Again, not optimizer related, but two bugs that have hit us particularly hard (and caused a lot of frustration) are related to tablespace size monitoring. These affect OEM as well so our monitoring ha poiuytres been affected resulting is minor outages to applications at times:

Oracle Support Document 17897511.8 (Bug 17897511 - ORA-1000 from query on DBA_TABLESPACE_USAGE_METRICS after upgrade to 11.2.0.4 - superseded) can be found at: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?id=17897511.8

Oracle Support Document 18723434.8 (Bug 18723434 - DBA_TABLESPACE_USAGE_METRICS.tablespace_size can be incorrect for ASM tablespaces after applying 11.2.0.4) can be found at: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?id=18723434.8

As noted, there are patches to fix these, but, with almost 200 databases, it takes a while to get the patches rolled out. In the interim, we have had to use a custom metric which avoids the view DBA_TABLEPACE_USAGE_METRICS to calculate space usage.

If we could do it again, we would have most certainly rolled these patches with the 11.2.0.4 patchset.

Subject: Upgrade issues 11.2.0.3 to 11.2.0.4?

We are getting ready to migrate some databases from 11.2.0.3 (Windows 2003) to 11.2.0.4 (Linux - Redhat 6.6). Are there any major changes in the optimizer that we should be concerned about?

Thanks,
Peter
