Before the production upgrade, make sure that you perform a test upgrade on your backup system.
1. You check the original version of your database [page 11].

2. You check the hardware and software requirements [page 12].
3. You check additional requirements for the upgrade [page 12].
4. You decide whether you want to use multiple Oracle homes [page 13].
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 9.2.0.6 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:
òÇ5¤®e 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.
òÇ5¤®e If you are upgrading from Oracle 9.2.0 to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) in manual mode.
òÇ5¤®e If the source database runs Oracle 9.2.0.4, 9.2.0.3, 9.2.0.2, or 9.2.0.1, you need to update the source
database to patch set 9.2.0.6 or later.
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.
2009-08-25 PUBLIC 11/58

2 Planning
2.2 Checking Hardware and Software Requirements
2.2 Checking Hardware and Software Requirements

You need to check that you meet the hardware and software requirements for running the new Oracle
release. The complete list of hardware and software requirements for every platform is included in the
Oracle documentation.
Prerequisites
You can access the complete Oracle documentation referred to below as a member of the Oracle
Technology Network (OTN).
Procedure
1. Note the following general hardware requirements:
XuÃÃ· At least 1024 MB of physical RAM
XuÃÃ· About 500 MB free space in the %TEMP% directory
XuÃÃ· At least 10 GB for the Oracle Home directory, consisting of:
XuÃÃØ 3 to 5 GB for the Oracle software
XuÃÃØ About 5 GB for the patch information stored by OPATCH tool
This high space requirement is necessary due to the large number of patches that must be
applied on top of any given Oracle patch set.
2. Check that your operating system meets the software requirements for running the new Oracle
release, including all required patches. You might need to upgrade your operating system before
you start. The complete list of software requirements for every operating system is included in the
Oracle documentation.
RECOMMENDATION
If you have access to Oracle Metalink we strongly recommend that you read document
169706.1. This document provides information on all operating system prerequisites and is
regularly updated.
3. Obtain the full and updated list of hardware and software requirements from the relevant Oracle
database installation guide for your operating system, which you can find at the Oracle website.
Select the appropriate documentation for Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2).
2.3 Checking Additional Requirements for the Upgrade

You need to check the additional requirements for the Oracle database upgrade as described in this
section.
Procedure
1. Make sure you have read the SAP Notes for the upgrade [page 8], which you can find at
http://service.sap.com/notes
12/58 PUBLIC 2009-08-25

2 Planning
2.4 Using Multiple Oracle Homes
2. Make sure your operating system and initial database version meets SAP requirements. We approve
specific combinations of operating system version, database version, SAP release, and SAP kernel
release:
#ú+Pèj SAP Release 4.6x, see SAP Note 156548
#ú+Pèj SAP Release 6.x, see SAP Note 407314
3. Download the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) installation guide for your operating system
from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN).
You need this document to review the hardware and software requirements and to configure the
kernel parameters and shell limits.
RECOMMENDATION
If you have access to Oracle Metalink we strongly recommend that you read document
169706.1. This document provides information on all operating system prerequisites and is
regularly updated.
4. Download the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) software and the latest patch sets and required
patches or patch collection.
The list of patches is described in SAP Notes 1137346 and 1137346. You can download the patches
from:
http://service.sap.com/swcenter-3pmain
CAUTION
#ú+Pèj The patches listed in SAP Note 1137346 are mandatory. To avoid severe database
problems, make sure that you install all these patches.
#ú+Pèj 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.
5. Download the latest version of the Oracle 10.2 Instant Client software from:
http://service.sap.com/swcenter-3pmain
6. Download the latest version of the DBATOOLS (BR*Tools) to be used immediately after the
database upgrade from:
http://service.sap.com/swdc

Before the upgrade or migration, you need to decide whether you want to set up multiple Oracle
Homes as this influences the procedure.
Oracle allows multiple Oracle Homes for specific database versions. This means that more than one
version of the database software can exist in different Oracle Home directories on the same host.
NOTE
MSCS only:
2009-08-25 PUBLIC 13/58

2 Planning
Multiple Oracle Homes are not supported in a MSCS configuration. During the upgrade or
migration there are temporarily two Oracle Homes. However, the old Oracle Home is deleted at
the end of the migration or upgrade procedure. Note however that the Oracle Fail Safe software
is installed in its own Oracle Home.
Multiple Oracle Homes are necessary, if:

v
"¦Â Two different databases are installed on the same computer and use different Oracle releases that
cannot be installed in a single Oracle Home directory.
v
"¦Â A migration or an upgrade to Oracle 10g is being performed. The new Oracle software must be
installed in a new Oracle Home directory.
14/58 PUBLIC 2009-08-25

3 Preparation
3.1 Checking the SAP System Prerequisites
3 Preparation
You have to complete the following preparations:

1. You check the SAP System prerequisites [page 15].
2. If required, you migrate to automatic undo management [page 16].
3. If required, you stop Statspack reports [page 16].
4. You check the SYSTEM and SYSAUX tablespace for freespace [page 17].
5. If required, you check for invalid database objects [page 17].
6. MSCS only: You remove the database from the cluster group [page 18].
7. MSCS only: You upgrade to OFS 3.3.4 [page 19].
3.1 Checking the SAP System Prerequisites

You must check the prerequisites for the SAP system (ABAP) release 6.40 and lower. You need to:
1. Check that the Microsoft C Runtime libraries of version 71 are installed.
2. Update the database library (lib_dbsl<xxx>.sar) to the latest patch level
3. Apply a correction to the ABAP system
This is necessary to make the SAP system compatible for the Oracle Database 10g release checks.
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. Make sure that you have installed the latest Microsoft C Runtime dlls of version 71 with
R3DLLINS.EXE.
The DLLs and the executable are attached to SAP Note 684106.
2. Download the latest version of dboraslib.dll for your release from:
3. Check the level of your Basis support package using this table:
SAP Release (SAP_BASIS) Basis Support Package Level
46B SAPKB46B57
46C SAPKB46C48
46D SAPKB46D38
6.10 SAPKB61041
2009-08-25 PUBLIC 15/58

3 Preparation
3.2 Migrating to Automatic Undo Management
SAP Release (SAP_BASIS) Basis Support Package Level

6.20 SAPKB62044
6.40 SAPKB64009
Bçpo ` If the level of your Basis support package is higher than or equal to that shown above, no
additional corrections are necessary.
Bçpo ` If the level of your Basis support package is lower than the one shown in the table above, you
need to apply an additional transport correction to your system as described in SAP Note
868681.
4. Execute the SQL script sapconn_role.sql as follows:
cd %ORACLE_HOME%\database
copy <ORACLE_DVD>:\NT\<platform>\SAP\sapconn_role.sql
sqlplus /nolog @sapconn_role
3.2 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. Read SAP Note 600141, which is the central note describing automatic undo management. This
note also gives you an overview of the concepts involved.
2. Follow the step-by-step instructions in the note to migrate to automatic undo management.
3.3 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):
SQL> connect PERFSTAT/<pwd>
SQL> select job, what from user_jobs;
This displays a list of the jobs that are currently entered under the user PERFSTAT.
16/58 PUBLIC 2009-08-25

3 Preparation
3.4 Checking the SYSTEM and SYSAUX Tablespace for Freespace
2. Delete all jobs with the print job number <jobnr>:

SQL> connect PERFSTAT/<pwd>
SQL> execute dbms_job.remove( <jobnr> );
3.4 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 <dbsid>adm user:
ü×�²vS brspace –f dbshow –c tsinfo –s SYSTEM
ü×�²vS 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:
ü×�²vS Setting the AUTOEXTEND option for the existing datafile to ON.
ü×�²vS Adding an additional datafile.
ü×�²vS Resizing the existing datafile.
3.5 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.
Procedure
1. Execute the following commands:
SQL> spool invalid_objects
SQL> select unique object_name, object_type, owner from dba_objects where status =
'INVALID';
SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql

3 Preparation
3.6 MSCS Only: Removing the Database from the Cluster Group
SQL> select unique object_name, object_type, owner from dba_objects where status =
'INVALID';
SQL> spool off
A list of invalid objects before the upgrade is now generated.
2. 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";
3.6 MSCS Only: Removing the Database from the Cluster

Group
In an MSCS configuration, you have to remove the SAP database from the Oracle cluster group before
you begin the upgrade.
Procedure
NOTE
Perform the steps on the first MSCS node only. The database must be located on the first MSCS
node.
1. In the Cluster Administrator, take the SAP group offline.

2. In the Cluster Administrator, move all groups including the Cluster group to the first MSCS node.

MSCS nodes.
4.1.4 Installing the Oracle 10g Client Software

To install the Oracle 10g database client software perform one of the following steps on the central and
dialog instance.
£(±ÊîJ If you have an instance-specific exe directory on the central instance host, you install and replicate
the client software automatically with sapcpe on each application server, every time the system
starts:
£(±ÊîJ If you do not have an instance-specific exe directory on the central instance host, you have to
install the client software manually on the central instance host.
The following describes both procedures.
CAUTION
If you want to upgrade from Oracle 10.1.0 to Oracle 10.2. you have to delete the old Oracle instant
client software before you extract the Oracle 10.2. instant client:
1. Enter the following command in the DIR_CT_RUN [page 51] and all $(DIR_INSTANCE)
\exe-directories:
type dbclient.lst
2. Delete all files and directories listed in dbclient.lst.
Procedure
1. The following step is only relevant on the central instance host:
Extract the platform-specific OCL102<xx>.sar archive on the central instance as follows:
NOTE
£(±ÊîJ The archive is located on the Oracle 10g Client Software DVD in the directory
OCL_WINDOWS_<platform>.
£(±ÊîJ To unpack the archive, use the latest sapcar.exe program, which you find on the Oracle
RDBMS DVD in the directory: NT\<platform>\SAP.
£(±ÊîJ In mixed environments (32-bit and 64-bit) you have to extract the archive in the respective
directory on both platforms.
£(±ÊîJ If you have an instance-specific exe directory on the central instance host, extract the platform-
specific OCL102<xx>.sar archive to the DIR_CT_RUN [page 51] directory.
Open a command prompt and enter the following commands in a separate line:
cd <path_to_DIR_CT_RUN>
sapcar -xvf <path_to OCL_WINDOWS_<platform>>\OCL102<xx>.SAR
28/58 PUBLIC 2009-08-25

4.2 Copying and Adapting the SQL*Net Files
z8õ“˜ë If you do not have an instance-specific exe directory on the central instance host, extract the

Open a command prompt and enter the following commands in a separate line:
cd <path_to_DIR_EXECUTABLE>
sapcar -xvf <path_to OCL_WINDOWS_<platform>>\OCL102<xx>.SAR
2. Define the following parameter in all instance profiles:
DIR_CLIENT_ORAHOME=$(DIR_EXECUTABLE)
4.2 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. Log on as user <dbsid>adm.
2. Copy the SQL*Net parameter files from the <old_ORACLE_HOME>\network\admin-directory to the
<new_ORACLE_HOME>\network\admin-directory.
3. Edit the listener.ora in the <new_ORACLE_HOME>\network\admin-directory.
Identify the parameter ORACLE_HOME that belongs to the database you want to upgrade (SID_NAME
in section SID_LIST) and change the value of the parameter ORACLE_HOME to point to the new
ORACLE_HOME.
4. Multiple Oracle Homes only: This step is only necessary, if you want to continue using additional
Oracle Homes after the database upgrade.
If you have two or more co-existing Oracle Homes, each has its own Listener and its own
corresponding configuration. Make sure that you do not use the same port number for more than
one listener.
To check existing numbers in the Net Manager:
1. Start the Net Manager that guides you through the Network configuration process.
To do this, choose Start All Programs Oracle - <NEW_ORACLE_HOME_NAME>
Configuration and Migration Tools Net Manager .
2. Choose File Oracle Net Configuration .
3. Select the Listener.
The port number for the Listener is displayed. Keep in mind that when you remove or change
port numbers for a Listener, you must do this for both the client and server using the Net
Manager as described earlier.

the same port number for more than one listener.
2009-08-25 PUBLIC 29/58

4.3 Backing Up the Oracle Database
4.3 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 and operating system backup, and back up any archive logs from Oracle
9i.
2. 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.
3. 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:
cd %SAPTRACE%\background (if the saptrace environment variable exists)
cd %SAPDATA_HOME%\saptrace\background (if the saptrace environment variable does not exist)
move alert_<DBSID>.log alert_<DBSID>.log-SV-9.2.0
4.4 Changing the Environment for User <dbsid>adm

Procedure
1. If you use multiple Oracle Homes, remove from the system environment variable PATH all parts
referring to the Oracle executables (%ORACLE_HOME%\bin) as follows:
1. Start the Oracle Universal Installer with Start All Programs Oracle - <Home_Name> Oracle
Installation Products Universal Installer .
3. In the Inventory screen, choose the Environment tab.
4. Deselect all components and choose Apply.
2. In the environment of the user <dbsid>adm, delete the following variables:
«—H�Łå ORACLE_HOME
«—H�Łå TNS_ADMIN (if it exists)

—ÐˇpmV You can also use sqlplus remotely to make changes to your profile parameters
—ÐˇpmV You have to make the changes in the parameter files only once in the shared Oracle Home\database-
directory.
If your database is not configured for using a spfile, you have to apply all changes in the
init<DBSID>.ora file in the Oracle Home\database-directories on all MSCS nodes.
To check the configuration of your database, see Changing or Deleting Oracle database parameters [page
51].
NOTE
Oracle Fail Safe does not support the direct use of an spfile. Therefore, you have to create a Fail
Safe-specific init<DBSID>_OFS.ora file, and specify it when adding the database to the cluster resource
group [page 42].

5.3 MSCS Only: Setting Up a Shared Database Directory in Oracle Home
Prerequisites
You have one of the following executables available:
t˜ºA linkd.exe
This executable is part of the Microsoft Windows 2003 Server Resource Kit.
You can download the resource kit from www.microsoft.com.
Search for Microsoft Windows 2003 Server Resource Kit.
NOTE
After you have installed the resource kit, you can copy linkd.exe to any directory.
t˜ºA junction.exe
You can download this file from www.sysinternals.com.
Search for junction.
Procedure
1. Stop the Oracle database and the Oracle Service.
2. In the sapdata1 directory, create the directory database.
The sapdata1 directory is located on a shared disk in the cluster.
3. On the first MSCS node, change to the Oracle Home directory, and enter the following command:
move database\* <path to_sapdata1>\database
4. Delete the Oracle Home\database-directory with the command:
rd /q /s database
NOTE
You can also use the Windows Explorer to delete the directory.
5. Create the junction or link with the following DOS-command:
t˜ºA For junction, enter:
<path_to_junction.exe> %Oracle_Home%\database <complete_path_to_sapdata1>
\database
t˜ºA For linkd, enter:

<path_to_linkd.exe> %Oracle_Home%\database <complete_path_to_sapdata1>
\database
NOTE
You can also use the 32-bit junction.exe or linkd.exe in a 64-bit Windows operating
system.
6. Move the disk where the …\sapdata1\database directory is located to another MSCS node.
7. Repeat step 4 and step 5 on the other MSCS nodes.

5.4 Changing the Registry Value of Oracle Autostart

Procedure
Change the registry value with the following command:
oradim -edit -sid <dbsid> -startmode manual
NOTE
Make sure that you use oradim of Oracle 10.2.
NOTE
If you have several Oracle Homes, ORA_<DBSID>_AUTOSTART, is available in one Oracle Home only.
Set the value for ORA_<DBSID>_AUTOSTART from TRUE to FALSE.
5.5 Starting the Oracle Services

Procedure
Start the Oracle services, if not yet started.
In a standard configuration, set the startup type of OracleService<DBSID> and
Oracle<ORACLE_HOME_NAME>TNSListener to automatic to ensure that they are automatically restarted
after booting. For more information on how to start services, see Starting or Stopping Services [page 50].
CAUTION
MSCS only:
Set the startup type of OracleService<DBSID> and Oracle<ORACLE_HOME_NAME>TNSListener to
manual to ensure that they are not automatically restarted after booting.
5.6 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:
2. Unpack BR*Tools to the DIR_CT_RUN [page 51] directory.
36/58 PUBLIC 2009-08-25

5.7 Deleting the Old Oracle Software
NOTE
MSCS only: Install BR*Tools in the following directories:

˙+§S DIR_CT_RUN [page 51] on one MSCS node only.
˙+§S %windir%\SapCluster on all MSCS nodes.
3. After you have extracted the newest BR*Tools you also need to copy the BR*Tools configuration
files init<DBSID>.sap and init<DBSID>.utl from the <old_ORACLE_HOME>\database directory
to the new one:
cd <old_ORACLE_HOME>\database
copy init<DBSID>.sap %ORACLE_HOME%\database
copy init<DBSID>.utl %ORACLE_HOME%\database (this file is only available only if you use a 3rd
party backup solution)
NOTE
˙+§S init<DBSID>.dba is no longer needed because BR*Tools release 6.40 SAPDBA is no longer
available.
˙+§S The init<DBSID>.utl file is only available if you use external backup software based on
a backint interface.
4. Update the SAPDBA role as <dbsid>adm user as follows:
1. Copy sapdba_role.sql from the DIR_CT_RUN directory to the %ORACLE_HOME%\database
directory.
2. Execute the following SQL commands:
˙+ü‡š±¢ˆ–+6Ó×ëëı˘-.ë~HkÙK“,ïÃ_>ýtÓ¦˛¥V⁄O°/º

NOTE
If you have an ABAP+Java system, you have to enter both commands.

CAUTION
Make sure that you execute the commands for every SAPSCHEMA_ID in your database.

You use the Oracle Universal Installer to delete the old Oracle software.
CAUTION
MSCS only:
Carry out this procedure only after you have added the database to the cluster group [page 42]. Perform
the steps on all MSCS nodes.
2009-08-25 PUBLIC 37/58

CAUTION
ßÆˇ5ù™ Do not delete the old software, if it still has to be accessed by another SAP instance running
with this version. For example, this may be the case if an SAP dialog or central instance
belonging to a different SAP system is running on the same database host.
ßÆˇ5ù™ Database client only:
In a distributed system, you must delete the old Oracle database client 9.2 software at least on
the central instance host before you start upgrading your SAP system. In a distributed system,
your central instance is installed on a separate host than the database instance.
If you cannot delete the old Oracle client software because it is used by other programs or
SAP instances on the same host, you have to modify the environment variable path for user
<SAPSID>adm and SAPService<SAPSID>. Make sure that it does not contain any reference to
the old ORACLE_HOME\bin directory.
In a central system, only delete the database client after you have finished upgrading your
system.
Procedure
1. Stop the database.
2. MSCS only: Set the Oracle Services for MSCS offline.
3. MSCS only: Stop the Cluster Service on all MSCS nodes.
4. Stop the service Distributed Transaction Coordinator.
5. Stop the services of the old Oracle Home.
6. Start the Oracle Universal Installer from your Start menu as follows:
ßÆˇ5ù™ If you find the Universal Installer under Start All Programs <New_Oracle_Home_Name> Oracle
Installation Products Universal Installer , you must start it from this path.
ßÆˇ5ù™ Otherwise, start it from Start All Programs Oracle Installation Products Universal Installer
NOTE
Note that on a database client, you start the Universal Installer from the Oracle RDBMS
DVD. Double-click the file setup.exe in the directory <DVD-DRIVE>:\NT\<platform>
\install
7. Follow the instructions for your Oracle Home you want to remove.
1. In the Welcome screen, choose Deinstall Products.
2. In the Inventory dialog box, expand the node representing your old Oracle Home and remove
it.
On a database client, you expand the node representing the old Oracle Home and remove
it.
3. Confirm the removal of the products in the popup that appears
38/58 PUBLIC 2009-08-25

5.8 Backing Up the Database
NOTE
Note that it is not possible to delete all old Oracle products. These are deleted in the
following steps.
8. Delete the services whose name contains the old Oracle Home name.
To delete a service, open a command prompt and enter:
sc delete <service_name>
Make sure that you do not delete the services listed under Oracle Services [page 49].
NOTE
Multiple Oracle Homes only: On a database server with multiple Oracle Homes, do not
delete the service OracleService<DBSID>. If more than one Listener is configured, do not
delete these either.
9. In the Windows Explorer, delete the Oracle Home directory of old software.
10. Delete the entry Oracle for Windows NT, if it exists, in the Windows Start menu, as follows:
1. Choose Start All Programs
2. Right-click Oracle – <OLD_ORACLE_HOME_NAME> and choose Delete.
CAUTION
Make sure that you delete the registry key for the earlier Oracle version, for example:

only one Oracle client installed. Otherwise do not delete it.
5.8 Backing Up the Database

You need to back up your upgraded Oracle Database 10g database.
CAUTION
You risk losing data if you do not back up your database.
Procedure
Perform a full database backup.
5.9 Performing Post-Upgrade Tasks

You need to perform certain post-upgrade tasks.
Procedure
1. Change database compatibility by executing the following SQL command as the <dbsid>adm user:
sqlplus /nolog
SQL>connect / as sysdba
SQL> alter system set compatible='10.2.0' scope = spfile;
2009-08-25 PUBLIC 39/58

5.9 Performing Post-Upgrade Tasks
2. Restart the Oracle database.

3. Deactivate the Oracle recycle bin by executing the following SQL command as the <dbsid>adm
user:
SQL> purge dba_recyclebin;
SQL> alter system set recyclebin = 'off' scope = spfile;
4. Gather Oracle optimizer statistics as follows:
1. Execute the following commands as the <dbsid>adm user:
brconnect -u / -c -f stats -t system_stats
brconnect -u / -c -f stats -t oradict_stats
2. Execute the following commands with SQLPlus:
SQL> exec dbms_scheduler.disable('GATHER_STATS_JOB');
SQL> exec dbms_scheduler.disable('ORACLE_OCM.MGMT_CONFIG_JOB');
SQL> exec dbms_scheduler.disable('ORACLE_OCM.MGMT_STATS_CONFIG_JOB');
5. Identify the objects that are invalid after the upgrade as follows:
1. Execute the following commands as the <dbsid>adm user:
SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql;
SQL> spool %ORACLE_HOME%/cfgtoollogs/invalid_post.log
SQL> select count(*) from dba_objects where status = 'INVALID';
SQL> select substr(owner,1,12) owner, substr(object_name,1,30) object, substr
(object_type,1,30) type, status from dba_objects where status <>'VALID' order
by owner;
SQL> spool off;
2. Check the log file invalid_post.log. created at %ORACLE_HOME%\ cfgtoollogs
\invalid_post.log to compare the invalid objects before the start of the upgrade.
6. Check the Oracle database parameters against SAP Note 830576 and adjust them if necessary.
You can find an automated script in SAP Note 1171650 to help you check whether your SAP system
complies with the database parameter recommendations at any given point in time.
7. Restart the database to activate the changes:
1. Log on to the database with SQL*Plus
2. Execute the following commands:
sqlplus / as sysdba
shutdown immediate
startup
8. Gather statistics for SAP schemas:
1. With Oracle Database 10g all tables have statistics, which means that you need to update some
entries in the DBSTATC table before starting BRCONNECT, as follows:
sqlplus SAP<SAPSCHEMA_ID>/<password>
40/58 PUBLIC 2009-08-25

5.10 Creating the orapwd File
SQL> update DBSTATC set activ = 'A' where activ in ('N', 'R');

CAUTION
Perform this action separately for each SAP schema on the database, but not for Java
systems.
2. Update the Oracle database statistics with BRCONNECT as follows:
brconnect -c -u / -f stats -t all –f collect -p 4
NOTE
For more information about update statistics, see the documentation SAP Database Guide:
Oracle at:
www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/ora SAP ON ORACLE KNOWLEDGE CENTER SAP
Documentation
5.10 Creating the orapwd File

You create the orapwd file to use for the Oracle Enterprise Manager. This allows you to connect to the
Oracle database as sysdba without using the operating system users.
NOTE
This procedure is only required if you upgraded an Oracle 9.2.0.6 database to Oracle 10.2.
Procedure
1. In sqlplus, set the parameter remote_login_passwordfile to EXCLUSIVE.
For more information on how to set parameters, see Changing Oracle Database Parameters [page 51].
2. Open a command prompt and create the pwd<DBSID>.ora file with the following command:
orapwd file=%Oracle_Home%\database\pwd<DBSID>.ora password=<pwdFilePassword>
entries=100 force=y
Enter a password for <pwdFilePassword>.
3. Stop and restart the Oracle database.
4. To allow a database user, for example sap<sapsid>, or a system to connect to the Oracle database
as sysdba or sysoper (connect dbusername/dbpassword as sysdba) although the database is
not started, enter the following commands:
sqlplus /nolog
SQL>grant sysdba to <dbusername>;
SQL>grant sysoper to <dbusername>;

If you have an SAP system with Java components, you may have to change the location of the JDBC
driver after you have upgraded the database. Otherwise the J2EE Engine cannot start because the
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:
®jþû5" In files that are located in the database you use the J2EE Engine Config Tool to change the JDBC
driver location.
®jþû5" In files that are not located in the database you use Note Pad or another text editor to change the
JDBC driver location.
CAUTION
®jþû5" Make sure when you change the driver location that you use a forward slash "/" or backward

5.14 Disabling Database User Locking Mechanism For Failed Logins
5.14 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>connect / as sysdba
sql>ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS UNLIMITED;
sql>exit
5.15 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.
Procedure
If necessary, follow SAP Note 669902 to change the national character set to UTF8.

6.4 Changing or Deleting Oracle Database Parameters
6.4 Changing or Deleting Oracle Database Parameters

Depending on the configuration of the Oracle database, you must use one of the following files to
change or delete the Oracle database parameters:
_˝ë× If your database is not configured for using a spfile you use the init<DBSID>.ora file.
_˝ë× If your database is configured for using a spfile you use the spfile.
Procedure
1. Check the configuration of your Oracle database with the following sqlplus commands:
sqlplus /nolog
SQL>show parameter spfile
2. Check the value of the spfile parameter and perform one of the following steps:
_˝ë× If the value of the parameter spfile is empty, your database is not configured for using a spfile.
Edit the init<DBSID>.ora file to change the parameters.
_˝ë× If a value for the parameter spfile is displayed, your database is configured for using a spfile.
Change the parameters in the spfile as follows:
_˝ë×z To set the parameter, enter one of the following:
_˝ë×s If <parameter_value> consists of a string, for example 10.2.0, enter:
SQL> alter system set <parameter_name>=’<parameter_value>’ scope =
spfile;
_˝ë×s Otherwise enter:

SQL> alter system set <parameter_name>=<parameter_value> scope =
spfile;
NOTE
To find out if your parameter value is a string or a number, use the command:
show parameter <parameter_name>
_˝ë×z To delete a parameter, enter:

SQL> alter system reset <parameter_name> scope = spfile sid = '*';
NOTE
If you get an error during the ‘alter system reset’ command like ORA-32010 : cannot
find entry to delete in SPFILE, you can ignore it, as it only indicates that the
entry did not exist in the SPFILE.
6.5 Determining the Value of SAP System Profile Parameters

This section describes how to determine the value of SAP system profile parameters, for example of
DIR_CT_RUN and DIR_EXECUTABLE.
2009-08-25 PUBLIC 51/58

6.6 Moving Groups for MSCS
Procedure
The following procedure shows an example how to determine the value of the DIR_CT_RUN parameter.
To find out the value of DIR_CT_RUN, do one of the following:
fÚl‡ÉÎ If your SAP system is started, use transaction SE38.
Run report rsparam and search for the parameter DIR_CT_RUN.
fÚl‡ÉÎ If your SAP system is not started, open a command prompt and enter: sappfpar
pf=<full_path_to instance_profile> DIR_CT_RUN
6.6 Moving Groups for MSCS

You can use the Cluster Administrator or the Fail Safe Manager. This sections describes the procedure for
both.
Procedure
Moving Groups with the Cluster Administrator
Use the Cluster Administrator for groups that do not belong to the Oracle database groups:
1. Start the Cluster Administrator with Start < Settings> Control Panel Administrative Tools Cluster
Administrator.
2. On the left-hand pane, under Groups right-click the cluster group you want to move.
3. Click Move group on the context menu.

6.7 Starting and Stopping the SAP System

This section describes how to start or stop an SAP system in a:
fÚl‡ÉÎ Standard Configuration
fÚl‡ÉÎ Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS) Configuration
If you use MSCS, you start or stop your SAP system with one of the following tools:
fÚl‡É¡ The SAP Microsoft Management Console (SAP MMC)
52/58 PUBLIC 2009-08-25

L|‰˝˙ù The Cluster Administrator
Procedure
Starting and Stopping the SAP System in a Standard Configuration
For a standard configuration, you use the SAP Microsoft Management Console (SAP MMC) to start or stop
your SAP system. With a newly installed MMC you can start or stop installed SAP instances locally on
the host that you are logged on to. If the MMC is configured for central system administration, you
can start the entire system from a single host. To stop the system, you first have to stop all dialog
instances before you can stop the other instances. For more information on the start or stop order of
an SAP system, see SAP Note 897933.
NOTE
When you boot the Windows operating system in a standard configuration, the SAP Service
SAP<SAPSID>_<Instance_number> (for example SAPPRD_00) is always started automatically.
Perform the following steps:

1. Start the SAP MMC on the SAP system host by choosing Start All Programs SAP Management
Console.
2. Right-click the SAP system node and choose Start or Stop.
All instances listed under the system node, will start or stop in the correct order.
3. If the SAP system is installed on multiple hosts (distributed system), you have the following options
to start or stop your system:
L|‰˝˙Œ You start or stop the SAP instances using the SAP MMC on each host.
L|‰˝˙Œ You add the remote instances to the MMC configuration to start or stop all instances from a
single MMC.
To do so, do one of the following:
L|‰˝˙ù You configure the SAP MMC manually. For more information, see Changing the Configuration
of the MMC in the MMC documentation.
L|‰˝˙ù You use the automatic LDAP registration. For more information, see Configuring MMC
for Active Directory Service in the MMC documentation.
Starting and Stopping the SAP System in an MSCS Configuration
In an MSCS configuration, you start or stop your SAP system using one of the following options:
L|‰˝˙Œ The SAP Microsoft Management Console (SAP MMC)
To start or stop your SAP system with the SAP MMC, see above.
L|‰˝˙Œ The Cluster Administrator
L|‰˝˙ù To start the SAP system with the Cluster Administrator, open the Cluster Administrator and set the
SAP cluster resource in the SAP cluster group online.
