About Locally Modifiable Global Parameters for AutoUpgrade Configuration File
Locally modifiable global parameters for the AutoUpgrade configuration file enable you to set a global parameter that can be overwritten by a database-specific local parameter.
Usage Notes
If you set required AutoUpgrade parameters globally, as a locally modifiable global parameter, then these parameters can be overridden by local parameters set for particular upgrades, so that you can better control AutoUpgrade job processing.
With locally modifiable global parameters, you can use the prefix
global
to set values for required parameters as global
parameters for all jobs in your AutoUpgrade configuration file, but identify the
same parameter with a local job prefix to reset the global value to a different
value for a particular job in the same configuration file. You can also choose to
set locally modifiable global parameters only as local parameters for each
AutoUpgrade job.
Note:
These parameters are available in the latest version of AutoUpgrade that you can download from My Oracle Support.When a locally modifiable global parameter is set both with a global prefix, and with a local job prefix, the locally modified parameter value overrides the global parameter values for the job identified by the prefix that you use with the parameter.
For example, with global.target_home
, the syntax you
use is in the form global.target_home=Global target
Oracle home
, and database.target_home=local target Oracle
home.
Example
In the AutoUpgrade configuration file, the required parameter
target_home
is set globally to one Oracle home path. But in the
configuration file, the same parameter is set locally to a different Oracle home
path. As AutoUpgrade processes the jobs in the configuration file, it uses the
locally defined path for target_home
for the job defined by the
prefix upgrade3
, overriding the global parameter setting:
global.target_home=/u01/app/oracle/23.0.0/dbhome01
upgrade3.target_home=/u03/app/oracle3/19.1.0/dbhome3
