Table A-2 Upgrade Assistant Response File Mode Command Line Parameters

Parameter	Required or Optional Parameter?	Description
-readiness	Required for Readiness Check	Performs the upgrade readiness check without performing any actual examines or upgrades. Schemas and configuration are checked. Note: Do not specify this parameter if you have specified the -examine parameter. For more information, see Performing the Readiness Check
-threads	Optional	Identify the number of threads available for concurrent schema upgrades or readiness checks of the schemas. The value must be a positive integer in the range 1 to 8. Default is 4 threads.
-response	Required.	File containing inputs required to perform an upgrade. This file can be generated from inputs entered when the Upgrade Assistant is run in graphical mode.
-examine	Optional.	If this option is present, Upgrade Assistant performs the examine phase but DOES NOT perform any actual upgrades. Note: Do not specify this parameter if you have specified the -readiness parameter.
-logLevel	Optional.	Logging level. Select one of the following: TRACE NOTIFICATION WARNING ERROR INCIDENT_ERROR The default logging level is NOTIFICATION. Note: Consider setting the -logLevel to TRACE so that more information will be logged. This will be useful when troubleshooting a failed upgrade. The Upgrade Assistant's log files can become very large if -logLevel TRACE is used.
-logDir	Optional.	Change the default location of upgrade log files and temporary files. You must specify an existing, writable directory where Upgrade Assistant will create log files and temporary files. On UNIX operating systems, the default locations are: ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/upgrade/logs ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/upgrade/temp On Windows operating systems, the default locations are: ORACLE_HOME\oracle_common\upgrade\logs ORACLE_HOME\oracle_common\upgrade\temp
