2 Compatibility With Previous Oracle Fusion Middleware Products

There are cases where you need to run your Oracle Identity and Access Management 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.1) software with previous versions of Oracle Fusion Middleware products.

The following sections provide some specific compatibility issues and considerations between Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g and Oracle Application Server 10g:

2.1 Oracle Identity and Access Management 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.1) Compatibility with Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) Products

If you plan to upgrade your Oracle Identity and Access Management produts to 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.1), be sure to verify that your existing Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 products are certified to work with 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.1).

For more information, see Section 1.4.3, "Using Oracle Certification Matrices".

2.2 Oracle Identity and Access Management 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.1) Compatibility with Pre-11g Products

As described in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrade and Migration Guide for Oracle Identity and Access Management, you can upgrade from selected pre-11g Identity Management products to specific Oracle Identity and Access Management 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.1) products. This upgrade process is referred to as a migration from one release to another.

For more information, see "Migration and Coexistence Starting Points" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrade and Migration Guide for Oracle Identity and Access Management:

When you migrate from these selected pre-11g products, you might have to use a phased approach, where not all the products are upgraded at the same time. In these scenarios, you might have to run both the existing pre-11g products with some newly upgraded 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.1) products.

In most cases, Oracle supports these interim co-existence scenarios, but some configuration and post-migration steps are required to ensure the two versions are compatible and can run in the same environment.

Table 2-1 lists the pre-11g starting points for migrating to Oracle Identity and Access Management 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.1). For each starting point, the table identifies where you can find the associated information about configuring your environment so these products can continue to coexist in the same environment.
