Upgrading from Oracle WebCenter Collaboration 10.3 to Oracle WebCenter Collaboration 10.3.0.1

This section describes how to upgrade from Oracle WebCenter Collaboration 10.3 to Oracle WebCenter Collaboration 10.3.0.1.

To upgrade from Oracle WebCenter Collaboration 10.3 to Oracle WebCenter Collaboration 10.3.0.1:

1. Stop Collaboration.

2. Stop the Search Server, Automation Service, and Document Repository Service.

3. Back up the portal database, Oracle WebCenter Collaboration database, and Document Repository.

4. Clear the Embedded Servlet Engine's work directory.

   By default, this directory is located at:

   • Windows: install_dir\common\container\tomcat\version\work \collaboration

   • UNIX/Linux: install_dir/common/container/tomcat/version/work /collaboration

5. Upgrade the Oracle WebCenter Collaboration components. For details on launching the installer and completing its screens, see Running the Installer During Upgrade.

6. (Optional) Deploy Oracle WebCenter Collaboration on WebLogic Server. By default, Oracle WebCenter Collaboration is deployed on the Embedded Servlet Engine. You only need to perform this step if you want to deploy Oracle WebCenter Collaboration on WebLogic Server instead of the Embedded Servlet Engine. For details, see Chapter 3, "Deploying Oracle WebCenter Collaboration on Oracle WebLogic Server."

7. Import the collaboration.pte file, which is located in the following location on the Oracle WebCenter Collaboration host machine:

   • UNIX/Linux: install_dir/ptcollab/10.3.0/serverpackages/

   • Windows: install_dir\ptcollab\10.3.0\serverpackages\

   For details, see Importing the Oracle WebCenter Collaboration Migration Package.

8. Start Oracle WebCenter Collaboration and verify operation.

   1. Verify that the following Oracle WebCenter Interaction services are started: Search Server, API Service, Automation Service, Document Repository Service, LDAP Directory Service, and Notification Service.

   2. Start the Search Service used by Oracle WebCenter Collaboration.

   3. Start Oracle WebCenter Collaboration. If Oracle WebCenter Collaboration is deployed on WebLogic Server, start the domain on which Oracle WebCenter Collaboration is deployed.

   4. To verify that Oracle WebCenter Collaboration is functioning correctly, access and analyze the Collaboration Diagnostics page: http://mycollabserver:mycollabport/collab/admin/diagnostic
