 Description   
PROBLEM:

Even though source database service name does not look required on target server in the Hot-Cloning (Unplug-Plug Relocate) method, the autoupgrade utility still looks for non-existent source service name on target server. This problem occurs when source database is a CDB or not.

DATABASES:

  • Source database version: 12.2.0.1 (EE)
  • Target database version: 19.25 (EE)

CONFIGURATION:

global.autoupg_log_dir=C:\oracle\app\Ora-Admin\cfgtoollogs\autoupgrade
upg1.manage_network_files=SKIP
upg1.sid=REPO
upg1.source_home=C:\oracle\product\12.2.0\dbhome_1
upg1.target_cdb=PRODCDB
upg1.target_home=C:\oracle\app\Ora-Admin\product\19.0.0\dbhome_1
upg1.target_pdb_copy_option.REPO=file_name_convert=('C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\', 'D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\PRODCDB\')
upg1.source_dblink.REPO=repo_link 600
upg1.start_time=30/01/2025 14:00:00

WORKAROUND:
  • Create a dummy Windows service named for source database SID.
DOS> oradim -new -sid REPO
Instance created.

DOS>
  • Disable created service to be sure the autoupgrade utility cannot call it.

The OracleVssWriter services are also disabled since They are not needed in the case.

  • Run the autoupgrade utility again.
  • After the autoupgrade utility completes successfully, deleting created service is recommended.
DOS> oradim -delete -sid REPO
Unable to stop service, OS Error = 1062
Instance deleted.
