How to Fix Incomplete RDBMS DST Upgrading in 12c

It is a good practice to raise a service request for issues of DST upgrading in production environment.

There is a database upgraded from 11.2.0.4 to 12.1.0.2 by using “Complete Checklist for Upgrading to Oracle Database 12c Release 1 using DBUA (Doc ID 1516557.1)”. For some reason, the DST upgrading was not complete successfully after the upgrading checking:

Current DST state is still “Upgrade”.

SQL>SELECT PROPERTY_NAME, SUBSTR(property_value, 1, 30) value
    FROM DATABASE_PROPERTIES
    WHERE PROPERTY_NAME LIKE 'DST_%'
    ORDER BY PROPERTY_NAME;

PROPERTY_NAME			    VALUE
----------------------------------- ------------------------------
DST_PRIMARY_TT_VERSION		    18
DST_SECONDARY_TT_VERSION	    14
DST_UPGRADE_STATE		    UPGRADE

Try to end the upgrading, still got issues.

SQL>shutdown immediate
SQL>startup

SQL>alter session set "_with_subquery"=materialize;
SQL>alter session set "_simple_view_merging"=TRUE;


SQL>VAR fail number
SQL>BEGIN
DBMS_DST.END_UPGRADE(:fail);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Failures:'|| :fail);
END;

Start database normally and run DBMS_DST.UPGRADE_DATABASE.

END;

Table list: "GSMADMIN_INTERNAL"."AQ$_CHANGE_LOG_QUEUE_TABLE_L"

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.



SQL>SELECT * FROM sys.dst$error_table;

End the upgrading.

DBMS_DST.END_UPGRADE(:fail);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Failures:'|| :fail);
END;

Check the successful upgrading.

SQL>SELECT PROPERTY_NAME, SUBSTR(property_value, 1, 30) value
      FROM DATABASE_PROPERTIES
     WHERE PROPERTY_NAME LIKE 'DST_%'
  ORDER BY PROPERTY_NAME;  

PROPERTY_NAME             VALUE
------------------------- -------
DST_PRIMARY_TT_VERSION       18
DST_SECONDARY_TT_VERSION      0
DST_UPGRADE_STATE          NONE


SQL>SELECT * FROM v$timezone_file;

FILENAME		VERSION     CON_ID
-------------------- ---------- ----------
timezlrg_18.dat 	     18 	 0
