Tutorial: Upgrading the WLI 9.2 Application Source

This section contains information on how to upgrade the WLI 9.2 application source and view it in the Oracle WebLogic Integration 10g Release 3 (10.3) environment. This tutorial does not include validation of all the aspects of the sample application. Oracle Weblogic Integration supports binary compatibility upgrade from WLI 9.2 to Oracle WebLogic Integration 10g Release 3 (10.3). For more information, see Compatibility Statement for Oracle WebLogic Server.

Before you upgrade the WLI 9.2 application source, ensure that you do the following:

In Oracle Workshop for WebLogic, create a WLI 9.2 runtime in the Oracle WebLogic Integration 10g Release 3 (10.3) environment.

To create a new runtime, select File > New > Other > Server > Server > Next. Select Oracle WebLogic Server v 10.3 and click Next. Use the wizard to define the paths to WebLogic Home and Domain home for the new WLI 9.2 runtime.

Close the version 9.2 Workshop perspective if it is open before you close the project in WLI 9.2. In WLI 9.2, right click on the Workshop perspective and click Close. In Oracle WebLogic Integration 10g Release 3 (10.3), the default perspective is the J2EE perspective.
Ensure that all projects in your workspace are open. You can close a project in the IDE and it still remains in the workspace. Closed projects might create errors when you open the workspace in Oracle WebLogic Integration 10g Release 3 (10.3).

To import the WLI 9.2 project, select File > Import > General > Existing Projects into Workspace. Specify the path to the project or archived project. Workshop opens the project and first identifies and lists the components of the project that require upgrade as shown in Figure 3-1. Select Finish to upgrade the projects to Oracle WebLogic Integration 10g Release 3 (10.3).

Once the project is modified, it appears in the Project Explorer pane. Workshop builds the workspace for the application in the IDE. A log of the process is displayed in the Problems pane at the bottom of the dialog box containing all the errors encountered during the application upgrade to Oracle WebLogic Integration 10g Release 3 (10.3). You must resolve all the errors before you can deploy and publish the project.

In the Package Explorer pane:

Navigate through the directory structure to view the sampleAppWeb > src > requestquote > RequestQuote.java file.
Right click on the file and select Run As > Run on Server.
Select WebLogic Server 10.3 from the list of existing servers and click Finish in the Run on Server window.

After successfully deploying and publishing the Application, a browser pane is opened in the IDE, displaying the Overview tab of the RequestQuote.jpd process.
Click the Test Form tab in the browser pane.
Locate the QuoteRequest.xml file that contains the test values required to validate the upgraded Application. The file is under the WebContent folder in the Package Explorer pane. Right click the QuoteRequest.xml file and select Open With > Text Editor to display its contents in the IDE browser.
Copy all the contents of the source file and paste the contents into the xml requestXML field of the Test Form tab.
Click quoteRequest to start the process. On successful completion of the process, the Test Form tab is refreshed, and the instance is reported as completed.

You have now successfully imported, published, and validated an WLI 9.2 application in the Oracle WebLogic Integration 10g Release 3 (10.3) workspace.
