11g to 12c Manual Upgrade

Install 12c Home(12.1.0.1):
then


Backup the database(11g) before starting the upgrade process. In the event of a failure, you will need this backup to allow you to recreate your starting point.
To run the new Pre-Upgrade Information Tool, copy the "preupgrd.sql" and "utluppkg.sql" scripts from the 12c home to a location accessible by the database that needs upgrading. In this example I used a directory under "/tmp".
$ mkdir -p /tmp/upgrade
$ cp /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.1/db_1/rdbms/admin/preupgrd.sql /tmp/upgrade
$ cp /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.1/db_1/rdbms/admin/utluppkg.sql /tmp/upgrade
Make sure the ORACLE_BASE is set and run the "preupgrd.sql" script from SQL*Plus.
$ export ORACLE_SID=orcl
$ ORAENV_ASK=NO
$ . oraenv
$ ORAENV_ASK=YES
$ cd /tmp/upgrade
$ sqlplus / as sysdba

 The following are *** ERROR LEVEL CONDITIONS *** that must be addressed
                    prior to attempting your upgrade.
            Failure to do so will result in a failed upgrade.

           You MUST resolve the above errors prior to upgrade

      ************************************************************

SQL>
The Pre-Upgrade Information Tool produces 3 scripts.
  • preupgrade.log : The results of all the checks performed. You need to check this to see if it is safe to continue with the upgrade.
  • preupgrade_fixups.sql : A fixup script that should be run before the upgrade.
  • postupgrade_fixups.sql : A fixup script that should be run after the upgrade.
Assuming there are no show-stoppers in the "preupgrade.log" file, run the "preupgrade_fixups.sql" script. Any changes it can't perform are flagged as "MANUAL ACTION SUGGESTED".

WARNING: --> Process Count may be too low

     Database has a maximum process count of 150 which is lower than the
     default value of 300 for this release.
     You should update your processes value prior to the upgrade
     to a value of at least 300.
     For example:

     In Oracle Database 12c, Database Control is removed during

     can be done prior to upgrading using the following steps after
     copying rdbms/admin/emremove.sql from the new Oracle home
   - Stop EM Database Control:
    $> emctl stop dbconsole

   - Connect to the Database using the SYS account AS SYSDBA:

   SET ECHO ON;
   SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
   @emremove.sql

If the "preupgrade.log" file contains references to deprecated initialization parameters, make the suggested changes to the parameters now before continuing.
Edit the "/etc/oratab" file, setting the new ORACLE_HOME value.
orcl:/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.1/db_1:Y
Make sure the environment is set to the 12c home.
$ export ORACLE_SID=orcl
$ ORAENV_ASK=NO
$ . oraenv
$ ORAENV_ASK=YES
Start the database in upgrade mode.
$ sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL> STARTUP UPGRADE;
SQL> EXIT;
Run the new Parallel Upgrade Utility (catctl.pl).
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
$ $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl catctl.pl catupgrd.sql
You can alter the level of parallelism using the "-n" parameter. For example, the following command runs the upgrade with a parallel level of 8.
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
$ $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl catctl.pl -n 8 catupgrd.sql
You can see an example of the output from this utility here.
Startup the upgraded database and run the "utlu121s.sql" script to check the summary of the upgrade results.

You can see the upgrade failed for the "Oracle OLAP API" section, which is a feature we removed before the upgrade, so it is OK to continue.
If we had no errors, the "catuppst.sql" script would have been run as part of the upgrade. Since we did have errors, we need to run it manually.
SQL> @catuppst.sql
If the "postupgrade_fixups.sql" file contained any recommendations, run it now.
SQL> @/u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/orcl/preupgrade/postupgrade_fixups.sql
The following items are not essential, but the upgrade manual suggests it is a best practice to run them.
-- The following item is probably included in your postupgrade_fixups.sql script.
EXECUTE DBMS_STATS.gather_fixed_objects_stats;

-- Recompile invalid objects.
@utlrp.sql

-- Check for newly invalid objects.
@utluiobj.sql

-- Run again to check the final outcome of the upgrade.
@utlu121s.sql
The upgraded database is now available.
