pre upgrade recommendation - upgrade to 19c

satish
Dear Erman,

We are upgrading EBS database to19c. We ran preupgarde utility and need your guidance on what exact actions to be taken on below steps.

Since this is EBS database,can we remove OLAP as suggested in pre upgrade utility?We are not clear with step 6 below. Please suggest.


 Remove OLAP Catalog by running the 12.1.0.2.0 SQL script
      $ORACLE_HOME/olap/admin/catnoamd.sql script.

      The OLAP Catalog component, AMD, exists in the database.

      Starting with Oracle Database 12c, the OLAP Catalog (OLAP AMD) is
      desupported and will be automatically marked as OPTION OFF during the
      database upgrade if present. Oracle recommends removing OLAP Catalog
      (OLAP AMD) before database upgrade.  This step can be manually performed
      before the upgrade to reduce downtime.


  6.  Perform one of the following:
       1) Expire user accounts that use only the old 10G password version and
      follow the procedure recommended in Oracle Database Upgrade Guide under
      the section entitled, "Checking for Accounts Using Case-Insensitive
      Password Version".
       2) Explicitly set SQLNET.ALLOWED_LOGON_VERSION_SERVER in the 19
      SQLNET.ORA to a non-Exclusive Mode value, such as "11". (This is a short
      term approach and is not recommended because it will retain known
      security risks associated with the 10G password version.)

      Your database system has at least one account with only the 10G password
      version (see the PASSWORD_VERSIONS column of DBA_USERS).

      Starting with Oracle Database release 12.2.0.1, Exclusive Mode is the new
      default password-based authentication mode. All Exclusive Mode
      login/authentication attempts will fail for preexisting user accounts
      which only have the 10G password version and neither the 11G or 12C
      password version (see DBA_USERS.PASSWORD_VERSIONS.) For more information,
      refer to "Understanding Password Case Sensitivity and Upgrades" in the
      Oracle Database Upgrade Guide.

Yes. Preupgrade will report it. : The preupgrade.jar log file provides instructions to remove the OLAP catalog.. It does not actually remove the OLAP catalog. Run the $ORACLE_HOME/olap/admin/catnoamd.sql script manually to remove the OLAP catalog.

OLAP Catalog as known as AMD. Oracle E-Business Suite has no dependencies on AMD and so this is acceptable. Reference : Interoperability Notes: Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2 with Oracle Database 19c (Doc ID 2552181.1)
