Oracle Bug 5874989: Data pump will cause data corruption
Workaround Applying patch 5874989
Upgrade to Oracle 10.2.0.4
See Metalink 468259.1 for more details
Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs
Oracle Bug 5875568: Data pump import will cause ORA-6502 to occur
Workaround Applying patch 5875568

Oracle Bug 5523375: Data pump will not export disabled primary keys.
Workaround Enable all your primary keys on the source database
before exporting.
See Metalink 5523375.8 for more details
Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs
Oracle Bug 5472417: EXPDP on RAC will fail if set PARALLEL more than 1 ORA-39014: One or more workers have prematurely exited
ORA-39029:worker 2 with process name “DW005” prematurely terminated
Workaround Use Export DataPump job with PARALLEL=1 (default)
Run Export DataPump job When only one instance is started in RAC
Apply the one-off patch available ( Patch 5472417 )
Note: All directires has to be accessable from all the nodes, in other word, all
the export directories have to be on shared storage
Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs
Oracle Bug 4886367: If a database was created with
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=CHAR, then the database export will get an error message. Oracle patching also gets the error.
Workaround Set NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=BYTE before creating
a database, and reset it to CHAR after the database is created.
See Metalink 144808.1 for more details
Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs
Oracle Bug: No number specified Alter system set NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=CHAR
scope=both will not take effect until database reboot, even though the scope says both and the command did not return any error
Workaround Reboot the database after issuing the command
Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs
Create banner database in the following steps: Create database with
1. NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=Bytes
2. NLS_CHARACTERSET=AL32UTF8
3. NLS_NCHAR_CHACTERSET=AL16UTF16
After database created
1. Alter system set NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=Char
2. Bounce database
3. Start your import
Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs
Oracle Bug 3026420: Oracle export/import utility will preserve the length
semantics of the original data
Workaround Precreate all your tables which the right length
semantics before importing your data Avoiding using export/import utility, using expdp/impdp
instead
Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs
The following grants got lost during the importing of source data: grant execute on dbms_pipe to baninst1; grant execute on dbms_flashback to baninst1; grant execute on dbms_lock to baninst1; grant select on dba_policies to saturn; grant execute on dbms_crysp to bansecr;
What grants/how many grants need to be applied depends on your system and modules
Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs
If you use OMF (Oracle managed datafiles), all tablespaces have to be created in Banner 8 database before any import can occur
Watch out for your NLS_LANG settings
Watch out for your Sql loader character set
Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs
After database character set change, your application using chr() function will fail
Name of database are limited to 8 bytes
Name of database links limited to 128 bytes
Password can only be single bytes character

problems to get multi bytes data across db link Insert into aw_master_stmts values (‘alter session
