Upgrade and Configure the Oracle Application Tier

8 Upgrade and Configure the Oracle Application Tier

Note:

Skip this chapter if you are upgrading from Oracle Clinical 5.2.2

If you are upgrading or migrating from an Oracle Clinical Remote Data Capture release other than version 5.2.1 or later, you cannot upgrade the application tier. You must complete a new install because releases 5.2.1 or later, and 5.4 use a different technology stack compared to prior releases. See Oracle Clinical Installation Guide for more information.

For the upgrade from release 5.2.1, upgrade the application tier technology stack from version 12.2.1.3 to 12.2.1.4.

Oracle Application Server 12c R2, which includes the Oracle Forms Server and the Oracle Reports Server. Both are required for Oracle Clinical.
WebLogic Server 12c R2 and Oracle Application Developer Framework 12c R2. These are required for RDC.

You can install all components on the same machine or on multiple machines, but you must install all components on all machines and then disable services on the machine(s) where they are not needed.

To ensure high availability of the Reports Server, you can set up and use more than one Reports Server on a subnet and they can access each other. For more information see the Oracle Clinical Administrator's Guide.

This chapter describes how to upgrade Oracle Application Server, which includes the Oracle WebLogic Server, Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure Software, Oracle Forms Server, and the Oracle Reports Server.
