Re: Unbreakable, my buns. Upgrade to 9.2/w2k

2003-05-29 Thread Thomas Day

I was not able to upgrade an 8.1.7.0 database to 9.2.0.1.0 on Win2K.  I had
to create a new Oracle home, install 9.2, and clone the database in 9.2.
OUI did not upgrade successfully.

For those of you who have upgraded to 9.2 on w2k:


How many of you have ended up with such a hosed server that you had to
completely wipe Oracle off of it and start with a fresh install (9.2)?  It
was spectacular!  I ended up in this situation and I sure hope it's
something I did or didn't do.  I sure don't have time for this when I
upgrade my production databases.  How I long for those days wading through
problems in unix... it was so much easier and more enjoyable...  I will say
this was definately a learning experience.


And Tom Mercadante, your document worked like a charm, and saved my a$$...
Muchas Gracias!

RE: Unbreakable, my buns. Upgrade to 9.2/w2k

2003-05-29 Thread Jared . Still
As much as I prefer the command line do it yourself approach, I did have 
one
occasion recently where I did use the GUI, and it worked fine.

In the process of upgrading several 8.0.4 databases to 8.1.7, I had 
trouble with
one database.  Sorry, can't recall the details, but I went over the 
checklist several
times and am fairly sure I did all the steps correctly. 

For some reason, that one would not upgrade.  ( As I said, don't recall 
the error
that was occurring. )

Used the GUI, upgrade without a problem.

All the others were done via command line, not sure why that one was a 
problem, but
the GUI seemed to know something not included in the manual method.

Kind of like the (unofficial) Bond movie, "Never Say Never Again".  :)

Maybe because it was a dev box? Oracle didn't think it worthwhile to

Re: Unbreakable, my buns. Upgrade to 9.2/w2k

Title: Unbreakable, my buns. Upgrade to 9.2/w2k



For my OID testing I decided to go with 
9.2.0.3.
I installed 9.2.0.1 (software only) and the upgraded 
to 9.2.0.3 with no problems.
Since I also documented the process so I will have all the 
steps down when I will do it in production I did it twice.
Since I wanted to avoid upgrading the OID database I built 
it only after I upgraded the software.

  For those of you who have upgraded to 9.2 on 
  w2k: 
  How many of you have ended up with such a hosed 
  server that you had to completely wipe Oracle off of it and start with a fresh 
  install (9.2)?  It was spectacular!  I ended up in this situation 
  and I sure hope it's something I did or didn't do.  I sure don't have 
  time for this when I upgrade my production databases.  How I long for 
  those days wading through problems in unix... it was so much easier and more 
  enjoyable...  I will say this was definately a learning experience.

RE: Unbreakable, my buns. Upgrade to 9.2/w2k .... repost

Title: Unbreakable, my buns. Upgrade to 9.2/w2k



Hi 
Stefan, 
 
I 
don't know how much  this is, but I've seen several comments on the 
list stating that 9.2.0.3 is the version to be at.  I'm going to that patch 
level from 8.1.7.4.  You are right, the docs are confusing.  

 
I've 
found that comments from our esteemed colleagues can at times be more valuable 
than the doco.  In this case, doubly so.  
 
Go 
boldly forth to 9.2.0.3. 
 
Lisa 
M.

  Maybe that's a good opportunity to repost a question before I apply 
  patchsets:
   
  
  I actually planned on applying the Patchset to lift 9.2.0.1.0 up to 
  9.2.0.3.0.
  But while downloading, I saw that 9.2.0.3.0 came out on April, 7th, while 
  
  there was 9.2.0.2.1 from April, 12th. In the Readme, it 
  says:
  # Earliest version of the product that this patch may be applied to: 
  9.2.0.2.1 
  So, what's the way to go ? Apply 9.2.0.2.0 patchset plus patches first ? 
  
  Or forget about 9.2.0xxx and just go with 9.2.0.3.0 ?
   
  
  Stefan

I 
have upgraded 16 databases ( manually using the scripts and procedures in 
metablink as a guide ) with very few problems and only then on the 1st ones 
I did.
We 
were going from 8174 ro 92021 on Win2k SP3.
