• As with most planned production maintenance activities, a successful upgrade is
highly dependent on how well-defined the upgrade plan is.
• Pre-production testing and validation on an comparable system prior to the actual
upgrade is key to minimizing unforeseen contingencies.
• Optimizing the upgrade process is all about making the right choices at the planning
stage and verifying these choices with a test environment before production.

Plan, Prepare, Test and Upgrade
Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Plan for Platform Migration as a Separate Down Time
• Performing a Database migration to a new platform first, if being considered as part
of an EBS upgrade, is recommended as customers would typically be able to
perform this in a separate earlier downtime
• Regardless of whether this migration is done in a separate earlier downtime or as
part of a single downtime, performance gains would be expected due to the fact
that the upgrade of the Applications to R12 will run on newer and faster hardware

– Keep the system current on AD/ATG/OAM code e.g. latest AD/ATG RUPs on 11i/R12.0 and once on
R12.2
– For 12.2, review Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2: Consolidated List of Patches and Technology
Bug Fixes (1594274.1)
– High priority patches from MOS.
– Consolidated Upgrade Patches (CUP)
• Latest EBS CUP for your target release
– R12.2 Release notes MOS ID 1320300.1
• Latest pre-install patches MOS ID 1448102.1
– Review “Known-issues” sections from key “living” documents such as Release notes, MP Install

• Use TUMS (“The Upgrade Manual Script”) To avoid running tasks not relevant to your system
20
Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Prepare: Identify Patches/Tasks
Identify Required Patches/Tasks
• Identify and execute tasks that could be completed in a separate downtime period,
prior to the production upgrade
– Use applicable steps mentioned in the "Downtime reduction" and “Upgrade
By Request” appendices E and G of the R12.1 upgrade guide
• Minimize historical data to be upgraded as per business requirements “Upgrade By
Request”
– Post-upgrade “hot-patch” of additional historical data outlined in
MOS ID 604893.1
– Assign post upgrade jobs to specialized CM queue (by request_type)
MOS ID 399362.1
21
Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Prepare: Identify Patches/Tasks
Upgrade By Request (MOS ID 604893.1)
• Use this option to defer the upgrade of historical data from the initial upgrade
process (critical downtime window), to post upgrade
• Historical data can be upgraded anytime when system is up
• Implementation is a two step process:
– Set range of historical data to be upgraded before R12.1/R12.2 upgrade and run the pre-
upgrade concurrent program
– Run the post-upgrade concurrent program (as needed for additional historical data)
• Utilize Parallel Concurrent Processing (PCP) for post-upgrade concurrent jobs to
leverage the Cluster (RAC).
– For RAC and PCP refer to (MOS ID1359612.1)
– Starting from 12.1, you can define node affinity at the program level
22

Prepare: Manage Customizations
Check Custom Code
For the duration of the upgrade, consider…
• Check and review customizations that business might not be using.
• Review new Product Features or New Technology to Migrate to.
• Review and disable custom triggers and business events.
• Review and disable custom VPD policies as needed.
• Review and eliminate redundant custom indexes.

Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Prepare: Manage Customizations
Identify and fix custom code to comply to online patching standards.
• Use “Online Patching readiness Reports” to identify issues in custom data base
objects that will be fixed automatically Vs needing manual intervention.
• Use Global Standards compliance checker script to scan your file system custom
code and fix reported issues.
• Detailed instructions: “EBS Technical Planning Guide” and MOS ID 1531121.1
• Download Patch 22200487:R12.AD.X (11i, 12.0, 12.1 or 12.2), use the scripts and
generate the reports.
24
Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Prepare: Pre-Upgrade Tasks
Remove Unnecessary Workloads / Overheads
• Remove TDE (Transparent Data Encryption) from high volume tables (for the
duration of the upgrade)
• Review and disable all debug or logging; do this at all levels (site, responsibility,
user level etc.)
• Purge all old data that is no longer needed prior to the upgrade.
MOS ID 752322.
• Flush all the interfaces, such as Auto Invoice, Journal Entry Import, Order Import
etc.
25
Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Prepare: Pre-Upgrade Tasks
Remove Unnecessary Workloads / Overheads
• Drop MRC Schema if it still exists.
• Convert to OATM (Oracle Applications Tablespace Model).
MOS ID 248857.1
• Convert to the new Multiple Organizations (Multi-Org) architecture
MOS ID 210193.1
• If possible run in noarchivelog mode
• Disable flashback DB (for the duration of the upgrade).
• Disable auditing if enabled (for the duration of the upgrade)
26
Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Prepare: Database Tier
Gather Schema Statistics
• Gather CBO statistics for all Oracle E-Business Suite schemas with GATHER_AUTO option
using FND_STATS (or gather statistics concurrent program)
• If the adsstats.sql job is taking a long time during the upgrade check the following:
– Check that parallel execution is being used effectively (with parallel_max_servers set
to a suitable value, such as 2 x number of cores).
– Sample specific long running tables at a lower percentage
• If the adsstats.sql script is still taking a significant amount of time, reduce the upgrade time
by:
– Exporting schema statistics gathered during test runs (by adsstats.sql )
– Importing these statistics instead of running adsstats.sql.
– When importing statistics from test runs make sure data volumes are similar
27
Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Prepare: Database Tier
Gather Dictionary and Fixed Stats
• Gather dictionary object statistics when there is a significant change in dictionary,
for example, lot of new objects created.
exec dbms_stats.gather_dictionary_stats;
• Gather fixed object statistics with reasonable load on the system
exec dbms_stats.gather_fixed_objects_stats
• Dictionary and Fixed stats should be gather manually as they are not gathered
automatically in the Release 12 upgrade by adstats.sql or any other method.
28
Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Prepare: Database Tier
Gather Dictionary and Fixed Stats
• Fixed Object Statistics should be gathered:
– After any associated platform or database upgrade that is part of the overall
Oracle E-Business Suite upgrade.
– After any SGA/PGA parameters have changed.
– After Release 12 upgrade, when there is representative activity on the system.
• Dictionary Statistics should be gathered:
– After any associated platform or DB upgrade that is part of the overall Oracle E-
Business Suite upgrade.
– After the Release 12 upgrade.
– After move to OATM
29
Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Prepare: Database Tier
Properly Size SGA/PGA Memory
• Maximize SGA and PGA sizing:
– Review the Advisory sections in AWR (from test runs) to fine tune SGA & PGA.
– Some starting rules of thumb are:
• log buffer = 30 to 100 Mb
• shared pool = 1 to 4 GB
• pga target = 3 to 20 GB
• SGA/buffer cache = multi GB
•be generous without causing excessive paging.
• Use Large/Huge pages. For example on Linux HugePages – See MOS ID 744769.1
– MOS ID 361468.1, “HugePages on Oracle Linux 64-bit” describes how to configure hugepages.
When running the recommended script provided with Note 401749.1, make sure that all
database instances are started.
– Only SGA allocation benefits from large/huge pages, PGA allocation does not.
30

Prepare: Database Tier
Upgrade and Initialization Parameters
• For 32 cores or fewer initially set:
– parallel_max_servers = 2 x number of CPU cores.
– AD Parallel workers – start with 1 x number of CPU cores. Possibly increase to
1.5 x number of CPU cores.
– job_queue_processes = number of CPU cores
• For more than 32 cores, start with:
– parallel_max_servers = 1 x number of CPU cores.
– AD Parallel workers = between 0.5 and 1.0 x number of CPU cores.
• Based on the performance diagnostics, these values can be changed based on the
level of contention and resource (CPU/IO) usage (in AWR).
• Shutdown other RAC instances
31
Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Prepare: Database Tier
Upgrade and Initialization Parameters
• If specified, remove db_file_multiblock_read_count. This is the recommended
value for normal operation of Oracle E-Business Suite.
• Set optimizer_dynamic_sampling level to the value of 4 during the Release 12
Upgrade, revert to the default value of 2 (or remove) after the upgrade.
• The values of the initialization parameters above (except
db_file_multiblock_read_count) may be different from the values used for normal
operation. So be sure to revert after the Release 12 upgrade has
completed.
• If DB is 12c, Turn off the adaptive feature (Set optimizer_adaptive_features=false)
before the EBS upgrade (before applying R12.AD.C)
• For other initialization parameters, refer to MOS ID 396009.1, “Database
Initialization Parameters for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12”.
32
Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Prepare: Application Tier
12.2 Middle Tier Sizing Guidelines
• Managed instances JVM sizing should consider both memory and CPU domains.
• On 64bit environment, we do not recommend allocating huge heap sizes, but rather
have more managed instances in the cluster to scale up to the target concurrency
levels.
• For Admin Server sizing, the default size of 512M is not enough for most installations,
we recommend setting the XMS to at least 1 GB and the XMX to 2GB
• An initial guidance on sizing can be found in the “Oracle E-Business Suite Installation
Guide: Using Rapid Install”
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26401_01/doc.122/e22950/T422699i4773.htm#T610671

Test: Pre-Production Testing
Testing and Final Run Planning
• Testing should be done on a comparable system that has the same CPU, IO and
memory capacity as the target production system
• It is critical to do multiple rounds of testing with different settings to maximize server
utilization, while considering the following
– Memory utilization (no swapping/ excessive paging)
– CPU utilization (scale down if at 100%)
– I/O response times (scale down if averages > 20 ms)
• When analyzing Release 12 Upgrade performance issues, the goal is prevent wasted
test iterations by maximizing the number of performance issues resolved.
• Testing timings along with system resource utilization should be used to plan the final
upgrade with a 20% contingency factor.
34
Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Test: Pre-Production Testing
Get the Timings
• AD Job Timing Reports: The job timing report (adtimrpt.sql) reports the top 100 time
consuming jobs.
• AD Utility and Worker Logs: The AD utility and worker logs can also be useful for
diagnostics, giving you more detail about what happened and when. The AD workers logs
(adworknnn.log) will give you the activities carried out by each worker and the timings.
• AD Parallel tables: The AD_PARALLEL_UPDATES, AD_PARALLEL_UPDATE_UNITS tables can
give information on the actual rows processed, the number of batches, progress over
time, and long running batches (that might indicate locks/sleeps or data distribution
issues).
• AD_TASK_TIMING: gives start and end times of jobs and workers, which can help identify
all long running jobs, and match long running SQL and performance issues (on AWR) with
specific jobs.
35
Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Test: Pre-Production Testing
Get the Diagnostic Data
• Start with Express Diagnosis of Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 Upgrade Performance
Issues (MOS ID 1583752.1)
• Correlate AWR, system vitals and expensive SQLs. Start with the top events and top SQLs
sections in the AWR reports.
• Use the advisory sections to size SGA, and PGA Properly
36
• SQL Tuning
• Trace files
• SQLT output (MOS ID: 215187.1)
• Trace Analyzer (MOS ID: 224270.1)
• AWR Report (MOS ID: 748642.1)
• 11g SQL Monitor Report
• AWR SQL Report (awrsqrpt.sql)
• Database Tuning
• AWR Report (MOS ID: 748642.1)
• ADDM report (MOS ID: 250655.1)
• Active Session History (ASH)
• OS - OSWatcher (MOS ID: 301137.1) Q
Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Test: Pre-Production Testing
Common Optimizations
• Use statistics_level=ALL during the testing/diagnosis phase. Make sure to reset
to TYPICAL afterwards. This will help capture runtime Execution plans with row
counts & row source stats.
• For long running SQLs - Display cursor report (with ALL +ALLSTATS ) can be used
to while SQL/job is running which massively speeds up the identification of sub-
optimal execution plans and their solution.
• The other alternative is SQL Trace - for which the trace can be enabled on the
Job or that particular SQL level.
37
Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Test: Pre-Production Testing
Common Optimizations
• For long running jobs or SQLs, it is best to start by investigating if good execution plans
are being used. A poor execution plan (or even just one that is moderately sub-
optimal) can be the root cause of contention, especially if that contention only occurs
during a particular job.
• Create custom indexes for long running jobs where a new index could significantly
improve the execution plan and performance
• For long running jobs with high level of contention on particular index segments ,
consider dropping the index before the job and recreating afterwards. Ensure that
indexes are recreated in parallel and with exactly the same definition. And remember
to ALTER INDEX to revert the degree of parallel (NOPARALLEL).
38
Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Test: Pre-Production Testing
Common Optimizations
• For long-running xdf or odf jobs creating materialized views (MV), consider
cleaning up or truncating of any large MV logs (this requires MV complete
refresh)
• For high level of waits associated with redo log, especially “log buffer space”
and “log file sync”, consider:
– Change the configuration of redo logs
– Move to faster filer
– Increase redo log file sizes, increase the number of files or increase the
log parallelism (hidden parameter _log_parallelism_max).
39
Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Test: Pre-Production Testing
Common Optimizations
• Once you have identified the long running jobs and SQL, you can check My Oracle
Support for known issues and potential solutions or workarounds.
• However, bear in mind that the fix or workaround may not necessarily fix your
particular problem.
• If you cannot confirm that you have exactly the same issue (from the diagnostics)
you may still apply the fix, but should continue to gather diagnostics and search for a
solution until the issue is fully resolved.
• If you have identified that a long running job has an inefficient execution plan, you
could use an SQL Profile to apply hints that will help the CBO choose a better
execution plan. You will need SQL tuning expertise to do this.

  • 29. Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | Prepare: Database Tier Gather Dictionary and Fixed Stats • Fixed Object Statistics should be gathered: – After any associated platform or database upgrade that is part of the overall Oracle E-Business Suite upgrade. – After any SGA/PGA parameters have changed. – After Release 12 upgrade, when there is representative activity on the system. • Dictionary Statistics should be gathered: – After any associated platform or DB upgrade that is part of the overall Oracle E- Business Suite upgrade. – After the Release 12 upgrade. – After move to OATM 29
  • 30. Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | Prepare: Database Tier Properly Size SGA/PGA Memory • Maximize SGA and PGA sizing: – Review the Advisory sections in AWR (from test runs) to fine tune SGA & PGA. – Some starting rules of thumb are: • log buffer = 30 to 100 Mb • shared pool = 1 to 4 GB • pga target = 3 to 20 GB • SGA/buffer cache = multi GB •be generous without causing excessive paging. • Use Large/Huge pages. For example on Linux HugePages – See MOS ID 744769.1 – MOS ID 361468.1, “HugePages on Oracle Linux 64-bit” describes how to configure hugepages. When running the recommended script provided with Note 401749.1, make sure that all database instances are started. – Only SGA allocation benefits from large/huge pages, PGA allocation does not. 30
  • 31. Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | Prepare: Database Tier Upgrade and Initialization Parameters • For 32 cores or fewer initially set: – parallel_max_servers = 2 x number of CPU cores. – AD Parallel workers – start with 1 x number of CPU cores. Possibly increase to 1.5 x number of CPU cores. – job_queue_processes = number of CPU cores • For more than 32 cores, start with: – parallel_max_servers = 1 x number of CPU cores. – AD Parallel workers = between 0.5 and 1.0 x number of CPU cores. • Based on the performance diagnostics, these values can be changed based on the level of contention and resource (CPU/IO) usage (in AWR). • Shutdown other RAC instances 31
  • 32. Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | Prepare: Database Tier Upgrade and Initialization Parameters • If specified, remove db_file_multiblock_read_count. This is the recommended value for normal operation of Oracle E-Business Suite. • Set optimizer_dynamic_sampling level to the value of 4 during the Release 12 Upgrade, revert to the default value of 2 (or remove) after the upgrade. • The values of the initialization parameters above (except db_file_multiblock_read_count) may be different from the values used for normal operation. So be sure to revert after the Release 12 upgrade has completed. • If DB is 12c, Turn off the adaptive feature (Set optimizer_adaptive_features=false) before the EBS upgrade (before applying R12.AD.C) • For other initialization parameters, refer to MOS ID 396009.1, “Database Initialization Parameters for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12”. 32
  • 33. Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | Prepare: Application Tier 12.2 Middle Tier Sizing Guidelines • Managed instances JVM sizing should consider both memory and CPU domains. • On 64bit environment, we do not recommend allocating huge heap sizes, but rather have more managed instances in the cluster to scale up to the target concurrency levels. • For Admin Server sizing, the default size of 512M is not enough for most installations, we recommend setting the XMS to at least 1 GB and the XMX to 2GB • An initial guidance on sizing can be found in the “Oracle E-Business Suite Installation Guide: Using Rapid Install” http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26401_01/doc.122/e22950/T422699i4773.htm#T610671 Managing Configuration of Oracle HTTP Server and Oacore, Oafm, Forms and Forms-c4ws Applications in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2 (Doc ID 1905593.1) 33
  • 34. Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | Test: Pre-Production Testing Testing and Final Run Planning • Testing should be done on a comparable system that has the same CPU, IO and memory capacity as the target production system • It is critical to do multiple rounds of testing with different settings to maximize server utilization, while considering the following – Memory utilization (no swapping/ excessive paging) – CPU utilization (scale down if at 100%) – I/O response times (scale down if averages > 20 ms) • When analyzing Release 12 Upgrade performance issues, the goal is prevent wasted test iterations by maximizing the number of performance issues resolved. • Testing timings along with system resource utilization should be used to plan the final upgrade with a 20% contingency factor. 34
  • 35. Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | Test: Pre-Production Testing Get the Timings • AD Job Timing Reports: The job timing report (adtimrpt.sql) reports the top 100 time consuming jobs. • AD Utility and Worker Logs: The AD utility and worker logs can also be useful for diagnostics, giving you more detail about what happened and when. The AD workers logs (adworknnn.log) will give you the activities carried out by each worker and the timings. • AD Parallel tables: The AD_PARALLEL_UPDATES, AD_PARALLEL_UPDATE_UNITS tables can give information on the actual rows processed, the number of batches, progress over time, and long running batches (that might indicate locks/sleeps or data distribution issues). • AD_TASK_TIMING: gives start and end times of jobs and workers, which can help identify all long running jobs, and match long running SQL and performance issues (on AWR) with specific jobs. 35
  • 36. Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | Test: Pre-Production Testing Get the Diagnostic Data • Start with Express Diagnosis of Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 Upgrade Performance Issues (MOS ID 1583752.1) • Correlate AWR, system vitals and expensive SQLs. Start with the top events and top SQLs sections in the AWR reports. • Use the advisory sections to size SGA, and PGA Properly 36 • SQL Tuning • Trace files • SQLT output (MOS ID: 215187.1) • Trace Analyzer (MOS ID: 224270.1) • AWR Report (MOS ID: 748642.1) • 11g SQL Monitor Report • AWR SQL Report (awrsqrpt.sql) • Database Tuning • AWR Report (MOS ID: 748642.1) • ADDM report (MOS ID: 250655.1) • Active Session History (ASH) • OS - OSWatcher (MOS ID: 301137.1) Q
  • 37. Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | Test: Pre-Production Testing Common Optimizations • Use statistics_level=ALL during the testing/diagnosis phase. Make sure to reset to TYPICAL afterwards. This will help capture runtime Execution plans with row counts & row source stats. • For long running SQLs - Display cursor report (with ALL +ALLSTATS ) can be used to while SQL/job is running which massively speeds up the identification of sub- optimal execution plans and their solution. • The other alternative is SQL Trace - for which the trace can be enabled on the Job or that particular SQL level. 37
  • 38. Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | Test: Pre-Production Testing Common Optimizations • For long running jobs or SQLs, it is best to start by investigating if good execution plans are being used. A poor execution plan (or even just one that is moderately sub- optimal) can be the root cause of contention, especially if that contention only occurs during a particular job. • Create custom indexes for long running jobs where a new index could significantly improve the execution plan and performance • For long running jobs with high level of contention on particular index segments , consider dropping the index before the job and recreating afterwards. Ensure that indexes are recreated in parallel and with exactly the same definition. And remember to ALTER INDEX to revert the degree of parallel (NOPARALLEL). 38
  • 39. Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | Test: Pre-Production Testing Common Optimizations • For long-running xdf or odf jobs creating materialized views (MV), consider cleaning up or truncating of any large MV logs (this requires MV complete refresh) • For high level of waits associated with redo log, especially “log buffer space” and “log file sync”, consider: – Change the configuration of redo logs – Move to faster filer – Increase redo log file sizes, increase the number of files or increase the log parallelism (hidden parameter _log_parallelism_max). 39
  • 40. Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | Test: Pre-Production Testing Common Optimizations • Once you have identified the long running jobs and SQL, you can check My Oracle Support for known issues and potential solutions or workarounds. • However, bear in mind that the fix or workaround may not necessarily fix your particular problem. • If you cannot confirm that you have exactly the same issue (from the diagnostics) you may still apply the fix, but should continue to gather diagnostics and search for a solution until the issue is fully resolved. • If you have identified that a long running job has an inefficient execution plan, you could use an SQL Profile to apply hints that will help the CBO choose a better execution plan. You will need SQL tuning expertise to do this. 40
