Upgrading to Oracle Database 19c (Non-CDB) - 11g to 19c
This article provides an overview of upgrading an existing non-CDB database to Oracle 19c. Upgrades can be very complicated, so you must always read the upgrade manual, and test thoroughly before considering an upgrade of a production environment.
This article also includes the conversion of the upgraded database to a pluggable database. You don't have to do this step if you want a non-CDB instance.
Remember, 19c is essentially 12.2.0.3, so the possible upgrade options will be similar to those described in upgrading to Oracle Database 12c.
Related articles.
Assumptions
This article is focused on upgrading a non-CDB database. If your starting point is a database using the multitenant architecture, you should be reading one of the following articles instead.
This article assumes your source database is of a version supported for direct upgrade to 19c.
11.2.0.4, 12.1.0.2, 12.2.0.1, 18
In this example we are doing an upgrade from 11.2 to 19c. The process is very similar for all supported versions, but the pre-upgrade and post-upgrade fixup actions may vary a little.
It's important to have backups of everything before you start! Some of these steps are destructive, and if something goes wrong you have no alternative but to restore from backups and start again.
Remember, this article is not a replacement for reading the upgrade documentation. Each upgrade has the potential to be different, depending on what options are installed.
Prerequisities
Make sure you have all the OS prerequisites in place by running the 19c preinstall package. On Oracle Linux you can do this by installing the preinstall package. It probably makes sense to update the remaining packages also.
yum install -y oracle-database-preinstall-19c
yum update -y
Install 19c Software
You can read about the installation process in more detail here, but for this example I'll keep it brief. The following commands will perform a silent installation of the 19c software.
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1
export SOFTWARE_DIR=/u01/software
export ORA_INVENTORY=/u01/app/oraInventory
mkdir -p ${ORACLE_HOME}
cd $ORACLE_HOME

As a root user, execute the following script(s):
1. /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1/root.shAt this point you should also patch the new Oracle home, but in this case we will forgo that step to keep things simple.
Run preupgrade.jar
Download the latest "preupgrade.jar" file from MOS 884522.1. If you don't have MOS access you can miss out the next step.
At the time of writing, the latest preupgrade.jar is the one shipped with 19c, so there is no need to download a newer one. I's worth checking to see if this situation has changed when you do your upgrade.
Put the latest "preupgrade.jar" into the 19c Oracle home.
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1
cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
unzip -o /u01/software/preupgrade_19_cbuild_??_lf.zip
Make sure you are using the original Oracle home and run the "preupgrade.jar".
export ORACLE_SID=db11g
export ORAENV_ASK=NO
. oraenv
export ORAENV_ASK=YES
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.2.0.4/db_1

==============
BEFORE UPGRADE
==============
REQUIRED ACTIONS
================
None
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
===================
1. Update NUMERIC INITIALIZATION PARAMETERS to meet estimated minimums.
This action may be done now or when starting the database in upgrade mode
using the 19 ORACLE HOME.
Parameter Currently 19 minimum
--------- --------- ------------------
processes 150 300
The database upgrade process requires certain initialization parameters
to meet minimum values. The Oracle upgrade process itself has minimum
values which may be higher and are marked with an asterisk. After
upgrading, those asterisked parameter values may be reset if needed.
2. Remove the EM repository.
- Copy the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/emremove.sql script from the target
19 ORACLE_HOME into the source 11.2.0.4.0 ORACLE_HOME.
Step 1: If database control is configured, stop EM Database Control,
using the following command
$> emctl stop dbconsole
Step 2: 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.
The database has an Enterprise Manager Database Control repository.
Starting with Oracle Database 12c, the local Enterprise Manager Database
Control does not exist anymore. The repository will be removed from your
database during the upgrade. This step can be manually performed before
the upgrade to reduce downtime.
3. Remove OLAP Catalog by running the 11.2.0.4.0 SQL script
$ORACLE_HOME/olap/admin/catnoamd.sql script.
The OLAP Catalog component, AMD, exists in the database.
Starting with Oracle Database 12c, the OLAP Catalog (OLAP AMD) is
desupported and will be automatically marked as OPTION OFF during the
database upgrade if present. Oracle recommends removing OLAP Catalog
(OLAP AMD) before database upgrade. This step can be manually performed
before the upgrade to reduce downtime.
4. Upgrade Oracle Application Express (APEX) manually before the database
upgrade.
The database contains APEX version 3.2.1.00.12. Upgrade APEX to at least
version 18.2.0.00.12.
Starting with Oracle Database Release 18, APEX is not upgraded
automatically as part of the database upgrade. Refer to My Oracle Support
Note 1088970.1 for information about APEX installation and upgrades.
5. (AUTOFIXUP) Gather stale data dictionary statistics prior to database
upgrade in off-peak time using:
EXECUTE DBMS_STATS.GATHER_DICTIONARY_STATS;
Dictionary statistics do not exist or are stale (not up-to-date).
Dictionary statistics help the Oracle optimizer find efficient SQL
execution plans and are essential for proper upgrade timing. Oracle
recommends gathering dictionary statistics in the last 24 hours before
database upgrade.
For information on managing optimizer statistics, refer to the 11.2.0.4
Oracle Database Performance Tuning Guide.
6. (AUTOFIXUP) Directly grant ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER privilege to the
owner of the trigger or drop and re-create the trigger with a user that
was granted directly with such. You can list those triggers using: SELECT
OWNER, TRIGGER_NAME FROM DBA_TRIGGERS WHERE
TRIM(BASE_OBJECT_TYPE)='DATABASE' AND OWNER NOT IN (SELECT GRANTEE FROM
DBA_SYS_PRIVS WHERE PRIVILEGE='ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER').
There is one or more database triggers whose owner does not have the
right privilege on the database.
The creation of database triggers must be done by users granted with
ADMINISTER DATABASE TRIGGER privilege. Privilege must have been granted
directly.
7. (AUTOFIXUP) Gather statistics on fixed objects prior the upgrade.
None of the fixed object tables have had stats collected.
Gathering statistics on fixed objects, if none have been gathered yet, is
recommended prior to upgrading.
For information on managing optimizer statistics, refer to the 11.2.0.4
Oracle Database Performance Tuning Guide.
INFORMATION ONLY
================
8. To help you keep track of your tablespace allocations, the following
AUTOEXTEND tablespaces are expected to successfully EXTEND during the
upgrade process.
Min Size
Tablespace Size For Upgrade
---------- ---------- -----------
SYSAUX 490 MB 738 MB
SYSTEM 740 MB 1175 MB
TEMP 29 MB 150 MB
UNDOTBS1 70 MB 446 MB
Minimum tablespace sizes for upgrade are estimates.
9. Run $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catnoexf.sql located in the new Oracle
Database Oracle home to remove both EXF and RUL.
Expression Filter (EXF) or Rules Manager (RUL) exist in the database.
Starting with Oracle Database release 12.1, the Expression Filter (EXF)
and Database Rules Manager (RUL) features are desupported, and are
removed during the upgrade process. This step can be manually performed
before the upgrade to reduce downtime.
10. Check the Oracle Backup and Recovery User's Guide for information on how
to manage an RMAN recovery catalog schema.
If you are using a version of the recovery catalog schema that is older
than that required by the RMAN client version, then you must upgrade the
catalog schema.
It is good practice to have the catalog schema the same or higher version
than the RMAN client version you are using.
ORACLE GENERATED FIXUP SCRIPT
=============================
All of the issues in database DB11G
which are identified above as BEFORE UPGRADE "(AUTOFIXUP)" can be resolved by
executing the following
SQL>@/u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/db11g/preupgrade/preupgrade_fixups.sql
=============
AFTER UPGRADE
=============
REQUIRED ACTIONS
================
None
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
===================
11. Upgrade the database time zone file using the DBMS_DST package.
The database is using time zone file version 14 and the target 19 release
ships with time zone file version 32.
Oracle recommends upgrading to the desired (latest) version of the time
zone file. For more information, refer to "Upgrading the Time Zone File
and Timestamp with Time Zone Data" in the 19 Oracle Database
Globalization Support Guide.
12. To identify directory objects with symbolic links in the path name, run
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utldirsymlink.sql AS SYSDBA after upgrade.
Recreate any directory objects listed, using path names that contain no
symbolic links.
Some directory object path names may currently contain symbolic links.
Starting in Release 18c, symbolic links are not allowed in directory
object path names used with BFILE data types, the UTL_FILE package, or
external tables.
13. (AUTOFIXUP) Gather dictionary statistics after the upgrade using the
command:
EXECUTE DBMS_STATS.GATHER_DICTIONARY_STATS;
Oracle recommends gathering dictionary statistics after upgrade.
Dictionary statistics provide essential information to the Oracle
optimizer to help it find efficient SQL execution plans. After a database
upgrade, statistics need to be re-gathered as there can now be tables
that have significantly changed during the upgrade or new tables that do
not have statistics gathered yet.
14. Gather statistics on fixed objects after the upgrade and when there is a
representative workload on the system using the command:
EXECUTE DBMS_STATS.GATHER_FIXED_OBJECTS_STATS;
This recommendation is given for all preupgrade runs.
Fixed object statistics provide essential information to the Oracle
optimizer to help it find efficient SQL execution plans. Those
statistics are specific to the Oracle Database release that generates
them, and can be stale upon database upgrade.
For information on managing optimizer statistics, refer to the 11.2.0.4
Oracle Database Performance Tuning Guide.
INFORMATION ONLY
================
15. Check the Oracle documentation for the identified components for their
specific upgrade procedure.
The database upgrade script will not upgrade the following Oracle
components: OLAP Catalog,OWB
The Oracle database upgrade script upgrades most, but not all Oracle
Database components that may be installed. Some components that are not
upgraded may have their own upgrade scripts, or they may be deprecated or
obsolete.

$Perform Pre-Upgrade Actions
The output from the "preupgrade.jar" lists a number of pre-upgrade recommendations. Some must be manually applied. Others are incorporated into the "preupgrade_fixups.sql" script. In the following example we run all the manual operations as well as the "preupgrade_fixups.sql" script.
# 1) Increase the processes parameter.
sqlplus / as sysdba <<EOF
alter system set processes=300 scope=spfile;
shutdown immediate;
startup;
exit;

# 3) Remove OLAP catalog.
sqlplus / as sysdba <<EOF
@$ORACLE_HOME/olap/admin/catnoamd.sql
exit;
EOF
# 4) Ignoring the APEX upgrade. This is a junk test instance. Normally APEX would be at latest version.
# 5) Included in AUTOFIXUP.
# 6) This will be unnecessary after removal of EM repository above.
# 7) Included in AUTOFIXUP.
# Recompile invalid objects.
sqlplus / as sysdba <<EOF

exit;
EOF
Upgrade the Database
With the pre-upgrade actions complete we can start the upgrade. Shutdown the source database.
sqlplus / as sysdba <<EOF
shutdown immediate;
exit;

Copy the config files from the old to the new Oracle home. You should check the contents of the "listener.ora" file to see if there are any references to the Oracle home path. If there are, amend them.
cp $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/*.ora $ORACLE_BASE/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1/network/admin
# Add this to $ORACLE_BASE/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1/network/admin/sqlnet.ora
# Need to correct password versions and remove this.

$The database is shutdown at the end of the upgrade process, so you need to start it before moving on to the post-upgrade actions.

Perform Post-Upgrade Actions
The output from the "preupgrade.jar" lists a number of post-upgrade recommendations. Some must be manually applied. Others are incorporated into the "postupgrade_fixups.sql" script. In the following example we run all the manual operations as well as the "postupgrade_fixups.sql" script.

EOFAssuming you didn't hit any problems along the way, your database is upgraded and ready to go now. The following steps are only necessary if you want to convert the non-CDB instance to a pluggable database (PDB).
Create New Container Database (CDB)
There are a number of considerations when creating a container database, but for this example we will keep it simple. The command below creates a new container database (CDB) with no user-defined pluggable databases (PDBs).
# Create new instance.
export SYS_PASSWORD=SysPassword1
export ORACLE_SID=cdb1
dbca -silent -createDatabase \
-templateName General_Purpose.dbc \
-gdbname ${ORACLE_SID} -sid ${ORACLE_SID} -responseFile NO_VALUE \
-characterSet AL32UTF8 \
-sysPassword ${SYS_PASSWORD} \
-systemPassword ${SYS_PASSWORD} \
-createAsContainerDatabase true \
-numberOfPDBs 0 \
-databaseType MULTIPURPOSE \
-memoryMgmtType auto_sga \
-totalMemory 2000 \
-storageType FS \
-datafileDestination "/u02/oradata/" \
-redoLogFileSize 500 \
-emConfiguration NONE \
-ignorePreReqsFor a proper conversion we would have to make sure the CDB had all necessary configuration in place, including options and initialisation parameters. We will ignore the rest of the instance setup to keep it simple.
Convert Non-CDB to PDB
Describe the non-CDB instance and turn it off.
export ORACLE_SID=db11g
sqlplus / as sysdba <<EOF
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
STARTUP OPEN READ ONLY;
BEGIN
DBMS_PDB.DESCRIBE(
pdb_descr_file => '/u01/software/db11g.xml');
END;
/
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
exit;
EOFCreate a PDB using description of the non-CDB, moving the datafiles into the new location, remembering to run the "noncdb_to_pdb.sql" to clean up before opening the pluggable database.
export ORACLE_SID=cdb1
mkdir -p /u02/oradata/CDB1/pdb1/
sqlplus / as sysdba <<EOF
CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE pdb1 USING '/u01/software/db11g.xml'
MOVE
FILE_NAME_CONVERT = ('/u02/oradata/db11g/', '/u02/oradata/CDB1/pdb1/');
ALTER SESSION SET CONTAINER=pdb1;
@$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/noncdb_to_pdb.sql
ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE OPEN;
ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE SAVE STATE;
exit;
EOFFinal Steps
We need to clean up the remains of the non-CDB instance. We can use the DBCA to do this.
dbca -silent -deleteDatabase -sourceDB db11g -sysDBAUserName sys -sysDBAPassword ${SYS_PASSWORD}We can delete any remaining files.
rm /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/db_1/dbs/*db11g*
rm /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/dbhome_1/dbs/*db11g*
rm -Rf $ORACLE_BASE/admin/db11g
rm -Rf /u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/db11g
rm -Rf /u02/oradata/db11g
Edit the "/etc/oratab" file as required.
If you are using APEX or ORDS, you probably want to validate them (validate APEX, validate ORDS).

Hope this helps. Regards Tim...
