How to Upgrade Oracle Database 11g to Oracle 12c using DBUA

 

Oracle 12c Manual upgrade steps

Manual upgrade steps should be as follows.

  1. Take Full backup
  2. Gather dictionary stats
  3. Purge Recycle bin
  4. Run Preupgrade
  5. Shutdown 11g Database and Open 12c instance in upgrade mode
  6. Upgrade database
  7. Run Post Upgrade steps
  8. Compile Invalid Objects.
  9. Check Oracle 12c instances and database

 

Steps -1 :  Take a Full backup via RMAN Tool. If you don’t know RMAN Backup, read following article.

Full Backup in Online and Offline Mode via RMAN | Oracle RMAN ( Recovery Manager ) Backup Tutorials -3

 

 

 

 

 

 

Steps -2: Gather dictionary stats like following.

 

SQL> EXEC DBMS_STATS.GATHER_DICTIONARY_STATS;

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

 

 

Steps -3: Purge recycle bin.

 

SQL> PURGE DBA_RECYCLEBIN ;

DBA Recyclebin purged.

 

 

Preupgrade Oracle 12c

Steps -4: Run Preupgrade tool as follows.

 

/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_4/jdk/bin/java -jar /oracle/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/db_1/rdbms/admin/preupgrade.jar FILE DIR /oracle




oracle@MehmetSalih ~DEVECI(/home/oracle)$  /oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_4/jdk/bin/java -jar /oracle/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/db_1/rdbms/admin/preupgrade.jar FILE DIR /oracle
Preupgrade generated files:
/oracle/preupgrade.log
/oracle/preupgrade_fixups.sql
/oracle/postupgrade_fixups.sql
oracle@MehmetSalih ~DEVECI(/home/oracle)$

 

After execution of preupgrade.jar, you should run following sql to complete preupgrade task.

SQL> @preupgrade_fixups.sql
