Usage Notes

This specification applies to all databases in the user configuration file.

Example

global.add_after_upgrade_pfile=/path/to/my/add_after.ora

Usage Notes

This specification applies to all databases in the user configuration file.

Example

global.add_during_upgrade_pfile=/path/to/my/add_during.ora

Usage Notes

The script that you use must be in the form of name.ext (for example, myscript.sh, so that AutoUpgrade can identify the type of script that you want to run. Permitted extension options:

• Unix shell (.sh)
• Microsoft Windows batch (.bat, .cmd)
• Microsoft Windows PowerShell (.ps1)

By default, if the script fails, then AutoUpgrade continues to run. Use the Y flag to specify that AutoUpgrade stops if the operating system detects that your script fails. If the script finishes with a status different than 0, then it is considered a failed completion.

The output of the script is captured and stored in files. Both stdout and stderr are captured. The files are stored in the postupgrade subdirectory in the directory matching the specific database or job.

The following environment variables are set in the shell that runs the script:

• ORACLE_SID
• ORACLE_UNQNAME
• ORACLE_BASE
• ORACLE_HOME
• TNS_ADMIN

Examples

If the script fails, then stop AutoUpgrade:

global.after_action=/path/to/my/script.sh Y 

If the script fails, then continue AutoUpgrade:

global.after_action=/path/to/my/script.sh

Usage Notes

This parameters is now deprecated in favor of global_log_dir, which is now used with both AutoUpgrade upgrades and patching.

You can configure different log directory path in the userconfig file in the logs directory for a specific prefix

This parameter cannot be used with AutoUpgrade Patching.

If you do not set this parameter to a path, then by default the log files are placed in the location indicated by the orabase utility for the databases that you include in your configuration file. In that case, the default logs directory is in the path ORACLE_BASE/cfgtoollogs/autoupgrade.

If the orabase utility fails for all databases included in the configuration file, then the log file location is then based on the temp directory for the user running AutoUpgrade.

Examples

global.autoupg_log_dir=/path/to/my/global/log/dir

Configure different log directory path in the userconfig file in the logs directory for a specific prefix

global.autoupg_log_dir=/path/to/my/global/log/dir
myprefix.log_dir=global.global_log_dir:different/path

The result of using this syntax is that log files and temporary files are placed in the following path for databases identified by the prefix myprefix:

/path/to/my/global/log/dir/different/path

Usage Notes

The script that you use must be in the form of name.ext (for example, myscript.sh), so that AutoUpgrade can identify the type of script that you want to run. If you want to have a script run before a specific upgrade job, then specify that script by using the local parameter (local.before_action)

Permitted extension options:

• Unix shell (.sh)

• Microsoft Windows batch (.bat, .cmd)

• Microsoft Windows PowerShell (.ps1)

By default, if the script fails, then AutoUpgrade continues to run. Use the Y flag to specify that AutoUpgrade stops if the operating system detects that your script fails. If the script finishes with a status different than 0, then it is considered a failed completion.

The output of the script is captured and stored in files. Both stdout and stderr are captured. The files are stored in the preupgrade subdirectory in the directory matching the specific database or job.

The following environment variables are set in the shell that runs the script:

• ORACLE_SID
• ORACLE_UNQNAME
• ORACLE_BASE
• ORACLE_HOME
• TNS_ADMIN

Examples

If the script fails, then stop AutoUpgrade:

global.before_action=/path/to/my/script.sh Y 

If the script fails, then continue AutoUpgrade:

global.before_action=/path/to/my/script.sh

Usage Notes

This specification applies to all databases in the user configuration file.

Example

global.del_after_upgrade_pfile=/path/to/my/del_after.ora

Usage Notes

This specification applies to all databases in the user configuration file.

Example

global.del_during_upgrade_pfile=/path/to/my/del_during.ora

Usage Notes

This configuration parameter is used for patching and upgrade. This parameter replaces autoupg_log_dir parameter, which is deprecated. You can configure a different log directory path in the userconfig file in the logs directory for a specific prefix.

If you do not set this parameter to a path, then by default the log files are placed in the location indicated by the orabase utility for the databases that you include in your configuration file. In that case, the default logs directory is in the path ORACLE_BASE/cfgtoollogs/autoupgrade_patching.

If the orabase utility fails for all databases included in the configuration file, then the log file location is then based on the temp directory for the user running AutoUpgrade.

Examples

global.global_log_dir=/path/to/my/global/log/dir

Configure different log directory path in the userconfig file in the logs directory for a specific prefix

global.global_log_dir=/path/to/my/global/log/dir
myprefix.log_dir=global.global_log_dir:different/path

The result of using this syntax is that log files and temporary files are placed in the following path for databases identified by the prefix myprefix:

/path/to/my/global/log/dir/different/path

The following is an example of a configuration file suing the global_log_dir parameter:

global.global_log_dir=/logs/patching
global.keystore=/secure/keystore
upg1.sid=DB19X
upg1.source_home=/databases/19x/dbhome_1
upg1.target_home=/databases/19x/dbhome_2
upg1.folder=/storage/patches
upg1.download=YES

Usage Notes

This parameter specifies how often the AutoUpgrade progress JSON report is written. If you do not set this parameter, then by default the AutoUpgrade progress JSON report interval is 30 seconds

Example

In the following example, global.json_progress_writing_interval=90 is used to specify that the JSON progress report is written every 90 seconds to the log directory specified by global.autoupg_log_dir:

global.json_progress_writing_interval=90
global.autoupg_log_dir=/path/to/my/global/log/dir

Usage Notes

You can use the keystore parameter to specify where you want AutoUpgrade to create a dedicated software keystore that is used exclusively by AutoUpgrade.

The AutoUpgrade keystore contains the file ewallet.p12 (similar to other kind of keystores used by the database). The file is created when you use the save command in the TDE prompt. If you choose to generate an auto-login keystore, then the file cwallet.sso is created as well. If you have an auto-login keystore, then AutoUpgrade does not prompt for a keystore password when AutoUpgrade starts.

The keystore generated by AutoUpgrade contains sensitive information, and is protected by a password that you choose when the keystore is used for the first time. Each time changes are made to the keystore, the password must be supplied. Unless you decide to create an auto-login keystore for AutoUpgrade, each time you start AutoUpgrade, and AutoUpgrade requires information from the keystore, you must provide the keystore password.

Example

In the following example, replace ORACLE_SID with the system identifier of the database using the keystore.

global.keystore=/etc/oracle/keystores/ORACLE_SID/autoupgrade

Usage Notes

The upgrade.xml generated is equivalent to the file in earlier releases that the preupgrade package generated when you specified the XML parameter. This file is created during the analyze mode (mode -analyze). It is generated in the prechecks directory defined for the AutoUpgrade log files.

Options

[yes | no]

The default value is no.

Example

global.upgradexml=yes
