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.

Currently, Oracle does not 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 Database Cloud Service (DBCS).
  • The version of the Oracle Java Cloud Service is 12.2.1.x or later.

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.

Note:

The instructions provided in this document apply to any Oracle Java Cloud Service instance that uses DBCS. Although the instructions in this guide apply to migrating your existing Oracle Java Cloud Service instance in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic to a new instance in Oracle WebLogic Server for OCI, you may use these instructions for older instances of OCI that use DBCS.
