Introduction
1 Introduction
This documentation explains how to upgrade the Oracle database for the SAP system on the UNIX
operating system:
z From Oracle version 9.2.0 or Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.4)
z To Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2)
CAUTION
SAP certifies Oracle 10.2 only from release 10.2.0.2. SAP does not certify nor support Oracle
10.2.0.1.
Make sure that your target release is Oracle 10.2.0.2 or later.
This documentation only covers the upgrade from Oracle 9.2.0.4 or later including Oracle 10.1.0.4
to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2).
NOTE
Oracle offers and supports direct database upgrades from Oracle 8.1.7 to Oracle 10.2 although we
do not recommend this.
We do not describe direct upgrades in this documentation. SAP has not tested and validated the
direct upgrade path from Oracle 8.1.7 to Oracle 10.2. If you intend to perform a direct upgrade
from Oracle 8.1.7 to Oracle 10.2, see the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) upgrade
documentation.
You can obtain the Oracle documentation at the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) website.
You use the tools Oracle Universal Installer (OUI), Oracle SQL*Plus, and Oracle Database Upgrade
Assistant (DBUA) to perform the upgrade.
CAUTION
Make sure you have the latest version of this document. You can always find this as follows:
http://service.sap.com/instguides Database Upgrades Oracle .
NOTE
In this document we use <DBSID> for the database instance identifier and <SAPSID> for the SAP
system identifier. These can be different if your:
z Database system uses Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC)
z SAP system uses Multiple Components in One Database (MCOD) Implementation

RECOMMENDATION
Before the production upgrade, make sure that you perform a test upgrade on your backup system,
either with database upgrade assistant (DBUA) (recommended) or manually.
1.
2.
3.
4.
You check the original version of your database [page 9].

You check the hardware and software requirements [page 10].
You review the Oracle-specified kernel parameters and shell limits [page 11].
You check additional requirements for the upgrade [page 11].
2.1 Checking the Original Version of Your Database

You need to check the original version of the database you want to upgrade.
CAUTION
This SAP upgrade documentation only covers the standard upgrade from Oracle 9.2.0.4 or later
to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) using the Oracle Database Upgrade Assistant (DBUA).
Process
In the following special cases you need to obtain more information:

!!a If you are upgrading from Oracle 8.1.7 or an earlier release, read the Oracle Database 10g Release 2
(10.2) upgrade documentation for information on the special steps required. Although Oracle
supports direct upgrades from Oracle 8.1.7 to Oracle 10.2.0, we recommend customers running
Oracle 8.1.7 to first upgrade to Oracle 9.2.0 and then to Oracle 10.2.0.
!!a If you are upgrading from Oracle 9.2.0 to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) in manual mode.
!!a If the source database runs Oracle 9.2.0.3, 9.2.0.2, or 9.2.0.1, you need to update the source database
to patch set 9.2.0.4 or later. The DBUA checks for the source release of the Oracle 9.2 database. If
the source database runs on a lower version than Oracle 9.2.0.4 you cannot proceed.
For more information in these special cases, see the documentation for the Oracle Database 10g Release
2 (10.2) upgrade at the Oracle website.
RECOMMENDATION
If the source database is Oracle 10.1 we strongly recommend that it is at least version Oracle 10.1.0.4.

Preparation
3.1
Checking the Correct UNIX Users, Groups, and Authorizations
3 Preparation
You have to complete the following preparations:

1. You check the correct UNIX users, groups, and authorizations [page 13].
2. You check the directory structure [page 14].
3. You run the pre-upgrade script [page 15].
4. You check the prerequisites for the Oracle Universal Installer [page 16].
5. You check the SAP System prerequisites [page 17].
6. If required, you migrate to automatic undo management [page 18].
7. If required, you stop Statspack reports [page 18].
8. You check the SYSTEM and SYSAUX tablespace for freespace [page 19].
9. If required, you check for invalid database objects [page 19].
10. You install the Oracle Instant Client [page 20].
3.1 Checking the Correct UNIX Users, Groups, and

Authorizations
You need to check that the ora<dbsid> user has write authorization for the /oracle directory, since
the ora<dbsid> user performs the database installation.
Procedure
1.
Enter the following commands:

touch /oracle/write_test
rm /oracle/write_test
If the user ora<dbsid> does not have write authorization, log on to your system with the user
root and enter the command:
chgrp dba /oracle
chmod 775 /oracle
2.
Check if you are able to start an XTERM as the Oracle user since this is the user who starts the
OUI.
Enter the following command with the user ora<dbsid>:

Preparation
3.2
Checking the Directory Structure
3.2 Checking the Directory Structure

You need to verify the availability and correctness of the following Oracle directories:
^5 stage directory
^5 Oracle inventory directory
^5 Home directory
Procedure
1.
Check the Oracle stage directory, usually called /oracle/stage.

If this directory does not exist, create it manually. If it already exists it might contain software stages
from previous installations or upgrades.
1. For the upgrade to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) create the staging directory /oracle/
stage/102_64.
2. Make sure that you have around 2 GB free space for the SAR files. To extract all RDBMS SAR
files requires around 5 GB of free space in the staging directory but for this upgrade you only
require the SAR file containing the database component. You can find the SAR file in
OR110264.SAR for 64-bit platforms or OR110232.SAR for 32-bit platforms.
If there is not enough space, you can delete previous stage directories.
3. When the RDBMS CDs have been mounted, use the SAP tool SAPCAR to extract all the
RDBMS CDs to /oracle/stage/102_64 as user ora<sid>.
For example, the following command extracts a single CD:
SAPCAR xvf OR110264.SAR
After you have finished the extraction of all the RDBMS CDs, the following subdirectories
exist under /oracle/stage/102_64:
^5
^5
^5
^5
^5
database
client
clusterware
companion
gateways
NOTE
4.
14/48
For some platforms Disk1 and Disk2 might be created as subdirectories of database,
client, clusterware, companion, and gateways.
The gateways subdirectory is not created for the following platforms:
^5 Linux on Power
^5 HP_UX on Itanium
^5 Solaris x86_64
After extraction of the Oracle software to /oracle/stage/102_64 do the following:
1. Rename the original SAP folder by performing one of the following:

2.
You now see the directory SAP extracted with the updated version of SAP-specific files.
Check the Oracle inventory directory.
The Oracle inventory directory maintains the inventory of all Oracle software installed on the
system. The path to the Oracle inventory directory is mentioned in the file oraInst.loc, which
you can find under /var/opt/oracle or under /etc.
One of the entries of oraInst.loc or inventory_location points to the location of the Oracle
inventory. When you execute the OUI for the first time on the system, the OUI prompts you for
the path to the inventory directory. The default location for the Oracle inventory is $ORACLE_BASE/
oraInventory.
NOTE
3.
This applies only to systems where the OUI has been executed for the first time. The OUI
automatically creates theoraInst.loc and the inventory directory. You do not need to create
these directories manually.
Create the empty Oracle home directory before starting the OUI.
You need to create the Oracle home directory before you can start the Oracle software installation.
The Oracle Home directory is normally /oracle/<DBSID>/102_64.
3.3 Running the Pre-Upgrade Script

You run the Oracle pre-upgrade information tool. This tool provides information on the existing preupgrade database. It also suggests any changes that you need to make before you start the upgrade.
NOTE
You always execute this script as the ora<dbsid> user connected to the database as sysdba in the
Oracle 9i environment.

Prerequisites
You are logged on as user ora<dbsid> in the Oracle 9i environment with the database also started up.
For more information about how to extract the script from the Oracle 10.2.0.4 patchset software without
installing the patchset software, see SAP Note 1237838.
Procedure
Execute the following commands:

sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect / as sysdba
SQL> spool /tmp/pre_upgrade.log
SQL> @/oracle/stage/102_64/database/SAP/utlu102i.sql
or:
SQL> @/oracle/stage/102_64/database/Disk1/SAP/utlu102i.sql
SQL> spool off
SQL> exit
Result
You can check the results of the pre-upgrade script by looking at the log file /tmp/pre_upgrade.log.
CAUTION
Make the changes listed in the log file, otherwise you might have problems during the upgrade.
If the log file from the pre-upgrade script reports stale optimizer statistics for the Oracle 9.2 database,
you need to execute the script gather_optimizer_statistics.sql attached to SAP Note 819830. This
applies only to the Oracle 9.2 database.
3.4 Checking the Prerequisites for the Oracle Universal

Installer
You must check the prerequisites for the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI).

If the OUI complains that the operating system version is not certified or supported, you can ignore
this.
If OUI reports missing OS patches, you need to apply these before you can continue.
3.5 Checking the SAP System Prerequisites

You must check the prerequisites for the SAP system (ABAP) release 6.40 and lower. You need to:
1. Update the database library (dbsl) to the latest patch level
2. Apply a correction to the ABAP system
This is necessary to make the SAP system compatible for the Oracle Database 10g release checks.
3. If the SAP kernel uses the Oracle 9.2 client software (this is the case if you use the 640 or EXT
kernels), you also need to update the Oracle client software to at least release 9.2.0.7. If you do not
update the Oracle 9.2 client software, core dumps in the SAP system after the upgrade to Oracle
Database 10g.
4. You need to execute an SQL script that creates a new role on the database. This is necessary due
to changes to the Oracle CONNECT role in Oracle 10.2.
5. You must upgrade Java systems to at least Service Pack 13 before you can upgrade to Oracle Database
10g.
Procedure
1.
Download the latest version of dbsl (dboraslib.so, dboraslib.sl, or dboraslib.o) for your
release from:
2.
Check the level of your Basis support package using this table:

Migrating to Automatic Undo Management
3.
Download the latest version of the Oracle Client software OCL92064.SAR or OCL92032.SAR
from:
This is described in SAP Note 886783.

Make sure that you install the newest version of the Oracle client software on all application servers,
including the database server if there is an SAP application running on the database server.
NOTE
4.
If you cannot update the client software because there are several other application servers
running on the same host, see SAP Note 964783.
Execute the SQL script sapconn_role.sql as follows:
cp /oracle/stage/102_64/database/SAP/sapconn_role.sql $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
or:
cp /oracle/stage/102_64/database/Disk1/SAP/sapconn_role.sql $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
sqlplus /nolog @sapconn_role
3.6 Migrating to Automatic Undo Management

This step is only relevant if your database still uses manual undo management (rollback tablespace and
rollback segments).
If your database still uses rollback segments for undo management we strongly recommend you to
migrate to automatic undo management before starting the database update to Oracle database 10g.
Otherwise you might run into errors.
Procedure
1.
2.
Read SAP Note 600141, which is the central note describing automatic undo management. This
note also gives you an overview of the concepts involved.
Follow the step-by-step instructions in the note to migrate to automatic undo management.
3.7 Stopping Statspack Reports

This step deletes the Statspack jobs with DBMS_JOB.REMOVE.
Prerequisites
This step is only relevant if the Statspack package has been activated on the database for monitoring
purposes. For more information about Statspack, see SAP Note 717484.
Procedure
1.
Log on as the user under which the statspack jobs run (usually PERFSTAT):

This displays a list of the jobs that are currently entered under the user PERFSTAT.
Delete all jobs with the print job number <jobnr>:
SQL> connect PERFSTAT/<pwd>
SQL> execute dbms_job.remove( <jobnr> );
3.8 Checking the SYSTEM and SYSAUX Tablespace for

Freespace
You need to make sure that the SYSTEM and SYSAUX tablespaces have at least 750 MB freespace. This is
necessary due to a bug in the Oracle database that can cause the Oracle Database Upgrade Assistant
(DBUA) to underestimate the required freespace.
NOTE
The SYSAUX tablespace is available only if the source database is already Oracle 10.1.
If your source database is Oracle 9.2, there is no SYSAUX tablespace. In this case, you can ignore
references to the SYSAUX tablespace in this section.
Procedure
Check if the SYSTEM or SYSAUX tablespace have enough freespace.

You can check this by executing one of the following commands as the ora<dbsid> user:
4 brspace f dbshow c tsinfo s SYSTEM
4 brspace f dbshow c tsinfo s SYSAUX
If the free space is less than 750 MB, use your preferred database administration tool to increase the size
by using one of the following options:
4 Setting the AUTOEXTEND option for the existing datafile to ON.
4 Adding an additional datafile.
4 Resizing the existing datafile.
NOTE
For systems that use raw devices for the datafiles, the AUTOEXTEND option might not work
because of the fixed size of the raw devices. In this case you might need to add another datafile
by adding a new volume or partition on the operating system.
3.9 Checking for Invalid Database Objects

This optional step lets you check if there are any invalid database objects before the database upgrade
to Oracle database 10g starts. After the upgrade it helps you distinguish database objects that have
become invalid due to the upgrade process from those that were already invalid to start with.

SQL> spool off
2.
A list of invalid objects before the upgrade is now generated.

Check the list of invalid objects after the upgrade.
If any objects in the list from before the upgrade are also in the list of invalid objects after the
upgrade, you can be sure that this is not due to the upgrade process.
RECOMMENDATION
If possible, delete or compile any invalid objects before the upgrade.

CAUTION
If there is a table called PLAN_TABLE either in the SYS or SYSTEM schema, you must drop it with
the following commands before starting the database upgrade:
SQL> drop table "SYS"."PLAN_TABLE";
SQL> drop table "SYSTEM"."PLAN_TABLE";
3.10 Installing the Oracle Instant Client

You have to extract the Oracle Instant Client software. This is necessary if the JDBC driver location [page
41] refers to the Oracle Instant Client directory, rather than to the Oracle home directory.
The Instant Client is also needed for BR*TOOLS Release 700, which you install during the post-upgrade
phase.

ora<dbsid> because this user installs the Oracle software.
NOTE
For more information about changes to the environment of the SAP user <sapsid>adm, see Changing
the Environment for the <sapsid>adm User [page 40].
Prerequisites
You set the environment variables below by editing the files .dbenv_<host>.sh
and .dbenv_<host>.csh in the home directory of ora<dbsid>.
CAUTION
Do not make the changes to the environment permanent as long as the old database is still
running. You make them permanent in the post-upgrade phase. We recommend you to back up
the old environment files before making the changes permanent.
Procedure

4.1.6 Installing Required Interim Patches

After the database software installation [page 21], you need to install required interim patches, using the
Oracle tool OPatch. You need these interim patches in addition to the current patch set.
RECOMMENDATION
You can install all the required interim patches in a single step using the Oracle tool MOPatch,
which you can find at SAP Note 1027012.
MOPatch can also download patches directly from SAP Service Marketplace and check for any
potential patch conflicts.
Prerequisites
k#Vg Make sure you have already installed the current patch set [page 26].
k#Vg Check SAP Notes 871096 and 1137346 to find the list of required patches to be installed.
k#Vg Check SAP Note 839182 for instructions on how to use OPatch.
Procedure
1.
2.
Log on at the operating system level as the ora<dbsid> user.

Install the patches, following the instructions in SAP Note 839182.
NOTE
3.
You can apply the patches in any order.

We recommend that you first copy the patches to a directory called ora_patches in
$ORACLE_HOME.
After all the patches have been successfully applied, you can query the status with the following
command:
$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lsinventory
This command lists all the patches that have been applied to the software installation.
4.1.7 Copying and Adapting the SQL*Net Files

After the database software installation, you must copy and modify the old SQL*Net files, that is,
listener.ora, sqlnet.ora, and tnsnames.ora.
Procedure
1.
2.
Log on as user ora<dbsid>.

If ora<dbsid> has environment variable TNS_ADMIN set, do the following:
2009-08-25
PUBLIC
27/48
4.1
1.
3.
4.
Choose a new location for the new SQL*Net parameter files and set TNS_ADMIN to point to the
new location <new_TNS_ADMIN>.
2. Copy the SQL*Net parameter files from the old location <old_TNS_ADMIN> to
<new_TNS_ADMIN>.
3. Edit the new SQL*Net files by adapting all file paths for the new directory. Be sure to adapt the
value of ORACLE_HOME in the listener.ora file.
If ora<dbsid> has not set the TNS_ADMIN environment variable, Oracle first searches in /etc, in
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin for the SQL*Net parameter files. Choose which of the following
applies to your installation:
Bcx The SQL*Net parameter files are located in directory /etc:
1. Make a backup copy of the files.
2. Edit the new SQL*Net files by adapting all file paths for the new directory. Be sure to adapt
the value of ORACLE_HOME in the listener.ora file.
Bcx The SQL*Net parameter files are located in <old_ORACLE_HOME>/network/admin:
1. Copy the SQL*Net parameter files from <old_ORACLE_HOME> to <new_ORACLE_HOME>.
2. Edit the new SQL*Net files by adapting all file paths for the new directory. Be sure to adapt
the value of ORACLE_HOME in the listener.ora file.
Since your database is still running in the old environment, do not start the listener with the new
listener.ora file at this point.
4.1.8 Backing Up the Oracle Database

You must have a complete and usable database backup otherwise you might lose data.
We recommend you to back up all your Oracle 9i archive logs before you start the upgrade. The upgrade
changes the parameter log_archive_format to 10.2.0. After the upgrade has completed BRARCHIVE
cannot back up archive files from before the upgrade (that is, from Oracle 9i or earlier) because of this
change to log_archive_format.
Procedure
1.
Create a complete database backup and back up any archive logs from Oracle 9i.
RECOMMENDATION
Before backing up the archive logs, switch the log files with the following SQL command:
alert system switch logfile
2.
3.
Make sure that you do a log file switch for all online redo log files.
Check that the backup is usable. If for any reason you have problems during the upgrade you must
be able to restore the database from this backup.
If you want to separate the alert log file of Oracle 9i from that of Oracle Database 10g Release 2
(10.2), you can move the alert log file to a different name with the following command:

To upgrade the database structure [page 29], you need to check the entry for the oratab file.
Prerequisites
You can find the oratab file as follows:
2009-08-25
PUBLIC
29/48
4.2
v
RSkj7mtO$sJWr[u&=f
b|uizR?5 9m"r

XSk37m8O$saJWNTuN={&Db|xizt?M
v
RSkj7mtO$sJWTu=
/var/opt/oracle
XSk37m8O$sJ
Procedure
1.
Make sure that the oratab file contains the following entry:
<DBSID>:<old_ORACLE_HOME>:N
Where old_ORACLE_HOME stands for the path to the old oracle software installation.
EXAMPLE
2.
The entry for a system with a <DBSID> equal to C11 is as follows:

C11:/oracle/C11/920_64:N.
If this entry does not exist, insert it using a text editor.
4.2.2 Starting the Database Upgrade Assistant

To upgrade the database structure [page 29] you need to start the Oracle Database Upgrade Assistant (DBUA).
The DBUA tool is a graphical tool that leads you step by step through the upgrade.
Prerequisites
CAUTION
Make sure that you start the DBUA in the Oracle 10.2 user environment. To do this, carefully
check the first point below.
v Confirm that the following environment variables point to Oracle 10.2 directories:
v ORACLE_HOME points to /oracle/<DBSID>/102_64
v PATH
v ORA_NLS10
v LD_LIBRARY_PATH orSHLIB_PATH or LIBPATH
v Before you start the DBUA make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is correctly set.
Procedure
1.
You start the DBUA:

cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
./dbua
2.
Respond appropriately to the DBUA dialogs:

The Welcome screen provides information about the upgrade assistant
1. Choose Next to continue.
30/48
PUBLIC
2009-08-25
4.2
2.
The Databases screen lets you select the database to be upgraded.

Select the correct database and choose Next.
The DBUA now analyzes the database to be upgraded, performs pre-upgrade checks, and issues
warnings if necessary. You can ignore warnings about the following:
R83 Stale optimizer statistics
R83 Changes to the Oracle CONNECT role
You need to analyze and act on other warnings.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend you to resolve warnings other than those listed above. Otherwise you
might later have problems during the actual upgrade.
3.
The SYSAUX Tablespaces screen lets you modify the attributes for the SYSAUX tablespace,
which is added automatically to all new Oracle Database 10g databases.
Make the following entries:
R83 Datafile Path: $SAPDATA_HOME/sapdata1/sysaux_1/sysaux.data1
NOTE
4.
5.
Make sure that you substitute the value for $SAPDATA_HOME with the full path name
for example, /oracle/<DBSID> in the above command.
You cannot use environment variables directly in the input field since the DBUA
cannot evaluate SAP-specific environment variables.
R83 Select Reuse Existing File Name.
R83 Enter 1000 MB in Size.
R83 Select AUTOEXTEND ON.
R83 Enter 100 MB in Increment.
R83 Enter 2000 MB in Maximum Size.
The Recompiling Invalid Objects screen lets you choose whether the DBUA has to
automatically recompile all PL/SQL modules after the upgrade. If the database server has
multiple CPUs, the DBUA automatically proposes the number of parallel processes to be
used for the recompilation.
The turn off archiving option means that archiving is switched off for the duration of the
upgrade so that the upgrade finishes faster.
Accept the default values, select Recompile invalid objects after the upgrade, turn off archiving for the
duration of the upgrade, and choose Next.
The Backup screen lets you specify whether you want the DBUA to back up the database.
Since you have already backed up the database, select I have already backed up my database and choose
Next.
The Management Options screen lets you set up the database so that it can be managed with the
Enterprise Manager.
2009-08-25
PUBLIC
31/48
4.2
3.
6. Make sure that Configure the database with Enterprise Manager is not selected and choose Next.
Before you start it, the DBUA displays a summary of the changes to be made. This includes the
warnings that you ignored or did not fix, components to be upgraded, parameters to be added,
removed, and changed after the upgrade.
Review the summary of changes and choose Back to make any final adjustments, if required.
NOTE
4.
5.
For a complete list of obsolete and deprecated parameters, see the documentation for Oracle
Database 10g Release 2 (10.2).
Start the database upgrade by choosing Finish.
The DBUA automatically removes the database initialization parameters that are now obsolete in
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2).
The upgrade process itself runs for some time, depending mainly on the size of the database and
the capacity of the hardware.
When the DBUA has completed successfully the results of the upgrade are displayed
Review the changes made and exit the DBUA.

Checking the Upgraded Database
5.2 Checking the Upgraded Database

You need to check the upgraded database.
Procedure
1.
Check that the database is now running with Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) software in an
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) environment by entering the following commands:
1. Log on to the database as the ora<sid> user.
2. Enter the following command to start SQLPLUS:
sqlplus / as sysdba
3.
Enter the following SQL commands:

1. Enter the following command to determine the release of the installed software:
SQL> select version from V$INSTANCE;
EXAMPLE
This is an example of the output from this command:

VERSION
10.2.0.2.0
2.
Enter the following command to determine the release and status of the installed database
components:
SQL> select comp_id, version, status from dba_registry;
EXAMPLE
This is an example of the output from this command:

COMP ID VERSION STATUS
CATALOG 10.2.0.2.0 VALID
CATPROC 10.2.0.2.0 VALID
2.
3.
Make sure that the command returns the status VALID.

3. Check that the version returned in the previous two commands is identical.
Check that the value for the version returned from the above command is the same level as the
installed patchset.
For example, if the installed patchset is Oracle 10.2.0.2, the above command should also report the
version for the CATALOG and CATPROC components as 10.2.0.2.
After the upgrade check that the following document is created:
$ORACLE_HOME/assistants/dbua/doc/help/DefaultBehaviorChangesin10g.html
NOTE
You need to check this document carefully because it contains information on important
changes in the default behavior of the new Oracle 10.2 database.

Updating BR*Tools
RECOMMENDATION
If the old database used an initialization file init<DBSID>.ora, theDBUA automatically creates
an spfile. We recommend that you continue to use the spfile. Do not switch back to the
initialization file after the upgrade.
5.3 Updating BR*Tools

You update BR*Tools to the latest release, with the latest patch level. After extracting the latest
BR*Tools release you need to update the SAPDBA role using the script sapdba_role.sql. This is
essential so that the new release of BR*Tools works correctly. The script is automatically extracted
when you extract BR*Tools.
Procedure
1.
Download the most current version of the BR*Tools from SAP Service Marketplace at:

After you have extracted the newest BR*Tools, copy the BR*Tools configuration files
init<DBSID>.sap and init<DBSID>.utl from the old $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory to the new
one:
cd <old $ORACLE_HOME>/dbs
cp init<DBSID>.sap $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
cp init<DBSID>.utl $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
init<DBSID>.utl is only available if you are using a third-party backup solution.
NOTE
init<DBSID>.dba is no longer needed because BR*Tools release 6.40 SAPDBA is no longer

location of the JDBC driver still points to the path of the old ORACLE HOME.
You change the location of the JDBC driver as follows:
7l In files that are located in the database you use the J2EE Engine Config Tool to change the JDBC
driver location.
7l In files that are not located in the database you use Note Pad or another text editor to change the
JDBC driver location.

5.15 Disabling Database User Locking Mechanism For Failed

Logins
When upgrading an Oracle database to Oracle version 10g, user locking is automatically activated so
that, if you repeatedly enter invalid login information, the user is locked. By default, ten invalid login
attempts are allowed before the user is locked. Since old SAP systems first try to log in with a standard
user (sapr3) and password, this locking mechanism might lock the user when starting the system.
Procedure
To deactivate user locking after invalid logon attempts, enter the following information in sqlplus:
sqlplus /nolog

sql>ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS UNLIMITED;
sql>exit
5.16 Checking the National Character Set

If your database still runs with a national character set (NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET) different
from UTF8, you need to change it to UTF8. You can expect to experience severe problems during SAP
upgrades if the database national character set is not set to UTF8. If you already use a Java system or
plan to use one in the future, the national character set must be UTF8.
