We need to execute utlrp.

sql script compile the invalid

objects in the database, as a part of database
upgrades/migrations between different versions of Oracle
Application and non-application databases.

Utlrp.sql script is located at $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin

directory.

Oracle recommends executing the utlrp.sql script to compile

the invalid’s objects in restricted mode to avoid any users
connecting to the database. Compiling objects in restricted
mode not enables parallel process compilation and
compilation will take long time.

Here I will illustrate two scenarios’ to compile the

objects and second method will be faster than the first one
[Oracle recommended one]

1st Method [Process As per Upgrade note ids]

=============================================

Perform upgrade steps like executing catpatch.sql.

Now we need to compile invalid objects in the database.

Start database listener

Start database in restricted mode

sqlplus “/as sysdba”

SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql

In this method utlrp not running in parallel, we can verify

the same by using the following queries.

SQL> SELECT job_name FROM dba_scheduler_running_jobs WHERE

job_name like 'UTL_RECOMP_SLAVE_%';

no rows selected

SQL> SELECT job_name FROM dba_scheduler_jobs WHERE job_name

like 'UTL_RECOMP_SLAVE_%';

no rows selected
2nd Method, which I recommend
=============================

Perform upgrade steps like executing catpatch.sql.

Now we need to compile invalid objects in the database.

Start database listener

Start database in normal mode

Set the job_queue_processes=0 to avoid any jobs scheduled

using dba_jobs, it is dynamic parameter, we can issue when
database is up and running also

Sqlplus “/as sysdba”

SQL> Alter system set job_queue_processes=0

SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql

Now we can verify that parallel compilation is running

SQL> SELECT job_name FROM dba_scheduler_running_jobs WHERE

job_name like 'UTL_RECOMP_SLAVE_%';

JOB_NAME
------------------------------
UTL_RECOMP_SLAVE_2
UTL_RECOMP_SLAVE_4
UTL_RECOMP_SLAVE_3

SQL> SELECT job_name FROM dba_scheduler_jobs WHERE job_name

like 'UTL_RECOMP_SLAVE_%';

JOB_NAME
------------------------------
UTL_RECOMP_SLAVE_4
UTL_RECOMP_SLAVE_3
UTL_RECOMP_SLAVE_2

This process will reduce the time to compile invalid

objects, which in turn helps to reduce the upgrade time.

Note:
Since database is opened in normal mode and listener is up
and running, any user can connect to database and can
perform activity, this will causes issue in compiling
invalid objects.

To avoid this problem we have to configure the database

listener port to new port number to avoid the users to
connect to the database.

Configure the database listener with new port number

Make the changes in tnsnames.ora file with new port number

for this database, otherwise parallel process will not
start.
