Its the recommended method for performing a major release upgrade or patchset release upgrade. ‘+ DBUA automates the upgrade process by performing all ofthe tasks. DBUA makes appropriate recommendations for configuration options and then you can act on these recommendations. + DBUA provides support for Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) databases. In an Oracle RAC environment, BUA upgrade all the database and configuration files on all nodes in the cluster. ‘+ DBUA, graphical user interface must be Invoked within the new Oracle home where the Oracle Database 12c R2 software has been installed For windows, Only an Administrator or Installed owner should invoke DBUA for Windows systems. + DBUA starts the Pre-Uparade Tool, which automatically fixes some configuration settings to the values required for the upgrade. For example, the Pre-Upgrade Tool can change initialization parameters to values required for the parade. The Pre-Upgrade Tool also provides you with alist of items that you need to fix manually before you can continue with the upgrade. + Italso gives certain recommendations on certain areas belonging to the database, The recommendations can then be acted on making the upgrade process user friendly and easy. + Once, you address / fix the pre-upgrade recommendation / warnings /errors and continue with the upgrade, DBUYA shows the progress of the upgrade for each component of source database + As with previous releases of DBUA, 12c DBUA restricts the carry over of hidden parameters since Oracle recommends not to have hidden parameters other than those suggested via support during the upgrade. To view existing hidden parameters execute the following command while connected AS SYSDBA: SELECT name,description from SYS. VSPARAMETER WHERE name LIKE "\_96' ESCAPE"; ‘+ DBUA performs some of the checks before actually starting the database upgrade. Some of the checks can be done manually to reduce downtime for the upgrade + DBUA provides below options: ~ Upgrade timezone. The default timezone vetrsion In 12.2.0.1 is 26. hitps1/support oracle. comlepmosfaces/DocumentDisplay?_adf ctf-sate=vyzx?H7|_$488id=2189854.1 224sws0n019 Document 218985¢.1 ~ Gather dictionary statistics before upgrade. ~ Make user tablespaces read only. ~ Take RMAN backup before upgrade. - Restore database backup to rollback upgrade = Option to execute Custom scripts before and after upgrade ~ show the location of DBUA logs and Alert log files. = Option to upgrade existing listener to 12c home or create a new listener in 12.2 target home. Starting with Oracle Database 12c release 2 (12.2), you can upgrade the database without disabling Oracle Database Vault. However, if you disabled Oracle Database Vault, then you must enable it manually after an upgrade, Upgrade Path / Compatibility Matrix for 12.2 Oracle Database. DBUA can upgrade only supported versions of direct upgrade, Direct Upgrade to 12.2: ‘Source Database [Target Database] 11,2.0.3 and higher 12.2.0.x 12.1.0.x (12.1.0.1 - 12.1.0.2))[12.2.0% Indirect Upgrade to 12.2: (Source Database __|[Upgrade Path [Target Database| 7.3.3 (lower) [7.3.4 > 9.2.0.8 ~> 11.2.0.3 or higher_][12.2.0.« 88.0.5 (or lower) _|[8.0.6 --> 9.2.0.8 --> 1.2.0.3 or higher _|[12.2.0.x 8.17 (orlower) [8.1.7 > 92.08 - 11.2.0.3 or higher_][12.2.0x 9.0.1.3 (or lower ) |[9.0.1.3 -> 9.2.0.8 => 11.2.0.3 or higher][12.2.0.x 9.2.0.7 ( or lower ) |]9.2.0.7 > 11.2.0.3 or higher 2.2.0. 10,2.0.4 ( or lower )|[10.2.0.4 --> 11.2.0.3 or higher fi2.2.0.x 111.06 [1.1.0.6 > 11.2.0.3 or higher 2.2.0.x 112.01 fii.2.0.1 11,2.0.3 or higher fi2.2.0.x Requirements and Recommendation for source database, Ensure that all database components/objects provided by Oracle are VALID in the source database prior to starting the upgrade.
