The 4 parts of the Lab:

1. Upgrade an Oracle 11.2.0.4 database (SID: UPGR) to Oracle 12.1.0.2

2. Plug in the upgrade UPGR database into an existing Oracle 12.1.0.2 container database (SID: CDB2)
3. Migrate an Oracle 11.2.0.4 database (SID: FTEX) to Oracle 12.1.0.2 using Full Transportable Export/Import into a
new pluggable database PDB2

[optional]:
4. Work with Multitenant databases and implement new Oracle Database 12c features

Before you can start you may have to setup a few things and make yourself familiar with the environment

HOW TO COPY/PASTE WITH THE OKULAR PDF VIEWER

This VM includes the okular PDF reader, which is available in the Linux distribution. In order to copy/paste with
okular, you need to use the “Select Tool.” If you have these instructions open within the VM, then you can see the
select tool at the top of the window. It is the box with the dashed outline as shown here:

Once you choose the Select Tool, this will be the default unless you change it. Then you can select an area and copy
the selection as text. Choose the Text -> “Copy to Clipboard” option as in this example from the first steps in the lab:

HOL – Part 1– Upgrade the Oracle 11.2.0.4 database UPGR to Oracle Database 12.1.0.2
Database files location: /oradata/UPGR
Initialization parameter and password file location: /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbs
Listener configuration: /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/network/admin

Tasks HOL Part 1

Your task in HOL Part 1 will be a simple and straightforward database upgrade to Oracle Database 12c. Everything is installed already.
Your Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.4) database (SID: UPGR) is startup already and ready to go. Now follow all steps and
upgrade it.

You will use the new pre-upgrade check script preupgrd.sql which will examine your UPGR database. This script is shipped with the
new Oracle 12c home in /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/rdbms/admin

You will then prepare your UPGR database for the upgrade to Oracle Database 12c and upgrade it. The database will stay in place and
doesn’t get moved to another location.

Remarks:
For this hands-on lab we have provided easy commands to switch environments! You can switch between environments on the bash
shell prompt typing ((don’t type “$>“!!!) in every Terminal/xterm:

6

SID: UPGR – Oracle 11.2.0.4 home SID: UPGR – Oracle 12.1.0.2 home
$> . upgr $> . upgr12

<dot> <space> upgr for the Oracle 11.2.0.4 environment with <dot> <space> upgr12 for the Oracle 12c environment with
your database to be upgraded (SID: UPGR) your database to be upgraded (SID: UPGR)

*** START HERE *** Command Line Upgrade from Oracle 11.2.0.4 to Oracle 12.1.0.2 ***
In this section you’ll execute the new preupgrd.sql check script, verify the output, execute some commands and a fixup script and
prepare a new spfile for the upgrade. Then you’ll copy the spfile and the password file to the new Oracle Database 12c home.

SID: UPGR SID: UPGR

Oracle 11.2.0.4 home Oracle 12.1.0.2 home

Execute pre-upgrade preparation steps

1. Open an xterm (Terminal icon) -
(right mouse click è Konsole ...)

. upgr
sqlplus / as sysdba

2. Run the new preupgrade check script preupgrd.sql, in your 11.2.0.4 environment – it will generate
3 files:

@$OH12/rdbms/admin/preupgrd.sql

3. Verify the preupgrade.log and make necessary changes
Open a 2nd xterm (right mouse click è Konsole ...):

less /u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/UPGR/preupgrade/preupgrade.log
7


The 11.2.0.4 database has the OLAP Catalog (AMD) component installed, and this component is no
longer included in Oracle Database starting with Oracle Database 12c.
Remove the OLAP Catalog (AMD) component using the script from the 12.1.0.2 Oracle Home ($OH12):

@$OH12/olap/admin/catnoamd.sql
commit;

The preupgrade log includes a message about moving audit data from system.aud$ to sys.aud$ because
Oracle Label Security is installed.
Move the AUD$ table now using the olspreupgrade.sql script from the Oracle Database 12c
home from SYSTEM to SYS:

@$OH12/rdbms/admin/olspreupgrade.sql

Prepare your spfile for the 12c upgrade according to the output from preupgrade.log:
(Please note: Best Practice would be to edit the init.ora for the upgrade manually. You could do so – the
way we propose here is just a shortcut avoiding manual edit steps)

create pfile from spfile;
alter system set processes=300 scope=spfile;

Raise COMPATIBILE for the upgrade, so that we can use this database later in part 2 of the lab.

alter system set COMPATIBLE='12.1.0' scope=spfile;

4. Gather dictionary stats prior to the upgrade:

EXECUTE dbms_stats.gather_dictionary_stats;

5. Execute the preupgrade_fixups.sql – it was created by preupgrd.sql in directory
/u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/UPGR/preupgrade


8



Be aware that the preupgrade_fixups.sql will display warnings about things you may have fixed already.
Please ignore this as it is static information which got created during the run of preupgrd.sql and does
not get updated when you fix issues being signaled. This is a known issue and will be changed in a future
release of Oracle.

@/u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/UPGR/preupgrade/preupgrade_fixups.sql

Please note that the preupgrade_fixups.sql script will still complain about PROCESSES being set
too low. This is because we have used the ALTER SYSTEM command to adjust the parameter, but that
adjustment will not take effect until the database is shutdown and restarted. Because we specified
SCOPE=SPFILE, this parameter will be set correctly for the upgrade.

6. Shutdown the UPGR database:

shutdown immediate
exit

7. Copy your new spfile and your password file into the Oracle 12c home’s dbs ($OH12/dbs) directory:
cp $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfileUPGR.ora $OH12/dbs/

cp $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapwUPGR $OH12/dbs/

9

 SID: UPGR SID: UPGR
Oracle 11.2.0.4 home Oracle 12.1.0.2 home

Execute all parallel upgrade steps

Now you’ll upgrade your UPGR database to Oracle Database 12c using the new parallel upgrade scripts.
Furthermore you’ll recompile and check for invalid objects before/after the upgrade.

1. Open an xterm (Terminal icon) -
(right mouse click è Konsole ...)

. upgr12
sqlplus / as sysdba

2. Bring the UPGR database into UPGRADE mode

startup upgrade
exit

3. Upgrade the UPGR database with the parallel upgrade script
Start the new parallel upgrade – it will be driven by a PERL script catctl.pl outside of SQL*Plus and execute
in 4 parallel threads – in maximum you could run with 8 parallel threads by specifying the parameter
option -n 8

cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
$ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl catctl.pl catupgrd.sql

You will now see that as many as 73 phases will be listed – some can act in parallel, other require serial
execution. This will now take up to 15-30 minutes depending on your system. If you wonder about the
RESTART phases: those happen if timing dependencies make it necessary to rerun a certain action. The
logfiles will be written by default into the directory from which you started catctl.pl,
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin

10

 Once the upgrade is finished it will shutdown the database and in the next phase you’ll restart it in normal
mode.



IF YOUR MACHINE IS WELL EQUIPPED WITH RAM/CPU YOU MAY DO TASKS
IN PARALLEL AND START WITH PART 3 (FULL TRANSPORTABLE EXPORT).
GOTO PAGE 15 – HOL PART 3

Finalize the upgrade with all required post upgrade steps

During this part you’ll finalize the upgrade with recompilation, postupgrade_fixups.sql and the time zone
adjustment to TZ V18. Startup the database – post upgrade it is shutdown:

1. Open an xterm (Terminal icon) -
(right mouse click è Konsole ...)

. upgr12
sqlplus / as sysdba

2. Startup the UPGR database and recompile everything:

startup
@?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql

11

 3. Execute the postupgrade_fixups.sql:

@/u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/UPGR/preupgrade/postupgrade_fixups.sql

4. Adjust Time Zone settings – you may look into the scripts taken from MOS Note: 1509653.1 before
executing them:

@/home/oracle/DST/DST_prepare.sql
@/home/oracle/DST/DST_adjust.sql
exit

HOL – Part 2 – Plug in UPGR into CDB2, an Oracle Database 12.1.0.2 container database
Database files location: /oradata/UPGR
Initialization parameter and password file location: /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbs
Listener configuration: /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/network/admin

Tasks HOL Part 2

Oracle Multitenant Option is a way to consolidate several independent databases into one large Container Database. The CDB$ROOT
is the administrative layer and contains absolutely no user or application data. The PDBs that are plugged into the CDB contain the user
and application data. With Oracle Database 12c Release 1 you can have up to 252 PDBs within one CDB.

Applications and clients will connect to the PDB just as they would connect to a non-CDB. The entire CDB/PDB shares one SGA, one set
of background processes, one redo log stream.
In HOL Part 2 you will plug in the already upgraded UPGR database as a new pluggable database PDB1 into the already existing
Container Database CDB2. The data files of UPGR will stay in place.

SID: UPGR – Oracle 12.1.0.2 home SID: CDB2 – Oracle 12.1.0.2 home
$> . upgr12 $> . cdb2

with your database to be plugged in later (SID: UPGR) to the Container Database (SID: CDB2)

13


*** START HERE *** Plug in UPGR into CDB2 ***
In this section an XML description file for UPGR will be created and used to plug UPGR into CDB2 as new PDB1. Finally sanity operations
will have to be done to assimilate UPGR finally as PDB2.

Please note: There's no ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE … RECONVERT command available. To migrate a database back into a stand-
alone database either Data Pump, Transportable Tablespaces or similar techniques will need to be used.

SID: UPGR SID: CDB2

Oracle 12.1.0.2 home Oracle 12.1.0.2 home

Prepare the UPGR database for plug in

1. Switch to the UPGR Oracle 12.1.0.2 environment:

. upgr12
sqlplus / as sysdba

2. Start the UPGR database in read-only mode:

shutdown immediate
startup open read only;

3. Generate the XML description file – this file will contain the information describing the database
structure. To create it the database UPGR has to be in read only mode:

exec DBMS_PDB.DESCRIBE('/tmp/pdb1.xml');

4. Shutdown the database

shutdown immediate
exit

14



SID: UPGR SID: CDB2

Oracle 12.1.0.2 home Oracle 12.1.0.2 home
Prepare the UPGR database for plug in

1. Switch to the CDB2 Oracle 12.1.0.2 environment:

. cdb2
sqlplus / as sysdba

2. Startup the CDB2, a precreated Oracle 12c (12.1.0.2) Container Database:

startup

3. Check plug in compatibility first:

SET SERVEROUTPUT ON

DECLARE
compatible CONSTANT VARCHAR2(3) := CASE
DBMS_PDB.CHECK_PLUG_COMPATIBILITY( pdb_descr_file => '/tmp/pdb1.xml',
pdb_name => 'PDB1') WHEN TRUE THEN 'YES' ELSE 'NO'
END;
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(compatible);
END;
/

4. Now plug in the database with its new name PDB1 – from this point there’s no UPGR database anymore.
In a real world environment you would have a backup or use a backup/copy to plug in. In our lab the
database UPGR will stay in place and become PDB1 as part of CDB2.
Please use the proposed naming as the TNS setup has been done already.
Use the NOCOPY option for this lab to avoid additional 2-3 minutes copy time
15



create pluggable database PDB1 using '/tmp/pdb1.xml' nocopy tempfile

reuse;

5. Connect to this new PDB1 and perform sanity operations:

alter session set container=PDB1;
@?/rdbms/admin/noncdb_to_pdb.sql

Sanity operations required inside the PDB to connect the PDB with the CDB correctly. Therefore run the
script noncdb_to_pdb.sql – this may take a approx 10-20 minutes to complete due to
recompilations. If the script didn't get executed the PDB1 would open in restricted mode only.

5. Now the database UPGR is plugged in – but not open yet. It will need to be started.

startup
show pdbs
exit

6. To connect to the consolidated PDB1 from the command prompt the following command syntax needs
to be used:

sqlplus "sys/oracle@pdb1 as sysdba"
As an alternative you could use the EZconnect syntax:
sqlplus "sys/oracle@//localhost:1521/pdb1 as sysdba"

HOL – Part 3 – Migrate FTEX database with Full Transportable Export/Import into PDB2
Database files location: /oradata/FTEX
Pluggable database files location: /oradata/CDB2/pdb2
Initialization parameter and password file location: /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/dbs
Listener configuration: /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/network/admin

Tasks HOL Part 3

Full Transportable Export/Import is a new Oracle Database 12c upgrade and migration feature combining the speed of Transportable
Tablespaces with the ease-of-use of Data Pump taking care of all metadata and non-transportable data.

Your task in HOL Part 3 will be to use Full Transportable Export/Import to migrate the existing Oracle 11.2.0.4 database FTEX into a
new PDB2 which will belong to the container database CDB2. Please stay with the proposed names (PDB2) as the TNS setup has been
set up already to allow connections etc.

This feature works independent of Oracle Multitenant and platform and can be used to migrate cross Endianness as well. Source
database version has to be at least Oracle 11.2.0.3, target version needs to be at least Oracle 12.1.0.1. For cross-platform migrations
RMAN backups with CONVERT operations will be necessary.

SID: FTEX – Oracle 11.2.0.4 home SID: CDB2 – Oracle 12.1.0.2 home
$> . ftex $> . cdb2
<dot> <space> ftex for the Oracle 11.2.0.4 environment with <dot> <space> cdb2 for the Oracle 12c environment connecting
your database to be plugged in later (SID: FTEX) to the Container Database (SID: CDB2)

17

 *** START HERE *** Migrate FTEX with Full Transportable Export/Import into PDB2 ***
The first task in the lab will be to provide an empty database – something we would do for a full import or for transportable
tablespaces as well. But in this specific case we want to consolidate, and therefore pre-create an empty PDB2 (a Pluggable Database)
inside the already existing CDB2 (the Container Database).

SID: FTEX SID: CDB2

Oracle 11.2.0.4 home Oracle 12.1.0.2 home

Provision PDB2 from PDB$SEED:

1. Switch to the Oracle 12c CDB2 environment:

. cdb2
sqlplus / as sysdba

startup [ONLY ISSUE THIS COMMAND IF YOU ARE STILL RUNNING HOL PART1]

2. Create a new pluggable database PDB2:

The easiest way to create an empty PDB is to clone it from the template PDB called PDB$SEED which
exists in every container database. The location to create it is defined by the init parameter
PDB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT. It is already set in CDB2 to have the new and empty PDB2 created in
/oradata/CDB2/pdb2 directory.

Create an empty PDB by cloning the PDB$SEED:

create pluggable database PDB2 admin user adm identified by adm
file_name_convert=('/oradata/CDB2/pdbseed', '/oradata/CDB2/pdb2');

This will take 1-2 minutes.

18


Start the new pluggable database PDB2:

alter session set container=pdb2;
startup

3. Create a directory object and a database link inside the PDB2 – you will need this for the full
transport operation - the directory /oradata/CDB2/mydir has been precreated as well for Data
Pump

create directory mydir as '/oradata/CDB2/mydir';
grant read, write on directory mydir to system;
create public database link SOURCEDB connect to system identified by
oracle using 'FTEX';
exit

SID: FTEX SID: CDB2

Oracle 11.2.0.4 home Oracle 12.1.0.2 home

Prepare the FTEX database for the Full Transportable Export/Import

In order to run the Full Transportable operation we must set all data tablespaces into read-only mode.
This is the same procedure we would follow for a regular transportable tablespace operation. Once the
tablespace is in read-only mode we can copy the file(s) to the target location

1. Switch to the Oracle 12c UPGR environment:

. ftex
sqlplus / as sysdba

19

 2. Start the FTEX database and switch data tablespaces (here: USERS) into read-only mode:

startup
alter tablespace users read only;
exit

3. Copy the files to the target location

cp /oradata/FTEX/users01.dbf /oradata/CDB2/pdb2

SID: FTEX SID: CDB2

Oracle 11.2.0.4 home Oracle 12.1.0.2 home

Data migration via Full Transportable Export/Import from FTEX into PDB2

The Data Pump import will be run through the database link you created earlier – thus no need for an
export or a dumpfile. Data Pump will take care of everything (currently except XDB and AWR) you
need from the system tablepaces and move views, synonyms, trigger etc over to the target database
(in our case: PDB2).

1. Switch to the Oracle 12c CDB2 environment:

. cdb2

2. Execute the Full Transportable Export/Import with Data Pump

impdp system/oracle@pdb2 network_link=sourcedb version=12 full=y \

transportable=always metrics=y exclude=statistics directory=mydir \
logfile=pdb2.log \
transport_datafiles='/oradata/CDB2/pdb2/users01.dbf'



20

 In case copy&paste does not work we have prepared a par file in /home/oracle/IMP.
The PDB2 is open and ready to use after the Transport migration has completed:

sqlplus "system/oracle@PDB2"

HOL – Part 4 – Create PDB3 in Oracle 12.1.0.1 and upgrade via plug out/in to Oracle 12.1.0.2
Database files location: /oradata/CDB1/pdb3
Pluggable database files location: /oradata/CDB2/pdb3

Listener configuration: /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/network/admin

Tasks HOL Part 4

One technique to upgrade pluggable databases in a Multitenant environment is unplug-plugin. This approach gives a lot of control over
a pluggable database upgrade but requires manual steps, similar to the command line upgrade.

In this part of the HOL a new PDB will be created in an Oracle 12.1.0.1 CDB1 and upgraded via unplug/plugin into the Oracle 12.1.0.2
CDB2.

Create a new pluggable database PDB3:

1. Switch to the Oracle 12.1.0.1 CDB1 environment:

. cdb1
sqlplus / as sysdba

2. Start the CDB1 container database – it has no PDBs yet (except for PDB$SEED):

startup

3. Create a new pluggable database PDB3 and start it:

create pluggable database PDB3 admin user adm identified by adm
file_name_convert=( '/oradata/CDB1/pdbseed', '/oradata/CDB1/pdb3');
This will take 1-2 minutes.

alter session set container=pdb3;
startup

4. Execute the preupgrade check script

@/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/rdbms/admin/preupgrd.sql

23

 4. Verify the preupgrade.log and make necessary changes
Open a 2nd xterm (right mouse click è Konsole ...):

less /u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/CDB1/preupgrade/preupgrade.log

5. Gather dictionary stats prior to the upgrade:

EXECUTE dbms_stats.gather_dictionary_stats;

6. Execute the preupgrade_fixups.sql – it got created by preupgrd.sql run in directory
/u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/CDB1/preupgrade

@/u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/CDB1/preupgrade/preupgrade_fixups.sql

7. Switch to the CDB$ROOT layer, close the pluggable database PDB3 and unplug it

alter session set container=CDB$ROOT;
alter pluggable database PDB3 close;
alter pluggable database PDB3 unplug into '/tmp/pdb3.xml';
drop pluggable database PDB3 keep datafiles;

1. Switch to the Oracle 12.1.0.2 CDB2 environment:

. cdb2
24

 sqlplus / as sysdba

2. Execute the Plug In Check and check PDB_PLUG_IN_VIOLATIONS when the result of the plug in check is
"NO":

SET SERVEROUTPUT ON

DECLARE
compatible CONSTANT VARCHAR2(3) := CASE
DBMS_PDB.CHECK_PLUG_COMPATIBILITY(
pdb_descr_file => '/tmp/pdb3.xml',
pdb_name => 'PDB3')
WHEN TRUE THEN 'YES' ELSE 'NO'
END;
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(compatible);
END;
/

select message, status from pdb_plug_in_violations where type like

'%ERR%';

3. Plug in the PDB3 into CDB2

create pluggable database pdb3 using '/tmp/pdb3.xml' file_name_convert=(
'/oradata/CDB1/pdb3', '/oradata/CDB2/pdb3');

4. Open PDB3 in UPGRADE mode and upgrade it

alter pluggable database PDB3 open upgrade;
exit

cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
$ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl catctl.pl -c 'PDB3' catupgrd.sql

25



5. Recompile after upgrade

show pdbs

exit

NN SID: CDB2 è PDB3

Oracle 12.1.0.2 home

Finally a few CDB/PDB exercises
First test will introduce you to the new CDB views. Therefore we create a simple table and check its visibility within the dictionary views

1. Connect directly to PDB1 in the Oracle 12.1.0.2 environment:

. cdb2
sqlplus "sys/oracle@//localhost:1521/pdb1 as sysdba"

2. Create a table and insert data:

create table HOL (col1 number);
insert into HOL values (1);
commit;

3. Connect directly to PDB2:

26

 alter session set container=PDB2;



4. Create a table and insert data:

create table HOL (col1 number);
insert into HOL values (2);
commit;

5. Connect directly to PDB3:

alter session set container=PDB3;

6. Create a table and insert data:

create table HOL (col1 number);
insert into HOL values (2);
commit;

7. Connect directly to CDB$ROOT:

alter session set container=cdb$root;

8. Query the data from the CDB_Views:

select CON_ID, SUBSTR(TABLE_NAME,1,10) TNAME from CDB_TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME='HOL';

You'll see that each table HOL within a certain PDB is visible to the CDB$ROOT. But if you'd repeat the exercise within each of the
PDBs you'll see just the contents on a PDB level. Recognize the CON_ID which represents where an object exists.
