Currently upgrading 11.2 to 19.3 database using dbua silent.
Run preupgrade.jar and no issues detected.
Run preupgrade_fixups.sql
Run dbua -silent error resulted with [FATAL] [DBT-20061]
Per Doc ID 2246770.1, ignore the error which may be hazardous.
Actually, I have already figured our the root cause; however, the method I used may not always be available for all environments.
Will post solution in a week.
HINT: probable cause is in the output which did not occur for first run.

The fixup scripts have been run and resolved what they can. However, there are still issues originally identified by the preupgrade that have not been remedied and are still present in the database. Depending on the severity of the specific issue, and the nature of the issue itself, that could mean that your database is not ready for upgrade. To resolve the outstanding issues, start by reviewing the preupgrade_fixups.sql and searching it for the name of the failed CHECK NAME or Preupgrade Action Number listed above. There you will find the original corresponding diagnostic message from the preupgrade which explains in more detail what still needs to be done.
