Minimal Downtime Cross Platform Migration and Database Upgrade This note describes the procedure used to perform a minimal downtime platform migration from Windows to Linux as well as a database upgrade from Oracle 11.2.0.4 to Oracle 12c (12.1.0.2).

We create a Data Guard physical standby database using the DUPLICATE FROM ACTIVE DATABASE feature, followed by a switchover and then we activate the standby and make it a primary database. Finally we upgrade the database to 12c using the catctl.pl perl utility with the parallel upgrade option.

By using Data Guard and the 12c command line parallel upgrade utility the entire operation has been performed with database outage of less than 30 minutes.

This example uses a Data Guard MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE configuration, but in a production environment it is recommended to use a MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY configuration which will require the SYNC Redo Log transport attributes and creation of standby redo log files as well.

This is the environment

Site A : Windows 64 bit Oracle database 11.2.0.4 (testdb)

Site B: OEL 6.3 Oracle database 12.1.0.2 (testdb12)

Site A: This is the database file layout on Windows

On Site B these will be the location for the data files

PART 1 - Data Guard Configuration

Site B: Add a static entry in the listener.ora

Site B: Reload the listener

Site B: Add entry to the /etc/oratab file for the testdb12 database

Site B : Create the password file – use the same SYS password as the source database

[oracle@LINT0003 admin]$ . oraenvORACLE_SID = [testdb] ? testdb12The Oracle base remains unchanged with value /u01/app/oracle

Copy init.ora from Windows (Site A) to Linux (Site B) and make changes as appropriate

Create the required directories on Site B for the data files, control files, redo log files , archive log files, diagnostic destination, audit file destination etc

The following changes to the init.ora were made on Site B in this case

*.audit_file_dest='/u01/app/oracle/admin/testdb12/adump'

*.control_files='/u01/app/oracle/oradata/testdb12/control01.ctl','/u01/app/oracle/oradata/testdb12/control02.ctl'

*.db_unique_name='testdb12'

*.db_recovery_file_dest='/u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area'

*.diagnostic_dest='/u01/app/oracle'

*.log_file_name_convert='G:\ORADATA\TESTDB\','/u01/app/oracle/oradata/testdb12/'

*.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES, ALL_ROLES) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=testdb12'

*.fal_server='testdb'

*.fal_client='testdb12'

On both Site A and Site B add the following entries to the tnsnames.ora file

TESTDB12 = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = LINT0003.apac.ent.net)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = testdb12) ) )

******************************************************************************************************************************************** [Pre-Upgrade Checks]**********************************************************************WARNING: --> Enterprise Manager Database Control repository found in the database

In Oracle Database 12c, Database Control is removed during the upgrade. To save time during the Upgrade, this action can be done prior to upgrading using the following steps after copying rdbms/admin/emremove.sql from the new Oracle home - Stop EM Database Control: $> emctl stop dbconsole

- Connect to the Database using the SYS account AS SYSDBA:

SET ECHO ON; SET SERVEROUTPUT ON; @emremove.sql Without the set echo and serveroutput commands you will not be able to follow the progress of the script.

WARNING: --> Database contains INVALID objects prior to upgrade

The list of invalid SYS/SYSTEM objects was written to registry$sys_inv_objs. The list of non-SYS/SYSTEM objects was written to registry$nonsys_inv_objs unless there were over 5000.

Use utluiobj.sql after the upgrade to identify any new invalid objects due to the upgrade.

INFORMATION: --> Older Timezone in use

Database is using a time zone file older than version 18. After the upgrade, it is recommended that DBMS_DST package be used to upgrade the 11.2.0.4.0 database time zone version to the latest version which comes with the new release. Please refer to My Oracle Support note number 977512.1 for details.

ERROR: --> RECYCLE_BIN not empty. Your recycle bin contains 98 object(s). It is REQUIRED that the recycle bin is empty prior to upgrading. Immediately before performing the upgrade, execute the following command: EXECUTE dbms_preup.purge_recyclebin_fixup;

INFORMATION: --> Oracle Application Express (APEX) can be manually upgraded prior to database upgrade

APEX is currently at version 4.2.1.00.08 and will need to be upgraded to APEX version 4.2.5 in the new release. Note 1: To reduce database upgrade time, APEX can be manually upgraded outside of and prior to database upgrade. Note 2: See MOS Note 1088970.1 for information on APEX installation upgrades.

WARNING: --> RESOURCE_LIMIT default has changed to TRUE starting with 12.1.0.2

Resource limits defined for users via database profiles may not be currently enforced because RESOURCE_LIMIT init parameter in this 11.2.0.4.0 database is shown to be defaulted to FALSE. o RESOURCE_LIMIT in 12.1.0.1 release and earlier is FALSE by default but is TRUE starting with 12.1.0.2. o To continue having these resource limits disabled for users after database upgrade, set RESOURCE_LIMIT to FALSE. o For example, to change parameter file: update PFILE or use "ALTER SYSTEM SET RESOURCE_LIMIT=FALSE SCOPE=SPFILE". Note that the update will not take effect until next database startup.

After your database is upgraded and open in normal mode you must runrdbms/admin/catuppst.sql which executes several required tasks and completesthe upgrade process.

You should follow that with the execution of rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql, and acomparison of invalid objects before and after the upgrade usingrdbms/admin/utluiobj.sql
