Pual,
It is better to use manual upgrade path. Follow Oracle upgrade instruction for manual upgrade. I tried DBUA and it fails with all type of strange errors specially relating to listener.
My experience with manual upgrade is really good. However I am upgarding mostly from 8.1.7.4 to 9.2.0.4. Oracle doc is really good for manual upgrade.
Regards
Rafiq

Solved the "sqlplus" problem - it wasn't anything to do with setting = ORACLE_SID (tried that - didn't work). The trick is to set the "LOCAL" = system variable to the name of the required instance. Setting a system = variable made it permanent, but the same affect could be achieved = temporarily in a DOS window by typing "set LOCAL=3Dxxxxxx" before typing = "sqlplus".
Another thing I never knew (and didn't know I didn't know)!
That still hasn't solved the main problem with Database Upgrade = Assistant, alas...
Cheers,
Paul

Paul,
This scenario below is because the sid is not set. If you set oracle_sid=3Dxxxx, and then simply type sqlplus and enter username/password when prompted, you will not get ORA-12560.=20 The other servers must have oracle_sid set. HTH....../Bob =20 .......... peculiarity on this server that, if I open a DOSwindow and simply type "sqlplus", then I'm asked for a username and password, which I supply, and then I get an error message ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
If however I type "sqlplus myuserid/mypasswd_at_DLIB", ,,,,,,,,,,
I suspect=20
=20
