Starting the Reconfiguration Wizard

Note:

Shut down the administration server and all collocated managed servers before starting the reconfiguration process. See Stopping Servers and Processes.

To start the Reconfiguration Wizard in graphical mode:

1. Sign in to the system on which the domain resides.
2. Open the command shell (on Linux operating systems) or open a command prompt window (on Windows operating systems).
3. Edition Based Database Users Only: If your schemas are configured with EBR database, a default edition name must be manually supplied before you run the Reconfiguration Wizard.
   Run the following SQL command to set the default edition:

   ALTER DATABASE DEFAULT EDITION = edition_name;

   where edition_name is the child edition name.

4. Go to the oracle_common/common/bin directory:
   • (Linux) NEW_ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin
   • (Windows) NEW_ORACLE_HOME\oracle_common\commom\bin
5. Start the Reconfiguration Wizard with the following logging options:
   • (Linux) ./reconfig.sh -log=log_file -log_priority=ALL
   • (Windows) reconfig.cmd -log=log_file -log_priority=ALL

   where log_file is the absolute path of the log file you'd like to create for the domain reconfiguration session. This can be helpful if you need to troubleshoot the reconfiguration process.

   The parameter -log_priority=ALL ensures that logs are logged in fine mode.

   When you run this command, the following error message might appear to indicate that the default cache directory is not valid:

   *sys-package-mgr*: can't create package cache dir
   

   You can change the cache directory by setting the environment variable CONFIG_JVM_ARGS. For example:

   CONFIG_JVM_ARGS=-Dpython.cachedir=valid_directory

   In this section, NEW_ORACLE_HOME refers to the new Oracle Home.
