Hi,

I am planning to upgrade a 9i database to 10g.
I have the 10g software installed and CPU is also applied.
After the upgrade do i need to run the catcpu.sql or is it automatically run when catupgrd.sql is run?

Please read & follow posting guidelines as stated in URL above

Perhaps my eyesight is failing me, but what OS is under the DB?

On RH Linux V10.2.0.3 system, I don't have any catcpu.sql file.

Hi anacedent,

10.2.0.3 on SunOS 5.9...
By catcpu.sql i mean to say the script that we run to appply the critical patch.

Do we need to run this script after upgrading the database from 9i to 10g as the CPU is only applied to 10g software?

I actually did an upgrade before and after the upgrade if i run

select * from registry$history; it doesn't show me anything.
whereas in other 10g db's it gives the patch name.

Forgive me for NOT being a mind reader.

>By catcpu.sql i mean to say the script that we run to appply the critical patch.

>"the script"?
>"critical patch"?


>Do we need to run this script after upgrading the database from 9i to 10g as the CPU is only applied to 10g software?

>"this script"?

To take a V9 database to V10.2.0.3, you need to follow the steps in the V10.2.0.1 Installation Guide
and then follow the installation instructions which come with V10.2.0.3 patchset.

I suggest you do not try going in a single step as that it not supported.
In any case, I hope you have good backups & a documented & tested restoration procedure.

thanks all..

i got the solution from Metalink..here's what it says

Since the CPU patch software was already installed before upgrading the database, do you still need to run the CPU post-install steps, like catcpu.sql?


Solution
Yes, you must still run the CPU post-install steps like catcpu.sql, even though the CPU software was already installed before you upgraded the database. The CPU post-install steps, like catcpu.sql, ensure the database objects are updated for the CPU.

For all Oracle Database releases, you must run the post-installation steps (that is, the catcpu.sql script) for any new database you create or database upgraded to this release since the CPUApr2008 patch was applied.

Since you are doing a manual upgrade, you should also read over Note: 316889.1 that reiterates running the catcpu.sql after upgrade.

Even Oracle Corp. also recommended to DBUA. but it is always best to use MANUAL UPGRADE procedure becuase we have full control on upgrade what is going on.
