We are trying to upgrade from Oracle 10g/ArcSde9.3 to Oracle 11.2.0.3/ArcSde10.1 on a new server
The data are imported in Oracle 11g. We install ArcSde
In ArcCatalog, we make a direct connection sde:oracle11:server/instance We launch the check -> result ok But when we launch the upgrade we have this error in the sde_setup.log
[Wed Apr 24 12:17:23 2013] Cannot upgrade a user schema geodatabase when the master schema geodatabase is at a previous release. The master schema geodatabase must be upgraded first. [Wed Apr 24 12:17:23 2013] ERROR: Geodatabase schema object install not completed (-522).
In th e sdedc_Oracle.log i have this message [Wed Apr 24 12:16:53 2013] [27461] [TLSDK4337] db_array_fetch_attrs OCI Fetch Error (28595) [Wed Apr 24 12:16:53 2013] [27461] [TLSDK4337] load_buffer error -51 on GDB_REPLICAS, rowid -1
Are you using user-schema geodatabases? Did you upgrade the master (SDE) geodatabase first (as required)? Have you applied 10.1 SP1 to the Desktop client?
You'd probably be better off working with Tech Support for this sort of issue.
U se the user sde to make the upgrade. What do you mean by "Did you upgrade the master (SDE) geodatabase first (as required)?" -> How do you make this step ?
One of the many flaws in user-schema geodatabases is that they must all be at the same release at the same time -- Upgrade of one requires upgrade of all, master geodatabase first. This procedure is documented; are you following the procedure?
The error message disagrees (though that doesn't mean that something wonky in your geodatabase metadata isn't the root of the problem). I again recommend that you create a Tech Support incident to resolve this issue.
It's the default. You are apparently specifying a wrong option in either the UI or the Python command line. Did I mention that Tech Support deals with install/ upgrade issues all the time?
