Pallav,

There is very explicit documentation for upgrading from 8.0.x to 8.1.x in the Migration Guide of the 8.1.7 server documentation set. You can see that documentation at technet.oracle.com. You need to be a registered user to login to that site but it's free to become registered and it doesn't take long.

I just upgraded from 8.0.4 to 8.1.5 using the manual method. Mostly it's just copying over your init.ora file from the 8.0.4 home to the 8.1.5 home, setting the compatible parameter in the init.ora file to 8.1.5, setting the ORACLE_HOME variable to the 8.1.5 home and starting up the database as 8.1.5. Then you run a u0xxxxx.sql script from the rdbms/admin directory and it's all downhill from there.

Anyway, there are several upgrade methods you can use. I found the upgrade documentation in the migration guide to be very comprehensive and explicit.

Cherie
