Migration Scope

Before you migrate your existing Oracle Java Cloud Service instances to Oracle WebLogic Server for OCI, ensure that the service instance meets the prerequisites for the migration.

Oracle does not currently support the migration of Oracle Java Cloud Service instances running Oracle WebLogic Server 11g or 12.1.3 releases.

If all the following prerequisites are met, then proceed with the migration process described in this guide:
  • The Oracle Java Cloud Service uses Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database (not classic DBCS) or Autonomous database.
  • The version of the Oracle Java Cloud Service is 12.2.1.x or later.
  • If you plan to use the same VCN for Oracle Java Cloud Service and Oracle WebLogic Server for OCI.

Note:

If you plan to migrate Oracle Java Cloud Service to Oracle WebLogic Server for OCI, where Oracle Java Cloud Service uses a classic DBCS, then follow the instructions in the Migrating JCS on OCI-C to Oracle WebLogic Server for OCI Using tar guide. Although your instance is on OCI, the instructions for performing the DBCS migration and corresponding data source updates are applicable to this case.

This guide does not include detailed procedures on the configuration of basic Oracle WebLogic Server for OCI security, network and storage resources that might be required to support your new WebLogic Server domain. Instead, this guide provides references to the Oracle WebLogic Server for OCI documentation as appropriate.
