Some notes I collected from the exercise of upgrading Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10 to 11.5.10 CU2
*, on Sun Solaris:
- [Middle-tier] Apply patch 4318672 on all application server nodes
- Enable maintenance mode by running
adadmin
.
- Apply patch 4318672 with the help of
adpatch
tool.
- Carefully read README.txt of 4318672, and run Technology Stack Validation tool in both middle- and db-tiers.
Note:
- Set
PARALLEL_MAX_SERVERS
parameter to the default value returned by show parameter cpu_count
. For example, if the database is running on a SunFire T2000 server, set PARALLEL_MAX_SERVERS
to 32.
- [DB-tier] When prompted for applications context file, supply the output of
echo $CONTEXT_FILE
environment variable.
- After running Technology Stack Validation tool, the generated html reports from middle- and db-tiers should have an 'ALLPASS' status. Otherwise, fix the errors and re-run the TSV tool until it achieves ALLPASS status.
- [Middle-tier] Apply patch 4229931 on all application server nodes
- Apply patch 4229931 with the help of
adpatch
tool.
Location of adpatch
log file: $APPL_TOP/admin/<DBInstanceName>/log/adrelink.log.
- [Concurrent Processing node] Apply patch 4297568
- Enable maintenance mode by running
adadmin
tool, if concurrent managers are not running on the same machine where all application server processes are running; then apply patch 4297568 by following the special instructions posted in README.txt file.
Note:
- Disable maintenance mode by running
adadmin
, if concurrent managers are not running on the same machine where all application server processes are running.
- [Middle-tier] Apply release 11.5.10.2 maintenance pack, 3480000
- Apply patchset, 4712852, with the help of
adpatch
tool.
- Apply release 11.5.10.2 maintenance pack, 3480000, with the help of
adpatch
tool. Spare some time to read Metalink document 316365.1, before applying the maintenance pack.
Note:
- Troubleshooting:
-
ERROR: file azstrctall.ldt on worker 1
Follow the instructions of Metalink document '331284.1 Applying 3480000 Patch --- azstrctall.ldt failed --- ORA-20001: The specified api_code does not exist'.
-
FAILED: file AsgRunInst.class on worker 1
Follow the instructions of Metalink document 270156.1. In short, skip the failed thread with an hidden option {of adctrl
} : 8) Skip & Restart
for worker thread 1. Run the failed thread manually, later.
- [Middle-tier] Disable maintenance mode by running
adadmin
