System Requirements

CPU Requirements

The size of the database

The amount of data in the primary product installation group

The number and duration of long-running processes associated with products in this release

Memory Requirements

Number of concurrent users

Infrastructure requirements for multi-tiered architecture



Database Size

Consider the products.

Number of languages being installed.

And changes in the data model.



Tablespace Model

R12 uses the Oracle Applications Tablespace Model (OATM)

OATM uses 12 locally managed Tablespace for all products including

Temporary tablespaceSystem tablespaceSystem-managed undo (SMU) tablespace.

Extent SizeFor Small systems (upto 100GB) 128k

For Multi Tera byte systems 4-10MB



Scheduling Time for an Upgrade

Reducing Upgrade Downtime Performing certain product-specific tasks before Use Cloning methodology and a test file system to upgrade production system.

BackupStrongly recommended to take backup of entire System



Database Initialization Parameters

Change the following initialization parameters as specified below for upgrade process. Once the upgrade process completes, reset the parameters back.

db_file_multiblock_read_countRemove this parameter. (this is not required).

_db_file_optimizer_read_count = 8(default setting is 8. Keep default setting).

job_queue_processes (set the value of this parameters equal to number of CPUs).

parallel_max_servers (set the value of this parameters equal to twice the number of CPUs).



Database Initialization ParametersCont..

pga_aggregate_target

For 11g_pga_max_size=104857600 (restart the database after changing it)



Temporary Tablespace

Drop the existing TEMP tablespace

Create a New TEMP tablespace as a locally managed tablespace with uniform allocation size.

Verify using following query

select CONTENTS,EXTENT_MANAGEMENT,ALLOCATION_TYPE from dba_tablespaceswhere tablespace_name='TEMP';

select CONTENTS,EXTENT_MANAGEMENT,ALLOCATION_TYPE from dba_tablespaceswhere tablespace_name='TEMP';

Preparing for the Upgrade



Overview

Step 1: Apply 11i.AD.I.6

Step 2: Run TUMS utility

Step 3: Database and System Administration Tasks

Step 4: Perform Product Specific Tasks

Step 5: Prepare for Upgrade

Step 6: Migrate or upgrade your database to at least Oracle 10g Release 2



Step 1: Apply 11i.AD.I.6

Apply latest AD patch level. p6502082_11i_LINUX_AD.I.6

SQL> select patch_level from fnd_product_installations where patch_level like ‘%AD%’;

PATCH_LEVEL——————————11i.AD.I.6

SQL> select patch_level from fnd_product_installations where patch_level like ‘%AD%’;

PATCH_LEVEL——————————11i.AD.I.6



Step 2: Run TUMS utility

Examines current configuration

Creates a report detailing which of the tasks in these instructions to complete and ignore.

Apply Patch 7705743, adtums.sql need to run to generate the TUMS report tumsr12.html

$ cd $AD_TOP/patch/115/sql

$ sqlplus <APPS username> / <APPS password> @adtums.sql <directory>

$ cd $AD_TOP/patch/115/sql

$ sqlplus <APPS username> / <APPS password> @adtums.sql <directory>



Step 3: Database and System Administration Tasks

1 : Perform the Complete Backup for DatabaseApplicationsCustomizations

2 : Upgrade Plan for CustomizationsFor custom Database Objects , rename objects name having Product prefix.Preserve the CUSTOM backup by take custom.pll file. Late it can be used to migrate to new release. Customized forms with 6i will need to upgrade to 10g.



Step 4 : Perform Product Specific Tasks

Customer Relationship Management Tasks

Financials and Procurement Tasks

Leasing and Finance Management Tasks

Projects Tasks

Public Sector/University Tasks

Supply Chain Management Tasks

Database Upgrade



Step 5 : Prepare for Upgrade

1 : Gather schema statistics for CBO

Submit a Concurrent Request “Gather Schema Statistics” by providing schema name to All. It is a Required Step

2 : Take cold Backup of the Database

3: Run Rapid Install

Run Wizard to lay down the file system and install the new technology stack for the upgraded version.

It may have errors because of the database has been yet upgraded.
