Hello,

This is my first time on this forums and from what I've seen/read so far, I can say am gonna enjoy being here.

My issue is that I am ordered to migrate our database to version 10.2.0.3 but this is an operation I have never done. We're runing 10.2.0.1.0 on Windows server 2003 32-bit. I have a metalink account. Can someone please tell me how do I proceed? What information do I enter on the fields "release" (the release am working on now, or the release I want to migrate to), "patch type" and "classification"?

Thank you in advance.

Go to the "Patches and Updates" tab.

And then "Quick Links to the Latest Patchsets, Mini Packs, and Maintenance Packs"

And then navigate to the product / OS / version you want to upgrade to.

The download in done and I went though the read me. It's required to download the patch num 5601428...I did. and in it, one should apply the script utltzuv2.sql. I did notice that, that script does exist in the directory 'files' of the patch 5601428, but it also exists in my current oracle_home.

Which one of those do I execute? The one in the patch???

I also went through the script utltzuv2.sql, and it is said to get the latest version of the timezdif.csv file before running utltzuv2.sql.

Can I find that file on metalink?

Thanks in advance.

If you want to upgrade then apply 10.2.0.4.0 patchset instead of 10.2.0.3.0.

The procedure is same for both patchset.

NOTE: Read README.txt file.

Hello,

Thank you all for your contributions. I think am well armed now though...well, when I was reading the post installation taks associated with the migration, I noticed in the read me that for an upgrade using the assistant, one should set ORACLE_HOME,ORACLE_SID and PATH variable. I know what ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID refer to, but I don't know what PATH variable is. Anyone knows? If yes, can you please explain to me how to set it?. I would like to perform the upgrade using the assistant on this one.

Just to exercise myself, I think am gonna try the manual upgrade on another machine. Thanks anyway Babu, for the link.

I got the timetz.csv file. I made the suggestion Taj, but my managers don't want to hear about a version other than .0.4. Can't afford to lose my job for that. Smile

Thanks in advance.

Well Babu as Taj already said, there are two ways of doing that, and I did it both ways as I said. On my PC, I did it manually following the instructions on the read me and those on your link.(They were all the same though), and this morning, I did it on the server itself using the assistant, and it worked. Thank you again. However, there is a step I didn't follow when I was doing the manual upgrade. Your link Babu, instructed to make sure the SYSTEM tablespace has at least 50M of free space. I skipped that but I would like to know how we check that? I queried the dba_tablespaces data dico table but I couldn't figure out which fields to use to determine the space of the system tablespace. Can someone help?

Thanks in advance.

Find Total space of System Tablespace:

select sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 from dba_data_files where tablespace_name='SYSTEM'


Find Free space of System tablespace:

select sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 from dba_free_space where tablespace_name='SYSTEM'

Thank you Babu. Didn't know about the dba_free_space data dico table before. Tell me though, dividing thrice by 1024 gives the result in gigabytes doesn't it?
