2. Backup

** Database Backup  -- I have it.
** tnsnames.ora
** listener.ora
** sqlnet.ora
** pfile and spfile
** orapw file

DBUA adds the selected listener to the listener.ora file of the target Oracle home, and starts it.

DBUA removes the entry of the upgraded database from the old (source) listener.ora file.

DBUA reloads the listener.ora file in both the source and target Oracle Database environments.

[oracle@rac1 ~]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1/network/admin/
[oracle@rac1 admin]$ cp -p listener.ora sqlnet.ora tnsnames.ora /u01/app/backup/

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

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

  RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
  ===================
  1.  (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 12.2.0.1
      Oracle Database SQL Tuning Guide.

  2.  (AUTOFIXUP) Gather statistics on fixed objects prior the upgrade.

      None of the fixed object tables have had stats collected.

      Gathering statistics on fixed objects, if none have been gathered yet, is
      recommended prior to upgrading.

      For information on managing optimizer statistics, refer to the 12.2.0.1
      Oracle Database SQL Tuning Guide.

  INFORMATION ONLY
  ================
  3.  To help you keep track of your tablespace allocations, the following
      AUTOEXTEND tablespaces are expected to successfully EXTEND during the
      upgrade process.

                                                 Min Size
      Tablespace                        Size     For Upgrade
      ----------                     ----------  -----------
      SYSAUX                             470 MB       500 MB
      SYSTEM                             800 MB       912 MB
      TEMP                                32 MB       150 MB
      UNDOTBS1                            70 MB       439 MB

      Minimum tablespace sizes for upgrade are estimates.

  4.  Ensure there is additional disk space in LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1 for at least
      4618 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.

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

      Archive Log Destination:
       Parameter    :  LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1
       Destination  :  /u01/app/archive/VFX

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

  5.  Check the Oracle Backup and Recovery User's Guide for information on how
      to manage an RMAN recovery catalog schema.

      If you are using a version of the recovery catalog schema that is older
      than that required by the RMAN client version, then you must upgrade the
      catalog schema.

      It is good practice to have the catalog schema the same or higher version
      than the RMAN client version you are using.

  ORACLE GENERATED FIXUP SCRIPT
  =============================
  All of the issues in database VFX
  which are identified above as BEFORE UPGRADE "(AUTOFIXUP)" can be resolved by
  executing the following

    SQL>@/home/oracle/preupgrade/preupgrade_fixups.sql

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

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

  RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
  ===================
  6.  Upgrade the database time zone file using the DBMS_DST package.

      The database is using time zone file version 26 and the target 19 release
      ships with time zone file version 32.

      Oracle recommends upgrading to the desired (latest) version of the time
      zone file.  For more information, refer to "Upgrading the Time Zone File
      and Timestamp with Time Zone Data" in the 19 Oracle Database
      Globalization Support Guide.

  7.  (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.

  8.  Gather statistics on fixed objects after the upgrade and when there is a
      representative workload on the system 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.

      For information on managing optimizer statistics, refer to the 12.2.0.1
      Oracle Database SQL Tuning Guide.

  ORACLE GENERATED FIXUP SCRIPT

5. Verify tablespace sizes for upgrade

** Tablespace Auto extend ON and max size also set, hence no action taken.

The fixup scripts have been run and resolved what they can. However,
there are still issues originally identified by the preupgrade that
have not been remedied and are still present in the database.
Depending on the severity of the specific issue, and the nature of
the issue itself, that could mean that your database is not ready
for upgrade.  To resolve the outstanding issues, start by reviewing
the preupgrade_fixups.sql and searching it for the name of
the failed CHECK NAME or Preupgrade Action Number listed above.
There you will find the original corresponding diagnostic message
from the preupgrade which explains in more detail what still needs
to be done.

Executing Oracle POST-Upgrade Fixup Script

The fixup scripts have been run and resolved what they can. However,
there are still issues originally identified by the preupgrade that
have not been remedied and are still present in the database.
Depending on the severity of the specific issue, and the nature of
the issue itself, that could mean that your database upgrade is not
fully complete.  To resolve the outstanding issues, start by reviewing
the postupgrade_fixups.sql and searching it for the name of
the failed CHECK NAME or Preupgrade Action Number listed above.
There you will find the original corresponding diagnostic message
from the preupgrade which explains in more detail what still needs
to be done.

20. Update COMPATIBLE parameter

Warning: If the value of COMPATIBLE parameter is changed to 19.0.0 then if for some reasons database needs to be downgraded to 12.2.0.1 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.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION ONLY

If local_listener set in INITIALIZATION parameter file, then please remove it before upgrade, after upgrade you can add it back manually. If you don’t remove, may get error while running Post upgrade steps DBUA. I have faced this issue while upgrade from 11g to 12c not in this test case. FYI ONLY


  
Found below error in upgrade log file...
