Multitenant : Upgrading to Oracle Database 18c
This article provides an overview of upgrading an existing multitenant database to Oracle 18c. Upgrades can be very complicated, so you must always read the upgrade manual, and test thoroughly before considering an upgrade of a production environment.
Remember, 18c is essentially 12.2.0.2, so the possible upgrade options will be similar to those described in upgrading to Oracle Database 12c.
- Assumptions
- Prerequisites
- Install 18c Software
- Run preupgrade.jar
- Perform Pre-Upgrade Actions
- Upgrade the Database
- Perform Post-Upgrade Actions
- Final Steps

Assumptions
This article is focused on upgrading a multitenant database. If your starting point is a non-CDB database, you should be reading the following article.
This article assumes your source database is of a version supported for direct upgrade to 18c. This is the whole list, but remember multitenant database have only existed from 12.1.0.1 onward.
11.2.0.3, 11.2.0.4, 12.1.0.1, 12.1.0.2, 12.2.0.1
In this example we are doing an upgrade from 12.2 to 18c. The process is very similar for version 12.1, but the pre-upgrade and post-upgrade fixup actions may vary a little.
It's important to have backups of everything before you start! Some of these steps are destructive, and if something goes wrong you have no alternative but to restore from backups and start again.
Remember, this article is not a replacement for reading the upgrade documentation. Each upgrade has the potential to be different, depending on what options are installed.
Prerequisites
Make sure you have all the OS prerequisites in place by running the 18c preinstall package. On Oracle Linux you can do this by installing the preinstall package. It probably makes sense to update the remaining packages also.
yum install -y oracle-database-preinstall-18c yum update -y
Install 18c Software
You can read about the installation process in more detail here, but for this example I'll keep it brief. The following commands will perform a silent installation of the 18c software.
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/18.0.0/dbhome_1
export SOFTWARE_DIR=/u01/software
export ORA_INVENTORY=/u01/app/oraInventory
mkdir -p ${ORACLE_HOME}
cd $ORACLE_HOME
/bin/unzip -oq ${SOFTWARE_DIR}/LINUX.X64_180000_db_home.zip
./runInstaller -ignorePrereq -waitforcompletion -silent \
-responseFile ${ORACLE_HOME}/install/response/db_install.rsp \
oracle.install.option=INSTALL_DB_SWONLY \
ORACLE_HOSTNAME=${ORACLE_HOSTNAME} \
UNIX_GROUP_NAME=oinstall \
INVENTORY_LOCATION=${ORA_INVENTORY} \
SELECTED_LANGUAGES=en,en_GB \
ORACLE_HOME=${ORACLE_HOME} \
ORACLE_BASE=${ORACLE_BASE} \
oracle.install.db.InstallEdition=EE \
oracle.install.db.OSDBA_GROUP=dba \
oracle.install.db.OSBACKUPDBA_GROUP=dba \
oracle.install.db.OSDGDBA_GROUP=dba \
oracle.install.db.OSKMDBA_GROUP=dba \
oracle.install.db.OSRACDBA_GROUP=dba \
SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_MYORACLESUPPORT=false \
DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=true
Run the root scripts when prompted.
As a root user, execute the following script(s):
1. /u01/app/oracle/product/18.0.0/dbhome_1/root.sh
At this point you should also patch the new Oracle home, but in this case we will forgo that step to keep things simple.
Run preupgrade.jar
Download the latest "preupgrade.jar" file from MOS 884522.1. If you don't have MOS access you can miss out the next step.
Put the latest "preupgrade.jar" into the 18c Oracle home.
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/18.0.0/dbhome_1 cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin unzip -o /u01/software/preupgrade_181_cbuild_6_lf.zip
Make sure you are using the original Oracle home and run the "preupgrade.jar".
export ORACLE_SID=cdb1 export ORAENV_ASK=NO . oraenv export ORAENV_ASK=YES export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/12.2.0.1/db_1 $ORACLE_BASE/product/18.0.0/dbhome_1/jdk/bin/java -jar $ORACLE_BASE/product/18.0.0/dbhome_1/rdbms/admin/preupgrade.jar TERMINAL TEXT
Here is the output from an example run against a 12.2 database. There is output for the root container, seed and any user-defined pluggable databases.
$ $ORACLE_BASE/product/18.0.0/dbhome_1/jdk/bin/java -jar $ORACLE_BASE/product/18.0.0/dbhome_1/rdbms/admin/preupgrade.jar TERMINAL TEXT

1. (AUTOFIXUP) Gather stale data dictionary statistics prior to database
upgrade in off-peak time using:
EXECUTE DBMS_STATS.GATHER_DICTIONARY_STATS;
Dictionary statistics do not exist or are stale (not up-to-date).
Dictionary statistics help the Oracle optimizer find efficient SQL
execution plans and are essential for proper upgrade timing. Oracle
recommends gathering dictionary statistics in the last 24 hours before
database upgrade.
For information on managing optimizer statistics, refer to the 12.2.0.1
Oracle Database SQL Tuning Guide.
2. (AUTOFIXUP) Gather statistics on fixed objects prior the upgrade.
None of the fixed object tables have had stats collected.
Gathering statistics on fixed objects, if none have been gathered yet, is
recommended prior to upgrading.
For information on managing optimizer statistics, refer to the 12.2.0.1
Oracle Database SQL Tuning Guide.

5. Upgrade the database time zone file using the DBMS_DST package.
The database is using time zone file version 26 and the target 18.0.0.0.0
release ships with time zone file version 31.
Oracle recommends upgrading to the desired (latest) version of the time
zone file. For more information, refer to "Upgrading the Time Zone File
and Timestamp with Time Zone Data" in the 18.0.0.0.0 Oracle Database
Globalization Support Guide.
6. (AUTOFIXUP) Gather dictionary statistics after the upgrade using the
command:
EXECUTE DBMS_STATS.GATHER_DICTIONARY_STATS;
Oracle recommends gathering dictionary statistics after upgrade.
Dictionary statistics provide essential information to the Oracle
optimizer to help it find efficient SQL execution plans. After a database
upgrade, statistics need to be re-gathered as there can now be tables
that have significantly changed during the upgrade or new tables that do
not have statistics gathered yet.
7. Gather statistics on fixed objects after the upgrade and when there is a
representative workload on the system using the command:
EXECUTE DBMS_STATS.GATHER_FIXED_OBJECTS_STATS;
This recommendation is given for all preupgrade runs.
Fixed object statistics provide essential information to the Oracle
optimizer to help it find efficient SQL execution plans. Those
statistics are specific to the Oracle Database release that generates
them, and can be stale upon database upgrade.
For information on managing optimizer statistics, refer to the 12.2.0.1

Execute fixup scripts across the entire CDB:
Before upgrade:
1. Execute preupgrade fixups with the below command

2. Review logs under /u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/cdb1/preupgrade/
After the upgrade:
1. Execute postupgrade fixups with the below command

Perform Pre-Upgrade Actions
The output from the "preupgrade.jar" lists a number of pre-upgrade recommendations. Some must be manually applied. Others are incorporated into the "preupgrade_fixups.sql" script. In the following example we will only run the "preupgrade_fixups.sql" script and recompile invalid objects. Remember, in a multitenant database we must run the pre-upgrade actions on the root, seed and all user-defined pluggable databases.
$ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl \
-I$ORACLE_HOME/perl/lib \
-I$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin \
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catcon.pl \
-l /u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/${ORACLE_SID}/preupgrade/ \
-b preup_cdb1 \
/u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/${ORACLE_SID}/preupgrade/preupgrade_fixups.sql
We can recompile invalid objects in the all containers except the seed database using the following command.
$ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl \
-I$ORACLE_HOME/perl/lib \
-I$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin \
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catcon.pl \
-l /u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/${ORACLE_SID}/preupgrade/ \
-b preup_${ORACLE_SID}_recompile \
-C 'PDB$SEED' \
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql
Upgrade the Database
With the pre-upgrade actions complete we can start the upgrade. Shutdown the source database.
sqlplus / as sysdba <<EOF shutdown immediate; exit; EOF
Copy the config files from the old to the new Oracle home. You should check the contents of the "listener.ora" file to see if there are any references to the Oracle home path. If there are, amend them.
cp $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/*.ora $ORACLE_BASE/product/18.0.0/dbhome_1/network/admin
# Add this to $ORACLE_BASE/product/18.0.0/dbhome_1/network/admin/sqlnet.ora
# Need to correct password versions and remove this.
cat >> $ORACLE_BASE/product/18.0.0/dbhome_1/network/admin/sqlnet.ora <<EOF
# This should be temporary while you deal with old passwords.
SQLNET.ALLOWED_LOGON_VERSION_SERVER=11
EOF
cp $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapw${ORACLE_SID} $ORACLE_BASE/product/18.0.0/dbhome_1/dbs/
cp $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfile${ORACLE_SID}.ora $ORACLE_BASE/product/18.0.0/dbhome_1/dbs/
Switch to the 18c listener.
lsnrctl stop
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/18.0.0/dbhome_1
export PATH=${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:$PATH
lsnrctl start
Start the database using the 18c Oracle home, ready for the upgrade. All user-defined PDBs must also be open in upgrade mode, or they will not be included in the upgrade, and will need to be upgraded manually later.
sqlplus / as sysdba <<EOF startup upgrade; alter pluggable database all open upgrade force; exit; EOF
You can run the upgrade using either of the following commands. The second is actually just a shorthand for the former.
# Regular upgrade command. cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl catctl.pl catupgrd.sql # Shorthand command. $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbupgrade
Here is the output from an example run against a 12.2 multitenant database. The output looks quite long, as the upgrade is run against the root, seed and user-defined PDBs.

Check out the "upg_summary.log" file, and if anything looks wrong, check out the associated "catupgrd*.log" file. At this point I do a shutdown and startup to make sure everything is running in the correct mode. Also make sure the user-defined PDBs are open before doing the post upgrade steps.
sqlplus / as sysdba <<EOF shutdown immediate; startup; column name format A30 select name, open_mode from v\$pdbs; exit; EOF
Perform Post-Upgrade Actions
The output from the "preupgrade.jar" lists a number of post-upgrade recommendations. Some must be manually applied. Others are incorporated into the "postupgrade_fixups.sql" script. In the following example we will only run the "postupgrade_fixups.sql" script. Remember, in a multitenant database we must run the post-upgrade actions on the root, seed and all user-defined pluggable databases.
$ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl \
-I$ORACLE_HOME/perl/lib \
-I$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin \
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catcon.pl \
-l /u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/${ORACLE_SID}/preupgrade/ \
-b postup_cdb1 \
/u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/${ORACLE_SID}/preupgrade/postupgrade_fixups.sql
Assuming you didn't hit any problems along the way, your database is upgraded and ready to go now.
Final Steps
Edit the "/etc/oratab" file, correcting the Oracle home path.
From: cdb1:/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/db_1:Y To: cdb1:/u01/app/oracle/product/18.0.0/dbhome_1:Y
You need to consider what you are going to do with the COMPATIBLE parameter. I prefer to reset it as soon as possible.
sqlplus / as sysdba <<EOF alter system set compatible='18.0.0' scope=spfile; shutdown immediate; startup; EXIT; EOF
If local undo is not enabled, you need to enable it. You can read more about local undo here.
sqlplus / as sysdba <<EOF shutdown immediate; startup upgrade; alter database local undo on; shutdown immediate; startup; EXIT; EOF
If you are using APEX or ORDS, you probably want to validate them (validate APEX, validate ORDS).
