1. Make sure the source environment is in stable state:
    11.1.0.6 Startup Database
    Alert log location: $ORACLE_BASE/diag/rdbms/idea/idea/trace

2. Download the 11gR2 software into the stage from where it needs to be installed.

3. Oracle Database Pre-installation Requirements

Checking the Hardware Requirements:-

The system must meet the following minimum hardware requirements:

1. Memory Requirements
    1. At least 1 GB of RAM
    # grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo

    2. Determine the size of the configured swap space
    # grep SwapTotal /proc/meminfo

    The following table describes the relationship between installed RAM and the configured swap space requirement:
    |-------------------------------------------------------|
    |RAM                                     |   Swap Space                         |
    |-------------------------------------------------------|
    |Between 1 GB and 2 GB    |   1.5 times the size of RAM |
    |Between 2 GB and 16 GB  |   Equal to the size of RAM  |
    |More than 16 GB                |   16 GB                                   |
    |-------------------------------------------------------|

    3. To determine the available RAM and swap space, enter the following command:
    # free

2. System Architecture
    # uname -m

3. Disk Space Requirements
    1. At least 1 GB of disk space in the /tmp directory
    # df -h /tmp

    If the free disk space available in the /tmp directory is less than what is required,
    then complete one of the following steps:

    a) Delete unnecessary files from the /tmp directory to meet the disk space
    requirement.
    b) Set the TMP and TMPDIR environment variables when setting the oracle
    user’s environment.

    2. To determine the amount of free disk space on the system, enter the following command:
    # df -h

    The following tables describe the disk space requirements for software files,
    and data files for each installation type on Linux x86:

    Installation Type     Requirement for Software Files (GB)
    Enterprise Edition     3.95
    Standard Edition     3.88

    Installation Type     Disk Space for Data Files (GB)
    Enterprise Edition     1.7
    Standard Edition     1.5

Checking the Software Requirements:-

1. Operating System & Kernel Requirements
    Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 Update 7
    Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 Update 2

    To determine the distribution and version of Linux installed, enter the following command:
    # cat /proc/version
    Alternatively, you can also enter the following command on some distributions of Linux:
    # lsb_release -id

    Oracle Enterprise Linux 4, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4:
    2.6.9 or later
    Oracle Enterprise Linux 5, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5:

5. Pre-Upgrade steps:

    5.1 Executing Pre-Upgrade Tool:
    Before you start the upgrade process, to identify these checks.
        5.1.1 Copy utlu112i.sql from 11gR2 OH i.e $ORACLE_BASE/db/11.2/rdbms/admin
        to $HOME [ Assuming 11gR2 is Installed $ORACLE_BASE/db/11.2 ]
        5.2.2 Login as SYSDBA
        SQL> SPOOL $HOME/UpgDir/upgrade_info.log
        SQL> @utlu112i.sql
        SQL> SPOOL OFF

    Review the log file and take necesary actions. Then continue with upgrade.

    5.2 Correcting the Warnings [if any] found in above step

        5.2.1 WARNING : Database is using an old time zone file version. After the upgrade,
        patch the database time zone file version using DBMS_DST package to record latest time zone file version.

            startup upgrade
            SPOOL upgrade.log
            @catupgrd.sql

7. Post-Upgrade steps:

    7.1 Post-Upgrade Tool
    Run utlu112s.sql to display the results of the upgrade:
        SQL> SPOOL $HOME/UpgDir/postupgrade_status.log
        SQL> @utlu112s.sql

        Oracle Database 11.2 Post-Upgrade Status Tool           05-07-2010 01:08:37

    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

    7.2 Post-Upgrade Actions
    Run catuppst.sql, located in the ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin directory, to
    perform upgrade actions that do not require the database to be in UPGRADE mode:
        SQL> SPOOL $HOME/UpgDir/postupgrade_status.log
        SQL> @catuppst.sql

    7.3 Compiling Invalid Objects:
    Compiling Ivalid objects:
        SQL> SPOOL $HOME/UpgDir/Compile_Invalid.log
        SQL> @utlrp.sql
        SQL> SPOOL OFF

    7.4 Updating the RDBMS DST version in 11gR2 (11.2.0.1 and up) -- Webiv Note 977512.1
    Oracle 11.2.0.1 has by default all RDBMS DST updates from DSTv1 to DSTv11 included in the software installation.
    These files are found in $ORACLE_HOME/oracore/zoneinfo and have a prefix indicating the DST version.

        7.4.1 check current RDBMS DST version and "DST UPGRADE STATUS".
            conn / as sysdba
            SELECT PROPERTY_NAME, SUBSTR(property_value, 1, 30) value
            FROM DATABASE_PROPERTIES
            WHERE PROPERTY_NAME LIKE 'DST_%'
            ORDER BY PROPERTY_NAME;

            Check that the output gives

            -- PROPERTY_NAME VALUE
            -- ------------------------------ ------------------------------
            -- DST_PRIMARY_TT_VERSION <the old DST version number>
            -- DST_SECONDARY_TT_VERSION 0
            -- DST_UPGRADE_STATE NONE

            -- DST_PRIMARY_TT_VERSION should match the value found when selecting

        7.4.2 SELECT version FROM v$timezone_file;
            VERSION
            ----------
            4

        7.4.3 Do the actual RDBMS DST version update of the database
            7.4.3.1 Change DB into Upgrade Mode
                conn / as sysdba
                shutdown immediate;
                startup upgrade;
                set serveroutput on
                purge dba_recyclebin;

            7.4.3.2 Clean used tables
                TRUNCATE TABLE SYS.DST$TRIGGER_TABLE;
                TRUNCATE TABLE sys.dst$affected_tables;
                TRUNCATE TABLE sys.dst$error_table;

            7.4.3.3 start upgrade window
                EXEC DBMS_DST.BEGIN_UPGRADE(<the new DST version number>);
                SQL> EXEC DBMS_DST.BEGIN_UPGRADE(11);

                SELECT PROPERTY_NAME, SUBSTR(property_value, 1, 30) value
                FROM DATABASE_PROPERTIES
                WHERE PROPERTY_NAME LIKE 'DST_%'
                ORDER BY PROPERTY_NAME;

                SELECT OWNER, TABLE_NAME, UPGRADE_IN_PROGRESS FROM ALL_TSTZ_TABLES where UPGRADE_IN_PROGRESS='YES';

            7.4.3.4 Restart the Database
                shutdown immediate
                startup
                set serveroutput on

            7.4.3.5 Upgrade the tables who need action
                VAR numfail number
                BEGIN
                DBMS_DST.UPGRADE_DATABASE(:numfail,
                parallel => TRUE,
                log_errors => TRUE,
                log_errors_table => 'SYS.DST$ERROR_TABLE',
                log_triggers_table => 'SYS.DST$TRIGGER_TABLE',
                error_on_overlap_time => FALSE,
                error_on_nonexisting_time => FALSE);
                DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Failures:'|| :numfail);
                END;
                /

                VAR fail number
                BEGIN
                DBMS_DST.END_UPGRADE(:fail);
                DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Failures:'|| :fail);
                END;
                /

            7.4.3.6 Verify the Timezone Upgrade
                SELECT PROPERTY_NAME, SUBSTR(property_value, 1, 30) value
                FROM DATABASE_PROPERTIES
                WHERE PROPERTY_NAME LIKE 'DST_%'
                ORDER BY PROPERTY_NAME;

                SELECT * FROM v$timezone_file;
