Before You Begin Restoration

Before beginning the process of restoring the existing OC4J Server Manager Console data onto a WebLogic/WebSphere Server Manager Console, consider the following:

  • The OC4J based Server Manager Console should be installed at Z:\jde_home_oc4j.

  • It is assumed that the WebLogic based Server Manager Console is installed to Z:\wlssmc on the Windows Platform and installed to /home/oracle/jde_home_wlssmc on Linux and Solaris platforms.

  • When moving files from Windows to Linux/Solaris it is necessary to FTP the files in ASCII mode for text files (for example.xml files …etc) and to use BINARY mode for encrypted or binary files (for example, .xsml files ….etc).

  • While FTPing files from Windows to Linux/Solaris, the files should be FTPed using the same user account that was used to install the Server Manager Console and that will run the Server Manager Console (i.e oracle user).

  • A WebSphere based Server Manager Console installation on the Windows Platform can be assumed to be Z:\wassmc.

  • Ensure that both the OC4J based and WebLogic/WebSphere based Server Manager Consoles are stopped before starting with the Restoration process.

  • Ensure that you backup the files to a different location before overwriting the files as part of the restoration process.

  • Ensure that the WebLogic/WebSphere Server Manager Console is started after the entire restoration activity is complete.
