            [-mode <analyze|fixups|postfixups>]

            [-debug]


-help*

Displays available options.


Example:

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -help


-version


Displays the AutoUpgrade version


Example:

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -version


-listchecks


List all checks or specified check


Example:

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -listchecks

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -listchecks ORACLE_RESERVED_USERS


-error_code [errorcode]


errorcode  - Error to be filtered .


Displays the AutoUpgrade error codes


Example:

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -error_code

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -error_code UPG-3101


-create_sample_file <config [filename] [type] | settings [filename]>


type     = [full*|unplug|noncdbtopdb]

config   - Creates a sample configuration file.

settings - Creates a sample internal configuration file to

overwrite default configuration settings.

filename - The name of the config or settings file to create.

type     - The type of config file to generate.


Creates a sample configuration file that can be used as reference.


Example:

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -create_sample_file settings settings.cfg

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -create_sample_file config config.cfg

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -create_sample_file config config.cfg unplug


-settings <settings_path>


settings_path - Path to internal settings file to overwrite the

                default values.


Overwrites the default internal settings.

This is not needed for most cases.


Example:

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -settings settings.cfg -config config.cfg -mode analyze


-config <config_path>


config_path - User config file with the databases to upgrade or patch.


Specifies the user config file with the database(s) to upgrade or patch.


Example:

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -config config.cfg -mode analyze


-config_values <config_values>


config_values - User input comma-separated list where *

                separates database entries.


Specifies the content of the configuration file without creating one,

it will read the ORACLE_HOME,ORACLE_SID,ORACLE_TARGET_HOME

and ORACLE_TARGET_VERSION from the environmental variables.


Example:

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -config_values "source_home=value,...*,source..." -mode analyze


-preupgrade <preupgrade>


preupgrade - User input comma-separated preupgrade options.


Makes the autoupgrade behave as the legacy preupgrade tool,

it will read the target ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_VERSION

from the environmental variables.


Example:

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -preupgrade "target_version=21,dir=/tmp/log" -mode fixups


-clear_recovery_data [-jobs jobs_number]


jobs_number - comma-separated list of jobs to clear


Removes the recovery information which causes AutoUpgrade to start from

scratch on the specified or all databases. Use after manually restoring a

database and attempting a new upgrade or patch.

If no list of jobs is provided by default all the metadata is removed,

this will not remove log files or reset the jobid counter, only the

AutoUpgrade files used to keep track of the progress of each job.


Example:

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -config config.cfg -clear_recovery_data

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -config config.cfg -clear_recovery_data -jobs 111,222


-mode <mode>


mode = <analyze|fixups|deploy|upgrade|postfixups>

analyze  -   Executes the checks in the source home

             database readiness status.

fixups   -   Executes the checks and pre-upgrade fixups but does not perform

             the upgrade or patch.

deploy   -   Performs the upgrade or patching of the databases from start to end.

upgrade  -   Performs the database upgrade or patching and post actions.

             The database must already be up and running in the target home.

postfixups - Executes the postfixups in the target home.


Mode on which the AutoUpgrade will start and behave.


Example:

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -config config.cfg -mode analyze

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -config config.cfg -mode deploy

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -preupgrade "target_version=21" -mode fixups


-load_password


Initiates an interactive console allowing passwords to be

loaded into AutoUpgrade's keystore


-console*


Start the AutoUpgrade with the console enabled.


-noconsole


Start the AutoUpgrade with the console disabled.


-restore_on_fail


If present, when a job fails, the database is restored automatically.

Errors in PDBs are not considered irrecoverable, only errors in

CDB$ROOT or Non-CDBs


-debug


Debug messages enabled


-restore -jobs <job#,job#,...>


job#,job#,... - comma-separated jobs list to restore


Executes a system-level restoration of the specified jobs.

The databases are flashed back to the Guarantee Restore Point (GRP).

The GRP must have been created by AutoUpgrade prior this command is run.

The console is disabled by default.


Example:

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -config config.cfg -restore -jobs 111

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -config config.cfg -restore -jobs 111,222 -console

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -config config.cfg -restore -jobs 111,222 -noconsole


-zip [-sid <sid>] [-d <dir>] [-zip_exclusion_list <list>]


-sid <sid>  - Zip file will contain all the SIDs that are given in a

              comma separated list.

-d <dir>    - Directory path to save AutoUpgrade zip

-zip_exclusion_list <list> - A double comma separated regular string list to exclude all matched files in the zip file


Zips up log files required for filing an AutoUpgrade service request

If no "sid" is passed, it will create a zip file for all databases

in the config file.

If "zip_exclusion_list" is passed, it will exclude all files that match zip_exclusion_list


Example:

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -config config.cfg -zip

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -config config.cfg -zip -sid db18700

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -config config.cfg -zip -sid db18700,db19300

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -config config.cfg -zip -zip_exclusion_list "db18700/.*"

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -config config.cfg -zip -sid db18700 -d /tmp/

java -jar autoupgrade.jar -config config.cfg -load_win_credential <prefix>

- Opens a WinCredential cmdlet which prompts for user name and password and stores the values into an encrypted credential.

How to Switch Log File from All Instances in RAC

<<Back to Oracle RAC Main Page Switch The Log File of All Instances in Oracle RAC. In many cases you need to switch the logfile of the database. You can switch logfile using alter system switch logfile command but if you want to switch the logfile from all the instances you need to execute the command on all the instances individually and therefore you must login on all the instances. You can avoid this and switch logfile of all instances by just running the below command from any of the instance in RAC database SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH ALL LOGFILE;   System altered.

ORA-46630: keystore cannot be created at the specified location

<<Back to DB Administration Main Page ORA-46630: keystore cannot be created at the specified location CDB011> ADMINISTER KEY MANAGEMENT CREATE KEYSTORE '+DATAC4/CDB01/wallet/' IDENTIFIED BY "xxxxxxx"; ADMINISTER KEY MANAGEMENT CREATE KEYSTORE '+DATAC4/CDB01/wallet/' IDENTIFIED BY "EncTest123" * ERROR at line 1: ORA-46630: keystore cannot be created at the specified location Cause  Creating a keystore at a location where there is already a keystore exists Solution To solve the problem, use a different location to create a keystore (use ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION in sqlnet.ora file to specify the keystore location), or move this ewallet.p12 file to some other location. Note: Oracle does not recommend deleting keystore file (ewallet.p12) that belongs to a database. If you have multiple keystores, you can choose to merge them rather than deleting either of them.
