Silent Upgrade XML Script Reference

Before using the WebLogic Upgrade Wizard in silent mode, you have the option of creating an XML script that defines your upgrade requirements, and passing that script to the wizard on the command line.

When run in silent mode, the Upgrade Wizard searches the domain's root directory for an XML script with a name that indicates the type of upgrade task to be performed, as listed in Table D-1. If the wizard does not locate an XML script, it uses the default system values, as defined in Table D-2.

The wizard looks for an XML script named ...

Security Provider

Node Manager

Domain

Sample: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13179_01/common/docs91/upgrade/scripts/weblogic-upgrade-domain-responses.xml


 

To create an XML script for a silent mode upgrade:

  1. In a supported browser, click on one of the sample XML scripts provided in Table D-1, based on the type of upgrade task you wish to perform.
  2. Save the sample script, as an XML file of the same name, in the root directory of the domain that you want to upgrade.
  3. In the XML script that you saved to your system, edit the values for the keywords shown in Table D-2 to match your requirements. If you do not specify a value for a keyword, the wizard uses the default value.
  4. Note: When editing the file, please note the following:

Security Providers

INPUT_DIRECTORY

Path of the directory that contains the security provider JARs to be upgraded.

By default, security providers are located in WL_HOME\server\lib\mbeantypes, where WL_HOME specifies the root directory of the pre-9.0 installation.

Path of directory from which the Upgrade Wizard is run, such as:

c:\bea\weblogic81\server\lib\mbeantypes

OUTPUT_DIRECTORY

Path of the directory in which you want to save the new security provider JAR files.

WL_HOME\server\lib\mbeantypes, where WL_HOME specifies the root directory of the WebLogic Server 9.1 installation.

Node Manager

NODE_MANAGER_HOME

Path of the directory of Node Manager to be upgraded by navigating the local directory hierarchy.

By default, the Node Manager home directory is located in WL_HOME\common\nodemanager, where WL_HOME specifies the root directory of the pre-9.1 installation.

Directory from which the Upgrade Wizard is run. For example: c:\bea\weblogic81\common\nodemanager

Domains

WEBLOGIC_VERSION

Version of WebLogic Server.

Version of WebLogic Server identified in the configuration file (config.xml). For example, 8.1.4.0.

If the software version number is not specified in the domain configuration file, the wizard displays the version number as 8.1.0.0, by default. In this case, there is no impact if the default value does not match the actual version number of the pre-9.1 domain.

DOMAIN_DIR

Path of the directory that contains the WebLogic domain to be upgraded.

Directory from which the Upgrade Wizard is run, such as: c:\bea\user_projects\domains\mydomain

Domains (Continued)

ADMIN_SERVER_NAME

Name of the Administration Server.

Name of the Administration Server specified in the configuration file (config.xml), such as: myserver

This keyword is required to be set for WebLogic Server 6.1 release only, as the Administration Server name was not persisted to the configuration file.

NODE_MANAGER_USERNAME

Username for Node Manager.

weblogic

NODE_MANAGER_PASSWORD

Password for Node Manager.

weblogic

NODE_MANAGER_PASSWORD

Confirmation password for Node Manager.

weblogic

OPTIONAL_ACTION_1

One or more of the following options:

DOMAIN_DIRECTORY_BACKUP
_SELECTED_VALUE
—If this option is selected, the wizard backs up the original domain directory and stores it in a zip file.

DOMAIN_DIRECTORY_BACKUP
_LOG_FILES_INCLUDED_SELECTED_VALUE
—If this option is selected, log files are included in the backup zip file. The number and size of log files can be large, so you may want to exclude them from the backup file by disabling this option. By default, log files are included in the backup file.

SKIP_BACKWARDS_COMPATIB
ILITY_FLAGS_SELECTED_VALUE
—Some behavior supported in pre-9.0 releases of WebLogic Server has been changed as of 9.0 to comply with J2EE 1.4. By default, the wizard sets flags to enable the previous behavior in the new domain. If you select this option, these flags or backward compatibility are not set.

DOMAIN_DIRECTORY_
BACKUP_SELECTED_VALUE, DOMAIN_DIRECTORY_
BACKUP_LOG_FILES_INCLUDED_SELECTED_VALUE

BACKUP_DIR

Path of the directory in which you want to save the backup zip file.

Directory from which the Upgrade Wizard is run, such as: c:\bea\user_projects\domains\mydomain

BACKUP_FILE_NAME

Name of the backup zip file.
