Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Problem upgrading from Windows 2000 Oracle 8.0.6 to Oracle 9.2.0.1.0
Thomas,
OK, I've tried copying over the tnsnames.ora, listener.ora and sqlnet.ora files to the 9.2 network\admin directory. I then tried running the upgrade assistant with ONLY the 8.0 listener running, and got the usual error. Then tried with ONLY the 9.2 listener running, same error. Finally tried with both listeners running - first time with the same .ora files, second times with the entries for the database removed from the 9.2 .ora files. Both times gave the same, usual 12203 error. The detailed error messages in the sqlnet.log file each time are:
Fatal NI connect error 12203, connecting to:

VERSION INFORMATION:
TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 8.0.6.0.0 - Production Oracle Bequeath NT Protocol Adapter for 32-bit Windows: Version8.0.6.0.0 - Production
Incidentally, the reason I've not pursued this with Oracle UK, via a TAR, is that MetaLink is currently regarding our license keys as invalid, so I'm waiting for my line manager to get that little issue resolved with our Account Manager. (These things always happen at the most inopportune moments!).
So, as ever, I'm open to any further suggestions, to say the least!

I'm following the Oracle 9.2 DB Migration documentation, and using the DB Upgrade Assistant to do this, and it makes no mention of manually switching listeners. Hence I'm loath to do so, since one of the things DBUA does is to change over from the old listener to the 9.2 listener.

Try starting an Oracle 9 listener. I'm not sure if an 8.0.6 listener
can
be used by a 9.2 client.

Thanks Jared (and to Thomas Day also) for the suggestion. I've copied over the tnsnames.ora file, (and also the listener.ora and sqlnet.ora files for good measure) to the 9.2 network\admin directory, bounced everything and tried again, but with exactly the same result. Obviously I'm missing something really obvious, but my brain's just seized up on this one. Any further ideas would be REALLY welcome!
In case it helps, here's the essential information:
Services running are the 8.0.6 listener, and the 8.0.6 database instance services.
The Global Name, db_name and db_domain of the database are DLIB.WORLD, dlib and WORLD respectively.
When I run the 9.2 database upgrade assistant it lists: "Oracle SID: DLIB, OracleHome: d:\oracle\ora80".
The message when I try to proceed is "ORA-12203: TNS: unable to connect to destination".
The tnsnames.ora file (which I've now copied to the 9.2 network\admin directory) contains:
# D:\ORACLE\ORA80\NET80\ADMIN\TNSNAMES.ORA Configuration File:d:\oracle\ora80\net80\admin\tnsnames.ora # Generated by Oracle Net8 Assistant
DLIB.WORLD =3D3D
(DESCRIPTION =3D3D
(ADDRESS =3D3D (PROTOCOL =3D3D TCP)(HOST =3D3D diglib3)(PORT =3D3D =
1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =3D3D (SID =3D3D dlib)) )
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA.WORLD =3D3D
(DESCRIPTION =3D3D
(ADDRESS =3D3D (PROTOCOL =3D3D IPC)(Key =3D3D EXTPROC0))
(CONNECT_DATA =3D3D (SID =3D3D extproc))
)
The listener.ora file (also copied over to 9.2 directory) contains:
# D:\ORACLE\ORA80\NET80\ADMIN\LISTENER.ORA Configuration File:d:\oracle\ora80\net80\admin\listener.ora # Generated by Oracle Net8 Assistant
PASSWORDS_LISTENER=3D3D (oracle)
LISTENER =3D3D
(ADDRESS_LIST =3D3D
(ADDRESS =3D3D (PROTOCOL =3D3D IPC)(KEY =3D3D oracle.world))
(ADDRESS =3D3D (PROTOCOL =3D3D IPC)(KEY =3D3D EXTPROC0))
(ADDRESS =3D3D (PROTOCOL =3D3D NMP)(SERVER =3D3D DIGLIB3)(PIPE =3D3D =
SID_LIST_LISTENER =3D3D
(SID_LIST =3D3D
(SID_DESC =3D3D
(SID_NAME =3D3D extproc)
(PROGRAM =3D3D extproc)
(GLOBAL_DBNAME =3D3D DIGLIB3)
(ORACLE_HOME =3D3D d:\oracle\ora80)
(SID_NAME =3D3D dlib)
The sqlnet.ora file (also copied over) contains:
# D:\ORACLE\ORA80\NET80\ADMIN\SQLNET.ORA Configuration File:d:\oracle\ora80\net80\admin\sqlnet.ora # Generated by Oracle Net8 Assistant
NAME.DEFAULT_ZONE =3D3D world
NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN =3D3D world
#sqlnet.authentication_services =3D3D (NONE)
SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME =3D3D 0 SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_SERVER =3D3D requested
SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_CLIENT =3D3D requested
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH=3D3D (TNSNAMES, HOSTNAME) I hope someone can see the obvious mistakes here - they're not obvious to me (he says, feeling very, very dim!)

Paul

You likely need to investigate the 9.2 tnsnames.ora file. It probably needs to be modified to include the 8.0.6 database information.
The DBCA is getting the info from the registry, but that doesn't help you with creating a database connection.

Problem upgrading from Windows 2000 Oracle 8.0.6 to Oracle 9.2.0.1.0
Hi everybody,
I've just installed Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 onto a Windows 2000 server which was currently running Oracle 8.0.6 with a single instance on it. I noticed that during the installation, I wasn't presented with the Upgrading An Existing Database screen. This may be significant! I didn't think anything of it, since I intended to run the Database Upgrade Assistant independently after installing 9.2.
The installation went smoothly. I then checked that the 8.0.6 db instance was still up and running, by connecting to it from my office workstation. Yes, fine. Back to the server, and I fired up Database Upgrade Assistant from the Oracle 9.2 program group. After the Welcome screen it showed the panel which did indeed list my 8.0.6 database. I selected it, gave a userid with the necessary SYSDBA privileges, and a password, and clicked on next. Then I got an error message: ORA-12203: TNS unable to connect to destination.
Now, presumably this means I've got something wrongly configured on the server, such that it can't connect to its own local database. Any ideas at all, as to where I should start looking, would be very greatly appreciated!
