Hi there,

I am in the middle of the process of migrating from Oracle 8.0.5 to 8.1.7 on NT. Finally, our Oracle Application 11.0.3 has to work on database 8i.

I am following metalink document 148902.1 for the same.

As per this document, first I have to install 8.1.7.0.0 without doing any migration and then to apply patch set 8.1.7.1.1 and 8.1.7.1.3.

In the readme of 8.1.7.1.1, it is mentioned that before applying the patch, you should have migrated the database.

It was real confusion. But still I followed the document of metalink. In the readme of 8.1.7.1.1, it was mentioned to run
catalog,catproc,catrep and utlrp SQLs but I did not run them because the database was still not migrated at that time.

Now, I have first installed 8.1.7.0.0 and then applied patches 8.1.7.1.1 and 8.1.7.1.3.


Now, I have a question.

When should I run catalog,catproc,catrep and utlrp SQLs? Just before starting migration process? I am doing manual migration.

Pl. reply ASAP.

Thanks in Adv.
