Before performing your actual upgrade, back up any Custom Pages and Custom URLs, and upgrade the SQL SDL administrator user for Oracle.
Procedure
- If you have Custom Pages, back them up.
- If you have Custom URLs, back them up.
- If you use Oracle and if you are upgrading from a release before SDL Tridion 2011, then you used an SQL script called CreateTridionSYSUser.sql to create and name an SQL SDL Tridion administrator user when you first installed the Content Manager databases. This script granted certain rights to this user, so that it could create the databases.
Grant this SQL SDL administrator user a new right by executing the following command:
GRANT EXECUTE ON SYS.DBMS_LOCK TO <user> WITH GRANT OPTION;
where <user> is the user name of your SQL SDL Tridion administrator (by default, this name would be TRIDION_SYS).
