7 Upgrading WebCenter in a Clustered Topology

Use this process to upgrade a clustered WebCenter topology. If you are upgrading a single node topology, see the other sections of this guide.

To upgrade a WebCenter cluster topology, where your domain has servers running on more than one machine, you will perform the entire upgrade process on the first node (Node 1) and then pack and unpack the domain on the other node(s) as described below.

To upgrade a clustered topology:

  1. Perform a complete upgrade on Node 1. Upgrading an Oracle WebCenter Domain to 12c (12.2.1.1)
    1. Perform all post-upgrade configuration tasks. Performing Post-Upgrade Configuration Tasks
    2. Verify that the upgrade was successful. Verifying the New Applications Work as Expected
  2. Pack the Administration Server: 
    cd ORACLE_HOME/common/bin
./pack.sh -managed=true -domain=DOMAIN_HOME -template=wcdomaintemplate.jar -template_name=wc_domain_template
  3. Copy wcdomaintemplate.jar to the ORACLE_HOME/common/bin on the other machines.
  4. Remove or move the old domain directories (DOMAIN_HOME and APPLICATION_HOME) on the other machines.
  5. Unpack the domain on each of the other machines: 
    cd ORACLE_HOME/common/bin
./unpack.sh -domain=DOMAIN_HOME -template=wcdomaintemplate.jar -overwrite_domain=true
