Hi Experts

We were doing an upgrade from 4.7 to ECC. After Database upgrade from 9.2 to 10.2 we are getting the following error while starting the database.

Please help.

ORA-24324: Service handle not initialized

ORA-01041: internal error. hostdef extension doesn't exist

ORA-01092: ORACLE instance terminated. Disconnection forced

Madhav,

I guess this is because the upgrade has not been completely done. The startup with UPGRADE option is reqired for post installation steps.

Read the patch set installtion readme file and complete the post instalation tasks.

After installing the patch set, you need to perform the following steps:

1. Enter the following SQL*Plus commands:

SQL> STARTUP UPGRADE

SQL> run the required script

2.Restart the database:

SQL> SHUTDOWN

SQL> STARTUP

this should solve your problem.

HI

Thanks for your reply but have a small question over here.

What is the script you are referring to ?

This would help me a lot.

Thanks

Hi Madhav,

Have you gone through the upgrade guide? Download the installation guide from http://service.sap.com/instguides

You will find the step by step documentation & script for upgrade to database 10G.

Hope this help

Madhav,

The same should be available in the readme file and the guide.
