1.1  Backup 10.1.3 ORACLE HOME

ð  Ensure that you backup you 10g Application server home before upgrade.
[ajithpathiyil1:applmgr:/u023/app/applmgr/R12/TEST59/apps/tech_st]echo $ORACLE_HOME
/u023/app/applmgr/R12/TEST59/apps/tech_st/10.1.2

[ajithpathiyil1:applmgr:/u023/app/applmgr/R12/TEST59/apps/tech_st]echo $IAS_ORACLE_HOME
/u023/app/applmgr/R12/TEST59/apps/tech_st/10.1.3

[ajithpathiyil1:applmgr:/u023/app/applmgr/R12/TEST59/apps/tech_st]tar –cvf 10.1.2.tar 10.1.2
[ajithpathiyil1:applmgr:/u023/app/applmgr/R12/TEST59/apps/tech_st]tar –cvf 10.1.3.tar 10.1.3


ð  Follow metalink document 455492.1 to upgrade JAVA version in 10.1.3 ORACLE HOME.
ð   


ð  Change the environment using below env files so that the ORACLE_HOME variable points to 10.1.3.


[ajithpathiyil1:applmgr:/home/applmgr] cd $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3
[ajithpathiyil1:applmgr:/home/applmgr] ls *.env
TEST59_ajithpathiyil1.env
[ajithpathiyil1:applmgr:/home/applmgr] . ./TEST59_ajithpathiyil1.env
[ajithpathiyil1:applmgr:/home/applmgr] echo $ORACLE_HOME
/u023/app/applmgr/R12/TEST59/apps/tech_st/10.1.3


ð  Add $ORACLE_HOME variable as a pre-requisite of upgrade.


[ajithpathiyil1:applmgr:/home/applmgr]export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/ant/bin


ð  OPatch version must be above 1.0.0.0.58. Use patch number 6880880 and select version '10.1.0.0.0'.


[ajithpathiyil1:applmgr:/home/applmgr] cd $ORACLE_HOME
[ajithpathiyil1:applmgr:/home/applmgr]mv $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch_bkp
[ajithpathiyil1:applmgr:/home/applmgr]unzip –d $ORACLE_HOME p6880880_101000_AIX64-5L.zip



You will have to modify the 10.1.3.5 Patch set home to install this fix. Unzip 10.1.3.5 patch set (8626084) and make changes as below from patch 8920270 readme file.
a. Make sure the 10.1.3.5 Patch set home is in a writable location.
b. Backup $PATCHSETHOME/Disk1/stage/Patches/oracle.as.j2ee.top/10.1.3.5.0/1/DataFiles/other.jar
     to $PATCHSETHOME/Disk1/stage/Patches/oracle.as.j2ee.top/10.1.3.5.0/1/DataFiles/other.jar.pre8920270
c. Copy the other.jar provided in this patch to the location
      $PATCHSETHOME/Disk1/stage/Patches/oracle.as.j2ee.top/10.1.3.5.0/1/DataFiles/other.jar



This is root.sh script change after runInstaller.
a.     Run the below command to avoid any permission issues.
[ajithpathiyil1:applmgr:/home/applmgr] chmod –R go-rwx $ORACLE_HOME

 

 

Also follow the below steps.

a. Open the root.sh script in an editor (having taken a backup copy first), and locate the following line:

    chmod -R go-rwx $ORACLE_HOME

b. Add the following lines after this line:

   chmod go+r $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/libexec/*.so

   chmod go+r $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/modplsql

 


1.8   Change the false path


ð  A false entry is present due to some bug in different configuration files.
Replace entry -à/data1/R12/ab/apps/XB9R1211/apps/tech_st/10.1.3
By entry -à /u023/app/applmgr/R12/TEST59/apps/tech_st/10.1.3
Change the entry in the files mentioned in the attached list. We have to change the entries in at least $ORACLE_HOME/inventory/ContentsXML/comps.xml file.
The OPMN process must be running before starting the installer. So start it if it is down

[ajithpathiyil1:applmgr:/home/applmgr]adopmnctl.sh start

1.10  Run the installer to upgrade 10g AS

The OPMN process must be running before starting the installer. So start it if it is down
ð  GO to the directory where 10.1.3.5 patch set (8626084) is unzipped. And start run installer.


[ajithpathiyil1:applmgr:/u099/app]cd Disk1
[ajithpathiyil1:applmgr:/u099/app/Diak1] ls
bug_6258398_071004.zip  bug_6265268_071004.zip  doc  install  readme.html  runInstaller  stage

Uncheck the check box and click ‘Next’.

 

Click ‘Yes’ on the Warning message box. And the installer will proceed.


 


Supply the oc4jadmin password which is ‘secret’ or ‘oafm’.


The installer will need to bounce the middle tier so it will ask to stop the opmnctl. Execute the steps as mentioned in the Warning box.


Finally Summary screen will appear, click ‘Install’ to proceed.



Ignore the “Text file is busy errors’ if any, and proceed.

Once the installer completes to 100%, it will request to run root.sh file from root user.
Run the script and click ‘OK’.

Installer will apply the patches and once all the patches are done installer will show “End of Installation“ screen.
