Minimal Downtime Cross Platform Migration and Database Upgrade
This note describes the procedure used to perform a minimal downtime platform migration from Windows to Linux as well as a database upgrade from Oracle 11.2.0.4 to Oracle 12c (12.1.0.2).
We create a Data Guard physical standby database using the DUPLICATE FROM ACTIVE DATABASE feature, followed by a switchover and then we activate the standby and make it a primary database. Finally we upgrade the database to 12c using the catctl.plperl utility with the parallel upgrade option.
By using Data Guard and the 12c command line parallel upgrade utility the entire operation has been performed with database outage of less than 30 minutes.
This example uses a Data Guard MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE configuration, but in a production environment it is recommended to use a MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY configuration which will require the SYNC Redo Log transport attributes and creation of standby redo log files as well.
This is the environment
Site A : Windows 64 bit Oracle database 11.2.0.4 (testdb)
Site B: OEL 6.3 Oracle database 12.1.0.2 (testdb12)
Site A: This is the database file layout on Windows
SQL> select name from v$datafile;
NAME
------
F:\ORADATA\TESTDB\SYSTEM01.DBF
F:\ORADATA\TESTDB\SYSAUX01.DBF
F:\ORADATA\TESTDB\UNDOTBS01.DBF
F:\ORADATA\TESTDB\USERS01.DBF
F:\ORADATA\TESTDB\EXAMPLE01.DBF
On Site B these will be the location for the data files
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/testdb12
/u02/app/oracle/oradata/testdb12
Site A: This is the location of the redo log files
SQL> select member from v$logfile;
MEMBER
------
G:\ORADATA\TESTDB\REDO01.LOG
G:\ORADATA\TESTDB\REDO02.LOG
G:\ORADATA\TESTDB\REDO03.LOG
Site B: This will be the location for the redo log files
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/testdb12/
PART 1 - Data Guard Configuration
Site B: Add a static entry in the listener.ora
(SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = testdb12)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1)
(SID_NAME = testdb12)
)
)
Site B: Reload the listener
[oracle@LINT0003 admin]$ lsnrctl reload
LSNRCTL for Linux: Version 12.1.0.2.0 - Production on 19-JAN-2015 09:27:18

Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=LINT0003.apac.ent.net)(PORT=1521)))
The command completed successfully
Site B: Add entry to the /etc/oratab file for the testdb12 database
Site B :Create the password file – use the same SYS password as the source database
[oracle@LINT0003 admin]$ . oraenv
ORACLE_SID = [testdb] ? testdb12
The Oracle base remains unchanged with value /u01/app/oracle
[oracle@LINT0003 admin]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME
[oracle@LINT0003 dbhome_1]$ pwd
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1
[oracle@LINT0003 dbhome_1]$ cddbs
[oracle@LINT0003 dbs]$ orapwd file=orapwtestdb12 password=Oracle#123
Copy init.ora from Windows (Site A) to Linux (Site B) and make changes as appropriate
Create the required directories on Site B for the data files, control files, redo log files , archive log files, diagnostic destination, audit file destination etc
The following changes to the init.ora were made on Site B in this case
*.audit_file_dest='/u01/app/oracle/admin/testdb12/adump'
*.control_files='/u01/app/oracle/oradata/testdb12/control01.ctl','/u01/app/oracle/oradata/testdb12/control02.ctl'
*.db_unique_name='testdb12'
*.db_recovery_file_dest='/u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area'
*.diagnostic_dest='/u01/app/oracle'
*.log_file_name_convert='G:\ORADATA\TESTDB\','/u01/app/oracle/oradata/testdb12/'
*.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES, ALL_ROLES) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=testdb12'
*.fal_server='testdb'
*.fal_client='testdb12'
On both Site A and Site B add the following entries to the tnsnames.ora file
TESTDB12 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = LINT0003.apac.ent.net)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = testdb12)
)
)
TESTDB =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = CSMSDC-ORAD01.apac.ent.bhpbilliton.net)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = testdb)
)
)
Site B: Start the instance in NOMOUNT state

WARNING: --> Enterprise Manager Database Control repository found in the database
In Oracle Database 12c, Database Control is removed during
the upgrade. To save time during the Upgrade, this action
can be done prior to upgrading using the following steps after
copyingrdbms/admin/emremove.sql from the new Oracle home
- Stop EM Database Control:
$> emctl stop dbconsole
- Connect to the Database using the SYS account AS SYSDBA:
SET ECHO ON;
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
@emremove.sql
Without the set echo and serveroutput commands you will not
be able to follow the progress of the script.
WARNING: --> Database contains INVALID objects prior to upgrade
The list of invalid SYS/SYSTEM objects was written to
registry$sys_inv_objs.
The list of non-SYS/SYSTEM objects was written to
registry$nonsys_inv_objs unless there were over 5000.
Use utluiobj.sql after the upgrade to identify any new invalid
objects due to the upgrade.
INFORMATION: --> Older Timezone in use
Database is using a time zone file older than version 18.
After the upgrade, it is recommended that DBMS_DST package
be used to upgrade the 11.2.0.4.0 database time zone version
to the latest version which comes with the new release.
Please refer to My Oracle Support note number 977512.1 for details.
