OOW 2018: Upgrade to 18c - Live and Uncensored

Less than two weeks until the potentially busiest Oracle Open World conference I’ve ever attended. The schedule is filled up already and closed down. And I’m pretty sure I will need time off afterwards to relax and recover. But I’m looking forward to our annual big event in San Francisco. To make it as exciting as possible for you we are very happy to have high profile speakers with us in all our talks. And we promise: No marketing. Just tech facts.

Ouch … again OCM

Another customer, another upgrade – and again from Oracle Database 11.1.0.7 to Oracle Database 11.2.0.3. And again an OCM error during upgrade which is not very obvious to relate to OCM once you see the errors during upgrade.

Errors in file /opt/oracle/diag/rdbms/db/trace/db_j001_26027.trc:
ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job "ORACLE_OCM"."MGMT_CONFIG_JOB_2_1"
ORA-29280: invalid directory path
ORA-06512: at "ORACLE_OCM.MGMT_DB_LL_METRICS",
