Attention These notes apply to UNIX, Linux, and Windows platforms. However, you may need to modify some instructions slightly depending on your platform. For example, these notes typically use UNIX/Linux syntax when specifying a directory, so Windows users will need to substitute the appropriate syntax when accessing that directory. Attention You can obtain the 10.2.0.5 patch set from Patch 8202632 on My Oracle Support.

Section 1: Upgrading an 11i Database to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0)

Follow the instructions in this section if you have an Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i system using Oracle8i Release 3 (8.1.7), Oracle9i Release 1 (9.0.1), Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0), or Oracle 10g Release 1 (10.1.0), and you wish to upgrade the database server and instance to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0).

Before the Database Installation:

1. Verify software versions The following software component versions must exist in your environment. Software Oracle Minimum Version Tier Database Details Read the "Determine the Upgrade Path to the

Database Enterprise Edition

New Oracle Database 10g Release" subsection in Chapter 2 of the Oracle supported from your current release. Apply

instructions. On Windows, run the DirectX diagnostics tool DxDiag.exe in c:\windows\system32. If you receive a generic error opening the display adapter information, use the Windows update tool to upgrade to DirectX 9.0b.

Attention Apply the interoperability patch and the necessary pre-requisite patches before performing the steps in the AutoConfig document. This ensures that you have the right code level when running AutoConfig. 3. Migrate to Oracle Portal 10g (conditional) Oracle Portal 3.0.9 is not certified to run on Oracle Database 10g. If you plan to continue using Oracle Portal with Oracle E-Business Suite 11i, then the existing Oracle Portal functionality must be migrated to Oracle Portal 10g to ensure compatibility with Oracle Database 10g. Read and follow instructions in Installing Oracle Applications Server 10g with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i on My Oracle Support. You may remove Oracle Portal 3.0.9 and any dependencies from Oracle EBusiness Suite by performing the steps in Remove Oracle Portal 3.0.9 from E-

Business Suite Release 11i on My Oracle Support. Oracle Portal 3.0.9 should be

removed only after the upgrade to Oracle Portal 10g, in order to ensure that any custom Portal data is successfully migrated. 4. Update application tier context file with new database listener port number (conditional) The new 10.2.0 Oracle home uses its own database listener for the database instance, replacing the current database listener. Use the Context Editor to update the following variables in the Applications context file on each application tier server node to reflect the 10.2.0 configuration: Variable Name s_dbhost s_dbdomain s_db_serv_sid s_dbport s_apps_jdbc_connect_descriptor Value New database hostname New database domain name New database SID New database listener port NULL

5. See Using AutoConfig to Manage System Configurations with Oracle Applications 11i on My Oracle Support for instructions on how to update and run the Context Editor. Attention Do not run AutoConfig on the application tier once the context file has been updated. Doing so will cut off the entire application tier from the database instance until after the upgrade is complete. You will be instructed to run AutoConfig on the application tier to configure the system for the new port number once the upgrade is finished and the new database listener is in use. 6. Export OLAP analytical workspaces (conditional) If your database server node is on the 32-bit Solaris platform, perform detailed steps 1 to 4 of Upgrading OLAP from 32 to 64 bits on My Oracle Support.

Database Installation:
5. Prepare to create the 10.2.0 Oracle home The 10.2.0 Oracle home must be installed on the database server node in a different directory than the current Oracle home. Read Chapters 1 and 2 of the Oracle Database Installation Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2) for your platform. Also read Chapter 1 and the "System Considerations and Requirements" section of Chapter 3 of the Oracle Database Upgrade Guide

10g Release 2 (10.2). Make sure you thoroughly understand the installation and
upgrade processes. Perform any step that is relevant for your environment. 6. Install the base 10.2.0 software Log in to the database server node as the owner of the Oracle RDBMS file system and database instance. Ensure that environment settings, such as ORACLE_HOME, are set for the new Oracle home you are about to create, and not for any existing Oracle homes on the database server node. Perform all the steps in Chapter 3 of the Oracle Database Installation Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2) for your platform. In the Installation Types window, use the Product Languages button to select any languages other than American English that are used by your Applications database instance. Choose the Enterprise Edition installation type. In the subsequent windows, select the options not to upgrade an existing database and to install the database software only. Attention You may ignore the errors when running utlu102i.sql as documented in 370825.1. 7. Install Oracle Database 10g Products from the 10g Companion CD (mandatory) On the database server node, as the owner of the Oracle RDBMS file system and database instance, perform the tasks in section 3.5, "Installing Oracle Database 10g Products" in the Oracle Database Companion CD Installation Guide for your platform. Do not perform the tasks in the "Preparing Oracle Workflow Server for the Oracle Workflow Middle Tier Installation" section. In the Installation Types window, use the Product Languages button to select any languages other than American English that are used by your Applications database instance. 8. Perform 10.2.0.5 patch set pre-installation tasks On the database server node, as the owner of the Oracle 10g file system and database instance, unzip and extract the 10.2.0.5 patch set file for your platform. Read the patch set notes (usually README.html). Make sure you thoroughly understand the upgrade and patch set installation process before you begin. Check My Oracle Support or contact Oracle Support Services to determine any known issues with the patch set and its interoperability with Oracle E-Business Suite. Perform the tasks in the "Preinstallation Tasks" section of the patch set notes (if they apply to your system).

9. Perform 10.2.0.5 patch set installation tasks On the database server node, as the owner of the Oracle RDBMS file system and database instance, perform the tasks in the "Installing the Oracle Database 10g Patch Set Interactively" section of the patch set notes. Make sure that: o The ORACLE_HOME environment variable points to the new 10.2.0 Oracle home. o The PATH environment variable includes $ORACLE_HOME/bin and the directory where the new perl executable is located (usually $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin). o The LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable includes $ORACLE_HOME/lib. o The PERL5LIB environment variable points to the directories where the new perl libraries are located (usually $ORACLE_HOME/perl/lib/[perl version] and $ORACLE_HOME/perl/lib/site_perl/[perl version]) o You use the runInstaller (UNIX/Linux) or the setup.exe executable (Windows) provided in the patch set to run OUI. 10. Create nls/data/9idata directory On the database server node, as the owner of the Oracle RDBMS file system and database instance, run the $ORACLE_HOME/nls/data/old/cr9idata.pl script to create the $ORACLE_HOME/nls/data/9idata directory. After creating the directory, make sure that the ORA_NLS10 environment variable is set to the full path of the 9idata directory whenever you enable the 10g Oracle home. Attention Check to make sure the $ORACLE_HOME/nls/data/9idata directory is created and is non-empty. 11. Apply additional 10.2.0.5 RDBMS patches Apply the following patches: For all UNIX/Linux platforms, apply RDBMS Patch 9726739. For all Windows platforms, apply Windows patch 1 - Patch 10058290 (32-bit), Patch 10099855 (64-bit) or a later Windows patch. Attention While not mandatory for the interoperability of Oracle E-Business Suite with the Oracle Database, customers may choose to apply Database Patch Set Updates (PSU) on their Oracle E-Business Suite Database. If so, please see Document 1147107.1 ('Database Patch Set Update Overlay Patches Required for Use with PSUs and Oracle E-

Business Suite') on My Oracle Support for more information.

Database Upgrade:
12. Shut down Applications server processes and database listener On each application tier server node, shut down all server processes or services. On the database tier server node, shut down the Oracle Net or Net8 database listener in the old Oracle home. Note The Applications will be unavailable to users until all remaining tasks in this section are completed. 13. Prepare to upgrade Read Chapter 2 of Oracle Database Upgrade Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2). Take note of the section pertaining to the Database Upgrade Assistant (DBUA). Attention If event="38004 trace name context forever, level 1" is defined in either the init[SID].ora initialization parameter file or the spfile[SID].ora server parameter file, remove it. Attention (Windows only) Make sure that the Services applet window is closed on the database server node. You cannot remove the current database instance service during the upgrade if this window is open. Attention Unset the TNS_ADMIN environment variable. 16. Upgrade the database instance The instructions for the database upgrade are outlined in Oracle Database Upgrade Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2) Chapters 3 and 4. Perform the steps from the "Run the Pre-Upgrade Information Tool" section to the "Upgrade the Database Using the Database Upgrade Assistant" section of chapter 3. We recommend that you use 500 MB as the SYSAUX tablespace size. Set autoextend on for the SYSAUX tablespace. If you plan to change the PL/SQL compilation mode, disable the compilation of objects.

17. Modify initialization parameters Use the following sections in document 216205.1, Database Initialization Parameters (init.ora settings) in Oracle Applications Release 11i on My Oracle Support as a guideline: o Common database initialization parameters o Release-specific database initialization parameters for 10gR2 o Database initialization parameter sizing If System Managed Undo (SMU) is disabled in your database instance, ignore the initialization parameters that begin with "undo_". You will be instructed to configure them in the next step. If native compilation of PL/SQL code is disabled in your database instance, ignore the initialization parameters that pertain to the native compilation of PL/SQL code. Note There are many ways to generate the parameter file (for example, copying and updating an old init.ora parameter file). You are not confined to using the parameter files generated by the database upgrade assistant. 18. Additional database configuration Ensure that System Managed Undo (SMU) is enabled in the database instance, and that the temporary tablespace is properly defined. In My Oracle Support document 216205.1, follow the instructions in these sections: o Release-specific database initialization parameters for 10gR2 o Enabling System Managed Undo (SMU) o Temporary Tablespace Setup 19. Perform 10.2.0.5 patch set post-installation tasks Review the "Postinstallation Tasks" section of the patch set notes. Perform the steps that are relevant for your database. Note Skip the sections "Upgrading Earlier Oracle Database to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.5)", "Enabling Oracle Database Vault", and "Upgrading Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.x to Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.5" of the patch set notes. 20. Install Oracle Data Mining and OLAP Note Restricted use licences for Oracle Data Mining and OLAP are included

with Oracle Database Enterprise Edition for the purposes of upgrading existing E-Business Suite databases. 21. Verify that Oracle Data Mining and OLAP are installed in your database by using SQL*Plus to connect to the database as SYSDBA and running the following command:
22. SQL> connect / as sysdba; 23. SQL> select comp_id from dba_registry where comp_id in ('ODM', 'AMD', 'EXF');

24. If the query does not return ODM, then you do not have Oracle Data Mining installed. To install Data Mining, use SQL*Plus to connect to the database as SYSDBA and run the following command:
25. SQL> connect / as sysdba; 26. SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/dminst.sql SYSAUX TEMP

27. If the query does not return EXF, then you do not have Oracle Expression Filter installed. It is required by OLAP. To install Expression Filter, use SQL*Plus to connect to the database as SYSDBA and run the following commands:
28. SQL> connect / as sysdba; 29. SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catexf.sql

30. If the query does not return AMD, then you do not have OLAP installed. To install OLAP, use SQL*Plus to connect to the database as SYSDBA and run the following commands:
31. SQL> connect / as sysdba; 32. SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/olap/admin/olap.sql SYSAUX TEMP

33. Natively compile PL/SQL code (optional) If you are not on the Windows Itanium platform, you can choose to run Oracle E-Business Suite 11i PL/SQL database objects in natively compiled mode with Oracle Database 10g. See the "Compiling PL/SQL Code for Native Execution" section of Chapter 11 of Oracle Database PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference 10g Release 2 (10.2). When modifying the initialization parameters pertaining to the PL/SQL native compilation, use document 216205.1, on My Oracle Support as a guideline. You can set the plsql_native_library_subdir_count parameter as described in the PL/SQL user's guide. Create the associated subdirectories for the given plsql_native_library_dir and plsql_native_library_subdir_count parameters.

After the Database Upgrade:

21. Fix Korean lexers Use SQL*Plus to connect to the database as SYSDBA, and run drkorean.sql using the following command:
22. $ sqlplus "/ as sysdba" @$ORACLE_HOME/ctx/sample/script/drkorean.sql

23. Import OLAP analytical workspaces (conditional) If your database server node was upgraded from the 32-bit Solaris platform,

perform detailed steps 7 and 8 of Upgrading OLAP from 32 to 64 bits on My Oracle Support. 24. Start the new database listener (conditional) If the Oracle Net listener for the database instance in the new Oracle home has not been started, you must start it now. Since AutoConfig has not yet been implemented, start the listener with the lsnrctl executable (UNIX/Linux) or Services (Windows). See the Oracle Database Net Services Administrator's Guide, 10g Release 2 (10.2) for more information. Attention Set the TNS_ADMIN environment variable to the directory where you created your listener.ora and tnsnames.ora files. 25. Run adgrants.sql (conditional) Copy $APPL_TOP/admin/adgrants.sql (adgrants_nt.sql for Windows) from the administration server node to the database server node. Use SQL*Plus to connect to the database as SYSDBA and run the script using the following command:
26. $ sqlplus "/ as sysdba" @adgrants.sql (or adgrants_nt.sql) 27. [APPS schema name]

Note Verify the usage of adgrants.sql in the adgrants.sql script. Older versions of adgrants.sql require the APPLSYS schema name parameter to be passed instead of APPS. 28. Grant create procedure privilege on CTXSYS Copy $AD_TOP/patch/115/sql/adctxprv.sql from the administration server node to the database server node. If you are upgrading to R12, use the R12 version of the file. Use SQL*Plus to connect to the database as APPS and run the script using the following command:
29. $ sqlplus apps/[APPS password] @adctxprv.sql \ 30. [SYSTEM password] CTXSYS

31. Deregister the previous database server (conditional) If you plan to change the database port, host, SID, or database name parameter on the database server, you must also update AutoConfig on the database tier and deregister the previous database server node. Use SQL*Plus to connect to the database as APPS and run the following command:
$ sqlplus apps/[APPS password] SQL> exec fnd_conc_clone.setup_clean;

32. Implement and run AutoConfig Implement and run AutoConfig in the new Oracle home on the database server

node. If the database listener of the new Oracle home is defined differently than the old Oracle home, you must also run AutoConfig on each application tier server node to update the system with the new listener. See Using AutoConfig to Manage System Configurations with Oracle Applications 11i on My Oracle Support for instructions on how to implement and run AutoConfig. Shut down all processes, including the database and the listener, and restart them to load the new environment settings. 33. Gather statistics for SYS schema Copy $APPL_TOP/admin/adstats.sql from the administration server node to the database server node. If you are upgrading to R12, use the R12 version of the file. Note that adstats.sql has to be run in restricted mode. Use SQL*Plus to connect to the database as SYSDBA and use the following commands enable restricted mode, run adstats.sql, and disable restricted mode:
34. 35. 36. 37. 38. $ sqlplus "/ as sysdba" SQL> alter system enable restricted session; SQL> @adstats.sql SQL> alter system disable restricted session; SQL> exit;

Note Make sure that you have at least 1.5 GB of free default temporary tablespace. 39. Re-create custom database links (conditional) If the Oracle Net listener in the 10.2.0 Oracle home is defined differently than the one used by the old Oracle home, you must re-create any custom selfreferential database links that exist in the Applications database instance. To check for the existence of database links, use SQL*Plus on the database server node to connect to the Applications database instance as APPS and run the following query:
40. $ sqlplus apps/[apps password] 41. SQL> select db_link from dba_db_links;

The EDW_APPS_TO_WH and APPS_TO_APPS database links, if they exist, should have been updated with the new port number by AutoConfig in the previous step. If you have custom self-referential database links in the database instance, use the following commands to drop and re-create them:
$ sqlplus apps/[apps password] SQL> drop database link [custom database link]; SQL> create database link [custom database link] connect to

[user] identified by [password] using '(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=[hostname]) (PORT=[port number]))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=[ORACLE_SID])))';

where [custom database link], [user], [password], [hostname], [port number], and [ORACLE_SID] reflect the new Oracle Net listener for the database instance. 42. Re-create grants and synonyms Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) contains new functionality for grants and synonyms compared to previous database releases. As a result, you must recreate the grants and synonyms in the APPS schema. On the administration server node, as the owner of the Applications file system, run AD Administration and select the "Recreate grants and synonyms for APPS schema" task from the Maintain Applications Database Objects menu. If MRC is implemented in your Applications system, then run the "Maintain Multiple Reporting Currencies schema" task to re-create MRC triggers in the Apps schema. 43. Apply Oracle Receivables patch Apply Oracle Receivables Patch 5753621. 44. Restart Applications server processes (conditional) Restart all the Application tier server processes that you shut down previously. Remember that the Oracle Net listener for the database instance, as well as the database instance itself, need to be started in the 10.2 Oracle home. Users may return to the system.
