The Upgrade Assistant failed in bringing up the database .


Hi All

Got this error during the upgrading the database to 11.2.0.4 (DBUA step 2-3) :
The Upgrade Assistant failed in bringing up the database ....

Here the action for fix the issue.

1. Remove all  spfile from Old ORACLE HOME/dbs (copy them or change there names).
2. Remove all from $ORACLE_BASE/cfgtoollogs/dbua
*** ORACLE_BASE - base directory given by you during software installation
3. Re-run the DBUA: cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin; ./dbua


Good Luck ...

    1. Hi, have you checked that there is no any spfile in old $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory? Close the dbua , exit and relogin with oracle user.

  5. Just wanted to say that deleting everything in the $ORACLE_BASE/cfgtoollogs/dbua/logs folder fixed my issue.
