ALERT: Migrating Your Enterprise and Web Applications from Previous Releases of WebLogic Portal 4.0
Before you install WebLogic Portal 4.0 with Service Pack 3, note that several resource files (.jar, .jsp, .class files) have been added or modified for Enterprise and Web applications from previous versions of WebLogic Portal 4.0 to WebLogic Portal with Service Pack 3. Failure to complete the migration steps listed in this section will prevent your Enterprise or Web applications from running with Service Pack 3. It is imperative that you complete the following migration steps:
For example, if you needed to back up the enterprise application called portal, you would need to back up all resource files, directories, and Web applications under the following path:
PORTAL_HOME/applications/portal
All Web applications like stockportal, reside under the Enterprise application, along with all their resource files, as shown in the following path:
PORTAL_HOME/applications/portal/stockportal

Full Installation of the Server on Windows
For more information on the server installation process, see The Installation Procedure on Windows.
Upgrade Installation of the Server on Windows
WebLogic Portal 4.0 Service Pack 3 includes modifications to default Webflow namespace files. Because the upgrade installer does not replace these modified Webflow namespaces in the server database, you must re-synchronize your E-Business Control Center data to put the modified Webflow namespaces in the server database after you install Service Pack 3 of the server and the E-Business Control Center.
Warning: Because the upgrade installation of Service Pack 3 involves re-synchronization of data from the E-Business Control Center to the server, it is important to fully test your applications prior to putting them back into production.
Note: When you run the upgrade installation, the installer automatically backs up files that it replaces in the following directory:
PORTAL_HOME\servicepacks\sp3\backup

Because the upgrade installer does not replace these modified Webflow namespaces in the server database, you must re-synchronize your E-Business Control Center data to put the modified Webflow namespaces in the server database after you install Service Pack 3 of the server and the E-Business Control Center.
Warning: Because the upgrade installation of Service Pack 3 involves re-synchronization of data from the E-Business Control Center to the server, it is important to fully test your applications prior to putting them back into production.
Note: When you run the upgrade installation, the installer automatically backs up files that it replaces in the following directory:
PORTAL_HOME/servicepacks/sp3/backup
You can also run Service Pack 3 upgrade installation on Solaris in console mode. For more information on the server installation process, see Console Version of the Installer.

The following installation instructions tell you which Service Pack 3 installers to download and where to get them.
Warning: Before you install any part of Service Pack 3, see ALERT: Migrating Your Enterprise and Web Applications from Previous Releases of WebLogic Portal 4.0.
If you are migrating from an earlier version of the E-Business Control Center and WebLogic Portal 4.0, see one of the following sections before proceeding:
If you are not migrating from a previous version, see "Installing Service Pack 3" on page 3 - 12.
Migrating From WebLogic Portal 4.0 with a Previous WebLogic Portal Service Pack
The installation for WebLogic Portal 4.0 with Service Pack 3 will replace your Service Pack 1 webflow files and delete any customizations that you've made to those files.
See Table 3-1 for a list of the webflow files replaced during Service Pack 3 installation.
To save your customizations to Service Pack 1:
Migrating From WebLogic Portal 4.0 GA to Service Pack 3
If you installed the upgrade version of Service Pack 3 of the WebLogic Portal server (as opposed to the full installer). The upgrade installers are described in Installing Service Pack 3 of the WebLogic Portal 4.0 Server.
Figure 3-1 Synchronization settings
Warning: When you synchronize, make sure that all necessary application data files are loaded in the E-Business Control Center, especially if you have stored your data files in a content management or version control system. If any necessary files are not loaded in the E-Business Control Center, the synchronization process will treat them as deleted files and remove them from the server.
To see which data files need to be loaded in the E-Business Control Center, look in the PORTAL_HOME\applications\<application_name>-project folder on the server to see the currently synchronized application files.
Table 3-1 shows the Webflow namespace files that are replaced by the Service Pack 3 installation directly from the original WebLogic Portal 4.0 GA. These files appear in the E-Business Control Center Explorer window for each given application.
Note: This table does not apply to migration from Service Pack 1 to Service Pack 3.
The Webflow namespace files that were replaced by the E-Business Control Center Service Pack 3 installer are moved into the following backup folders on the client systems:
EBCC_HOME\servicepacks\sp3\backup\applications\portal\
application-sync\webapps\stockportal
EBCC_HOME\servicepacks\sp3\backup\applications\wlcsApp\
application-sync\webapps\tools
EBCC_HOME\servicepacks\sp3\backup\applications\wlcsApp\
application-sync\webapps\wlcs
Reapplying Modifications to Webflow Namespace Files That Were Replaced
If you have made modifications to any of the default Webflow namespaces that were replaced by the upgrade installation, we recommend reapplying those modifications to the newly installed webflow namespace files using the following method:
