Before you upgrade

  • The Portal must be running a minimum of version 10.4.00 to upgrade to 10.6.00.

  • Oracle 19c is required, and the database upgrade utility will step you through the process as part of your APTARE IT Analytics upgrade to 10.6.00.

    Note:

    To upgrade Oracle to 19c if the Portal is not at 10.6.00, see Upgrading the Oracle database application binaries (Windows) for Windows and see Upgrading Oracle database application binaries (Linux) for Linux.

    Note:

    The following actions can be performed by an Administrative user who is the member of ORA_DBA group.

    • Mouse double click or access the upgrade Utility Installer executable named sc_upgrader_xxxxx.exe on Windows.

      Or Execute the Upgrade utility Installer executable named sc_upgrader_xxxxx.bin on Linux.

    • Follow the installer prompts to extract the upgrade files and utilities.

    • If you have chosen to Run Later in the earlier steps, complete the upgrade process by running the upgrade utility located at:

      For Windows: C:\opt\aptare\upgrade\upgrade.bat

      Note:

      In a Shared Service environment, a message to drop user SCDBUSR may be displayed at the end. In such a case, See Dropping SCDBUSR in a shared service environment.

    alter session set container = scdb; or APTARE database Service name if not 'scdb'

    GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_CRYPTO TO PORTAL;

    Note:

    Not providing the privilege on a limited access environment can cause upgrade failure.
