Oracle WebLogic Server Domain Upgrade Wizard

This topic provides a high-level description of the Oracle WebLogic Server Domain Upgrade Wizard and how to use it. For more information about this wizard, see Oracle® Fusion Middleware Upgrade Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server 11g Release 1 (10.3.1) in the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 Documentation Library.

You use the Domain Upgrade Wizard to streamline the upgrade of domains with a newer version of Oracle WebLogic Server. For example, you might want to use this wizard to upgrade a domain to version 11g that was created in version 10.3.x.

You must upgrade the domains on every computer in the domain. The wizard supports the following upgrade modes:

• Graphical. Use this mode to upgrade a domain interactively; that is, using a graphical user interface.
• Silent. Use this mode to upgrade an Oracle WebLogic Server domain by specifying the upgrade requirements in a file.

Tasks Performed by the Upgrade Wizard

During an Oracle WebLogic domain upgrade, you specify the domain that you want to upgrade and respond to a set of prompts. The wizard performs the following tasks:

1. (Optional) Backs up the original domain directory.
2. Recreates scripts, such as the startup and shutdown scripts, and renames any original scripts as orig-scriptname.bak, where orig-scriptname specifies the original script name and extension.
3. Restructures the original domain, creating a new directory structure and then moving the domain components to new locations.
4. Upgrades the persistent configuration information stored in the configuration file (config.xml) to the configuration directory.
5. Upgrades the persistent data, such as the JMS file stores, JMS JDBC stores, and transaction stores.
6. Saves the configuration.
7. Reports any errors that occurred during the domain upgrade.
