DB refresh from 11.204 to 11.201

Hi,

I am doing a DB refresh from PROD to CLONE system. Now my PROD DB version is 11.204 and CLONE DB is at 11.201 only.

I have done the Restore and Recovery of the DB without issue, but while trying to open the database i am getting the below error:

SQL> alter database open resetlogs;

alter database open resetlogs

*

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-01092: ORACLE instance terminated. Disconnection forced

ORA-00704: bootstrap process failure

ORA-39700: database must be opened with UPGRADE option

Process ID: 3260

Session ID: 101 Serial number: 3

So when Check forums I came across the below solution:

sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL> startup upgrade;

SQL> @/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_home1/rdbms/admin/catupgrd.sql;

SQL> shutdown immediate;

SQL> startup;

SQL> @/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_home1/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql

But this was given for situation where the Target DB is in higher level compared to the Source DB. But in my current situation, Target DB is at a lower level than the source system.

So could someone let me know that running the Upgrade scripts here will fix this issue, or I will have to try Downgrade scripts here instead?

Thanks
