This list provides the version and status of each SERVER component in the database.

If necessary, rerun the catupgrd.sql script after correcting any problems.

4. Restart the database:


SQL> SHUTDOWN
SQL> STARTUP

5. Compile Invalid Objects

Run the utlrp.sql script to recompile all invalid PL/SQL packages now instead of when the packages are accessed for the first time. This step is optional but recommended.

SQL> select * from v$version;

Hi Babu,

I want to upgrade 10.2.0.2 database to 10.2.0.4. for which i installed binaries of 10.2.0.4 in seperate directory.

2.) now changed environment variables for this oracle sid to point to new directory (oracle home of 10.2.0.4).

3.) Now while doing startup upgrade, it fails with the following error:

SQL> startup upgrade;
ORA-00401: the value for parameter compatible is not supported by this release

Value of compatible parameter in init.ora file is set to 10.2.0.2
compatible=10.2.0.2

Any ideas, what can be the issue?

Hi thanks for this, but after upgrading I found that I could not take exports and found the answer

http://oracle-in-examples.blogspot.com/2008/03/exp-00008-oracle-error-6550-encountered.html

here is a part of that post

. . exporting table DEF$_ERROR
EXP-00008: ORACLE error 6510 encountered
ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_EXPORT_EXTENSION", line 50
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_EXPORT_EXTENSION", line 126
ORA-06512: at line 1
. . exporting table DEF$_LOB 0 rows exported
...

I have found that we need to grant some sys procedures to this user for getting rid of these errors.
So I logged in as sys and executed the following commands:
GRANT EXECUTE ON SYS.DBMS_DEFER_IMPORT_INTERNAL TO ;
GRANT EXECUTE ON SYS.DBMS_EXPORT_EXTENSION TO ;
And it really helped me to fix it.

Thanks,
Sergey.

Thanks

Best regards
