/opt/oracle/cfgtoollogs/DGPDEVL/preupgrade/preupgrade_fixups.sql
/opt/oracle/cfgtoollogs/DGPDEVL/preupgrade/postupgrade_fixups.sql

Execute fixup scripts as indicated below:

Before upgrade:

Log into the database and execute the preupgrade fixups

@/opt/oracle/cfgtoollogs/DGPDEVL/preupgrade/preupgrade_fixups.sql

After the upgrade:

Log into the database and execute the postupgrade fixups

@/opt/oracle/cfgtoollogs/DGPDEVL/preupgrade/postupgrade_fixups.sql

Preup Preupgrade
Action Issue Is
Number Preupgrade Check Name Remedied Further DBA Action
------ ------------------------ ---------- --------------------------------
1. invalid_objects_exist NO Manual fixup recommended.
2. sync_standby_db NO Informational only.
Further action is optional.
3. rman_recovery_version NO Informational only.
Further action is optional.

The fixup scripts have been run and resolved what they can. However,
there are still issues originally identified by the preupgrade that
have not been remedied and are still present in the database.
Depending on the severity of the specific issue, and the nature of
the issue itself, that could mean that your database is not ready
for upgrade. To resolve the outstanding issues, start by reviewing
the preupgrade_fixups.sql and searching it for the name of
the failed CHECK NAME or Preupgrade Action Number listed above.
There you will find the original corresponding diagnostic message
from the preupgrade which explains in more detail what still needs
to be done.

Application System Testing

Once the database has been upgraded to the satisfaction of the DBA, further testing by users and or developers is required.

Check/Set Initialization parameter : COMPATIBLE

Set the COMPATIBLE initialization parameter to an appropriate value. Oracle recommends increasing the COMPATIBLE parameter only after complete
testing of the upgraded database has been performed.

After you increase the COMPATIBLE parameter, the database cannot subsequently be downgraded to releases earlier than what is set for compatibility.
