBA is no longer

5.4 Backing Up the Database You need to back up your upgraded Oracle Database 10g database. CAUTION

You risk losing data if you do not back up your database. Procedure

Perform a full database backup.

5.5 Performing Post-Upgrade Tasks You need to perform certain post-upgrade tasks. Procedure

1.

Change database compatibility by executing the following SQL command as the ora<dbsid> user: SQL> alter system set compatible='10.2.0' scope = spfile;

2. 3.

Restart the Oracle database. Deactivate the Oracle recycle bin by executing the following SQL command as the ora<dbsid> user: SQL> purge dba_recyclebin; SQL> alter system set recyclebin = 'off' scope = spfile;

4.

For more information, see SAP Note 838982. Gather Oracle optimizer statistics as follows: 1. Execute the following commands as the ora<dbsid> user: brconnect -u / -c -f stats -t system_stats brconnect -u / -c -f stats -t oradict_stats

2.

Execute the following commands with SQLPlus: SQL> exec dbms_scheduler.disable('GATHER_STATS_JOB'); SQL> exec dbms_scheduler.disable('ORACLE_OCM.MGMT_CONFIG_JOB'); SQL> exec dbms_scheduler.disable('ORACLE_OCM.MGMT_STATS_CONFIG_JOB');

5.

Identify the objects that are invalid after the upgrade as follows: 1. Execute the following commands as the ora<dbsid> user: SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql; SQL> spool $ORACLE_HOME/cfgtoollogs/invalid_post.log SQL> select count(*) from dba_objects where status = 'INVALID'; SQL> select substr(owner,1,12) owner, substr(object_name,1,30) object, substr (object_type,1,30) type, status from dba_objects where status <>'VALID' order by owner; SQL> spool off;

2.

The entry for a system with <DBSID> equal to C11 is as follows: C11:/oracle/C11/102_64:N. If the entry does not exist, insert it using a text editor.

5.8 Starting the Listener Process You start the listener process. Prerequisites

Make sure that you have copied the SQL*Net configuration files from the old Oracle installation to the location of the Oracle Datbase 10g software, as described in Copying and Adapting the SQL*Net Files [page 27]. Procedure

1.

Start the listener: lsnrctl start

2.

Check that you can remotely connect to the database through the listener: sqlplus SAP<SAPSCHEMA_ID>/pwd@SID

5.9 Renaming the Old $ORACLE_HOME/bin Directory Once the database is running correctly, you need to rename the bin directory from the old $ORACLE_HOME to prevent accidental usage of the old binaries. Procedure

Rename the old Oracle home directory bin with the following command: mv <old_oracle_home>/bin <old_oracle_home>/bin-old CAUTION

Do not rename the entire old_oracle_home in case you have SAP systems (SAP kernel release 6.40 and lower) running on the database server. This is because the SAP system running on the database server might still use the Oracle 9i client software.

5.15 Disabling Database User Locking Mechanism For Failed Logins When upgrading an Oracle database to Oracle version 10g, user locking is automatically activated so that, if you repeatedly enter invalid login information, the user is locked. By default, ten invalid login attempts are allowed before the user is locked. Since old SAP systems first try to log in with a standard user (sapr3) and password, this locking mechanism might lock the user when starting the system. For more information, see SAP Note 951167. Procedure

To deactivate user locking after invalid logon attempts, enter the following information in sqlplus: sqlplus /nolog sql>connect / as sysdba sql>ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS UNLIMITED; sql>exit

5.16 Checking the National Character Set If your database still runs with a national character set (NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET) different from UTF8, you need to change it to UTF8. You can expect to experience severe problems during SAP upgrades if the database national character set is not set to UTF8. If you already use a Java system or plan to use one in the future, the national character set must be UTF8.
