0. Overview

This parameter MAX_STRING_SIZE was introduced in Oracle 12c. This is fixed in 12.2

In order to expand the maximum value of varchar2 (also nvarchar2 and raw) datatypes in Oracle 12c and beyond, the max_string_size parameter needs to be set to "extended".  This will change the maximum value from 4k (4096) to 32k (32767).

To change max_string_size from the default of "standard" to "extended" you must bounce the database for the parameter to take effect and then run a utility to change all of the old maximum sizes for VARCHAR2 to the new larger values.

WARNING:  You MUST run utl32k.sql immediately after changing max_string_size=extended, else you risk invalidating the database columns.

Steps for Standalone Database

1. shutdown immediate;
2. startup upgrade;
3. ALTER SYSTEM SET MAX_STRING_SIZE=EXTENDED SCOPE=BOTH;
4. Run $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utl32k.sql
5. startup;

0. Introduction

PLEASE NOTE in 12c Data Guard is set up at the Container level and not the individual Pluggable database level as the redo log files only belong to the Container database and the individual pluggable databases do not have their own online redo log files.

Definition of Active Dataguard:

Oracle Active Data Guard enables read-only access to a physical standby database for queries, sorting, reporting, web-based access, etc., while continuously applying changes received from the production/primary database.

Goal : How to Create Physical Standby Database using RMAN Backup With Duplicate Command


1. Environment

Primary:

	Platform	: Linuxx86_64
	Server Name	: RAC1.RAJASEKHAR.COM, IP: 192.168.2.101
	DB Version	: Oracle 12.2.0.1
	File system     : Normal
	Database Name	: UOIN1CON
        DB_UNIQUE_NAME  : UOIN1CON
	Flashback	: Disabled
	Oracle Home Path: /u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1
		
Standby:
		
	Platform	: Linuxx86_64
	Server Name	: RAC2.RAJASEKHAR.COM, IP: 192.168.2.102
	DB Version	: Oracle 12.2.0.1
	File system     : Normal
	Database Name	: UOIN1CON
        DB_UNIQUE_NAME  : UOIN1CON_DG
        Flashback	: Disabled
	Oracle Home Path: /u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1

On Primary (Step 2 to Step 12)


2. Enable Forced Logging on Primary

SQL> select name, open_mode,cdb from v$database;

NAME      OPEN_MODE            CDB
--------- -------------------- ---

---------------------------------------
NO

SQL> ALTER DATABASE FORCE LOGGING;

Database altered.

SQL> select force_logging from v$database;

3. Check Password File on Primary

[oracle@rac1 dbs]$ pwd
/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/dbs
[oracle@rac1 dbs]$ ls -ltr orapwUOIN1CON
-rw-r-----. 1 oracle dba 3584 Dec 14 12:26 orapwUOIN1CON
[oracle@rac1 dbs]$


4. Configure a Standby Redo Log on Primary

-- Since we have 3 online redo log file groups, we need to create 4(3+1) Standby redo log file groups
-- Standy Redo logs files come into picture only when protection mode is Maximum Availability and Maximum Protection.

8. Transfer PASSWORD FILE TO STANDBY SIDE

-- Copy the password file from the primary to standby $ORACLE_HOME/dbs and rename it to the standby database name.
-- The username is required to be SYS and the password needs to be the same on the Primary and Standby.
-- The best practice for this is to copy the passwordfile as suggested.
-- The password file name must match the instance name/SID used at the standby site, not the DB_NAME.

0. Introduction

PLEASE NOTE in 12c Data Guard is set up at the Container level and not the individual Pluggable database level as the redo log files only belong to the Container database and the individual pluggable databases do not have their own online redo log files.

Definition of Active Dataguard:

Oracle Active Data Guard enables read-only access to a physical standby database for queries, sorting, reporting, web-based access, etc., while continuously applying changes received from the production/primary database.

Goal : How to Create Physical Standby Database using RMAN Backup Without Using Duplicate Command

On Primary (Step 2 to Step 12)


2. Enable Forced Logging on Primary

SQL> select name, open_mode,cdb from v$database;

NAME      OPEN_MODE            CDB
--------- -------------------- ---
UOIN1CON  READ WRITE           NO

SQL> select force_logging from v$database;

FORCE_LOGGING
---------------------------------------
NO

SQL> ALTER DATABASE FORCE LOGGING;

Database altered.

SQL> select force_logging from v$database;

FORCE_LOGGING
---------------------------------------
YES <----

SQL>


3. Check Password File on Primary

[oracle@rac1 dbs]$ pwd
/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/dbs
[oracle@rac1 dbs]$ ls -ltr orapwUOIN1CON
-rw-r-----. 1 oracle dba 3584 Dec 14 12:26 orapwUOIN1CON
[oracle@rac1 dbs]$


4. Configure a Standby Redo Log on Primary

-- Since we have 3 online redo log file groups, we need to create 4(3+1) Standby redo log file groups
-- Standy Redo logs files come into picture only when protection mode is Maximum Availability and Maximum Protection.

8. Transfer PASSWORD FILE TO STANDBY SIDE

-- Copy the password file from the primary to standby $ORACLE_HOME/dbs and rename it to the standby database name.
-- The username is required to be SYS and the password needs to be the same on the Primary and Standby.
-- The best practice for this is to copy the passwordfile as suggested.
-- The password file name must match the instance name/SID used at the standby site, not the DB_NAME.

     multiplied by that minimum.  Failing to allocate sufficient space can
     cause the upgrade to fail.




   + Update NUMERIC INITIALIZATION PARAMETERS to meet estimated minimums.

     Parameter                         12.2.0.1.0 minimum
     ---------                         ------------------
     memory_target*                            1535115264
     processes                                        300

     * These minimum memory/pool sizes are recommended for the upgrade process




  RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
  ===================
   + Remove the EM repository.

     - Copy the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/emremove.sql script from the target
     12.2.0.1.0 ORACLE_HOME into the source 11.2.0.4.0 ORACLE_HOME.

     Step 1: If database control is configured, stop EM Database Control,
     using the following command

       $> emctl stop dbconsole

     Step 2: Connect to the database using the SYS account AS SYSDBA

       SET ECHO ON;
       SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
      @emremove.sql

     Without the set echo and serveroutput commands, you will not be able to
     follow the progress of the script.

     The database has an Enterprise Manager Database Control repository.

     Starting with Oracle Database 12c, the local Enterprise Manager Database
     Control does not exist anymore. The repository will be removed from your
     database during the upgrade.  This step can be manually performed before
     the upgrade to reduce downtime.

   + Remove OLAP Catalog by running the 11.2.0.4.0 SQL script
     $ORACLE_HOME/olap/admin/catnoamd.sql script.

     The OLAP Catalog component, AMD, exists in the database.

     Starting with Oracle Database 12c, the OLAP Catalog (OLAP AMD) is
     desupported and will be automatically marked as OPTION OFF during the database upgrade if present. Oracle recommends removing OLAP Catalog
     (OLAP AMD) before database upgrade.

   + (AUTOFIXUP) Gather stale data dictionary statistics prior to database upgrade in off-peak time using:

      EXECUTE DBMS_STATS.GATHER_DICTIONARY_STATS;

     Dictionary statistics do not exist or are stale (not up-to-date).

     Dictionary statistics help the Oracle optimizer find efficient SQL
     execution plans and are essential for proper upgrade timing. Oracle
     recommends gathering dictionary statistics in the last 24 hours before
     database upgrade.

     For information on managing optimizer statistics, refer to the 11.2.0.4
     Oracle Database Performance Tuning Guide.

   + Directly grant ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER privilege to the owner of the
     trigger or drop and re-create the trigger with a user that was granted
     directly with such. You can list those triggers using "SELECT OWNER,
     TRIGGER_NAME FROM DBA_TRIGGERS WHERE BASE_OBJECT_TYPE=''DATABASE'' AND
     OWNER NOT IN (SELECT GRANTEE FROM DBA_SYS_PRIVS WHERE
     PRIVILEGE=''ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER'')"

     There is one or more database triggers whose owner does not have the
     right privilege on the database.

     The creation of database triggers must be done by users granted with
     ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER privilege. Privilege must have been granted
     directly.

  INFORMATION ONLY
  ================
   + Consider upgrading APEX manually, before the database upgrade.

     The database contains APEX version 3.2.1.00.12 and will need to be
     upgraded to at least version 5.0.4.00.12.

     To reduce database upgrade time, you can upgrade APEX manually before
     the database upgrade.  Refer to My Oracle Support Note 1088970.1 for
     information on APEX installation upgrades.

   + Ensure there is additional disk space in LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1 for at least
     5315 MB of archived logs.  Check alert log during the upgrade that there
     is no write error to the destination due to lack of disk space.  Execute
     'archive log list' and query v$archive_dest for more
     LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_ destinations to check.

     Archiving cannot proceed if the archive log destination is full during
     upgrade.

     Archive Log Destination:
      Parameter    :  LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1
      Destination  :  /u02/oracle/archive

     The database has archiving enabled and LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_ set.  The
     upgrade process will need free disk space in the archive log
     destination(s) to generate archived logs to.

=============
AFTER UPGRADE
=============

  Run /postupgrade_fixups.sql to complete all
  of the AFTER UPGRADE action items below marked with '(AUTOFIXUP)'.

  REQUIRED ACTIONS
  ================
  None

  RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
  ===================
   + Upgrade the database time zone version using the DBMS_DST package.

     The database is using timezone datafile version 14 and the target
     12.2.0.1.0 database ships with timezone datafile version 26.

     Oracle recommends using the most recent timezone data.  For further
     information, refer to My Oracle Support Note 1585343.1.

   + (AUTOFIXUP) Gather dictionary statistics after the upgrade using the
     command:

       EXECUTE DBMS_STATS.GATHER_DICTIONARY_STATS;

     Oracle recommends gathering dictionary statistics after upgrade.

     Dictionary statistics provide essential information to the Oracle
     optimizer to help it find efficient SQL execution plans. After a
     database upgrade, statistics need to be re-gathered as there can now be
     tables that have significantly changed during the upgrade or new tables
     that do not have statistics gathered yet.

   + Gather statistics on fixed objects two weeks after the upgrade using the
     command:

       EXECUTE DBMS_STATS.GATHER_FIXED_OBJECTS_STATS;

     This recommendation is given for all preupgrade runs.

     Fixed object statistics provide essential information to the Oracle
     optimizer to help it find efficient SQL execution plans.  Those
     statistics are specific to the Oracle Database release that generates
     them, and can be stale upon database upgrade.

  INFORMATION ONLY
  ================
   + Check the Oracle documentation for the identified components for their
     specific upgrade procedure.

     The database upgrade script will not upgrade the following Oracle
     components:  OLAP Catalog,OWB

     The Oracle database upgrade script upgrades most, but not all Oracle
     Database components that may be installed.  Some components that are not
     upgraded may have their own upgrade scripts, or they may be deprecated
     or obsolete.

34. Update COMPATIBLE parameter

Warning: If the value of COMPATIBLE parameter is changed to 12.2.0.1 then if for some reasons database needs to be downgraded to 11.2.0.4 the DBA would not have any option other than export/import to downgrade the database. But if this parameter is left unchanged for sometime to see how the database performs after upgrade then it is very easy and fast to downgrade the database if for some reason it is required to be downgraded.

==============
BEFORE UPGRADE
==============

  Run /preupgrade_fixups.sql to complete all
  of the BEFORE UPGRADE action items below marked with '(AUTOFIXUP)'.

  REQUIRED ACTIONS
  ================
   + Adjust TABLESPACE SIZES as needed.
                                                Auto      12.2.0.1.0
     Tablespace                        Size     Extend    Min Size    Action
     ----------                     ----------  --------  ----------  ------

     SYSAUX                             500 MB  ENABLED      1401 MB  None
     SYSTEM                             750 MB  ENABLED      1253 MB  None
     TEMP                                20 MB  ENABLED       150 MB  None
     UNDOTBS1                            50 MB  ENABLED       400 MB  None

     Note that 12.2.0.1.0 minimum sizes are estimates.
     If you plan to upgrade multiple pluggable databases concurrently,
     then you must ensure that the UNDO tablespace size is equal to at least
     the number of pluggable databases that you upgrade concurrently,
     multiplied by that minimum.  Failing to allocate sufficient space can
     cause the upgrade to fail.




   + Update NUMERIC INITIALIZATION PARAMETERS to meet estimated minimums.

     Parameter                         12.2.0.1.0 minimum
     ---------                         ------------------
     processes                                        300




  RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
  ===================
   + Remove the EM repository.

     - Copy the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/emremove.sql script from the target 12.2.0.1.0 ORACLE_HOME into the source 11.2.0.4.0 ORACLE_HOME.

     Step 1: If database control is configured, stop EM Database Control,
     using the following command

       $> emctl stop dbconsole

     Step 2: Connect to the database using the SYS account AS SYSDBA

       SET ECHO ON;
       SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
      @emremove.sql

     Without the set echo and serveroutput commands, you will not be able to
     follow the progress of the script.

     The database has an Enterprise Manager Database Control repository.

     Starting with Oracle Database 12c, the local Enterprise Manager Database
     Control does not exist anymore. The repository will be removed from your
     database during the upgrade.  This step can be manually performed before
     the upgrade to reduce downtime.

   + Remove OLAP Catalog by running the 11.2.0.4.0 SQL script
     $ORACLE_HOME/olap/admin/catnoamd.sql script.

     The OLAP Catalog component, AMD, exists in the database.

     Starting with Oracle Database 12c, the OLAP Catalog (OLAP AMD) is
     desupported and will be automatically marked as OPTION OFF during the
     database upgrade if present. Oracle recommends removing OLAP Catalog
     (OLAP AMD) before database upgrade.

   + (AUTOFIXUP) Gather stale data dictionary statistics prior to database
     upgrade in off-peak time using:

      EXECUTE DBMS_STATS.GATHER_DICTIONARY_STATS;

     Dictionary statistics do not exist or are stale (not up-to-date).

     Dictionary statistics help the Oracle optimizer find efficient SQL
     execution plans and are essential for proper upgrade timing. Oracle
     recommends gathering dictionary statistics in the last 24 hours before
     database upgrade.

     For information on managing optimizer statistics, refer to the 11.2.0.4
     Oracle Database Performance Tuning Guide.

   + Directly grant ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER privilege to the owner of the
     trigger or drop and re-create the trigger with a user that was granted
     directly with such. You can list those triggers using "SELECT OWNER,
     TRIGGER_NAME FROM DBA_TRIGGERS WHERE BASE_OBJECT_TYPE=''DATABASE'' AND
     OWNER NOT IN (SELECT GRANTEE FROM DBA_SYS_PRIVS WHERE
     PRIVILEGE=''ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER'')"

     There is one or more database triggers whose owner does not have the
     right privilege on the database.

     The creation of database triggers must be done by users granted with
     ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER privilege. Privilege must have been granted
     directly.

  INFORMATION ONLY
  ================
   + Consider upgrading APEX manually, before the database upgrade.

     The database contains APEX version 3.2.1.00.12 and will need to be
     upgraded to at least version 5.0.4.00.12.

     To reduce database upgrade time, you can upgrade APEX manually before
     the database upgrade.  Refer to My Oracle Support Note 1088970.1 for
     information on APEX installation upgrades.

   + Ensure there is additional disk space in LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1 for at least
     5315 MB of archived logs.  Check alert log during the upgrade that there
     is no write error to the destination due to lack of disk space.  Execute
     'archive log list' and query v$archive_dest for more
     LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_ destinations to check.

     Archiving cannot proceed if the archive log destination is full during
     upgrade.

     Archive Log Destination:
      Parameter    :  LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1
      Destination  :  /u02/arch/coke

     The database has archiving enabled and LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_ set.  The
     upgrade process will need free disk space in the archive log
     destination(s) to generate archived logs to.

=============
AFTER UPGRADE
=============

  Run /postupgrade_fixups.sql to complete all
  of the AFTER UPGRADE action items below marked with '(AUTOFIXUP)'.

  REQUIRED ACTIONS
  ================
  None

  RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
  ===================
   + Upgrade the database time zone version using the DBMS_DST package.

     The database is using timezone datafile version 14 and the target
     12.2.0.1.0 database ships with timezone datafile version 26.

     Oracle recommends using the most recent timezone data.  For further
     information, refer to My Oracle Support Note 1585343.1.

   + (AUTOFIXUP) Gather dictionary statistics after the upgrade using the
     command:

       EXECUTE DBMS_STATS.GATHER_DICTIONARY_STATS;

     Oracle recommends gathering dictionary statistics after upgrade.

     Dictionary statistics provide essential information to the Oracle
     optimizer to help it find efficient SQL execution plans. After a
     database upgrade, statistics need to be re-gathered as there can now be
     tables that have significantly changed during the upgrade or new tables
     that do not have statistics gathered yet.

   + Gather statistics on fixed objects two weeks after the upgrade using the
     command:

       EXECUTE DBMS_STATS.GATHER_FIXED_OBJECTS_STATS;

     This recommendation is given for all preupgrade runs.

     Fixed object statistics provide essential information to the Oracle
     optimizer to help it find efficient SQL execution plans.  Those
     statistics are specific to the Oracle Database release that generates
     them, and can be stale upon database upgrade.

  INFORMATION ONLY
  ================
   + Check the Oracle documentation for the identified components for their
     specific upgrade procedure.

     The database upgrade script will not upgrade the following Oracle
     components:  OLAP Catalog,OWB

     The Oracle database upgrade script upgrades most, but not all Oracle
     Database components that may be installed.  Some components that are not
     upgraded may have their own upgrade scripts, or they may be deprecated
     or obsolete.

20. Update COMPATIBLE parameter

Warning: If the value of COMPATIBLE parameter is changed to 12.2.0.1 then if for some reasons database needs to be downgraded to 11.2.0.4 the DBA would not have any option other than export/import to downgrade the database. But if this parameter is left unchanged for sometime to see how the database performs after upgrade then it is very easy and fast to downgrade the database if for some reason it is required to be downgraded.

If you change COMPATIBLE you can directly drop your restore points as they are useless. You can’t use Flashback Database to restore point back across a compatibility change of your database.

==============
BEFORE UPGRADE
==============

  Run /preupgrade_fixups.sql to complete all
  of the BEFORE UPGRADE action items below marked with '(AUTOFIXUP)'.

  REQUIRED ACTIONS
  ================
   + Adjust TABLESPACE SIZES as needed.
                                                Auto      12.2.0.1.0

     UNDOTBS1                            65 MB  ENABLED       400 MB  None

     Note that 12.2.0.1.0 minimum sizes are estimates.
     If you plan to upgrade multiple pluggable databases concurrently,
     then you must ensure that the UNDO tablespace size is equal to at least
     the number of pluggable databases that you upgrade concurrently,
     multiplied by that minimum.  Failing to allocate sufficient space can
     cause the upgrade to fail.




   + Update NUMERIC INITIALIZATION PARAMETERS to meet estimated minimums.

     Parameter                         12.2.0.1.0 minimum
     ---------                         ------------------
     processes                                        300




  RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
  ===================
   + Remove the EM repository.

     - Copy the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/emremove.sql script from the target
     12.2.0.1.0 ORACLE_HOME into the source 11.2.0.4.0 ORACLE_HOME.

     Step 1: If database control is configured, stop EM Database Control,
     using the following command

       $> emctl stop dbconsole

     Step 2: Connect to the database using the SYS account AS SYSDBA

       SET ECHO ON;
       SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
      @emremove.sql

     Without the set echo and serveroutput commands, you will not be able to
     follow the progress of the script.

     The database has an Enterprise Manager Database Control repository.

     Starting with Oracle Database 12c, the local Enterprise Manager Database
     Control does not exist anymore. The repository will be removed from your
     database during the upgrade.  This step can be manually performed before
     the upgrade to reduce downtime.

   + Remove OLAP Catalog by running the 11.2.0.4.0 SQL script
     $ORACLE_HOME/olap/admin/catnoamd.sql script.

     The OLAP Catalog component, AMD, exists in the database.

     Starting with Oracle Database 12c, the OLAP Catalog (OLAP AMD) is
     desupported and will be automatically marked as OPTION OFF during the
     database upgrade if present. Oracle recommends removing OLAP Catalog
     (OLAP AMD) before database upgrade.

   + (AUTOFIXUP) Gather stale data dictionary statistics prior to database
     upgrade in off-peak time using:

      EXECUTE DBMS_STATS.GATHER_DICTIONARY_STATS;

     Dictionary statistics do not exist or are stale (not up-to-date).

     Dictionary statistics help the Oracle optimizer find efficient SQL
     execution plans and are essential for proper upgrade timing. Oracle
     recommends gathering dictionary statistics in the last 24 hours before
     database upgrade.

     For information on managing optimizer statistics, refer to the 11.2.0.4
     Oracle Database Performance Tuning Guide.

   + Directly grant ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER privilege to the owner of the
     trigger or drop and re-create the trigger with a user that was granted
     directly with such. You can list those triggers using "SELECT OWNER,
     TRIGGER_NAME FROM DBA_TRIGGERS WHERE BASE_OBJECT_TYPE=''DATABASE'' AND
     OWNER NOT IN (SELECT GRANTEE FROM DBA_SYS_PRIVS WHERE
     PRIVILEGE=''ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER'')"

     There is one or more database triggers whose owner does not have the
     right privilege on the database.

     The creation of database triggers must be done by users granted with
     ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER privilege. Privilege must have been granted
     directly.

   + Please make sure that all the MVs are refreshed and sys.sumdelta$
     becomes empty before doing upgrade, unless you have strong business
     reasons not to do so. You can use dbms_mview.refresh() to refresh the
     MVs except those stale ones  to be kept due to business need. If there
     are any stale MVs depending on changes in sys.sumdelta$, do not truncate
     it, because doing so will cause wrong results after refresh.

     There is one or more non-fresh MV in the database or sumdelta$ is not
     empty.

     Oracle recommends that all materialized views (MV's) are refreshed
     before upgrading the database because this will clear the MV logs and
     the sumdelta$ table, and make the UPGRADE process faster. If you choose
     to not refresh some MVs, the change data for those MV's will be carried
     through the UPGRADE process. After UPGRADE, you can refresh the MV's and
      MV incremental refresh should work in normal cases.

  INFORMATION ONLY
  ================
   + Consider upgrading APEX manually, before the database upgrade.

     The database contains APEX version 3.2.1.00.12 and will need to be
     upgraded to at least version 5.0.4.00.12.

     To reduce database upgrade time, you can upgrade APEX manually before
     the database upgrade.  Refer to My Oracle Support Note 1088970.1 for
     information on APEX installation upgrades.

   + Ensure there is additional disk space in LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1 for at least
     5315 MB of archived logs.  Check alert log during the upgrade that there
     is no write error to the destination due to lack of disk space.  Execute
     'archive log list' and query v$archive_dest for more
     LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_ destinations to check.

     Archiving cannot proceed if the archive log destination is full during
     upgrade.

     Archive Log Destination:
      Parameter    :  LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1
      Destination  :  /u02/arch/DELL/

     The database has archiving enabled and LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_ set.  The
     upgrade process will need free disk space in the archive log
     destination(s) to generate archived logs to.

=============
AFTER UPGRADE
=============

  Run /postupgrade_fixups.sql to complete all
  of the AFTER UPGRADE action items below marked with '(AUTOFIXUP)'.

  REQUIRED ACTIONS
  ================
  None

  RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
  ===================
   + If you use the -T option for the database upgrade, then run
     $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utluptabdata.sql after the upgrade is complete,
     to VALIDATE and UPGRADE any user tables affected by changes to
     Oracle-Maintained types.

     There are user tables dependent on Oracle-Maintained object types.

     If the -T option is used to set user tablespaces to READ ONLY during the
     upgrade, user tables in those tablespaces, that are dependent on
     Oracle-Maintained types, will not be automatically upgraded. If a type
     is evolved during the upgrade, any dependent tables need to be
     re-validated and upgraded to the latest type version AFTER the database
     upgrade completes.

   + Upgrade the database time zone version using the DBMS_DST package.

     The database is using timezone datafile version 14 and the target
     12.2.0.1.0 database ships with timezone datafile version 26.

     Oracle recommends using the most recent timezone data.  For further
     information, refer to My Oracle Support Note 1585343.1.

   + (AUTOFIXUP) Gather dictionary statistics after the upgrade using the
     command:

       EXECUTE DBMS_STATS.GATHER_DICTIONARY_STATS;

     Oracle recommends gathering dictionary statistics after upgrade.

     Dictionary statistics provide essential information to the Oracle
     optimizer to help it find efficient SQL execution plans. After a
     database upgrade, statistics need to be re-gathered as there can now be
     tables that have significantly changed during the upgrade or new tables
     that do not have statistics gathered yet.

   + Gather statistics on fixed objects two weeks after the upgrade using the
     command:

       EXECUTE DBMS_STATS.GATHER_FIXED_OBJECTS_STATS;

     This recommendation is given for all preupgrade runs.

     Fixed object statistics provide essential information to the Oracle
     optimizer to help it find efficient SQL execution plans.  Those
     statistics are specific to the Oracle Database release that generates
     them, and can be stale upon database upgrade.

  INFORMATION ONLY
  ================
   + Check the Oracle documentation for the identified components for their
     specific upgrade procedure.

     The database upgrade script will not upgrade the following Oracle
     components:  OLAP Catalog,OWB

     The Oracle database upgrade script upgrades most, but not all Oracle
     Database components that may be installed.  Some components that are not
     upgraded may have their own upgrade scripts, or they may be deprecated
     or obsolete.

25. Set COMPATIBALE parameter value to 12.2.0

Warning: If the value of COMPATIBLE parameter is changed to 12.2.0.1 then if for some reasons database needs to be downgraded to 11.2.0.4 the DBA would not have any option other than export/import to downgrade the database. But if this parameter is left unchanged for sometime to see how the database performs after upgrade then it is very easy and fast to downgrade the database if for some reason it is required to be downgraded.

If you change COMPATIBLE you can directly drop your restore points as they are useless. You can’t use Flashback Database to restore point back across a compatibility change of your database.

Install 18c

12C, , , , ,

Install Oracle 18c Release 3 on RHEL 6.8

Pre-requisites already been taken care like memory, swap, kernel parameters, add groups, profile and users…etc

Contents
___________________________________________________________________________________________________

1. Hardware Requirements
2. Verify OS version
3. Unzip 18c Binaries
4. Set the DISPLAY Environment
5. Invoke ./runInstaller
6. Verify
___________________________________________________________________________________________________

1. Hardware Requirements

The first thing we need to verify the hardware requirements for an Oracle 18c Release 3

— Check Physical RAM.
# grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
We need at least 8192 MB of physical RAM. <----

— Check Swap Space.
# grep SwapTotal /proc/meminfo/*
RAM up to 1024MB then swap = 2 times the size of RAM
RAM between 2049MB and 8192MB then swap = equal to the size of RAM
RAM more than 8192MB then swap size = 0.75 times the size of RAM

We need at least 8192 MB of swap <----


-– Check space available in /tmp
# df -h /tmp/*
You need to have at least 2048 MB of space in the /tmp directory. <---

-– Check space for Oracle Software and pre-configured database.
# df -h

Space requirement for Oracle 18c Software:
Enterprise Edition 14G  <----

—- To determine whether the system architecture can run the software, enter the following command:

# grep "model name" /proc/cpuinfo

This command displays the processor type. Verify that the processor architecture matches the Oracle software release that you want to install. If you do not see the expected output, then you cannot install the software on this system.


2. Verify OS version

[oracle@rac1 product]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.8 (Santiago)
[oracle@rac1 product]$


3. Unzip 18c Binaries

NOTE: You can't edit oracle home location while installation using OUI. It will pickup automatically ORACLE HOME location, where you have unzipped database binaries. Hence directly unzip in ORACLE HOME location and then start ./runInstaller

After unzip, it will NOT keep all files in single directory.

Colored SQL_ID

12C,

How to mark SQL_ID as Colored

Contents
___________________________________________________________________________________________________

1. Overview
2. Mark SQL_ID as colored
3. Unmark Colored SQL_ID
___________________________________________________________________________________________________


1. Overview

By default, only top sql_ids are captured in database snapshots.

If an SQL ID is colored, it will be captured in every snapshot, independent of its level of activities  (so that it does not have to be a TOP SQL).

Information will be captured in each snapshot for sqls marked using DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY.ADD_COLORED_SQL. 

All the information related to the specific sql (sql plan, executions statistics, etc) will be stored in the AWR tables. 

However the SQLs will not neccesarily appear in the AWR Report sections related to SQLS unless they are indeed amongst the top SQLs for that sections as determined by the setting for DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY.AWR_SET_REPORT_THRESHOLDS


2. Mark SQL_ID as colored

SQL> select * from DBA_HIST_COLORED_SQL;

no rows selected

SQL> execute DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY.ADD_COLORED_SQL(sql_id=>'1gyx4vasq9yv0');

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> select * from DBA_HIST_COLORED_SQL;

      DBID SQL_ID        CREATE_TI
---------- ------------- ---------
3554487085 1gyx4vasq9yv0 25-JUL-18  <-----

3. Unmark Colored SQL_ID

SQL> execute DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY.remove_COLORED_SQL(sql_id=>'1gyx4vasq9yv0');

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> select * from DBA_HIST_COLORED_SQL;

12. Run noncdb_to_pdb.sql script on new PDB (NONCDB12C)
13. Verify table PDB_PLUG_IN_VIOLATIONS
___________________________________________________________________________________________________


1. Overview

There are 4 methods to move Non-CDB into a Pluggable Database (PDB) in a Container Database

- Create PDB by cloning a Non-CDB
- Use DBMS_PDB package
- Use Oracle Data Pump export/import
- Use GoldenGate Replication

Note: If status is UNUSABLE state it must be dropped before a PDB with the same name as the unusable PDB can be created. YOu can view the status from CBD_PDBS OR DBA_PDBS views

SQL>


9. Create target directory for datafiles

SQL> !mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/oradata/CDB1/NONCDB12C

SQL>


10. Plug-in Non-CDB (NONCDB12C) as PDB (NONCDB12C) into CDB1

The NOCOPY option keeps the original location of the datafiles as the database is Plugged-In
The SOURCE_FILE_NAME_CONVERT option allows us to specify a new location of the datafiles

I am plugging the database in to a CDB on the same server with COPY clause and hence using  FILE_NAME_CONVERT.

SQL> CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE NONCDB12C USING '/u02/oradata/NONCDB12C/noncdb12c.xml'
COPY
file_name_convert=('/u02/oradata/NONCDB12C','/u01/app/oracle/oradata/CDB1/NONCDB12C'); 

Pluggable database created.

SQL>


11. Verify newly created PDB NONCDB12C on CDB1

SQL> select name, open_mode, cdb from v$database;

12. Run noncdb_to_pdb.sql script on new PDB (NONCDB12C)

You have to convert the plugged non-CDB to a proper PDB by deleting unnecessary metadata from PDB SYSTEM tablespace.
For this purpose, you execute the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/noncdb_to_pdb.sql
script when connected to the PDB.

Install 12.2 Database Binaries in silent mode

12C

Install Oracle 12.2 database software in silent mode (12.2.0.1)

Please note pre-requisites already been taken care like kernel parameters, add groups, profile and etc


1. Overview

Usually to install 12.2.0.1 database software we will use ./runInstaller graphical user interface.

Some times may not have access to a graphical user interface. 

Silent mode installation allows to configure necessary Oracle components without using graphical interface

In this response file can be used to provide all the required information for the installation, so no additional user input is required.


2. Unzip software

[oracle@localhost]$ unzip linuxx64_12201_database.zip


3. Backup response file

12.2 Active Dataguard in CDB on Non-ASM

12C,

Creating Physical Standby Active DataGuard Configuration in 12.2.0.1 Container Database

AIM: Without shutting down primary, we need to create physical standby database using RMAN DUPLICATE FROM ACTIVE DATABASE command on 12.2 Database in CDB/PDB environment (No need to take backup of primary database)

0. Introduction

PLEASE NOTE in 12c Data Guard is set up at the Container level and not the individual Pluggable database level as the redo log files only belong to the Container database and the individual pluggable databases do not have their own online redo log files.

Definition of Active Dataguard:

Oracle Active Data Guard enables read-only access to a physical standby database for queries, sorting, reporting, web-based access, etc., while continuously applying changes received from the production/primary database.

4. Configure a Standby Redo Log on Primary

Note : 

-- Since we have 3 online redo log file groups, we need to create 4(3+1) Standby redo log file groups
-- Standy Redo logs files come into picture only when protection mode is Maximum Availability and Maximum Protection.

7. Transfer SPFILE AND PASSWORD FILE TO STANDBY SIDE

Copy the password file from the primary $ORACLE_HOME/dbs and rename it to the standby database name.
The username is required to be SYS and the password needs to be the same on the Primary and Standby.
The best practice for this is to copy the passwordfile as suggested.
The password file name must match the instance name/SID used at the standby site, not the DB_NAME.

19. Verify the Physical Standby Database Is Performing Properly

The Pluggable database PDB1 has been opened in READ ONLY mode, but the Container Database is running as an Active Standby database and applying changes as they are received from the primary even when the Standby Container database and all the associated pluggable databases have been opened in read only mode. This means Active Dataguard is working..

On Primary

SQL> alter session set container=pdb1;

Session altered.

SQL> create user raj identified by raj default tablespace users temporary tablespace temp;

User created.

SQL> grant connect,resource to raj;

Grant succeeded.

SQL> alter user raj quota unlimited on users;

CREATE NON-CDB ON ORACLE 12C IN SILENT MODE

12C, , ,

CREATE NON-CONTAINER DATABASE ON ORACLE 12C IN SILENT MODE USING DBCA

Contents
___________________________________________________________________________________________________

1. Overview
2. Set the Environment
3. Create Database using DBCA silent mode
4. Verify
___________________________________________________________________________________________________

1. Overview

Usually to create database we will use DBCA graphical user interface.

Some times may not have access to a graphical user interface then we can use the DBCA silent mode to create a database.

We are going to create NON-CONTAINER database as EOPSDEV 

Database Binary Version: 12.2.0.1.0
OS                     : Linux x86_64


2. Set the Environment

[oracle@localhost ~]$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1
[oracle@localhost ~]$ export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
[oracle@localhost ~]$ which dbca
/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/bin/dbca
[oracle@localhost ~]$


[oracle@localhost ~]$ mkdir -p /u02/oradata
[oracle@localhost ~]$

-- No need to create folder EOPSDEV, it will create automatically by dbca


3. Create Database using DBCA silent mode

[oracle@localhost ~]$ dbca -silent -createDatabase -templateName General_Purpose.dbc -gdbName EOPSDEV.localhost.com -sid EOPSDEV -sysPassword sys -systemPassword sys -emConfiguration NONE -datafileDestination /u02/oradata -storageType FS -characterSet AL32UTF8

Oracle Enterprise Manager Express is a Web-based interface for managing an Oracle database 12c. 
Used to perform basic administrative tasks such as 

- Managing users
- Managing memory
- Managing storage
- Managing database initialization parameters
- Monitor performance
- View SQL Tuning Advisor information
- Verify status information container database and pluggable databases.
