ensure sqlplus is 19.0.0.0 and the Version is 19.x.x.x
Create pfile=’init<TARGET>.ora’ from spfile;
Shutdown the Upgraded Database
Add this line back to the pfile
*.sec_case_sensitive_logon=FALSE
Remove this line in the pfile
*._fix_control='9185228:0'
Add / modify the following lines to help with performance in 19c
*._fix_control='27500916:0'
*.event = '10946 trace name context forever, level 65536'
*.compatible='19.0.0'
*.open_cursors=1500
*.optimizer_adaptive_plans=FALSE
*.optimizer_adaptive_statistics=FALSE
*.optimizer_index_cost_adj=25
*.optimizer_features_enable='19.1.0'
*.processes=1500
*.temp_undo_enabled=TRUE
*.pga_aggregate_limit=0
Copy the tnsnames.ora into the version 19 admin path
Remove the spfile
Startup database
Create spfile=’spfile<TARGET>.ora’ from pfile;
GRANT INHERIT PRIVILEGES ON USER SYS TO PILATDBA;
GRANT INHERIT PRIVILEGES ON USER SYS TO IBMS;
grant select on SYS.DBA_SCHEDULER_RUNNING_JOBS to IBMS with grant option;
@?/rdbms/admin/execemx emx
Restart the Database
Execute the below using PILATDBA user.
BEGIN
privs.dev('C');
compile_all;
init_ibms_table_column;
PILATDBA.refresh_ibms_procedure_args;
COMMIT;
END;
