Installing 10g Grid Control Release 4 requires any previous releases of Grid Control, that is any 10.2.0.x.0 installation, and upgrade to 10.2.0.4.0 release. If you do not have a previous release, but want to have a 10.2.0.4.0 Grid Control environment, then first install 10.2.0.1.0 Grid Control (10.2.0.2.0 for Windows), and then upgrade it to 10.2.0.4.0.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are using the corrective actions feature in your existing 10.2.0.X.0 deployment, then you may run into a schema inconsistency which can cause an upgrade to fail (bug 5855008). If you are using corrective actions, then execute the following PL/SQL block in the Enterprise Manager repository using sqlplus (connected as SYSMAN), BEFORE doing the upgrade, in order to clean up the inconsistent data.

BEGIN
FOR r IN (SELECT job_id
FROM mgmt_corrective_action a
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT 1
FROM mgmt_job j
WHERE j.job_id = a.job_id)
) LOOP
UPDATE mgmt_policy_assoc_cfg c
SET crit_action_job_id = NULL
WHERE crit_action_job_id = r.job_id
;
UPDATE mgmt_policy_assoc_cfg c
SET warn_action_job_id = NULL
WHERE warn_action_job_id = r.job_id
;
UPDATE mgmt_policy_assoc_cfg c
SET info_action_job_id = NULL
WHERE info_action_job_id = r.job_id
;
DELETE
FROM mgmt_corrective_action
WHERE job_id = r.job_id
;
COMMIT;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
