B Files Reference

This appendix lists and describes files that contain settings and configuration data that is transferred from the source to the target Oracle home in an upgrade.

The Upgrade Type column indicates the method of upgrading the file. In some cases, the OracleAS Upgrade Assistant processes the file, copying the majority of, if not all of, the customizations made to it to the 10g (9.0.4) Oracle Application Server instance. (Exceptions such as port numbers, mount points, and other configuration settings that may require adjustment after the upgrade are identified in the guide; you may need to alter the file after upgrade.)

Files of the Manual upgrade type are not processed by the OracleAS Upgrade Assistant. Customizations made to these files in the source instance must be transferred manually to the equivalent files in the destination instance.

A text description of each file follows the tables:

Table B-1, "Files Containing Upgrade Data (Sorted by File)"

Table B-2, "Files Containing Upgrade Data (Sorted by Path)"

Upgraded and created schemas are listed in Table B-3, "Infrastructure Upgrade (Schema) Processes "
