Patching Oracle Database Release Updates Revision (RUR) 18.3.2.0.0 to 18.4.1.0.0

Description:-

We are going to perform Patching Oracle Database Release Update Revision 18.3.2.0.0 to 18.4.1.0.0

About Oracle Database Release Numbers:-
Oracle Database releases are released in version and version_full releases. The version is designated in the form major release numeral.0.0.0.0. The release version is the annual release designation of the database software. For example: 2018 is the release year, and the release version is 18.0.0.0.0. The version_full release is updated using numeric segments that change, based on the annual release designation of the software, the quarterly release update version (RU), and the quarterly release updates revision (RUR).
Oracle Database version_full releases are categorized by three numeric segments, which are divided by periods. The first, second, and third numerals provide information about the Oracle Database releases, starting with Oracle Database release 18c:

First numeral: Oracle Database major release number. For example: Oracle Database 18c; Oracle Database 12c. Starting with Oracle Database 18c, the first numeral indicates the initial year in which an Oracle Database version is released. For example: 2018 is the initial release year for Oracle Database 18c (18.0.0.0.0)
Second numeral: Oracle Database Release Update (Update) in Oracle Database 18c and later releases. For example: 18.3 is Release Update 3. In releases before Oracle Database 18c, the second numeral designates a maintenance release number. For example: Oracle Database 12c release 1 (12.1); Oracle 12c release 2 (12.2).
Third numeral: Oracle Database release updates revision (Revision). For example: 18.1.1.; 18.2.1, 18.3.0
Fourth numeral: Oracle Database increment version. This nomenclature can apply to updates in future releases, and it applies to all releases earlier than 18c. For example: 12.1.0.1, 12.2.0.1,
Fifth numeral: This numeral is reserved for future use.

Caution:

Oracle strongly recommends that you apply the most recent release update (Update) or bundle patch or patch set update to your source and target databases before starting an upgrade, and before starting a downgrade.

Oracle 18c Data Guard Broker Enhancements

Description:-

These are the changes in Oracle Data Guard Broker in Oracle Database Release 18c

This release provides several new commands:

VALIDATE DATABASE SPFILE performs a comparison of server parameter file (SPFILE) entries between the primary database and a specified standby database.
VALIDATE NETWORK CONFIGURATION performs network connectivity checks between members of a broker configuration.
VALIDATE STATIC CONNECT IDENTIFIER validates the static connect identifier of a database.
SET ECHO controls whether or not to echo commands that are issued either at the command-line prompt or from a DGMGRL script.
SHOW ALL (DGMGRL CLI properties) shows the values of DGMGRL CLI properties.

The V$DATAGUARD_PROCESS view, introduced in Oracle Database 12c Release 2 (12.2.0.1), now shows broker processes. (Oracle Data Guard Monitor (DMON)
Process.)

SQL> select name,TYPE,role from V$DATAGUARD_PROCESS;

VALIDATE DATABASE SPFILE

The VALIDATE DATABASE SPFILE command performs a comparison of server parameter file (SPFILE) entries between the primary database and a specified standby database.

The validation of the server parameter file detects parameter value discrepancies between the primary and the specified standby database so that they can be rectified before a role change, thus ensuring that after a role change the databases perform at the same level they did prior to the role change. Additionally, using this command frees you from having to restart a database to correct improperly set parameters.

Format
VALIDATE DATABASE {database-name} SPFILE;

If the database to be validated is the primary database, then a message is returned saying the command cannot be issued on a primary database.

DGMGRL> VALIDATE DATABASE dbwrprim SPFILE;
This command cannot be used for the primary database.

DGMGRL> VALIDATE DATABASE dbwrstby SPFILE;
Connecting to "dbwrprim".

dbwrstby : dbwrstby
sga_target:
dbwrprim (PRIMARY) : 1201668096
dbwrstby : 943718400

VALIDATE NETWORK CONFIGURATION

The VALIDATE NETWORK CONFIGURATION command performs network connectivity checks between members of a configuration.

The connect identifier for each connectivity check is generated based on the
DGConnectIdentifier property of the associated database.

Format
VALIDATE NETWORK CONFIGURATION FOR { ALL | member name };

Validating Network Configuration for a Specific Database

DGMGRL> VALIDATE NETWORK CONFIGURATION FOR dbwrstby;
Connecting to instance "dbwrstby" on database "dbwrstby" ...
Checking connectivity from instance "dbwrstby" on database "dbwrstby" to
instance "dbwrprim" on database "dbwprim"...
Succeeded.
Oracle Clusterware is not configured on database "dbwrstby".

VALIDATE STATIC CONNECT IDENTIFIER

The VALIDATE STATIC CONNECT IDENTIFIER command validates the static connect identifier of a database.
To perform this validation, the broker makes a new connection to the database using a static connect identifier based on the StaticConnectIdentifer property of the database. A new attribute, STATIC_SERVICE=TRUE is added to the connect identifier to ensure that a connection to the database is established using only a static service, not a dynamic service.

Format
VALIDATE STATIC CONNECT IDENTIFIER FOR { ALL | database name };

Command Examples
Validation of Static Connect Identifier For a Database on Which
Oracle Clusterware Is Configured

DGMGRL> VALIDATE STATIC CONNECT IDENTIFIER FOR dbwrstby;
Oracle Clusterware is not configured on database "dbwrstby".

SHOW ALL

The SHOW ALL command shows the values of DGMGRL CLI properties.

Format
SHOW ALL;

Command Example

DGMGRL> SHOW ALL;
debug ON
echo OFF
time OFF

Oracle 18c Database Upgrade From 11.2.0.4 to 18.3.0.0 Using DBUA

Description:-

There are different ways of upgrading to the latest release of Oracle database and Oracle provides multiple methods to upgrade. Few are listed below:

Database Upgrade Assistant (DBUA)
Manual Upgrade
Transportable Tablespaces
Datapump export/import
Oracle Streams
Oracle GoldenGate

Here I am going to choose DBUA to upgrade my database,

Backup 11g database using RMAN

rman target /

run
{
backup database plus archivelog;
backup current controlfile;
backup spfile;
}

Ensure backup is complete before upgrade.

SQL> SELECT * FROM v$backup WHERE status != 'NOT ACTIVE';

no rows selected

Empty Recycle bin.

SQL> PURGE DBA_RECYCLEBIN ;

DBA Recyclebin purged.

Run Gather statistics to finish upgrade soon.

SQL> EXEC DBMS_STATS.GATHER_DICTIONARY_STATS;

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Stop the running 11g listener

lsnrctl stop LISTENER_NAME

Run preupgrade tool and fixups

Oracle strongly recommends that you run the Pre-Upgrade Information Tool before starting the upgrade with DBUA. Although DBUA runs the Pre-Upgrade Information Tool as part of the pre-requisite checks, it is good practice to run the tool ahead of time in order to analyze the database and take actions that can decrease downtime for upgrading.

Connect to 11.2.0.4 database environment as SYS,

Pre-upgrade checks :

Run the preupgrade tool .

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

REQUIRED ACTIONS
================
1. Set DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE initialization parameter to at least 5082
MB. Check alert log during the upgrade to ensure there is remaining free
space available in the recovery area.

DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE is set at 4182 MB. There is currently 4050 MB
of free space remaining, which may not be adequate for the upgrade.

Currently:
Fast recovery area : /u01/app/oracle 
Limit :              4182 MB 
Used :               132 MB 
Available :          4050 MB 

The database has archivelog mode enabled, and the upgrade process will
need free space to generate archived logs to the recovery area specified
by initialization parameter DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST. The logs generated
must not overflow the limit set by DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE, as that
can cause the upgrade to not proceed.

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

- Copy the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/emremove.sql script from the target
18.0.0.0.0 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.

3. 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. This step can be manually performed
before the upgrade to reduce downtime.

4. Upgrade Oracle Application Express (APEX) manually before the database
upgrade.

The database contains APEX version 3.2.1.00.12. Upgrade APEX to at least
version 5.1.3.00.05.

Starting with Oracle Database Release 18, APEX is not upgraded
automatically as part of the database upgrade. Refer to My Oracle Support
Note 1088970.1 for information about APEX installation and upgrades.

5. 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.

6. (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 11.2.0.4
Oracle Database Performance Tuning Guide.

INFORMATION ONLY
================
7. 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                  510 MB          723 MB
SYSTEM                  740 MB          1180 MB
TEMP                    20 MB           150 MB
UNDOTBS1                30 MB           446 MB

Minimum tablespace sizes for upgrade are estimates.

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

SQL>@/u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/orcldb/preupgrade/preupgrade_fixups.sql

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

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

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

The database is using time zone file version 14 and the target 18.0.0.0.0
release ships with time zone file version 31.

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 18.0.0.0.0 Oracle Database
Globalization Support Guide.

9. (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.

10. 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 11.2.0.4
Oracle Database Performance Tuning Guide.

INFORMATION ONLY
================
11. 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.

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

UPGRADE:

At this stage, we are still connected to 11g database which is up and running.

Now run the dbua utility from 18c oracle_home location.

[oracle@ram ~]$ export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
[oracle@ram ~]$ export ORACLE_SID=orcldb
[oracle@ram ~]$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/18.0/db_1
[oracle@ram ~]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/18.3/db_1/bin
[oracle@ram bin]$ ./dbua

DBUA performs some of the checks before actually starting the database upgrade. Some of the checks can be done manually to reduce downtime for the upgrade.

DBUA provides below options:

– Upgrade timezone.

– Gather dictionary statistics before upgrade.

– Make user tablespaces read only.

– Take RMAN backup before upgrade.

– Create Restore Point for Database Flashback

– Restore database backup to rollback upgrade

– Option to execute Custom scripts before and after upgrade

– show the location of DBUA logs and Alert log files.

– Option to upgrade existing listener to 18.x home or create a new listener in 18.x target home.

select the Upgrade Oracle Database option, then click the “Next” button.

If the prerequisite checks highlight any issues, take the appropriate action to fix the issues. If all the prerequisite checks are passed, click the “Next” button.

Amend the upgrade options if necessary, then click the “Next” button.

Select the recovery options for use in the event of an upgrade failure, then click the “Next” button.

If the database is using the 11g listener, accept the defaults, so the listener will be upgraded.

Select the desired management options, then click the “Next” button.

Oracle 18c Database Upgrade From 12.1.0.2 to 18.3.0.0.0 Using DBUA

Description:-

There are different ways of upgrading to the latest release of Oracle database and Oracle provides multiple methods to upgrade. Few are listed below:

Database Upgrade Assistant (DBUA)
Manual Upgrade
Transportable Tablespaces
Datapump export/import
Oracle Streams
Oracle GoldenGate

Here I am going to choose DBUA to upgrade my database,

DBUA provides a graphical user interface to guide you through the upgrade of Oracle Database.

Oracle Database Releases That Support Direct Upgrade

Review the supported options for direct upgrades to the latest Oracle Database release.
You can perform a direct upgrade to the new release from the following releases:
• 11.2.0.3 and 11.2.0.4
• 12.1.0.1 and 12.1.0.2
• 12.2.0.1

Steps for upgrade from 12.1.0.2 to 18.3.0.0 using DBUA :-

Presteps for db upgrade :-

Take RMAN full backups before upgrade.

rman target / 

run {
allocate channel test_backup_disk1 type disk format '/u01/backup/%d_%U';
backup incremental level 0 tag 'ORCL_BEFORE_UPG'  database;
backup format  tag 'ORCL_CONTROL_FILE' current controlfile;
release channel test_backup_disk1;
}

Ensure backup is complete before upgrade.

SQL> Rem NAME
SQL> Rem utlrp.sql - Recompile invalid objects
SQL> Rem
SQL> Rem DESCRIPTION
SQL> Rem This script recompiles invalid objects in the database.
SQL> Rem
SQL> Rem When run as one of the last steps during upgrade or downgrade,
SQL> Rem this script will validate all remaining invalid objects. It will
SQL> Rem also run a component validation procedure for each component in
SQL> Rem the database. See the README notes for your current release and
SQL> Rem the Oracle Database Upgrade book for more information about
SQL> Rem using utlrp.sql
SQL> Rem
SQL> Rem Although invalid objects are automatically re-validated when used,
SQL> Rem it is useful to run this script after an upgrade or downgrade and
SQL> Rem after applying a patch. This minimizes latencies caused by
SQL> Rem on-demand recompilation. Oracle strongly recommends running this
SQL> Rem script after upgrades, downgrades and patches.
SQL> Rem
SQL> Rem NOTES
SQL> Rem * This script must be run using SQL*PLUS.
SQL> Rem * You must be connected AS SYSDBA to run this script.
SQL> Rem * There should be no other DDL on the database while running the
SQL> Rem script. Not following this recommendation may lead to deadlocks.

SQL> Rem NAME
SQL> Rem utlprp.sql - Recompile invalid objects in the database
SQL> Rem
SQL> Rem DESCRIPTION
SQL> Rem This script recompiles invalid objects in the database.
SQL> Rem
SQL> Rem This script is typically used to recompile invalid objects
SQL> Rem remaining at the end of a database upgrade or downgrade.
SQL> Rem
SQL> Rem Although invalid objects are automatically recompiled on demand,
SQL> Rem running this script ahead of time will reduce or eliminate
SQL> Rem latencies due to automatic recompilation.
SQL> Rem
SQL> Rem This script is a wrapper based on the UTL_RECOMP package.
SQL> Rem UTL_RECOMP provides a more general recompilation interface,
SQL> Rem including options to recompile objects in a single schema. Please
SQL> Rem see the documentation for package UTL_RECOMP for more details.
SQL> Rem
SQL> Rem INPUTS
SQL> Rem The degree of parallelism for recompilation can be controlled by
SQL> Rem providing a parameter to this script. If this parameter is 0 or
SQL> Rem NULL, UTL_RECOMP will automatically determine the appropriate
SQL> Rem level of parallelism based on Oracle parameters cpu_count and
SQL> Rem parallel_threads_per_cpu. If the parameter is 1, sequential
SQL> Rem recompilation is used. Please see the documentation for package
SQL> Rem UTL_RECOMP for more details.

The fixup scripts have been run and resovled 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.

DOC> The following PL/SQL block invokes UTL_RECOMP to recompile invalid
DOC> objects in the database. Recompilation time is proportional to the
DOC> number of invalid objects in the database, so this command may take
DOC> a long time to execute on a database with a large number of invalid
DOC> objects.
DOC>
DOC> Use the following queries to track recompilation progress:
DOC>
DOC> 1. Query returning the number of invalid objects remaining. This
DOC> number should decrease with time.
DOC> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM obj$ WHERE status IN (4, 5, 6);
DOC>
DOC> 2. Query returning the number of objects compiled so far. This number
DOC> should increase with time.
DOC> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM UTL_RECOMP_COMPILED;
DOC>
DOC> This script automatically chooses serial or parallel recompilation
DOC> based on the number of CPUs available (parameter cpu_count) multiplied
DOC> by the number of threads per CPU (parameter parallel_threads_per_cpu).
DOC> On RAC, this number is added across all RAC nodes.
DOC>
DOC> UTL_RECOMP uses DBMS_SCHEDULER to create jobs for parallel
DOC> recompilation. Jobs are created without instance affinity so that they
DOC> can migrate across RAC nodes. Use the following queries to verify
DOC> whether UTL_RECOMP jobs are being created and run correctly:
DOC>
DOC> 1. Query showing jobs created by UTL_RECOMP
DOC> SELECT job_name FROM dba_scheduler_jobs
DOC> WHERE job_name like 'UTL_RECOMP_SLAVE_%';
DOC>
DOC> 2. Query showing UTL_RECOMP jobs that are running
DOC> SELECT job_name FROM dba_scheduler_running_jobs
DOC> WHERE job_name like 'UTL_RECOMP_SLAVE_%';
