I will describe how to upgrade Enterprise Manager 13.1.0.0 to the new 13.2.0.0 version.

At the beginning we have to ensure that we applied the latest PSU on the repository database.

It is mandatory to apply the following patch before upgrading to Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13.2.0.0:

DATABASE PATCH SET UPDATE 12.1.0.2.160419

To install the patch you have to check the following point:

– you have to use Oracle Interim Patch Installer version 12.2.0.1.8

Once you have downloaded the patch and unzipped it, you can check for potential conflicts:

oracle@vmCC13c:/u01/app/oracle/ [EMREP13C] opatch prereq
CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail
-phBaseDir /oracle/u01/app/oracle/software/22899531/22806133

   from           : /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/oraInst.loc

OPatch succeeded.

OUI version       : 12.1.0.2.0
Invoking prereq "checkconflictagainstohwithdetail"
Prereq "checkConflictAgainstOHWithDetail" passed.
OPatch succeeded.

And finally, you check for the system space available:

oracle@vmCC13c:/u01/app/oracle/ [EMREP13C] $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch prereq
CheckSystemSpace -phBaseFile /oracle/u01/app/oracle/software/patch_list_dbhome.txt

PREREQ session
Oracle Home       : /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1
Central Inventory : /u01/app/oraInventory
   from           : /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/oraInst.loc
OPatch version    : 12.2.0.1.8
OUI version       : 12.1.0.2.0
Invoking prereq "checksystemspace"
Prereq "checkSystemSpace" passed.
OPatch succeeded.

Then once the pre requisites are ok, you stop the repository database, and you run the classical opatch apply command from the directory where you have unzipped the PSU.

You finally check the Oracle inventory:

oracle@vmtestoraCC13c:/home/oracle/ [EMREP13C] opatch lsinventory
Oracle Interim Patch Installer version 12.2.0.1.8

Secondly you have to disable the optimizer_adaptive_features parameter in the repository database:

SQL> alter system set optimizer_adaptive_features=false scope=both;

System altered.

Then we have to ensure that the tables in the Management Repository do not have any snapshots created:

SQL> select master , log_table from all_mview_logs where log_owner='SYSMAN';
no rows selected

Then we have to ensure that the tables in the Management Repository do not have any snapshots created:

SQL> select master , log_table from all_mview_logs where log_owner='SYSMAN';
1
no rows selected

We verify if any login triggers are set:

SQL> SELECT COUNT (trigger_name) FROM sys.dba_triggers
WHERE TRIGGERING_EVENT LIKE 'LOGON%' AND status='ENABLED';
SQL> SELECT trigger_name FROM sys.dba_triggers
WHERE TRIGGERING_EVENT LIKE 'LOGON%' AND status='ENABLED';

We verify if any logoff triggers are set:

SQL> SELECT COUNT (trigger_name) FROM sys.dba_triggers
WHERE TRIGGERING_EVENT LIKE 'LOGOFF%' AND status='ENABLED';
SQL> SELECT trigger_name FROM sys.dba_triggers
WHERE TRIGGERING_EVENT LIKE 'LOGOFF%' AND status='ENABLED';

If we find a trigger enabled, we disable it:

SQL> SELECT trigger_name, owner from sys.dba_triggers
WHERE TRIGGERING_EVENT LIKE 'LOGOFF%' AND status='ENABLED';
  
TRIGGER_NAME         OWNER
GSMLOGOFF            GSMADMIN_INTERNAL
  
SQL> alter trigger gsmadmin_internal.gsmlogoff disable;

Then you have to copy the EMKEY to the repository database:

oracle@vmCC13c:/u03/app/oracle/oms13c/bin/ [oms13c] emctl config emkey
-copy_to_repos -sysman_pwd dbi05manager
Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13c Release 1
Copyright (c) 1996, 2015 Oracle Corporation.  All rights reserved.
The EMKey has been copied to the Management Repository.
This operation will cause the EMKey to become unsecure.
After the required operation has been completed,
secure the EMKey by running "emctl config emkey -remove_from_repos".

Concerning the OMS shutdown we follow the following procedure:

We stop the JVMD and ADP engines explicitly:

oracle@vmCC13c:/u03/app/oracle/oms13c/bin/ [oms13c] emctl extended oms jvmd stop -all
Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13c Release 1
Copyright (c) 1996, 2015 Oracle Corporation.  All rights reserved.
No verb found to be registered with emctl extensibles framework
  
oracle@vmCC13c:/u03/app/oracle/oms13c/bin/ [oms13c] emctl extended oms adp stop -all
Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13c Release 1
Copyright (c) 1996, 2015 Oracle Corporation.  All rights reserved.
No verb found to be registered with emctl extensibles framework

Then we shut down completely the OMS:

oracle@v333:/home/oracle/ [oms13c] emctl stop oms -all
Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13c Release 1
Copyright (c) 1996, 2015 Oracle Corporation.  All rights reserved.
Stopping Oracle Management Server...
WebTier Successfully Stopped
Oracle Management Server Successfully Stopped
Oracle Management Server is Down
JVMD Engine is Down
Stopping BI Publisher Server...
BI Publisher Server Successfully Stopped
AdminServer Successfully Stopped
BI Publisher Server is Down

It is mandatory to stop the management agent in order to avoid errors during the migration phase:

oracle@vmtestoraCC13c:/home/oracle/ [agent13c] emctl stop agent
Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13c Release 1
Copyright (c) 1996, 2015 Oracle Corporation.  All rights reserved.
Stopping agent ... stopped.

WATCH OUT: before running the installer unset PERLLIB and PERL5LIB variables (if for example you have environment variables defined for your oracle user) otherwise you will get the following error:

/opt/oracle/Middleware13c/perl/lib/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Cwd/Cwd.so:
undefined symbol: Perl_Gthr_key_ptr
ERROR: Unable to continue with the installation
because some one-off patches could not be applied successfully.

Then once the oms and the management agent are stopped you can run:

oracle@v333:/opt/software/ [oms13c] ./em13200_linux64.bin

The first installer screen appears:

em1

I choosed not to receive Security alerts then I Select Next:

em2

I select Next, I skip the software Updates

em3

We check the prerequisites are ok

em4

We choose to upgrade an existing Enterprise Manager system, we enter the old Middleware home, and we select Next

em5

We enter the new Middleware home, and we select Next

em6

We enter the repository connection details, the sys and sysman passords, we confirm we have a correct repository backupm we disable the DDMP jobs and we select Next

em7

We select Yes to fix the issues

em8

We review the plugins and we select Next

em9

We have the possibility to add plugins we want to deploy while upgrading to EM 13.2

em10

We enter the weblogic username and password and we select Next

em11

I choosed not to configure a shared location for Oracle BI publisher

em12

We choose the default ports and we select Next

em13

We select Upgrade:

em14

The upgrade is running fine:=)

At the end of the upgrade, you have to run connected as root from the new OMS home the shell root.sh:

root@vmCC13c oms13cr2]# . root.sh
/etc exist
/u03/app/oracle/oms13cr2

Finally you have successfully upgraded to EM 13.2:

em15

Once the OMs is upgraded, you have to upgrade the management agents with the classical procedure. From the EM console you select upgrade agent as follows:

em16

em17

You add the management agent, and you select Submit

em18

You can follow the upgrade phase, finally you have to run the root.sh script on the management agent and cleanup the old agent environment with the EM console as follows:

You select the Post Agent Upgrade Tasks, you select the agent previously migrated:

em19

And you select Submit

The old agent home will be removed; you will just have to adapt your /etc/oratab file to give the new ORACLE_HOME for your agent 13.2

The last phase consists in deleting the old OMS home. As we were in 13.1 version, we only have to check nothing is running with the old environment, then delete the old home.

oracle@vmCC13c:/u03/app/oracle/oms13cr2/ [oms13c] ps -ef | grep oms | grep -v 13cr2
oracle   28463 27736  0 15:52 pts/5    00:00:00 grep --color=auto oms
  
oracle@vmCC13c:/u03/app/oracle/ [oms13c] ls

oracle@vmCC13c:/u03/app/oracle/ [oms13c] rm -rf oms13c

The new features are listed in the following URL and mainly concern the virtualization, the Middleware and Cloud Management, and some new features about incident management (always on monitoring installed on a different host for example).

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E73210_01/EMCON/GUID-503991BC-D1CD-46EC-8373-8423B2D43437.htm#EMCON-GUID-503991BC-D1CD-46EC-8373-8423B2D43437

Finally the upgrade phase to EM 13.2 is finished in a couple of hours and did not present any errors.
