 sqlplus / as sysdba
 ensure sqlplus is 19.0.0.0 and the Version is 19.x.x.x
 Create pfile=’init<TARGET>.ora’ from spfile;
 Shutdown the Upgraded Database
 Add this line back to the pfile
*.sec_case_sensitive_logon=FALSE
 Remove this line in the pfile
*._fix_control='9185228:0'
 Add / modify the following lines to help with performance in 19c
*._fix_control='27500916:0'
*.event = '10946 trace name context forever, level 65536'
*.compatible='19.0.0'
*.open_cursors=1500
*.optimizer_adaptive_plans=FALSE
*.optimizer_adaptive_statistics=FALSE
*.optimizer_index_cost_adj=25
*.optimizer_features_enable='19.1.0'
*.processes=1500
*.temp_undo_enabled=TRUE
*.pga_aggregate_limit=0
 Copy the tnsnames.ora into the version 19 admin path
 Remove the spfile
 Startup database
 Create spfile=’spfile<TARGET>.ora’ from pfile;
 GRANT INHERIT PRIVILEGES ON USER SYS TO PILATDBA;
 GRANT INHERIT PRIVILEGES ON USER SYS TO IBMS;
 grant select on SYS.DBA_SCHEDULER_RUNNING_JOBS to IBMS with grant option;

@?/rdbms/admin/execemx emx
 Restart the Database

Execute the below using PILATDBA user.


BEGIN
privs.dev('C');
compile_all;
init_ibms_table_column;
PILATDBA.refresh_ibms_procedure_args;
COMMIT;
END;

DBMS_STATS.lock_table_stats('RATINGS', 'DEMO_PRED_SUMMARY');
end;

Execute the below using SYS user.

 EXEC DBMS_STATS.GATHER_FIXED_OBJECTS_STATS;
