Bug 36756459

If you use Oracle Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) with Oracle Data Guard to carry out a database move operation, then you must move the Data Guard Broker configuration files before starting your database move operation.

The default location for the DB_BROKER_CONFIG files is in the dbs directory in the earlier release Oracle Database Oracle home. When you use a database move operation to carry out a database move of database instances using Oracle Data Guard, you must move the DG_BROKER_CONFIG files to a mount point location outside of the earlier release Oracle home. Also ensure that the DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE parameters specify that location, instead of a location in the Oracle home.

Tasks Before Starting Your Database Move Operation using Oracle DBCA

To enable access to the DB_BROKER_CONFIG files during a rolling upgrade, you must complete the following tasks before starting the database move operation.

  1. Before you start the database move operation, set the Oracle Data Guard files DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE1 and DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE2 to a separate mount point on your server that is outside of the Oracle home path for either the source or target Oracle Database Oracle homes.

  2. Complete a successful database move operation of your earlier release Oracle home to the new Oracle Database release.
