We have done over 70 Oracle 19c upgrades (from 12.1.0.2), using dbua, without
any failures. Today, I tried to run through one and it failed. The failure is
with the SYS.ALERT_QUE stuff:
QL> select substr(owner||'.'||object_name,1,45), substr(object_type,1,15)
2 from dba_objects where status <> 'VALID' order by 1,2;
SUBSTR(OWNER||'.'||OBJECT_NAME,1,45) SUBSTR(OBJECT_T
--------------------------------------------- ---------------
SYS.ALERT_QT TABLE
SYS.ALERT_QUE QUEUE
SYS.ALERT_QUE$1 RULE
SYS.ALERT_QUE$1 RULE SET
SYS.ALERT_QUE_N RULE SET
SYS.ALERT_QUE_R RULE SET
SYS.AQ$_ALERT_QT_E QUEUE
SYS.AQ$_ALERT_QT_F VIEW
SYS.AQ$_ALERT_QT_V EVALUATION CONT
SYS.AQ$ALERT_QT VIEW
I tried to drop and rebuild this and it worked, except that about 50 other
items then because invalid and would not validate. Looking online, I found a
suggestion to run catproc, so I tried that and ended up back where I started,
with the SYS.ALERT_QUE stuff invalid again.
The only issue I ran into in the pre-upgrade steps was that it complained that
job_queue_processes was set to 0. The suggestion was to either remove it from
the spfile or set it to a non-zero value. I chose to remove it.
I am in the process of restoring the database from the last backup, but I am
not sure how to proceed as I'm sure if I just try to upgrade again, it will
fail with the same error.
Does anyone have any idea what is causing this and how to fix / avoid it?
