Symptoms

When upgrading an Oracle database, the Oracle Database Upgrade Guide suggests that when the upgrade is completed, run one of these scripts to display the results of the upgrade:

 @utlu102s.sql
 @utlu111s.sql
 @utlu112s.sql
@utlu121s.sql
@utlu122s.sql
@utlusts.sql
When using  the Database Upgrade Assistant, DBUA, utlusts.sql is executed at the end of catupgrd.sql, and the
results are printed in files upg_summary.log, catupgrd0.log.


The typical results from running one of these scripts (in this example, utlu102s.sql) is:

Similar results occur for utlu111s.sql, utlu112s.sql, utlu121s.sql, utlu122s.sql and utlusts.sql

However there is a possibility that, during the upgrade, one of these components may not have been updated correctly and therefore may show a different status other than VALID, such as INVALID, NO SCRIPT, or UPGRADED.

There are numerous reasons why a component may end up in a state other than VALID, those issues will not be discussed in this document. However if, after an upgrade, you had components with a status other than VALID and either you or Oracle support has corrected the issue, running the script again will still show that same status as preciously.

If you query DBA_REGISTRY

select comp_id, version, status from DBA_registry;


you notice that the status has changed and now reflects what you would expect the correct value to be (VALID)

The example above is for 10.2.0, but this same issue also affects 11.1.X,11.2.X 12.1.X, and 12.2.X Oracle RDBMS releases
