2. EBS Pre Upgrade Steps from 11.5.10.2 to R12.1.

2.1 Disable Archive log

SQL> startup mount

All that is left is to disable archive log mode and open the database.
SQL> alter database noarchivelog;

Database altered.

SQL> alter database open;

Database altered.

2.2 Download and apply TUMS patch 7705743

unzip patch 7705743

apply patch using with adpatch

Patch will create adtums.sql. Run the sql script to generate TUMS report

It will create the file adtums.sql and run this sql like below cd
$ sqlplus apps/paswwd
SQL> @adtums.sql

It will generate the TUMS report like tumsr12.html. Based on this report we need to proceed with upgrade.

Search html report on db node.

Run the TUMS report and send to functional team
2.3 Apply 11i.AD.I.6 (conditional)

SQL> select patch_level from apps_fnd.fnd_product_installations where patch_level like '%AD

%';

PATCH_LEVEL
-------------------
11i.AD.I.6

SQL> select bug_number from ad_bugs where bug_number='7429271';

No rows

Current Java version

appmgr@tkofdbvm-2 >java -version

java version "1.6.0_43"

2.4 Back up database, Applications, and customizations

Done.

2.5 Convert to Multiple Organizations architecture

SQL> select multi_org_flag from fnd_product_groups;

2.6 Shut down application services and apply RDBMS patches

For all UNIX/Linux platforms ( Around 2 Hours to apply these patches)
Patch 4247037
Post steps: connect to the database using sqlplus / as sysdba
sqlplus> @catmgdidcode

If checking with patchset_mgdapp_validity.sql you find invalid objects. Please run

$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql which should resolve any issues.

Apply these Patches

Patch 9858539
Patch 12834800
Patch 12942119
 Patch 12951696

Postinstallation
----------------------
After you install the patch, reload the packages into the Oracle Database.
For example, for RDBMS, connect as SYSDBA and run the following:

SQL> @?/sqlpatch/12951696/postinstall.sql

Patch 12985184
Patch 13001379
Patch 13004894

 3. Creating Upgrade file system for R12.1.1

3.1 Install the R12.1.1 in Upgrade mode in rapidwiz

appluat@ >pwd
/r12_upgrade/R12soft/R12sw/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz
appluat@kofpchdb
3.2 Shutdown the 11G database and listener

3.3 Source ENV of R12.1.1

3.4 Start-up the Database 11.2.0.3 Home and listener

3.5 Relinking and copy lib file from patch 20 Minutes

Run following Relinks

adrelink.sh force=y "ad adworker"

adrelink.sh force=y "ad adpatch"
adrelink.sh force=y "ad adpatchnew"
adrelink.sh force=y "ad adadmin
adrelink.sh force=y "ad adadminnew
adrelink.sh force=y "ad all"
a.) adadmin
b.) select --> '2. Maintain Applications Files menu'
c.) select --> '1. Relink Applications programs'
--> select all modules to relink

3.6 Apply upgrade driver patches

/r12_upgrade/R12.1.1Preinstallpatches/u_merged.drv

Adpatch preinstall=y

Patch 16791553 along with Finance pre upgrade patch documented in 1127593.1
 /r12_upgrade/R12.1.1Preinstallpatches/u_merged.drv

Oracle E-Business Suite Pre-install Patches Report [Video] [ID 1448102.1]

To apply patches in pre-install mode, run adpatch with preinstall=y:

$adpatch preinstall=y-------/r12_upgrade/R12.1.1Preinstallpatches/u_merged.drv=
To merge the pre-install patches:
Review the contents of the $APPL_TOP/admin/$TWO_TASK/preinstall directory and ensure that only the
patch drivers of the desired pre-install patches are present in the directory.
Merge the patch drivers present in the $APPL_TOP/admin/$TWO_TASK/preinstall directory with the
Release 12.1 upgrade driver $AU_TOP/patch/115/driver/u6678700.drv.

o Change directory to $AU_TOP/patch/115/driver. For example:

cd $AU_TOP/patch/115/driver

o Perform the merge using the following command:

admrgpch -d . -preinstall -master u6678700.drv

Note: By default, the merged driver is created in the specified destination directory with the name
u_merged.drv.

Apply the newly merged Release 12.1 upgrade driver (for example,
$AU_TOP/patch/115/driver/u_merged.drv) with adpatch
options=nocopyportion,nogenerateportion,nocompiledb,nocompilejsp

3.7 Run the NLS upgrade patch driver

/r12_upgrade/R12soft/NLSmerge/u_merged.drv
(Here we merged all 3 language patches already)

adpatch driver= u_merged.drv

If you have several languages to download and run, then you can merge the patches and apply
them as a single, merged patch

Note: See Oracle E-Business Suite NLS Release Notes for your release level for more information.
See also Oracle E-Business Suite Patching Procedures for information about merging NLS patches.

3.8 Run the rapidwiz again to configure the R12.1.1

 3.9 Reset the init.ora parameters
