Overview
This course is designed to introduce you to the new features of Oracle Database 11g that are
applicable to the work usually performed by database administrators and related personnel.
The course does not attempt to provide every detail about a feature or cover aspects of a
feature that were available in previous releases (except when defining the context for a new
feature or comparing past behavior with current behavior). Consequently, the course is most
useful to you if you have already administered other versions of Oracle databases, particularly
Oracle Database 10g. Even with this background, you should not expect to be able to
implement all of the features discussed in the course without supplemental reading, especially
the Oracle Database 11g documentation.
The course consists of instructor-led lessons and demonstrations, plus many hands-on
practices that allow you to see for yourself how certain new features behave. As with the
course content in general, these practices are designed to introduce you to the fundamental
aspects of a feature. They are not intended to test your knowledge of unfamiliar syntax or to
provide an opportunity for you to examine every nuance of a new feature. The length of this
course precludes such activity. Consequently, you are strongly encouraged to use the provided
scripts to complete the practices rather than struggle with unfamiliar syntax.

Oracle Database 11g Installation Changes
• Minor modifications to the install flow. New screens for:

– Turning off secure configuration in the seed database
– Setting the out-of-box memory target
– Specifying the Database Character set
– Modifications to OS authentication to support SYSASM
• Addition of new products to the install
– SQL Developer
– Movement of APEX from companion CD to main CD
– Warehouse Builder (server-side pieces)
– Oracle Configuration Management (OCM)
– New Transparent Gateways

• Move to JDK/JRE 1.5

• Removal of certain products and features from the
installation:
– OEM Java Console
– Raw storage support for data files (installer only)
– Oracle Data Mining Scoring Engine
– Oracle Workflow
– iSQL*Plus
• Addition of new pre-requisite checks (largely feedback
from SAP and various other bugs)
• Changes to the default file permissions

The following is a list of components that were part of Oracle Database 10g release 2 (10.2), and
are not available for installation with Oracle Database 11g:
iSQL*Plus
Oracle Workflow
Oracle Data Mining Scoring Engine
Oracle Enterprise Manager Java console

• Minor changes to the clusterware installation

– Support for block devices for storage of OCR and Voting
Disks
– Ship “fix-up” scripts with the product
• Support for upgrade of XE databases directly to 11g
• Better conformance to OFA in the installation
– Prompt for ORACLE_BASE explicitly
– Warnings in the alert log when ORACLE_BASE isn’t set

In Oracle Database 11g, Oracle Universal Installer prompts you to specify the Oracle base. The
Oracle base you provide during the installation gets logged in the local inventory. You can share
this Oracle base across all of the Oracle homes you create on the system. Oracle recommends that
you share an Oracle base for all of the Oracle homes created by a user. Each Oracle home has a
corresponding Oracle base.
Oracle Universal Installer has a list box where you can edit or select the Oracle base. The installer
derives the default Oracle home from the Oracle base location you provide in the list box.
However, you can change the default Oracle home by editing the location.
The following are the changes made in Oracle Database 11g with respect to Oracle base to make
it Optimal Flexible Architecture compliant:
ORACLE_BASE is a recommended environment variable. However, this variable will be made
mandatory starting in future releases.
By default, Oracle base and Oracle Clusterware home are at the same directory level during the
Oracle Clusterware installation. You should not create Oracle Clusterware home under Oracle
base. Specifying Oracle Clusterware home under Oracle base results in an error.
Oracle recommends that you create the flash recovery area and data file location under Oracle
base.
In Oracle Database 10g, the default locations for the flash recovery area and data file are one level
above the Oracle home directory. However, in Oracle database 11g, Oracle base is the starting
point to set the default locations for flash recovery and data file. However, Oracle recommends

Oracle Database Upgrade Enhancements
• Pre-Upgrade Information Tool

• Simplified Upgrade
• Upgrade performance enhancement
• Post-Upgrade Status Tool
Oracle Database Upgrade Enhancements

Oracle Database 11g release 1 (11.1) continues to make improvements to simplify manual
upgrades, upgrades performed using Database Upgrade Assistant (DBUA), and downgrades.
DBUA provides the following enhancements for single-instance databases:
• Support for improvements to the pre-upgrade tool in the areas of space estimation,
initialization parameters, statistics gathering, and new warnings.
• The catupgrd.sql script performs all upgrades and the catdwgrd.sql script performs all
downgrades, for both patch releases and major releases.
• DBUA can automatically take into account multi-CPU systems to perform parallel object
recompilation.
• Errors are now collected as they are generated during the upgrade and displayed by the Post-
Upgrade Status Tool for each component.

Pre-Upgrade Information Tool
• SQL script, utlu111i.sql, analyzes the database to be

upgraded
• Checks for parameter settings that may cause upgrade
to fail and generates warnings
• Utility runs in “old server” & “old database” context
• Provides guidance and warnings based on Oracle
Database 11g Release 1 upgrade requirements
• Supplies information to the DBUA to automatically
perform any required actions
Pre-Upgrade Information Tool

The pre-upgrade information tool analyzes the database to be upgraded. It is a SQL script that
ships with Oracle Database 11g release 1 (11.1), and must be run in the environment of the
database being upgraded. This tool displays warnings about possible upgrade issues with the
database. It also displays information about required initialization parameters for Oracle Database
11g release 1 (11.1).

Pre-Upgrade Analysis
The Pre-Upgrade Information Tool checks for:

• Database version and compatibility
• Redo log size
• Updated initialization parameters (e.g.
shared_pool_size)
• Deprecated and obsolete initialization parameters
• Components in database (JAVAVM, Spatial, etc.)
• Tablespace estimates
– Increase in total size
– Additional allocation for AUTOEXTEND ON
– SYSAUX tablespace

Simplified Upgrade
• Upgrade driven from the contents of the component

registry (DBA_REGISTRY view)
• Single top-level script, catupgrd.sql, upgrades all
components in the database using the information in
the DBA_REGISTRY view
• Supports re-run of catupgrd.sql, if necessary
Simplified Upgrade

Startup Upgrade
STARTUP UPGRADE mode will suppress normal upgrade

errors:
• Previously, STARTUP MIGRATE in Oracle Database 9i
R2
• Only real errors are spooled
• Automatically handles setting system parameters that
can otherwise cause problems during upgrade
– Turns off job queues
– Disables system triggers
– Allows AS SYSDBA connections only
1 - 10 Copyright © 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Startup Upgrade
STARTUP UPGRADE enables you to open a database based on an earlier Oracle Database
release. It also restricts logons to AS SYSDBA sessions, disables system triggers, and performs
additional operations that prepare the environment for the upgrade (some of which are listed on
the slide).

Upgrade Performance Enhancement
Parallel recompilation of invalid PL/SQL database objects

on multiprocessor CPUs:
• Utlrp.sql can now exploit multiple CPUs to speed up
the time required to recompile any stored PL/SQL and
Java code.
Upgrade Performance Enhancement

This script is a wrapper based on the UTL_RECOMP package.
UTL_RECOMP provides a more general recompilation interface, including options to recompile
objects in a single schema. Please see the documentation for package UTL_RECOMP for more
details.
By default this script invokes the utlprp.sql script with 0 as the degree of parallelism for
recompilation. This means that UTL_RECOMP will automatically determine the appropriate
level of parallelism based on Oracle parameters cpu_count and parallel_threads_per_cpu. If the
parameter is 1, sequential recompilation is used.

Post-Upgrade Status Tool
Run utlu111s.sql to display the results of the upgrade

• Error logging now provides more information per
component
• Reviews the status of each component and lists the
elapsed time
• Provides information about invalid/incorrect
component upgrades
• Run this tool after the upgrade completes to see errors
and check the status of the components
Post-Upgrade Status Tool

The Post-Upgrade Status Tool provides a summary of the upgrade at the end of the spool log. It
displays the status of the database components in the upgraded database and the time required to
complete each component upgrade. Any errors that occur during the upgrade are listed with each
component and must be addressed.
Run utlu111s.sql to display the results of the upgrade.

Rerun the Upgrade

INVALID 11.1.0.4.0 00:09:24
Total Upgrade Time: 02:08:24
Rerun the Upgrade

The Post-Upgrade Status Tool should report VALID status for all components at the end of the
upgrade. The following list shows and briefly describes other status values that you might see:
As shown on the slide, the report returns INVALID for the Spatial component. This is because of
the ORA-04031 error. In this case, you should fix the problem, then running utlrp.sql might
change the status to VALID without rerunning the entire upgrade. Check the DBA_REGISTRY
view after running utlrp.sql. If that does not fix the problem, or if you see UPGRADING status,
the component upgrade did not complete. Resolve the problem and rerun catupgrd.sql after you
shutdown immediate followed by a startup upgrade.

Upgrade Process

Prepare to Upgrade
1. Become familiar with the features of the New Oracle

Database 11g Release 1
2. Determine the upgrade path
3. Choose an upgrade method
4. Choose an OFA compliant Oracle Home directory
5. Prepare a backup and recovery strategy
6. Develop a test plan to test your database, applications,
and reports
Prepare to Upgrade
Before you upgrade your database, you should perform the following steps:
1. Become familiar with the features of Oracle Database 11g release 1 (11.1).
2. Determine the upgrade path to the new release.
3. Choose an upgrade method.
4. Choose an Oracle home directory for the new release.
5. Prepare a backup and recovery strategy
6. Develop a testing plan.

Oracle Database 11g Release 1 Upgrade Paths
• Direct upgrade to 11g is supported from 9.2.0.4 or

higher, 10.1.0.2 or higher, and 10.2.0.1 or higher.
• If you are not at one of these versions you need to
perform a “double-hop” upgrade
• For example:
– 7.3.4 -> 9.2.0.8 -> 11.1
– 8.1.7.4->9.2..0.8->11.1
Oracle Database 11g Release 1 Upgrade Paths

The path that you must take to upgrade to Oracle Database 11g release 1 (11.1) depends on the
release number of your current database. It might not be possible to upgrade directly from your
current version of Oracle Database to the latest version. Depending on your current release, you
might be required to upgrade through one or more intermediate releases to upgrade to Oracle
Database 11g release 1 (11.1).
For example, if the current database is running release 8.1.6, then follow these steps:
1. Upgrade release 8.1.6 to release 8.1.7A using the instructions in Oracle8i Migration Release 3
(8.1.7).
2. Upgrade release 8.1.7A to 9.2.0.8 using the instructions in Oracle9i Database Migration
Release 2 (9.2).
3. Upgrade release 9.2.0.8 to Oracle Database 11g release 1 (11.1) using the instructions in this
lesson.

Choose an Upgrade Method
• Database Upgrade Assistant (DBUA)

– Automated GUI tool that interactively steps the user
through the upgrade process and configures the
database to run with Oracle Database 11g Release 1
• Manual Upgrade
– Use SQL*Plus to perform any necessary actions to
prepare for the upgrade, run the upgrade scripts and
analyze the upgrade results
• Export-Import
– Use Data Pump or original Export/Import
• CREATE TABLE AS SQL statement
Choose an Upgrade Method

Oracle Database 11g release 1 (11.1) supports the following tools and methods for upgrading a
database to the new release:
• Database Upgrade Assistant (DBUA) provides a graphical user interface (GUI) that guides
you through the upgrade of a database. DBUA can be launched during installation with the
Oracle Universal Installer, or you can launch DBUA as a standalone tool at any time in the
future. DBUA is the recommended method for performing a major release upgrade or patch
release upgrade.
• Manual upgrade using SQL scripts and utilities provide a command-line upgrade of a
database, using SQL scripts and utilities.
• Export and Import utilities use the Oracle Data Pump Export and Import utilities, available as
of Oracle Database 10g release 1 (10.1), or the original Export and Import utilities to perform
a full or partial export from your database, followed by a full or partial import into a new
Oracle Database 11g release 1 (11.1) database. Export/Import can copy a subset of the data,
leaving the database unchanged.
• CREATE TABLE AS SQL statement copies data from a database into a new Oracle
Database 11g release 1 (11.1) database. Data copying can copy a subset of the data, leaving
the database unchanged.

Database Upgrade Assistant Advantages and
Disadvantages
• Advantages
– Automates all tasks
– Performs both Release and Patch set upgrades
– Supports RAC, Single Instance and ASM
– Informs user and fixes upgrade prerequisites
– Automatically reports errors found in spool logs
– Provides complete HTML report of the upgrade process
– Command line interface allows ISVs to automate
• Disadvantages
– Offers less control over individual upgrade steps

Manual Upgrade Advantages and Disadvantages
• Advantages
– The DBA controls every step of the upgrade process
• Disadvantages
– More work
– Manually run utlu111s.sql to check for errors
– More error prone
– Harder to automate

Sample Test Plan
• Make a clone of your production system using

Enterprise Manager
• Upgrade test database to latest version
• Update COMPATIBLE to latest version
• Run your applications, reports, and legacy systems
• Ensure adequate performance by comparing metrics
gathered before and after upgrade
• Tune queries or problem SQL statements
• Update any necessary database parameters

Manual Upgrade

Performing a Manual Upgrade - 1
1. Install Oracle Database 11g Release 1 in new

ORACLE_HOME
2. Analyze the existing database
– Use rdbms/admin/utlu111i.sql with existing server
– SQL> spool pre_upgrade.log
– SQL> @utlu111i
3. Adjust redo logs and tablespace sizes if necessary
4. Copy existing initialization files to new ORACLE_HOME
and make adjustments as recommended
5. Shutdown immediate, backup, then switch to the new
ORACLE_HOME

6. Startup using the Oracle Database 11g Release 1

server
– SQL> startup upgrade
7. If you are upgrading from 9.2, then create a SYSAUX
tablespace
– SQL> create tablespace SYSAUX datafile
'e:\oracle\oradata\empdb\sysaux01.dbf'
size 500M reuse
extent management local
segment space management auto
online;
8. Run the upgrade (automatically shuts db down)
– SQL> spool upgrade.log
– SQL> @catupgrd.sql

9. Restart the database instance in normal mode

– SQL> startup
10. Run post-upgrade status utility to display the results
of the upgrade
– SQL>@utlu111s.sql
11. Run post upgrade actions
– SQL> @catuppst.sql
12. Recompile and revalidate any remaining application
objects
– SQL> @utlrp (will do parallel compile on multi-
processor system)
Note: catuppst.sql is the post-upgrade script that performs remaining upgrade actions that
do not require that the database be open in UPGRADE mode. It can be run at the same time
utlrp.sql is being run.

Now you are ready to use Oracle Database 11g
Release 1!
• Perform any required post-upgrade steps

• Make additional post-upgrade adjustments to
initialization parameters
