If you are upgrading from Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4) and you have installed and configured any 10g (9.0.4) middle tier Oracle homes, then you might have to upgrade the middle tiers to Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) before you proceed with OracleAS Identity Management upgrade.
For more information, see the following sections of this chapter:
Task 1: Determine Whether or Not to Upgrade Your 10g (9.0.4) Middle Tiers
Task 2: Locate Instructions for Upgrading Middle Tiers to 10g Release 2 (10.1.2)
|
Note: If you are using 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) middle tiers, you can skip this chapter and go directly to Chapter 6, "Upgrading the Database That Hosts the OracleAS Metadata Repository". |
You must upgrade your 10g (9.0.4) middle tiers if all of the following statements are true:
You have installed any 10g (9.0.4) middle tiers using the Portal and Wireless, Business Intelligence and Forms, or Forms and Reports Services installation types.
Those middle tiers use the same OracleAS Metadata Repository database as the OracleAS Identity Management Oracle home you are about to upgrade.
If both of the previous statements apply, then the middle tier upgrade is necessary because as part of the 10g (10.1.4.0.1) upgrade, you upgrade the 10g (9.0.4) OracleAS Metadata Repository component schemas to 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.2). Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4) middle tiers are not compatible with 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) component schemas.
As a result, all middle tiers that use the Oracle Identity Management 10g (10.1.4.0.1) OracleAS Metadata Repository, must be upgraded to 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) before you run the Metadata Repository Upgrade Assistant (MRUA).
Figure 5-1 shows a typical scenario where the 10g (9.0.4) middle tiers use the same OracleAS Metadata Repository as Oracle Identity Management. In this case, you must upgrade your 10g (9.0.4) middle tiers before you run MRUA on the OracleAS Metadata Repository.
Figure 5-2 shows the scenario where the 10g (9.0.4) middle tiers use their own OracleAS Metadata Repository. In this scenario, the 10g (9.0.4) middle tiers are not affected by the 10g (10.1.4.0.1) upgrade. In this case, you do not need to upgrade the 10g (9.0.4) middle tiers before running MRUA on the OracleAS Metadata Repository that hosts the Oracle Identity Management schemas.

To upgrade your 10g (9.0.4) middle tiers to 10g Release 2 (10.1.2):
Obtain the appropriate licenses and download the Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) software from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN):
