Hi,
Assuming UNIX ....
Take full backups of all 7.3.3 databases (cold or hot.)
Change oratab file to reflect new 7.3.4 ORACLE_HOME for the instances.
Change any other hard coded ORACLE_HOME in profiles/scipts etc. to the new
one..
Create initSID.ora file in the 7.3.4 $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory.. Set the
'compatible' parameter is set to 7.3.4.
Set up env for 7.3.4 and startup the instance in restricted mode..
Run $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/cat7304.sql as INTERNAL. This script should be
in 7.3.4 $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin to migrate 7.3.3 to 7.3.4 database. Pl
take a look at the script to see what it does..
I would run catalog, catproc etc.. after that..
Backup the databases again.
Install new tnsnames.ora and listener.ora in 7.3.4 home, or modifiy those
if already exist, for your SIDs that were just upgraded..
Restart the listener and open the database for all to use..
If everything works out fine, you can remove 7.3.3....... else its time to
look at cat7304d.sql.. (to downgrade to prev level)...
HTH.. and Good luck.
