Chef is a configuration management tool for dealing with machine setup on physical servers, virtual machines and in the cloud. Chef Infra is a powerful automation platform that transforms infrastructure into code. Whether you’re operating in the cloud, on-premises, or in a hybrid environment, Chef Infra automates how infrastructure is configured, deployed, and managed across your network, no matter its size. The knife-oci plugin allows users to interact with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure through Chef Knife.

• First thing we need is hosted chef account for that register and create your account at https://manage.chef.io/login. 

• After the verify your account, you have to login now.

• Now, create one organization. An organization is the top-level entity for role-based access control in the Chef server.

• Provide the Full name  and short name, then click on Create Organization.

• Download the Chef Repo by clicking on Download Starter Kit in your Chef workstation.

• In Chef Workstation host, unzip the chef repo.

To upgrade from Oracle 11gR2 to Oracle 18c/19c, we need to remove Streams setup. For detailed steps, refer to the section “Removing an Oracle Streams Configuration” in the Oracle Streams Concepts and Administration Guide specific for the Oracle release from which you are removing.

It is observed that even though there are no Streams Processes or Rules.

sqlplus /nolog
connect / as sysdba

delete from sys.apply$_source_obj ;

delete from sys.apply$_source_schema;

commit;

Then run again the preupgrade script.

Stay tuned for more articles on Oracle 19c
