  8. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs DATABASE

  9. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs Oracle Bug 5874989: • Data pump will cause data corruption Workaround • Applying patch 5874989 • Upgrade to Oracle 10.2.0.4 • See Metalink 468259.1 for more details

  10. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs Oracle Bug 5875568: • Data pump import will cause ORA-6502 to occur Workaround • Applying patch 5875568 • Upgrade to Oracle 10.2.0.4 • See Metalink 5875568.8 for more details

  11. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs Oracle Bug 5523375: • Data pump will not export disabled primary keys. Workaround • Enable all your primary keys on the source database before exporting. • See Metalink 5523375.8 for more details

  12. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs Oracle Bug 5472417: EXPDP on RAC will fail if set PARALLEL more than 1 • ORA-39014: One or more workers have prematurely exited • ORA-39029:worker 2 with process name “DW005” prematurely terminated Workaround • Use Export DataPump job with PARALLEL=1 (default) • Run Export DataPump job When only one instance is started in RAC • Apply the one-off patch available ( Patch 5472417 ) Note: • All directires has to be accessable from all the nodes, in other word, all the export directories have to be on shared storage

  13. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs Oracle Bug 4886367: • If a database was created with NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=CHAR, then the database export will get an error message. Oracle patching also gets the error. Workaround • Set NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=BYTE before creating a database, and reset it to CHAR after the database is created. • See Metalink 144808.1 for more details

  14. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs • Oracle Bug: No number specified • Alter system set NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=CHAR scope=both will not take effect until database reboot, even though the scope says both and the command did not return any error Workaround • Reboot the database after issuing the command

  15. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs Create banner database in the following steps: • Create database with • NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=Bytes • NLS_CHARACTERSET=AL32UTF8 • NLS_NCHAR_CHACTERSET=AL16UTF16 • After database created • Alter system set NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=Char • Bounce database • Start your import

  16. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs Oracle Bug 3026420: • Oracle export/import utility will preserve the length semantics of the original data Workaround • Precreate all your tables which the right length semantics before importing your data • Avoiding using export/import utility, using expdp/impdp instead

  17. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs The following grants got lost during the importing of source data: • grant execute on dbms_pipe to baninst1; • grant execute on dbms_flashback to baninst1; • grant execute on dbms_lock to baninst1; • grant select on dba_policies to saturn; • grant execute on dbms_crysp to bansecr; What grants/how many grants need to be applied depends on your system and modules

  18. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs • If you use OMF (Oracle managed datafiles), all tablespaces have to be created in Banner 8 database before any import can occur • Watch out for your NLS_LANG settings • Watch out for your Sql loader character set

  19. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs • After database character set change, your application using chr() function will fail • Name of database are limited to 8 bytes • Name of database links limited to 128 bytes • Password can only be single bytes character

  20. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs INB Server

  21. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs Banner HR Defect :1-41Y5EF • Banner 8 full install not shipping latest paycmpl.sh Workaround • Re-download paycmpl.sh • See 1-41Y5EF  for details on Banner help site

  22. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs Banner HR Defect :1-2OVB46 • Form shadgmq and shqterm would not compile on OAS 10.1.2.2, because SQQOLIB.fmb link was there, but SOQOLIB.FMB is not Workaround • ln -f soqolib.fmb SOQOLIB.fmb • See 1-2OVHZU  for details on Banner help site

  23. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs Banner General Defect :1-3K60ZC • Strings not translatable in gjarslt.fmb Banner General Defect :1-3F9L53 • Seveal objects’s strings not translatable in gjarslt.fmb Banner General Defect :1-3CTAL5 • Goatpad.fmb has navigation problem

  24. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs Create user through GSASECR will fail at RAC environment

  25. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs Iit is all because of this ugly SQL: select distinct(profile), DECODE( (SELECT limit from  dba_profiles b where b.profile = a.profile AND resource_name =   'PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME'), 'DEFAULT',(select limit from dba_profiles c where   c.profile = 'DEFAULT' AND resource_name = 'PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME'), (select   limit from dba_profiles b where b.profile = a.profile AND resource_name =   'PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME')) PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME, DECODE( (SELECT limit from   dba_profiles b where b.profile = a.profile AND resource_name =   'PASSWORD_GRACE_TIME'), 'DEFAULT',(select limit from dba_profiles c where   c.profile = 'DEFAULT' AND resource_name = 'PASSWORD_GRACE_TIME'), (select   limit from dba_profiles b where b.profile = a.profile AND resource_name =   'PASSWORD_GRACE_TIME')) PASSWORD_GRACE_TIME,

  26. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs DECODE( (SELECT limit from   dba_profiles b where b.profile = a.profile AND resource_name =   'PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME'), 'DEFAULT',(select limit from dba_profiles c where   c.profile = 'DEFAULT' AND resource_name = 'PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME'), (select   limit from dba_profiles b where b.profile = a.profile AND resource_name =   'PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME')) PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME, DECODE( (SELECT limit from   dba_profiles b where b.profile = a.profile AND resource_name =   'PASSWORD_REUSE_MAX'), 'DEFAULT',(select limit from dba_profiles c where   c.profile = 'DEFAULT' AND resource_name = 'PASSWORD_REUSE_MAX'), (select   limit from dba_profiles b where b.profile = a.profile AND resource_name =   'PASSWORD_REUSE_MAX')) PASSWORD_REUSE_MAX, DECODE( (SELECT limit from   dba_profiles b where b.profile = a.profile AND resource_name =   'PASSWORD_REUSE_TIME'), 'DEFAULT',(select limit from dba_profiles c where   c.profile = 'DEFAULT' AND resource_name = 'PASSWORD_REUSE_TIME'), (select   limit from dba_profiles b where b.profile = a.profile AND resource_name =   'PASSWORD_REUSE_TIME')) PASSWORD_REUSE_TIME,

  27. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs DECODE( (SELECT limit from   dba_profiles b where b.profile = a.profile AND resource_name =   'FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS'), 'DEFAULT',(select limit from dba_profiles c where   c.profile = 'DEFAULT' AND resource_name = 'FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS'), (select   limit from dba_profiles b where b.profile = a.profile AND resource_name =  'FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS')) FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS, (SELECT value FROM gv$parameter WHERE name = 'resource_limit') TIME_LIMITS_ACTIVE, DECODE(   (SELECT limit from dba_profiles b where b.profile = a.profile AND   resource_name = 'CONNECT_TIME'), 'DEFAULT',(select limit from dba_profiles   c where c.profile = 'DEFAULT' AND resource_name = 'CONNECT_TIME'), (select   limit from dba_profiles b where b.profile = a.profile AND resource_name =   'CONNECT_TIME')) CONNECT_TIME, DECODE( (SELECT limit from dba_profiles b   where b.profile = a.profile AND resource_name = 'IDLE_TIME'), 'DEFAULT',   (select limit from dba_profiles c where c.profile = 'DEFAULT' AND   resource_name = 'IDLE_TIME'), (select limit from dba_profiles b where   b.profile = a.profile AND resource_name = 'IDLE_TIME')) IDLE_TIME FROM   dba_profiles a order by profile

  28. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs Workaround • SQL>create synonym gv$parameter for v$parameter; • We are still working working Sungard to get this issue resolved

  29. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs Appworx

  30. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs • Appworx has an issue with setting NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=CHAR • Workaround • Keep database at BYTE, but you might have problems to get multi bytes data across db link • Insert into aw_master_stmts values (‘alter session set nls_length_semantics=‘’byte’’’,4);

  31. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs SQL Developer

  32. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs • Appworx has an issue with setting NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=CHAR • Workaround • Keep database at BYTE, but you might have problems to get multi bytes data across db link • Insert into aw_master_stmts values (‘alter session set nls_length_semantics=‘’byte’’’,4);

  33. Upgrade Pitfalls and Bugs • Sql Developer 1.5.0.51 has an issue with setting NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=CHAR • Workaround • Get the lastest Sql Developer
