How to Install this Release

Log in to My Oracle Support and search for 36420089 under the Patches & Updates tab.

Download the OFSAA 8.1.2.5.0 OFS AAI ML Release archive file and copy it to your OFSAA Server in Binary mode.

Note:

There are different archive files for different Operating Systems such as Solaris SPARC and Linux.

During the upgrade:

Stop all the OFS AAI Services.

For more information, see the Stop the Infrastructure Services section in the Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure Installation and Configuration Guide.

Log in to the OFSAA Server as a non-root user and navigate to the $FIC_HOME directory.

Assign WRITE permission to the files/directories such as commonscripts, EXEWebService, ficapp, ficweb, and ficdb using the command:

chmod -R 775 *

If you have the Unzip utility, skip to the next step. If you do not have the utility, download the OS-specific Unzip utility and copy it in Binary Mode to the directory that is included in your PATH variable, typically $HOME path or directory in which you have copied the 8.1.2.5.0 ML.

Uncompress the unzip installer file using the command:
uncompress unzip_<os>.Z

Note:
If you notice the error message: “uncompress: not found [No such file or directory]”, when the package is not installed, contact your UNIX Administrator.
Give EXECUTE permission to the utility using the command:
chmod 751 unzip_<os>

For example, chmod 751 unzip_linux

Extract the contents of the 8.1.2.5.0 ML Archive File using one of the following commands:

unzip_<os> -a p36420089_81250_linux.zip
unzip –a p36420089_81250_linux.zip

Note:

The “-a” option is mandatory to unzip the Archive File. For example: For a Linux Operating System,

unzip -a
                            p36420089_81250_Linux-x86-64.zip

Navigate to the path where the folder OFS_AAI exists to give EXECUTE permission to the ML Patch Installer Script using the command:

chmod 755 OFSAAIUpdate.sh

Complete the patch upgrade using the command:

./OFSAAIUpdate.sh

Verify if the ML Patch is applied successfully by checking the log file generated in the OFS_AAI/logs directory. You can ignore Error Codes ORA-00001, ORA-00955, ORA-01430, and ORA-02292 in the log file.

For any other error, contact My Oracle Support.

Note:

For an upgrade on Hive Infodom, you may encounter an exception

PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or
                            view does not exist

. You can ignore this error.

After completing the installation, follow these steps:

Execute .profile using the following command:
. $HOME/.profile
Clear the Application Cache. Navigate to the following path depending on the configured Web Application Server and delete the files.
- Tomcat: <Tomcat installation folder>/work/Catalina/localhost/<Application name>/org/apache/jsp
- WebLogic: <WebLogic installation location>/domains/<Domain name>/servers/<Server name>/tmp/_WL_user/<Application name>
- WebSphere: <WebSphere installation directory>/AppServer/profiles/<Profile name>/temp/<Node name>/server1/<Application name>/<.war file name>
