Re: Upgrade 11g to 12c - recyclebin

I was logged in as sys and did "purge recyclebin".  I also did "purge dba_recyclebin".

Did you purge recyclebin (i.e. for the user) or purge dba_recyclebin?

Subject: Upgrade 11g to 12c - recyclebin

 

I can't get logged into MOS right now, so I'm posting my questions here. I am preparing to upgrade an 11.2.0.4 database to 12.1.0.2.  The preupgrd.sql script returned the following error:

ERROR: --> RECYCLE_BIN not empty.
     Your recycle bin contains 64 object(s).
     It is REQUIRED that the recycle bin is empty prior to upgrading.
     Immediately before performing the upgrade, execute the following
     command:
       EXECUTE dbms_preup.purge_recyclebin_fixup;

When I select a count from the recyclebin or dba_recyclebin, it returns 0.  I went ahead and executed the statement.  I then reran the preupgrd.sql script.  It showed the same error.  I ran the preupgrade_fixups.sql script and reran the preupgrd.sql script.  It still shows the same error.  The executions to purge the recyclebin said they were successful.

What am I missing?  Do I really need to rerun the preupgrd.sql script?  Am I looking in the wrong place for the count?  This is the only error I had for this database.
