Hi All,

Software:- Oracle 9i,Oracle 10g
OS - Solaris 9.

We have 5 databases in our development enviornment. All the databases(9i) are running on Solaris 9 os. I have given responsibilty to install oracle 10g on solaris box(development enviornment).

Once the 10g gets install then upgrade one of the database running on the 9i to 10g. i.e. migrate all the database objects, and others stuff.


I am Oracle Developer and have never involved in Administration role. I have referred few document over the net to get headup.
1. Oracle 10g Install guide on Solaris
2. Oracle Database Upgrade Oracle 10g.

After reading the document I feel I still don't have enough information on some of issue which I think it may arise.
1. approach for installing 10g
2. How to mirgartion data from 9i to 10g
3. What issues does arises during installation/post installation and so on.
4. Any risk?
5. Backout startegy

I would like to know

1. Install guide for Oracle on solaris box. What precation to take care if there is old version of database running?
2. Regarding backup and transferring data to 10g Should I just copy the datafile and other files to some directory and once 10g is install copy them to 10g respective folder?

3. How would I point the old instance running on 9i database to 10g.
4. Any changes required in .profile, envirornment file

5. How do I make sure the upgrade of database should not affect other instance?.

6. Any link which give me further headups on th current project
Many thanks
7. What startegy should I use to proceed further?

Any suggesstion are most welcome.

Regards,
Yash

All your questions are answered in these two books you mention, including the "precautions" you have to take:

1. Oracle 10g Install guide on Solaris
2. Oracle Database Upgrade Oracle 10g.

With regards to your "I would like to know" questions:

Quote:
1. Install guide for Oracle on solaris box. What precation to take care if there is old version of database running?

Read the above 1 and 2 books. Database to be upgraded from old version is to be shutdown.

Quote:
2. Regarding backup and transferring data to 10g Should I just copy the datafile and other files to some directory and once 10g is install copy them to 10g respective folder?

Detailed process is described in book 2. No need to move data to another directory ("folder" is a WinDoze term, YUCK!)

Now, if you do have the data under the Oracle home (sloppiness and bad practice), then you may want to relocate the data files.

Quote:
3. How would I point the old instance running on 9i database to 10g.

You may or may not have to configure access to the database in the tnsnames.ora file(s) on the client side.

Also you need to execute the listener from tha highest version of Oracle home (10g) -- or -- have a different listener per oracle home.

Quote:
4. Any changes required in .profile, envirornment file

Depends. you may need to change the ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID and PATH variables every time you need to work or execute scripts on different database. (check out the "/usr/local/bin/oraenv" script).

Quote:
5. How do I make sure the upgrade of database should not affect other instance?.

Because it will be on a different oracle home and you will have set the ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID and PATH variables correctly each time.

Quote:
6. Any link which give me further headups on th current project

You may want to check the Oracle® Database READMEs and Release Notes 10g Release 2 (10.2) for Solaris Operating System (SPARC 64-Bit) -- there are also release notes for (x86 and x86-64).

Quote:
7. What startegy should I use to proceed further?

Extreme caution and backups after each step.

My Database :- 9.2.0.7

Thanks for your advise. I gone through the installation guide and upgrade guide. I have confusion over upgrade path to new oracle10g database release?

Please click on the link that talk about upgrade path.

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14238/preup.htm#i1007814

One thing that is confusing me after going through the link is does my database which is on 9.2.0.7 need any more patch? If it requires where can I find minimum patch release for 9.2.0.7? Do I have to install patch releases of 10.1.0.2 on our database and then upgrade to 10.2.0?

I would appreciate if I could get advise on it.

Kind regards,
Yash

I am getting the error when I tried to run the 10g listener.

The listener supports no services
The command completed successfully


I am currently having two listener one for 9i database and other for 10g. I configured the 10g listener with below values with different port number in listener.ora.

I checked entry in /var/opt/oracle/oratab to make sure the database is pointing to 10g.

I change KEY to EXTPROC1 for 10g listener and KEY = EXTPROC for 9i listener.

How do I start 10g listener.9i Listener is runnig fine

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. The reason of running two listener on differen port is because we want to test end to end connectivity with 10g database upgrade without causing any impact on any other development enviornments. Once we happy with the test we would migrate other database to 10g. From that point we will have only one listener running. But at this stage we would like to run multiple listener.

I hope I managed to post reply properly. Anyway below is the output from the following command.

Moved the listener.ora out of the way.

The ABC is 9i database which the listener has started but it did not started DEF database. Also how do I point the listener to run on different port.

After a connection is made between client & DB, the listener is 100% & totally out of that loop.

Running 1 listener will never "cause any impact on any other development enviornments"

If you insist on (ab)using 2 listeners, then customize the template I posted.

Hey that template did the trick. Here are the details I entered in 10g listener.ora file. I stop/start the listener and it is now show all the databases including 10g.

But what confusing to me is listener.ora file was under $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/sample so how does it manage to recoginze the file as point of entry. Because normally you keep those file under $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin.

I am now going to do end to end testing. Will see what comes later. But I really appreciate for your help.

Many thanks,
Yash
