    CREATE TABLE errors in Upgrade Express logs; "insufficient privileges"

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 19.01

    Description:
    I have run Upgrade Express on our test server and have many CREATE TABLE errors in my logs (steps 1001, 1003, 1004, 1005, 1007, 1009, 1012).

    I had my DBA grant CREATE_TABLE privileges to user aleph and to aleph_admin.

    I have also get the following error doing "s+ abc50":

    user ABC50 lacks CREATE SESSION privilege; logon denied.

    I found some Knowlege Base entries that address this error that tell us to setup the passwords in Util Y/8 (my DBA tells me that currently the dba_users table has not passwords setup:

    SQL> select username,password from dba_users where username='ABC50';

    USERNAME PASSWORD
    ------------------------------ ------------------------------
    ABC50

    When I try to run Util Y/8 to set the passwords for the ABC libraries I get the following error:

    Enter ALEPH_DBA user/passwd, or press [Enter] to exit :aleph_dba/aleph_dba_pw_here
    Change passwd in Oracle

    SQL*Plus: Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production on Tue May 11 11:43:21 2010

    Copyright (c) 1982, 2008, Oracle. All rights reserved.

    SQL> Connected.
    SQL> SQL> alter user ABC01 identified by new_pw
    *
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00922: missing or invalid option

    How do I clean up all of these errors so I can run my failed Upgrade Express Oracle steps?

    [Later:]
    I was able to run util y/8 with no errors reported to set the ABCnn passwords. But Aleph still has no permissions to do anything (cannot create session, cannot create table, cannot update database, etc).

    [Later:]
    Our DBA granted all of the permissions for the ABCnn libraries that were in the create_ora_user script. I am now able to s+ abc01, etc.

    [Later:]
    I can now run s+ and do updates from s+ as any ABCnn user but still cannot do updates from Aleph. I just tried to do some renewals and get the following error in the logs:

    Oracle error: io_z65_update
    ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

    Resolution:
    The site needed to consult the "How to Upgrade Oracle Software and Database from Oracle Version 10.2.0.4 to 11.1" document. That doc includes a script to re-create the roles without passwords. As an oracle11 user, enter the following commands:

    cd /exlibris/ftp_from_exlibris/scripts/11
    csh -f fix_roles_def.csh


    [From site:] We should have all the requirements installed now per the post upgrade activities:
