13 Upgrading Oracle Beehive

This chapter describes how to upgrade the following products to version 2.0:

Note:

Upgrade Oracle Beehive and any other Oracle Beehive application tiers before upgrading any other Oracle Beehive products.

To upgrade an Oracle Beehive Release 1 (1.5.x) deployment to Release 2 (2.0), upgrade the following Oracle Beehive products in the indicated order:

  1. Oracle Beehive Release 1 (1.5.x) application tiers to Release 2 (2.0).

    You must shut down all Oracle Beehive Release 1 (1.5.x) application tiers before upgrading them.

    Ensure that the upgrade process has started your newly upgraded Oracle Beehive application tiers before proceeding to upgrade other Oracle Beehive products.

    Refer to "Upgrading Multiple Oracle Beehive Application Tiers" if you are upgrading more than one Oracle Beehive application tier.

  2. Any Oracle Beehive Provisioning Application or Oracle Collaboration Coexistence Gateway (Microsoft Windows only) Release 1 (1.5.x) instances to Release 2 (2.0).

  3. Any Oracle Beehive Release 1 (1.5.x) DMZ instances to Release 2 (2.0).

    You must shut down all Oracle Beehive Release 1 (1.5.x) DMZ instances before upgrading them.

    Ensure that the upgrade process has started your newly upgraded Oracle Beehive DMZ instances before proceeding to upgrade other Oracle Beehive products.

  4. Any Oracle Beekeeper Release 1 (1.5.x) instances to Release 2 (2.0).

  1. Start the Oracle Beehive Install Wizard.

  2. In the Select Product Type screen, select the Oracle Beehive product you want to upgrade.

  3. After the Select Installation Type screen, the Oracle Beehive Installation Wizard will automatically detect if you have any existing Oracle Beehive products on the computer from which you started the Oracle Beehive Install Wizard.

    If the Install Wizard detects any existing Oracle Beehive products that can be upgraded, you will see the screen Upgrade Existing Home. Depending on the product you want to upgrade, refer to one of the following sections:

Note:

In Microsoft Windows, ensure the following before proceeding with upgrading Oracle Beehive:
  • Ensure that there is only one window session (desktop) is present. Close all other window sessions. Many window sessions can be opened with Windows Remote Desktop or Virtual Network Computing (VNC) applications.

  • Ensure that you have closed all Windows Explorer windows, unnecessary applications, and command prompts. These may interfere with the upgrade process, especially if Windows Explorer or a command prompt is pointing to the directory <Oracle home>\j2ee.

Oracle Beehive Upgrade Process Sequence of Screens

If the Oracle Beehive Wizard detects any existing Oracle Beehive Release 1 (1.5.x) instances on the computer from which you started the wizard, the following screens will appear:

Note:

You must shut down all Oracle Beehive Release 1 (1.5.x) application tiers before upgrading them.

Ensure that the upgrade process has started your newly upgraded Oracle Beehive application tiers before proceeding to upgrade other Oracle Beehive products.

Refer to "Upgrading Multiple Oracle Beehive Application Tiers" if you are upgrading more than one Oracle Beehive application tier.

Upgrade Existing Home

Specify if you want to upgrade the product you selected in Select Product Type.

If the installer detected any existing Oracle Beehive Release 1 (1.5.x) instances, specify Yes to upgrade one of those instances to Oracle Beehive Release 2 (2.0).

If you specify No, the Install Wizard will proceed to perform a standard installation of Oracle Beehive Release 2 (2.0).

Specify Home Location to Upgrade

Select from the drop down box the complete path of the Oracle Beehive instance you want to upgrade.

The drop down box will only contain Oracle Beehive home paths with the following characteristics:

  • Contains an instance of Oracle Beehive Release 1 (1.5.x) or Oracle Beehive Integration for Zimbra version 1.5.x

  • Is registered in the central Oracle Universal Installer inventory of the computer from which you started the Install Wizard.

Running Instances

Shut down all instances listed in the table. Once you have shut the instances down, click the Rescan button to verify that all managed instances are down.

You must manually verify that all unmanaged instances (listed in red) are shut down. Unmanaged instances include Oracle Beekeeper instances and Oracle Beehive DMZ instances. Currently, Oracle Beehive cannot determine whether an unmanaged instance has been fully shut down (regardless of whether the instance is on the same machine as the pending upgrade or not). Once you have shut down all unmanaged instances, select Unmanaged Instances Verified to continue the upgrade.

Configure Security Updates

Specify your My Oracle Support account details so that Oracle can notify you of any critical security updates.

Periodically, Security Updates automatically gathers configuration information of your installed Oracle products and uploads it to Oracle's support systems. Consequently, you may access this information through your My Oracle Support account and Oracle can contact you if there are any security updates.

Note:

The information collected by Security Updates is limited to configuration information. The data collected does not include personally identifiable information (with the exception of a local contact name in case of transmission problems). You may still use all licensed Oracle functionality if you decline to enable Security Updates.

You may choose not to be notified for any critical security updates. Simply leave all fields in the Configure Security Updates screen blank and click Next to continue.

Email

Specify your My Oracle Support e-mail address. If you do not have a My Oracle Support account, you may specify a personal e-mail address.

I wish to receive security updates via My Oracle Support

Select this check box if you want to receive security updates through My Oracle Support. Ensure that the e-mail address you entered in Email and the password you entered in My Oracle Support Password corresponds to your My Oracle Support user name and password, respectively.

If you specified a personal e-mail address in Email, then ensure that this check box is not selected.

My Oracle Support Password

Specify your My Oracle Support password.

Specify proxy server information

If you click Next and the Install Wizard cannot establish a direct connection to an outside network to send your My Oracle Support information, the Specify proxy server information window appears. Enter the following information:

  • Proxy Server: The host name of your proxy server

  • Proxy Port: The port number of your proxy server

  • Proxy Username: The user name required to authenticate your proxy server, if required

  • Proxy Password: The password required to authenticate your proxy server, if required

  • I want to remain uninformed of critical issues in my configuration: Selecting this check box disables Security Updates. If you select this check box, you do not need to specify any proxy details.

Database Information for Upgrade

Specify the password of the SYS schema for the database with the specified service name.

Upgrade Summary

The Upgrade Summary screen presents a summary of the options you have specified so far:

    Note:

    The space requirements shown on this screen do not include the space required in the target database.

    The space requirements shown on this screen also might differ slightly from the actual space the component occupies on the installation disk. This is because of the differences in the disk configurations. For example, the space required on one hard drive might differ from the space required on another hard drive that uses different block size or that is managed by a different file system.

  • Inventory Location: The location of the oraInventory directory where all the installation information about your product will be stored.

    • Site Key: The masked site key that you specified. This is only requested if you are upgrading your first Oracle Beehive application tier.
