SharePlex 11.0 - SharePlex Upgrade Guide for Oracle Source

Upgrade on Linux/Unix for Oracle Database

These instructions are for upgrading SharePlex when configured for an Oracle database running on a Linux or Unix system.

Important!:

  • If you are upgrading some SharePlex installations in a configuration, but not others, view the SharePlex Release Notes for interoperability support between versions.
  • Perform the upgrade on all Linux machines that host Oracle targets involved in SharePlex replication.
  • See Before you Upgrade for any pre-installation items that apply to your SharePlex installation.
  • You can upgrade SharePlex in the product directory that is currently being used, or you can upgrade to a new product directory. Instructions are supplied for both scenarios.

To upgrade SharePlex in the current product directory:

  1. Log in to the system as the SharePlex installation owner.
  2. (If using copy/append) In sp_ctrl on the target systems, stop sp_sync_launcher before applying the SharePlex upgrade.

    sp_ctrl> stop launcher

  3. (If applicable) In sp_ctrl on the source system, use the set param command to stop DDL replication by setting the SP_OCT_REPLICATE_ALL_DDL parameter to 0.

    sp_ctrl> set param SP_OCT_REPLICATE_ALL_DDL 0

  4. Shut down the SharePlex instance that you are upgrading.

    sp_ctrl> shutdown

  5. Verify that all SharePlex processes in that SharePlex instance are stopped, and stop any that are still running.

    # ps -ef | grep sp_

    sp_ctl> stop process

  6. (Optional) If you need to upgrade the Oracle database, do so now.
  7. Tar up the existing SharePlex product directory and move the tar file to different location as a backup.
  8. Run the SharePlex installation program.

    1. Log in to the system as the user that will be named as the SharePlex Administrator during this installation. This user will own the installation files and binaries.
    2. If sp_cop is running, shut it down.
      sp_ctrl> shutdown
    3. Copy the installation file to a temporary directory where you have write permissions.
    4. Grant executable permissions to the file.
      #chmod 555installation_file
    5. Run the .tpm file. If installing SharePlex in a cluster, run the installer from the primary node (the one to which the shared disk is mounted)
      # ./installation_file
    6. Verify that the information shown on the first screen corresponds to the Oracle version and platform you are upgrading.
  9. Verify that the information shown on the first prompt corresponds to the Oracle version and platform that you are upgrading.
  10. Follow the prompts to supply the following information:

    Prompt Input
    Installation type

    Select the current product directory of the SharePlex installation you are upgrading.

    SharePlex Admin group

    Select the DBA-privileged group to which the SharePlex Administrator user belongs.

    Proceed with upgrade? Press Enter to confirm the SharePlex environment and proceed with the upgrade.
    License key (do you want to upgrade?)

    Press Enter to accept the default of N (no) to keep the existing license, or enter Y to specify a new license key if required for this upgrade.

    Please specify platform for license key (select a number):

    Please select the appropriate number from the following list of platforms to install the license key:

    1) Oracle
    2) File
    
    3) JMS
    4) Kafka
    5) SQL Server
    6) Postgres
    7) MySQL
    8) Snowflake

    10) All Platforms

    NOTE: To install a trial version of SharePlex, users need to select the All Platforms option.

    License key

    (If Y was selected) Enter the new license key that you received from Quest.

    Note: The installer will upgrade the default variable-data directory that is listed in the default.yaml file, which is located in the data sub-directory of the product directory.

  11. Run the ora_setup Database Setup utility for each variable-data directory in the installation of SharePlex that you upgraded. See Database Setup for Oracle.
  12. Start SharePlex using the following syntax with options as appropriate.

    $ cd /productdir/bin

    $ ./sp_cop [-uidentifier] &

    where:

    • -uidentifier starts sp_cop with the unique identifier for the instance you are upgrading, and is only needed if there are multiple instances of sp_cop running on the system.
  13. (If applicable) In sp_ctrl on the source system, set the the SP_OCT_REPLICATE_ALL_DDL parameter to 1.

    sp_ctrl> set param SP_OCT_REPLICATE_ALL_DDL 1

To upgrade SharePlex to a new product directory:

  1. Shut down sp_cop.

    sp_ctrl> shutdown

  2. (Optional) If you need to upgrade the Oracle database, do so now.
  3. Tar up the existing SharePlex product directory and move the tar file to different location as a backup.
  4. Run the SharePlex installer and, when prompted to specify the product directory location, select New Installation.

    You are prompted for the following:

    Prompt

    Input

    Installation type

    Select <New Installation>.

    Product directory location (path)

    Enter the path to the SharePlex installation directory.

    If the specified directory does not exist, the installer creates it. If the directory exists, it must be empty. The installer quits if the directory contains prior SharePlex installations or other files.

    In a cluster, install on the shared disk. For more information, see Installation and setup for Oracle cluster in the Installation and Setup Guide for an Oracle Sourcedocument.

    Variable data directory location

    Specify an empty directory. The installer creates the specified directory if it does not exist. Important! Do not install this directory into the SharePlex product directory.

    In a cluster, install the variable-data directory on the shared disk. For more information, see Installation and setup for Oracle cluster in the Installation and Setup Guide for an Oracle Source document.

    SharePlex Admin group

    Enter the DBA-privileged group to which the SharePlex Administrator user belongs, which will own the SharePlex binaries. If the default group of the SharePlex Administrator is oinstall, select any option, and make certain this user is listed under oinstall in the etc/group file. For more information, see Installer checklist in the Installation and Setup Guide for an Oracle Source document.

    TCP/IP port for SharePlex

    Enter the port number to use for SharePlex TCP/IP communications.

    License key (do you have?)

  • See Before you Upgrade for any pre-installation items that apply to your SharePlex installation.

To run the upgrade:

  1. Log in to the system as the user that will be named as the SharePlex Administrator during this installation. This user will own the installation files and binaries.

  2. (Reinstallations) If sp_cop is running, shut it down.
  3. Copy the installation file to a temporary directory where you have write permissions.
  4. Grant executable permissions to the file.

    # chmod 555 installation_file

  5. Run the .tpm file. If installing SharePlex in a cluster, run the installer from the primary node (the one to which the shared disk is mounted)

    # ./installation_file

  6. You are prompted for the following:

    Prompt for: Input
    Installation type

    Select <New Installation>.

    Product directory location (path)

    Enter the path to the existing SharePlex installation directory.

    Variable data directory location

    Enter the name of the existing variable-data directory.

    SharePlex Admin group

    Enter the DBA-privileged group to which the SharePlex Administrator user belongs, which owns the SharePlex binaries.

    TCP/IP port for SharePlex

    Enter the port number of the SharePlex instance you are upgrading.

    License key (do you want to upgrade?)

    Press Enter to accept the default of N (no) to keep the existing license, or enter Y to specify a new license key if required for this upgrade.

    Please specify platform for license key (select a number):

    Please select the appropriate number from the following list of platforms to install the license key:

    1) Oracle
    2) File
    
    3) JMS
    4) Kafka
    5) SQL Server
    6) Postgres
    7) MySQL
    8) Snowflake
    9) Event Hubs
    10) All Platforms

    NOTE: To install a trial version of SharePlex, users need to select the All Platforms option.

    License key

    (If Y was selected) Enter the new license key that you received from Quest.

    The installer displays the location of the install log file and then quits.

  7. Run the appropriate Database Setup utility for your database to upgrade the SharePlex database account. See SharePlex Utilities.

  8. Repeat all of the installation procedures for all Unix and Linux machines that host an Open Target database.

Verify Partition Schemes

If you are upgrading from a SharePlex version earlier than 9.0, the method of creating and storing partition schemes and row partitions for horizontal partitioning has changed. This information no longer is stored in the database.

When you run database setup during an upgrade, it converts the data from the SHAREPLEX_PARTITION table to the new internal storage format. After the conversion, you can view the partitions with the view partitions command in sp_ctrl to ensure that the partitions converted properly.

Note: For more information about the view partitions command, see theSharePlex Reference Guide.

To view row partitions:

  1. Run sp_ctrl on the source system.
  2. Issue the following command with either option, depending on whether you want to view all partitions or just those for a particular partition scheme.

    sp_ctrl> view partitions for {scheme_name | all}

The following is an example of converted partition schemes. Note that the conversion program populates the Name field with the name of the queue from the Route column.

Scheme        Name           Route                            Hash     Condition
-----------   -------------  ------------------------------   ------   ---------------
HASH4         hash           sys02:hash|#@o.ora112            4        ROWID
TEST_CT       highvalues     sys02:highvalues@o.ora112                 sales>=10000
TEST_CT       lowvalues      sys02:lowvalues@o.ora112                  sales<10000
