Upgrading 8.1.7 to 9.2.0

Posted by on May 28, 2007 No comments

This documentation shows how to upgrade Oracle Applications RDBMS version 8.1.7 to 9.2.0.

Step 1:        Go to Metalink and order or download the three CDs for 9.2.0.1, for the correct platform

Step 2:        Shutdown the application tier services and the database and listener services.

Step 3:        The current RDBMS top is proddb/8.1.7. Create a new RDBMS top directory:

mkdir /raid01/oratest/oracle/proddb/9.2.0

Step 4:        Set the following environment variables:

ORACLE_HOME=/raid01/oratest/oracle/proddb/9.2.0

ORACLE_SID=TEST

Step 5:        Ensure that any TNSLSNR variables are unset.

Step 6:        If the installation was previously cancelled half-way, deinstall the installed products and/or delete the files in 9.2.0:

cd /raid01/oratest/oracle/proddb/9.2.0

rm –rf *

Step 7:        When installing, use the following values:

Destination Name: TEST_920

Destination Path: /raid01/oratest/oracle/proddb/9.2.0

Begin installation.

Solution:-

c) Relinked all the modules (this process took 1 hr on each node)

d) Re-run the patch and successfully completed
