C Platform Specific Pre-Upgrade Steps

This appendix describes the pre-upgrade steps for non-Linux and non-Windows platforms.

This appendix includes the following topics:

Loading New Schemas in Release 7 From Respective RCUs
Set Environment Variables for AIX

C.1 Loading New Schemas in Release 7 From Respective RCUs

The following schemas were added in Release 7 of Oracle Fusion Applications: IAU, TOPOLOGY_MANAGER, FUNCTIONAL_SETUP_MANAGER, and OSN.

The Oracle Fusion Applications RCU is available only on Windows and Linux platforms. For other platforms, such as Solaris Sparc, Solaris X64 and AIX, you must install and run the RCU from a Windows or Linux machine to load the new schemas.

Perform the steps in this section to prepare the RCU on Windows or Linux:

Copy or mount the Oracle Fusion Applications Release 7 Repository on Linux or Windows machine.
Locate the appropriate RCU software for your platform.
1. For IAU Schema loading:
  - For Linux, go to REPOSITORY_LOCATION/installers/apps_rcu/linux and locate the rcuHome_fusionapps_linux.zip file. Extract the contents of rcuHome_fusionapps_linux.zip to a folder on the Linux system.
  - For Windows, go to REPOSITORY_LOCATION/installers/apps_rcu/windows and locate the rcuHome_fusionapps_win.zip file. Extract the contents of rcuHome_fusionapps_win.zip to a folder on the Windows system.
  - Refer to these locations as IAU_RCU_HOME.
2. Topology Manager RCU software:
  - For Linux, the RCU is located at REPOSITORY_LOCATION/installers/tmrcu.
  - For Windows, the RCU is located at REPOSITORY_LOCATION\installers\tmrcu\windows\tmrcu.
  - Refer to these locations as TM_RCU_HOME.
3. The Functional Setup Manager RCU software:
  - For Linux, the RCU is located at REPOSITORY_LOCATION/installers/fsrcu.
  - For Windows, the RCU is located at REPOSITORY_LOCATION\installers\fsrcu\windows\fsrcu.
  - Refer to these locations as FS_RCU_HOME.
4. The OSN RCU software:
  - For Linux, go to REPOSITORY_LOCATION/installers/apps_rcu/linux to find the rcuHome_fusionapps_linux.zip file and extract its contents.
  - For Windows, go to REPOSITORY_LOCATION\installers\apps_rcu\windows to find the rcuHome_fusionapps_windows.zip file and extract its contents.
  - Refer to these locations as OSN_RCU_HOME.
Load the respective RCUs by running the following commands:
1. Run the following command from IAU_RCU_HOME to create the IAU schema:
```
IAU_RCU_HOME/bin/rcu -silent -createRepository -databaseType ORACLE -connectString db_server:db_port/db_sid -dbUser sys -dbRole sysdba -schemaPrefix FUSION -component FUSION_IAU
```
  You are prompted for the following values:
  - Sys password
  - FUSION_IAU password
  - FUSION_IAU_APPEND password
  - FUSION_IAU_VIEWER password
2. Run the following command from TM_RCU_HOME to create the Topology Manager component for the new schema:
```
TM_RCU_HOME/bin/rcu -silent -createRepository -databaseType ORACLE -connectString db_server:db_port/db_sid -dbUser sys -dbRole sysdba -component TOPOLOGY_MANAGER
```
  You are prompted for the following values:
  - Sys password
  - FUSION_SETUP password
  - Schema Name for FUSION as FUSION (not changeable)
  - Schema Name for FUSION_RUNTIME as FUSION_RUNTIME (not changeable)
  - RCU_MODE as UPGRADE (not changeable)
3. Run the following command from FS_RCU_HOME to create the Functional Setup Manager component for the new schema:
```
FS_RCU_HOME/bin/rcu -silent -createRepository -databaseType ORACLE -connectString db_server:db_port/db_sid -dbUser sys -dbRole  sysdba -component FUNCTIONAL_SETUP_MANAGER
```
  You are prompted for the following values:
  - Sys password
  - FUSION_SETUP password
  - Schema Name for FUSION as FUSION (not changeable)
  - Schema Name for FUSION_RUNTIME as FUSION_RUNTIME (not changeable)
  - RCU_MODE as UPGRADE (not changeable)
  - APPLTOP directory name (Note that this parameter is not used in the RCU. You can choose to provide a dummy value, such as /tmp/dummy.)
  - ADPATCH database defaults file directory name (Note that this parameter is not used in the RCU. You can choose to provide dummy value, such as /tmp/dummy.)
4. Run the following command from OSN_RCU_HOME to load the OSN RCU:
```
OSN_RCU_HOME/bin/rcu  -silent -createRepository -databaseType ORACLE -connectString db_server:db_port/db_sid -dbUser sys -dbRole  sysdba -schemaPrefix FUSION -component FUSION_SOCIAL -component FUSION_SOCIAL_VIEWS -component FUSION_SOCIAL_CEF 
```
  You are prompted for the following values:
  - Sys password
  - FUSION_SOCIAL password
  - FUSION_SOCIAL_VIEWS password
  - FUSION_SOCIAL_CEF password

C.2 Set Environment Variables for AIX

Set the SKIP_ROOTPRE environment variable before starting Upgrade Orchestrator on an AIX platform, as follows:

Set the SKIP_ROOTPRE environment variable:
```
export SKIP_ROOTPRE=TRUE
```
Set the CONFIG_JVM_ARGS environment variable:
```
export CONFIG_JVM_ARGS=-Xmx512m
```

To proceed with the upgrade, perform the steps in Chapter 4, "Upgrading to Oracle Fusion Applications Release 7".
