This section describes the steps to upgrade an existing Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) repository from release 11.1.1.10.1 to 11.1.1.10.2.
In order to retain the existing topology and security configuration in ODI while at the same time minimizing the impact on other tools that interact with ODI (that is, Oracle BI Applications Configuration Manager (Configuration Manager) and the Oracle BI Applications instance of Oracle WebLogic Server), the upgrade process requires that you export the existing or pre-upgrade configurations from the ODI Master Repository, drop the existing pre-upgrade ODI Work and Master Repositories, import the new upgrade ODI Work and Master Repositories into the same schema, then import the pre-upgrade ODI Repository configurations.
This effectively replaces all content (such as interfaces, packages, models, knowledge modules, load plans) while retaining the configuration definitions.
The process also allows you to retain any customizations performed by exporting the customizations from the pre-upgrade repository and importing them back in after the repository has been upgraded.
