This situation is different from that described in Note 2496040.1. In this case, the user account assigned to an ACL is not Locked.

Cause of the Oracle Database Upgrade error

Before upgrade, one or more ACL principals are granted with privilege 'resolve' but the ACL has port range defined.

To identify ACL port range and principal/privilege assigned, use below queries:

sqlplus / as sysdba

set echo on pages 10000 linesize 200
col host for a20
col acl for a50
col principal format a20
col privilege for a15
col lower_port for 9999999999
col upper_port for 9999999999

select acl, principal, privilege from dba_network_acl_privileges;

select host, acl, lower_port, upper_port from dba_network_acls;

 

How to fix the Oracle Database Upgrade error

Follow the steps below to un-assign then re-assign the ACL to the host without port range.

Values used in the example:


ACL - /sys/acls/network_acl.xml
Host - localhost
lower_port - 25
upper_port - 25

Unassign the ACL


begin
DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.UNASSIGN_ACL (
 acl => '/sys/acls/network_acl.xml',
 host => 'localhost',
 lower_port => 25,
 upper_port => 25);
end;

Reassign the ACL back without the ports


DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ASSIGN_ACL (
 acl => '/sys/acls/network_acl.xml',
 host => 'localhost',
end;

All the users should be re-assigned to the ACL. To verify, use the same 2 SELECT queries above.
