11.2 Prepare for Upgrade
Before you plan to install or upgrade any of your application packs to Release 8.1.2.0.0, ensure that all the application packs in your current OFSAA instance are available in the Release 8.1.2.0.0 version.
Contact My Oracle Support for more information about the release version details.
Note:
- Ensure to revert any customized data model changes done without performing data model upload before upgrading.
- If you have defined any custom run purpose, ensure to take a backup of the tables FSI_LRM_LOOKUP_TL and FSI_LRM_PROCESS_PURPOSE_MAP, before you run the upgrade.
- Backup the following environment files from their respective directories:
- Database schema
- OFS_LRS_PACK.xml
- OFS_LRS_SCHEMA_IN.xml
- OFSAAI_InstallConfig.xml
- See the OFS Analytical Applications Technology Matrix for the hardware and software required to upgrade to OFS LRS Release 8.1.2.0.0.
- Enable unlimited cryptographic policy for Java. For more information, see the Enabling Unlimited Cryptographic Policy section in the OFS Analytical Applications Infrastructure Administration Guide
- Clone your environment.
There is a consistent need for a faster and effective approach of replicating an existing OFSAA instance for further project developments, that is, setting up OFSAA instances that are exact copies of the current OFSAA instance. For more information, see the Clone your Existing Environment section.
