To install this ML Release, follow these steps:

1. Login to My Oracle Support (MOS) and search for 36981354 under the Patches & Updates tab. See the note in the Pre-installation Requirements section for details related to Data Model Patch for this release.

   Note:

   Download the OFS CRA 8.1.2.7.0 erwin data model patch 37195656 from My Oracle Support. You can search for the patch number and download the patch from the Patches and Updates tab.
2. Download the OFS_CRA_8.1.2.7.0_LINUX.zip 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, and RHEL or Oracle Linux.
3. Stop all the OFSAAI Services. For more information, see the Stop The Infrastructure Services section in the Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure Installation Guide 8.1.2.0.0.
4. Login to the OFSAA Server as a non-root user, navigate to the $FIC_HOME directory, and execute the command: chmod -R 775 *
5. If you have Unzip utility, skip to the next step, else download the Unzip utility (OS-specific) 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 8.1.2.7.0 ML. Uncompress the unzip installer file using the command:
   uncompress unzip_<os>.Z

   Note:

   If you notice an error message uncompress: not found [No such file or directory] when the package is not installed, contact your UNIX Administrator.
6. Extract the contents of the 8.1.2.7.0 ML archive file using either of the following commands:
   unzip <name of the file to be unzipped>

   Note:

   In case of a fresh installation of OFS CRA Release version 8.1.2.7.0, navigate to the path /OFS_CRA_PACK/DataModel and replace the old Data Model XML file (OFS_CRA_Datamodel.xml) with the latest one provided in the patch 37195656.
7. Update the configuration file params.conf file before triggering the installation. The file params.conf is available in the directory: OFS_CRA_PACK/appsLibConfig/conf. Following are the input parameters for params.conf file:UPLOAD_MODEL= 1 and MODEL_TYPE= 0
8. Give EXECUTE permission to the ML patch installer script. Navigate to the OFS_CRA_PACK directory and execute the command:
   chmod 755 OFSAAIUpdate.sh
9. Execute the following install command:
   ./OFSAAIUpdate.sh
10. Verify if the ML is applied successfully by checking the log files generated in the OFS_CRA_PACK/OFS_CRA/logs directories. You can ignore the ORA-00001 and ORA-02292 errors in the log file. In case of any other errors, contact My Oracle Support (MOS).

    Note:

    See the OFS Analytical Applications Technology Matrix for a list of supported servers for OFS CRA 8.1.2.0.0.
11. After successful installation of the ML, perform the following steps:
    • Clear the Application Cache. Navigate to the following directory 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>
    • Deploy the RPD and Web Catalog file(s)
      • Take a backup of deployed CRMBI.rpd and CRMBI.catalog files from the OBIEE environment.
      • Navigate to the $FIC_HOME/OFS_CRA_DASHBOARDS/12.2.1.4.0/datamodel directory which contains the CRMBI.rpd file and the $FIC_HOME/OFS_CRA_DASHBOARDS/12.2.1.4.0/content/catalog directory which contains the CRMBI.catalog file. Deploy both the files into OBIEE deployment area.
      • Modify the connection pool and set the properties.
      • Any customization performed on the older RPD and Web Catalog files requires to be manually carried over to the newer ones post-deployment.
      • Clear OBIEE Cache, if enabled.
      • For more information on deploying RPD and Web Catalog files, see Deploying the application section in Oracle Financial Services Credit Risk Analytics Installation Guide 8.1.2.0.0.
12. Delete the existing EAR or WAR file available in the folder $FIC_HOME/ficweb.
13. Add umask 0027 in the .profile of the UNIX account which manages web server to ensure restricted access permissions.
14. Navigate to the web component deployed area. If you are deploying on a fresh environment, then delete the generated .war file. If you are installing in an existing environment, then delete the generated .war file and the folder created along with it.
15. Generate the application EAR or WAR file and redeploy the application onto your configured Web Application Server. For more information on generating and deploying the EAR or WAR file, see the Post Installation Configurations section in the Oracle Financial Services Credit_Risk_Analytics Installation Guide 8.1.2.0.0.
16. Restart all the OFSAAI Services. For more information, see the Starting Infrastructure Services section in the Oracle Financial Services Credit Risk Analytics Installation Guide 8.1.2.0.0.
