Upgrade to LIQUENT InSight 6.2

Verify that you are running the Oracle Database installation SQL script on a Windows based computer. If your Oracle Database is hosted by a Unix server, you must run the Oracle Database installation SQL script on a Windows client that can remotely access the database server using Oracle’s SQL*Plus.

  1. Copy the database.zip file from the Database Server installation media to the temp directory you created and extract the ZIP file.
  2. Open the define.migration file in Notepad.
  3. Set the value to the right of the equals sign for the following ID or passwords in the define.migration file you are editing.
    Only define the settings from this list that are already present in the define.migration file. Do not add any setting to the file from this list.
    • define sid=name of the database instance for the existing LIQUENT InSight database
    • define orapath=database files location

      D:\oracle\oraXX\insight or \apps\oracle\oradata\insight

      Note: To prevent connection errors when modifying database execution scripts, because the @ symbol is a value in the Oracle database connection string, enter database passwords containing the character @ using quotes.
    Password abc@123 should be entered as '"abc@123"' (single quotes, double quotes, password, double quotes, single quotes).
  4. Open the command prompt, type: sqlplus/nolog and press Enter.
  5. In the sqlplus prompt, type @master.sql and press Enter.
  6. Once the script is complete, check the database log file for errors.
    This file is generated in the directory where the build script was executed, and should be found in the same directory created previously.
    Note: In case of errors, refer to the Database Script Error Messages topic.
    D:\install\InSightDBUpgrade1\DBupgrade
  7. Optional Step:
    • Open the define.passwords.alternate file in Notepad and update passwords values if needed. Save and close file.
    • At the sqlplus prompt type: exit
