Oracle recommends gathering dictionary statistics prior to upgrading the database.
To gather dictionary statistics execute the following command
while connected as SYSDBA:
EXECUTE dbms_stats.gather_dictionary_stats;

Oracle recommends removing all hidden parameters prior to upgrading.
To view existing hidden parameters execute the following command
while connected AS SYSDBA:
SELECT name,description from SYS.V$PARAMETER WHERE name
LIKE '\_%' ESCAPE '\'
Changes will need to be made in the init.ora or spfile.
**********************************************************************
Oracle recommends reviewing any defined events prior to upgrading.
To view existing non-default events execute the following commands
while connected AS SYSDBA:
Events:
SELECT (translate(value,chr(13)||chr(10),' ')) FROM sys.v$parameter2
WHERE UPPER(name) ='EVENT' AND isdefault='FALSE'
Trace Events:
SELECT (translate(value,chr(13)||chr(10),' ')) from sys.v$parameter2
WHERE UPPER(name) = '_TRACE_EVENTS' AND isdefault='FALSE'
