Check the installed version of OPatch and MOPatch

In the 'README.html' generated document, this can be found:

You must use OPatch version 11.2.0.3.7 for installing this SBP. Later 11.2 OPatch versions are supported as well, but Oracle recommends to use version 11.2.0.3.7, since it has been fully tested to interoperate with this SBP.

We can check the 'opatch' version provided with the SBP as user 'oracle':

$ ./opatch version

========================================================

GENERIC OPATCH VERSION - FOR USE IN SAP ENVIRONMENT ONLY

========================================================

OPatch Version: 11.2.0.3.7

OPatch succeeded.

This version is the recommended one, so we must use it.

On the other hand, version available in $ORACLE_HOME

$ ./opatch version

========================================================

GENERIC OPATCH VERSION - FOR USE IN SAP ENVIRONMENT ONLY

========================================================

OPatch Version: 11.2.0.3.1

OPatch succeeded.

Is not recent enough, so we need to update this version with the one provided with the SBP. Also we update the MOPatch folder.

$ cp -R MOPatch/ $ORACLE_HOME

$ cp -R OPatch/ $ORACLE_HOME

Prerrequisites for installing the patches

Environment variables IHRDBMS, OHRDBMS and SBPFUSER must be set for user 'oracle':

IHRDBMS → path of the RDBMS software installation home. The standard location is /oracle/database-name/11203 or /oracle/RDBMS/11203.

OHRDBMS → path of the RDBMS runtime home. The standard location is /oracle/database-name/112 or /oracle/database-name/112_64.

SBPFUSER → /sbin/fuser

For doing this, we need to edit the file “.bash_profile” located at “/home/oracle”. Bear in mind that this file starts with “.” and it will not be listed using “ls”, but using “ls -a” instead.

So, editing the file with “nano”, it will look like this:

# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then

. ~/.bashrc

fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

export ORACLE_SID=MW1

export ORACLE_BASE=/oracle/

export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/MW1/112_64

export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH

export IHRDBMS=/oracle/MW1/11203

export OHRDBMS=/oracle/MW1/11203

export SBPFUSER=/sbin/fuser

Run the bundle patch migration script if your Oracle Home has a SAP Bundle Patch earlier than 201406 installed.

Do not run the bundle patch migration script if you do not have any SAP Bundle Patch installed or if you have a SAP Bundle Patch 201406 or later installed.

If the bundle patch migration script reports that an Oracle Home is not ready for bundle patch migration, check its output and log file for details and resolve the issues. For up-to-date information on trouble shooting, see also SAP Note 2011199 SAP Bundle Patches (SBP) - structure changes starting with June 2014.

Installing the SAP Bundle patch

Stop Oracle processes

Stop all database applications, in particular all SAP applications.

Shut down the database instances, the listeners, and other processes running from the Oracle Home.

After having shut down all database processes as described in the previous step, use the fuser OS command to check for stale SQL*Plus sessions:
$SBPFUSER $IHRDBMS/bin/oracle

If that command reports running processes, these are stale SQL*Plus sessions, which you can safely terminate with the 'kill' command.

Run the installation script

Install the SAP Bundle Patch as follows: go to the folder where the downloaded .zip file was downloaded and, once there, type:

$ /bin/sh $ORACLE_HOME/MOPatch/mopatch.sh -v -s SAP11203P_1508-20009981.zip

Downloading Oracle Software

Software must be downloaded from SAP Service Markeplace.

This is the path to follow:

Once downloaded, we must uncompress the “rar” files and the containing “*.SAR” files.

SAPCAR -xvf OR112164.SAR

SAPCAR -xvf OR212164.SAR

SAPCAR -xvf OR312164.SAR

SAPCAR -xvf OR412164.SAR

SAPCAR -xvf OR512164.SAR

SAPCAR -xvf OR612164.SAR

SAPCAR -xvf OR712164.SAR

SAPCAR -xvf OR812164.SAR

In order to get the installation software.

Installing Oracle 12.1 database software

Backup Oracle Inventory

Before installing the new software, it's recommendable to back up the central Oracle inventory

# cd /etc

# tail oraInst.loc

inventory_loc=/oracle/oraInventory

inst_group=dba

cd /oracle

cp -rp oraInventory/ oraInventory.18112015.backup

Update RUNINSTALLER

Check the version of the 'RUINSTALLER' script and compare it to the one available in 1915301 - Database Software 12.1.0.2 Installation on Unix

./RUNINSTALLER -version

. RUNINSTALLER 12.1.0.2.0 (058)

. Oracle Release 12.1.0.2.0

. Release date 2015-03-02

. Patch level 058

. Release status rel

. SAP note 1915301

In this case, the available version in the SAP Note is 59 so it must be updated by overwriting it.

# ./RUNINSTALLER -version

. RUNINSTALLER 12.1.0.2.0 (059)

. Oracle Release 12.1.0.2.0

. Release date 2015-06-02

. Patch level 059

. Release status rel

. SAP note 1915301

Now we can continue.

Check software installation prerequisites

Log as user 'oracle'. Variable 'DISPLAY' must be set and DB_SID. File '.bash_profile' must be edited in order to make this change permanent. This file will look like this one:

# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then

. ~/.bashrc

fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

export ORACLE_SID=MW1

export IHRDBMS=/oracle/MW1/11203

export OHRDBMS=/oracle/MW1/11203

export SBPFUSER=/sbin/fuser

export DB_SID=MW1

We must log out and login again in order to make the change efective.

$ echo $DB_SID

MW1

./RUNINSTALLER -check

We get the following screenshots

We must execute the script.

# ./runfixup.sh

All Fix-up operations were completed successfully.

Now all the checks are correct:

Installing the new Oracle Database 12c Software

We must execute 'RUNINSTALLER' as user 'oracle'. We get different screenshots. Please, copy the answers we provide in this guide.

# ./root.sh

Now product-specific root actions will be performed.

Installing the SAP Bundle Patch for Oracle 12.1

We need to download the last available SBP from https://support.sap.com/software/databases.html

When writing this guide, the lastest available is SAP12102P_1509-20012300.ZIP.

Stop Oracle processes

Stop all database applications, in particular all SAP applications.

Shut down the database instances, the listeners, and other processes running from the Oracle Home.

After having shut down all database processes as described in the previous step, use the fuser OS command to check for stale SQL*Plus sessions:
$SBPFUSER $IHRDBMS/bin/oracle

If that command reports running processes, these are stale SQL*Plus sessions, which you can safely terminate with the 'kill' command.

Setting variables

Before proceeding we need to set the parameters IHRDBMS & OHRDBMS for the environment variable of user ‘oracle’.

For doing this and make the changes permanent, we must edit the file '.bash_profile' located at /home/oracle and make look like this one. After that, log out and log in with user 'oracle' to make changes effective.

# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then

. ~/.bashrc

fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

export ORACLE_SID=MW1

Run the installation script

After reading the documentation, we must set the enviroment variable ORACLE_HOME as the same value of IHRDBMS for user 'oracle'. In this case:

# export ORACLE_HOME=$IHRDBMS

# echo $ORACLE_HOME

/oracle/MW1/121

This change is not permanent and it is only for this session and the patching execution. For executing the the installation script:

Database Upgrade pre-tasks

Pre-upgrade scripts

Before executing the upgrade, it's necessary to execute some scripts.

SQL scripts that are located in '<NEW_ORACLE_HOME>/sap/ora_upgrade/pre_upgrade' are intended to be run from the old Oracle home environment before the upgrade.

SQL scripts that are located in '<NEW_ORACLE_HOME>/sap/ora_upgrade/post_upgrade' are intended to be run from in the new Oracle home environment after the upgrade.

All Pre- and Post-Upgrade SQL scripts must be run by an Oracle database administrator account in the environment of the current Oracle home. Pre-Upgrade scripts are run in the environment of the Oracle 11 home before the upgrade, post-upgrade SQL scripts are run in the environment of the Oracle 12 home after the upgrade.

Execute as 'oracle':

$ sqlplus /"as sysdba"

SQL> @ pre_upgrade_checks.sql

Follow the different recommendations that can be addressed on the script. When creating this guide, we were asked to execute this script: /oracle/cfgtoollogs/MW1/preupgrade/preupgrade_fixups.sql

As a result, we executed on sqlplus:

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET PROCESSES=300 SCOPE=SPFILE;

There were other recommendations but they may conflict with SAP ones.

After executing it, we execute:

$ sqlplus /"as sysdba"

SQL> @pre_upgrade_tasks.sql

Its execution takes some time. After its execution, we can execute once again 'pre_upgrade_checks.sql' and see the results. If there is a warning about the database parameter 'remote_os_authent=TRUE' it can be ignored safely:

SQL> @ pre_upgrade_checks.sql

Database backup

It's a must to have a complete and usable database backup. Otherwise you might lose data if the upgrade fails.

Shut down SAP System

SAP system must be completely turned off. If it was not already, it can be stopped by typing

stopsap r3

and SAP application server with 'sapcontrol' too:

sapcontrol -nr <SAP_instance_number> -function Stop

Using the Database Upgrade Assistant

The DBUA is a graphical tool that leads you step-by-step throught the upgrade.

Prerequisites

Make sure that user 'oracle' has permissions 664 on the file 'oratab'. It is located in /etc:

$ ls -l oratab

-rw-rw-r--. 1 oracle oinstall 813 Nov 18 01:45 oratab

Make sure that this file contains the entry <DBSID>:<Oracle_home>:N

MW1:/oracle/MW1/11203:N #ADDED FOR THE DATABASE UPGRADE

Make a backup of the /<old_oracle_home>/network/admin

$ pwd ## WE ARE IN THE RIGHT PATH

/oracle/MW1/11203/network

$ cp -R admin admin.backup

Set variables ORACLE_HOME_SRC, ORACLE_HOME_TGT.

$ export ORACLE_HOME_SRC=/oracle/MW1/11203

$ export ORACLE_HOME_TGT=/oracle/MW1/12102

$ echo $ORACLE_HOME_SRC

/oracle/MW1/11203

$ echo $ORACLE_HOME_TGT

/oracle/MW1/12102

DB_SID and ORACLE_BASE are already set in '.bash_profile'

$ echo $DB_SID

MW1

$ echo $ORACLE_BASE

/oracle/

Make sure that the instance which is running is the one with the old Oracle home. ORACLE_HOME must point to the old path instead of the new one.

Also, assure that no “zombie” Oracle processes are running in the server.

Change to the correct directory and execute and execute a script for verifying that environment for the upgrade is correct:

cd /oracle/MW1/12102/sap/ora_upgrade/post_upgrade

$ ./dbua.sap.sh -q
