I am recently working on a Fusion Middleware 11g Upgrade Project and in the up coming posts I will share my experience on the same.
Here I will highlight some of the tasks
Current System
- Oracle Application Server 10.1.2
- Discoverer 10.1.2.0.2
- Portal 10.1.4.2.0
- Oracle Internet Directory 10.1.2.3.0
- SSO 10.1.2.3.0
Proposed System
- Weblogic 11g
- Discoverer 11.1.1.4.0
- Portal 11.1.1.4.0
- Oracle Internet Directory 11.1.1.4.0
- Oracle Access Manager 11.1.1.3.0 ( later moved to Oracle Access Manager 11.1.1.5.0 because of BUGs)
Moving higher version means more complex the environment as Fusion Middleware 11g has a complete new architecture.
I did the upgrade on the development system and the upgrade process was long. There were a lot of bugs and it took a lot of time to resolve them with Oracle Support. But overall the upgrade is a success. The documented procedures and work around would help me to do the upgrade on Test and Production in a short time frame.
Here are the list of tasks
Part 1. Converting the existing 10g Infrastructure Database to AL32UTF8 Character Set
Part 2. Portal Schema Validation Pre-Requisite Check
Part 3. Discoverer 11g Schema creation with RCU
Part 4. Setting up JDK
Part 5. WebLogic Setup for Portal and Discoverer Middletire
Part 6. Installing Portal and Discoverer Middletire
Part 7. Running Middletire Configuration Assistance
Part 8. Middletire Upgrade Assistance
Part 9. Middletire Schema Upgrade Assistance
Part 10. Middletire 11.1.1.4.0 PatchSet Installation
Part 11. IDM Setup
List of Issues
FMW 11g Discoverer Plus Error Loading Applet
FMW 11g Post Install using the Verify Option in Upgrade Assistance gives failure message for Discoverer
FMW 11g Portal and Discoverer Post Upgrade verification failed with ORA-7445
FMW 11g Discoverer Upgade Failed while updating ptm5_instance
FMW 11g Discoverer Version 11.1.1.4.0 Check
Further steps to be updated
