This chapter provides an overview of the automated upgrade process for Oracle Identity and Access Management 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.3.0).
This chapter includes the following sections:
Section 2.2, "Deployment Topologies Supported for Automated Upgrade"
Section 2.4, "Supported Starting Points for Automated Upgrade"
The Oracle Identity and Access Management 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.2.0) environments deployed using the Life Cycle Management (LCM) Tool can be upgraded to Oracle Identity and Access Management 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.3.0) using the automated upgrade process.
Note:
For information about the Life Cycle Management (LCM) tool used for deploying Oracle Identity and Access Management 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.2.0), see Oracle Fusion Middleware Deployment Guide for Oracle Identity and Access Management in the for 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.2.0).The automated upgrade process involves the following high level tasks:
Performing the pre-validation checks using preValidate.pl script
Upgrading binaries and configurations using idmUpgrade.pl script
Performing post-validation checks using postValidate.pl script
Note:
The automated upgrade procedure cannot be used for upgrading the Oracle Identity and Access Management environment that is installed and configured manually using the Oracle Identity and Access Management Oracle Universal Installer and Fusion Middleware Configuration tool.For information about upgrading manually configured Oracle Identity and Access Management environments, see Chapter 1, "Introduction to Oracle Identity and Access Management Upgrade".
The following topologies are supported for upgrading using the automated upgrade tool:
Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) Only Topology
This topology contains an OIMHOST that hosts Oracle Identity Manager and Oracle HTTP Server (OHS).
Oracle Access Manager (OAM) Suite Only Topology
This topology contains an OAMHOST that hosts Oracle Access Manager and Oracle HTTP Server. This topology can also contain Oracle Adaptive Access Manager if you had extended Oracle Access Manager domain to include Oracle Adaptive Access Manager during 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.2.0) deployment.
OIM-OAM Integrated with Oracle Unified Directory (OUD) Topology
This topology contains IDMHOST that hosts Oracle Identity Manager, Oracle Access Manager, Oracle Unified Directory, and Oracle HTTP Server.
Isolated upgrade for OIM-OAM Integrated with Oracle Unified Directory (OUD) Topology
For more information about isolated upgrade, see Section 2.3, "Isolated Upgrade Overview".
Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) Only Topology
This topology contains an OIMHOST1 and OIMHOST2 that host Oracle Identity Manager, and WEBHOST1 and WEBHOST2 that host Oracle HTTP Server (OHS).
Oracle Access Manager (OAM) Suite Only Topology
This topology contains an OAMHOST1 and OAMHOST2 that host Oracle Access Manager, and WEBHOST1 and WEBHOST2 that host Oracle HTTP Server (OHS).
OIM-OAM Integrated with Oracle Unified Directory (OUD) Topology
This topology contains OIMHOST1 and OIMHOST2 that host Oracle Identity Manager, OAMHOST1 and OAMHOST2 that host Oracle Access Manager, LDAPHOST1 and LDAPHOST2 that host Oracle Unified Directory, and WEBHOST1 and WEBHOST2 that host Oracle HTTP Server.
Note:
The following use cases are supported in Oracle Identity and Access Management 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.3.0) Bundle Patch 2:Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) Only Highly Available (HA) Topology
This is a topology with OIMHOST1 and OIMHOST2 hosting Oracle Identity Manager, and WEBHOST1 and WEBHOST2 hosting Oracle HTTP Server.
Oracle Access Manager (OAM) Suite Only Highly Available (HA) Topology
This is a topology with OAMHOST1 and OAMHOST2 hosting Oracle Access Manager, and WEBHOST1 and WEBHOST2 hosting Oracle HTTP Server.
Isolated upgrade refers to upgrading one of the tiers in OIM-OAM Integrated with Oracle Unified Directory (OUD) topology setup, using the automated upgrade tool, without upgrading the full suite.
For example, you can upgrade only OIM to 11.1.2.3.0, and the rest of the components (OAM, OUD, and OHS) which are on 11.1.2.2.0 will continue to work with the upgraded version of OIM.
Isolated Upgrade Scenarios Supported for OIM-OAM Integrated with Oracle Unified Directory (OUD) Topology on a single node
For OIM-OAM Integrated with Oracle Unified Directory (OUD) Topology on a single node, the following isolated upgrade scenarios are supported:
Upgrade Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) only
Upgrade Oracle Access Manager (OAM) only
Upgrade Oracle Unified Directory (OUD) only
Upgrade Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) only
Note:
Isolated upgrade for OIM-OAM Integrated with Oracle Unified Directory (OUD) Topology is supported on a single node Linux platform only.Isolated upgrade for OIM-OAM Integrated with Oracle Unified Directory (OUD) Topology on a highly available (HA) setup is NOT supported.
Life Cycle Management (LCM) Tools was introduced in Oracle Identity and Access Management 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.2.0) to install, configure, and deploy the components of Oracle Identity and Access Management. Therefore, Oracle Identity and Access Management 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.2.0) environments deployed using the LCM tool is the only supported starting point for automated upgrade.
Table 2-1 lists the scenarios supported for automated upgrade, and points to the respective chapters that describe the upgrade procedure.
