Upgrading to 7.6.1 from 7.5.x

This topic describes how to upgrade to the 7.6.1 version of Oracle Endeca Server.

This upgrade procedure assumes that you have both WebLogic 10.3.6 and Oracle ADF (Application Development Framework) Runtime package 11.1.1.6 installed, as well as Endeca Server 7.5.x. The upgrade procedure will not remove the WebLogic and ADF software, but will remove the WebLogic domain you created for the 7.5.x Endeca Server. Because you will manually install Endeca Server 7.6.1, this procedure does not use the 7.6.1 orchestration script. Please keep in mind that 7.5.x Endeca data domains cannot run under Endeca Server 7.6.1.

Note: If you are upgrading an Endeca Server cluster, follow the steps for uninstalling the Endeca Server instances on each machine, remove the Endeca Server WebLogic domain, and then remove the Endeca Server data domains.

To upgrade to Oracle Endeca Server 7.6.1 from Oracle Endeca Server 7.5.x:

  1. Uninstall Endeca Server version 7.5.x.
    Use the uninstall instructions from the Oracle Endeca Server Installation Guide (version 7.5.x.).
  2. Manually remove the WebLogic domain for Endeca Server.
    Use the uninstall instructions from the Oracle Endeca Server Installation Guide (version 7.5.x.).
  3. Install Oracle Endeca Server 7.6.1. As part of the installation, make sure you create a new WebLogic domain for the 7.6.1 version of Endeca Server.
    Use the instructions from the chapter titled "Manually Installing Endeca Server on a Single Machine", in the Oracle Endeca Server Installation Guide (version 7.6.x.). If you are installing in a cluster, use the "Installing and Deploying an Endeca Server Cluster", in the Oracle Endeca Server Installation Guide (version 7.6.x).
    After you are finished, you should have a running Oracle Endeca Server.
  4. Install the ADF Interim Patch for Bug 17509664.
    Use the instructions from the chapter titled "Applying the ADF patch", in the Oracle Endeca Server Installation Guide (version 7.6.x.).

To verify that the upgrade was successful, create an Endeca data domain (with no source data loaded).
