Investigation/Solution:

I found out multimedia component was invalid after the upgrade:

SQL> set pages 1000

SQL> set lines 300

SQL>

SQL>

SQL> select COMP_ID,COMP_NAME,VERSION,VERSION_FULL,STATUS from dba_registry where COMP_NAME=’Oracle Multimedia’;

COMP_ID                        COMP_NAME

—————————— —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

VERSION                        VERSION_FULL                   STATUS

—————————— —————————— ——————————————–

ORDIM                          Oracle Multimedia

19.0.0.0.0                     19.3.0.0.0                     INVALID

 what I have done …. I have rolled-back the upgrade using flashback to Oracle 12cR1 , then applied the latest patches on 19c binaries with 19.10 (January 2021)…. And re-performed the upgrade again.

Observation: the upgrade will generate a file under /tmp directory called db2_catctl.dat in my case  (/tmp/$ORACLESID_catctl.dat) you better remove it before re-running the upgrade process again.

Also, ensure /etc/oratab file is pointing to Oracle 19c binaries

cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin

sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL> startup upgrade;

SQL> exit;

nohup $ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin/perl catctl.pl -n 2 -l /orcl/tmp/upgrade_19c_log/ catupgrd.sql &

check the upgrade logs….it should be successful

then recompile the objects and check database components:

SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql

SQ> select * from dba_registry;
