B Patch Set Assistant Screens

This appendix contains screenshots and descriptions for the Patch Set Assistant screens.

This appendix includes the following topics:

B.1 Welcome

Description of the illustration ''pa.gif''

The Welcome screen is displayed each time you start the installer.

You can click View Log at any time during the schema upgrade process to view the log file. A separate window (Log File Viewer) is displayed that contains the messages being written to the log file. The top of the Log File Viewer contains the location and name of the log file. You can click Refresh to see the most recent messages being logged.

B.2 Select Component

Description of two.gif follows
Description of the illustration ''two.gif''

Use this screen to select the component schema you want to update.

The Patch Set Installer lists all components that are found in the Middleware home. For example, if you started the Patch Set Installer from the MW_HOME/oracle_common/bin/psa directory (on UNIX operating systems) or c:\Products\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1\bin directory (on Windows operating systems), the Patch Set Installer will list all components found in /home/Oracle/Middleware directory (on UNIX operating systems) or c:\Products\Oracle\Middleware directory (on Windows operating systems).

You can only use Patch Set Assistant to update one top-level component at a time. In the figure above, notice that Oracle SOA is selected, which means Patch Set Assistant would update the SOAINFRA schema as well as the MDS schema, upon which the SOAINFRA schema is dependent. However, the top-level "Oracle Metadata Services" box is not selected even though that schema is going to be updated.

If you wanted to update either of the other two top-level schema found in this Middleware home (in this case, "Oracle Audit Services" or "Oracle Platform Security Services") you would have to restart the Patch Set Assistant and select those components separately.

Note:

If you are upgrading from Release 11.1.1.2.0 or 11.1.1.3.0, the prefix_ACTIVITIES schema will not be available in your environment as this schema was not introduced until Release 11.1.1.4.0. Make sure you de-select this schema from the WebCenter Portal component; otherwise the Patch Set Assistant will ask for credentials for this schema.

B.3 Prerequisites

Use this screen to verify that you have satisfied the database prerequisites before you continue. You must check all the boxes acknowledging that all prerequisites for upgrade have been met, or else you will be unable to continue to the next screen. For webcenter content, after the prerequisites screen, a new screen called Content server directory is also present. Specify the domain directory path , where the content server is installed.

Select Database backup completed to verify that you have backed up your database as described in Section 4.3.1, "Back Up Your Database and Database Schemas".

Select Database version is certified by Oracle for Fusion Middleware upgrade to verify that you have read the System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11gR1 document on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page, and that your database is certified for use with Oracle Fusion Middleware.

B.4 Content Server Directory

Use this screen to specify database connection credentials and schema information for upgrade. This screen appears once for each component schema that needs to be updated; each time after the first time the screen will have all the database credential values filled in for you. If you have schemas on different databases then you will need to alter your database connection information accordingly.
