Oracle 9.2 on Solaris 10 SPARC box

[ganimede_dignan]

Hi,

have you already install Oracle 9.2 as new installation on a Solaris 10 SPARC box ? I check in PAM that patch set 9.2.0.6 in required ... but do you know if exist a particular procedure ? Install 9.2 at fist and then patch it to 9.2.0.6 is OK for a Solaris 10 box ?

Regards.

Ganimede,

Yes, that is correct. For a new install, there is a 2 step process:

1) Install the base 9.2.0 version of Oracle.

2) Install your target patch level - in can be 9.2.0.6 or 9.2.0.8 (latest)

After the patch set installation, continue your SAP install. You are OK.

Just curious - with Oracle 9i going out of maintenance next year, why not just goto Oracle 10?

Cheers,

Tim

It is a strategic and politic change from out-sourcing to in-sourcing migration, we haven't time time to test new Oracle release.

Hi after the installation of patchset 9.2.0.8 you have to install also interim patch listed in SAPNet otherwise you can experience severe performance problemes or even data corrupttion.

Thanks,

Oh... I pay attention on it.

Regards.

Can I restore from 9.2.0.6 backup to a new system 9.2.0.8 ?

yes, but you will need to run a few SQL scripts such as catpatch and catalog. check 9.2.0.8 upgrade instructions.
