About Migrating an Oracle SOA Cloud Service Classic Instance

Migrating an Oracle SOA Cloud Service Classic instance to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure includes provisioning a new Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace or Oracle SOA Cloud Service instance, migrating or re-creating configurations from the old source environment, and then transitioning to the newly provisioned instance.

Note:

If you want to upgrade an instance from one version to another in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, or from an older to a newer instance in the same version, you can perform a side-by-side upgrade by following the manual migration steps in Migrate an Oracle SOA Cloud Service Classic Instance to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Manually.

Keep the following details in mind for migrating an Oracle SOA Cloud Service Classic instance to Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace instance versus an Oracle SOA Cloud Service target on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure:

Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace Target Oracle SOA Cloud Service Target

To migrate an Oracle SOA Cloud Service Classic instance to Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure:

  • using manual steps, the source Oracle SOA Cloud Service instance version must be 12.1.3 or later.

To migrate an Oracle SOA Cloud Service Classic instance to Oracle SOA Cloud Service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure:

  • using manual steps, the source Oracle SOA Cloud Service instance version must be 12.1.3 or later.
The target Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace instance is 12.2.1.4, which is the only version for Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace.

Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace uses the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure load balancer in both private and public subnets. The load balancer can be configured during provisioning or post-provisioning. Oracle SOA Cloud Service uses Oracle Traffic Director (OTD) as a load balancer. On Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, also supports the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure load balancer, which must be configured manually post-provisioning.
Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace uses Keystore Services (KSS). Oracle SOA Cloud Service uses Keystore Services (KSS).
You can directly copy and import security information between the source and the target Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace instances. You can directly copy and import security information between the source and the target Oracle SOA Cloud Service instances.
