1.Error is related to timezone filePosted On Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at at 2:00 AM by Anup Kumar Srivastav I started database in upgrade mode and fired catupgrd.sql :SQL> startup upgradeORACLE instance started.Total System Global Area 6413680640 bytesFixed Size 2160112 bytesVariable Size 1946159632 bytesDatabase Buffers 4429185024 bytesRedo Buffers 36175872 bytesDatabase mounted.Database opened.SQL> @catupgrd.sqlDOC>#######################################################################DOC>#######################################################################DOC>DOC> The first time this script is run, there should be no error messagesDOC> generated; all normal upgrade error messages are suppressed.DOC>DOC> If this script is being re-run after correcting some problem, thenDOC> expect the following error which is not automatically suppressed:DOC>DOC> ORA-00001: unique constraint () violatedDOC># FROM registry$database *ERROR at line 2:ORA-00942: table or view does not existThis error is related to timezone file which must be version 4 for Oracle version 11g.If timezone is not version 4 than patch needs to be applied.Query to check timezone file is:SQL> select * from v$timezone_file;FILENAME VERSION———— ———-timezlrg.dat 4SQL> select * from v$timezone_file;FILENAME VERSION———— ———-timezlrg.dat 4So I had correct version.I remember applying patch before upgrade.I got lucky because patch existed for version 10.2.0.3.If there is no patch for your Oracle versions than patch can be download for similar version and applied manually.Instructions are below:1. Download the identified patch.2. Unzip the patch, and locate the 2 files timezone.dat and timezlrg.dat in the “files/oracore/zoneinfo” directory of the uncompressed patch (or from the relevant .jar file of a patchset). If there is also a readme.txt in this location then make a note of this as well.3. Backup your existing files in $ORACLE_HOME/oracore/zoneinfo – THIS CAN BE VITAL, DO NOT SKIP.
note:Before going on with step 4, make sure the current files are not in use.On Windows the files will simply refuse to be removed when the are in use.On
Unix replacing the files whilst they are in use can cause the files to
become corrupt. Use the fuser command before replacing the files to make
sure they are not in use.4. Copy the 2 .dat files and possibly the readme.txt file
that were found in step 2 into the $ORACLE_HOME/oracore/zoneinfo
directory.5. Restart the database (in case of installation on a
database), or restart the client applications (in case of client
install). Note that the database did not need to be down before the time
zone files were applied, but it does need to be restarted afterwards.
