Post Patch Instructions:

   For ODI Studio, run the odi command with -clean -initialize parameters. See Document 1943854.1 in My Oracle Support for details.

   For ODI J2EE Agent, clear the cache of the WebLogic Managed Server hosting the application, as explained in Document 2171537.1 in My Oracle Support.

2. Make a backup of your ODI repository schema. Ensure a proper backup of the ODI repository exists prior to upgrade. If the patch needs to be rolled back, the repository will need to be restored from the backup. Repository restoration is also required in case the upgrade assistant fails.

3. If you are upgrading from an ODI release prior to 12.2.1.4.210321, then use the Upgrade Assistant (ua) to upgrade all ODI repositories associated with the installation.

   Note: Before performing this upgrade, make sure that all work and master repository schema users have been granted CREATE VIEW and CREATE PROCEDURE privileges.

   Copy

   grant create view to OUA_MASTER;
   grant CREATE PROCEDURE to OUA_MASTER;
   grant create view to OUA_WORK;
   grant CREATE PROCEDURE to OUA_WORK;
