Understanding an Upgrade to Oracle WebCenter Content 12c
An upgrade of Oracle WebCenter Content domain to 12c can include WebCenter Content, WebCenter Enterprise Capture, WebCenter Content Imaging, and WebCenter Content Web UI.
What’s New in WebCenter Content 12c
WebCenter Content 12c now supports a single WebLogic Server domain for all WebCenter Content and Capture components. It does not, however, support a direct upgrade of the domain hosting the Oracle WebCenter Content - Web UI from Release 11g to 12c. You will need to decommission the existing 11g Web UI domain and then extend the target upgraded WebCenter Content 12c domain with the Web UI component.

Once you have completed the Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture pre-upgrade tasks, go to section Upgrading an Oracle WebCenter Domain.
-
Upgrade only standard (non Fusion Application) environments already running Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture.
-
Upgrade all Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture systems within a clustered environment simultaneously.You can upgrade independent Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture systems separately.
-
Identify a time to perform the updates that will not interfere with operations.
The services will be unavailable while the update is being performed.
-
Stop the Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture server before upgrading.

Performing an Upgrade of Oracle WebCenter Content
WebCenter Content can be upgraded after performing the required pre-configuration tasks.
Once all of the pre-upgrade configuration tasks are complete, you can upgrade the WebCenter Content domain using the standard Fusion Middleware procedures described in Upgrading an Oracle WebCenter Domain.
After the upgrade you will need to perform additional post-upgrade configuration tasks as described in Performing Post Upgrade Tasks for WebCenter Content

Performing Post Upgrade Tasks for WebCenter Content
There are a few post upgrade tasks to be performed in order to successfully complete the WebCenter Content.
Complete these tasks after you have upgraded Oracle WebCenter Content.
Note:
These post-upgrade tasks should be done in addition to the general WebCenter post-upgrade tasks in Performing Post-Upgrade Configuration Tasks.
- Configuring the Oracle WebCenter Content Server Domain to Include WebCenter Content - Web UI
- Configuring E-Business Suite AXF Schema After an Upgrade
After the upgrade you will need to run a script to update the endpoint configuration of the AXF schema. - Updating the WccAdf.ear File (Optional)
- Migrating Custom Skins for WebCenter Content Web UI
- Upgrading Oracle Application Adapters for Oracle WebCenter Content
- Configuring the Report Library for Records Management in Content Server

Configuring the Oracle WebCenter Content Server Domain to Include WebCenter Content - Web UI
Extending the upgraded WebCenter Content Server domain to include the WebCenter Content Web UI components follows the standard WebLogic Server configuration procedures.
See Extending WebLogic Domains for detailed information about extending the domain with the Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard.
To launch the Configuration Wizard:
On UNIX Operating Systems:
cd /12c_Oracle_Home/oracle_common/common/bin
./config.sh
On Windows Operating Systems:
cd \12c_Oracle_Home\oracle_common\common\bin
When prompted, select the WebCenter Content - Web UI - 12.2.1.4.0 template.

Updating the WccAdf.ear File (Optional)
After the domain has been upgraded, you can manually modify the wccadf.ear file with the correct MDS partition details (those provided during the 11g installation.)
To update the wccadf.ear file, navigate to the following 11g directory and launch WLST in OFFLINE mode:
cd /<11g_MW_HOME>/oracle_common/common/bin/
./wlst.sh
wls:/offline> archive = getMDSArchiveConfig
('/ <12.2.1 wccadf.ear location>')
wls:/offline>
archive.setAppMetadataRepository(repository='mds-<mds_repo_name>',
partition='<11g_partition_name>', type='DB',
jndi='jdbc/mds/<mds_repo_name>')
wls:/offline> archive.save()
For example:
archive = getMDSArchiveConfig('/12.2.1_Oracle_Home/wccontent/wccadf/WccAdf.ear')
archive.setAppMetadataRepository(repository='mds-WCCUIMDSREPO', partition='11.1.1.9.0_MDS_PARTITION', type='DB', jndi='jdbc/mds/WCCUIMDSREPO')
archive.save()

Migrating Custom Skins for WebCenter Content Web UI
If you applied a custom skin to the WebCenter Content - Web UI in 11g, then you will need to migrate to the new 12c deployment, the custom skins JAR file after the upgrade.
- Uninstall the Oracle WebCenter Content -Web UI application from the 12.2.1 deployment. Use the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) in -deinstall mode.
- Delete the 12.2.1 oracle.wcc.adf.skin.custom library.
- Deploy the 11g custom skin JAR file, oracle.wcc.adf.skin.custom (11.1, 11.1.1.8.1), to the 12.2.1 environment.
- Reinstall the Oracle WebCenter Content - Web UI 12c application to pick up the new custom skin JAR file contents.

In order to upgrade to from any previous release, these adapters must be reinstalled.
To reinstall the EBS adapter:
- Follow the instructions in Compiling Oracle E-Business Suite Forms in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering
the Application Adapters for Oracle WebCenter to upgrade the
AXF_CUSTOM.PLL
module. - If you are configured for SSL, follow the instructions in Configuring the Integration for SSL in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering the Application Adapters for Oracle WebCenter.
To reimport the PeopleSoft project, follow the instructions (steps 1-6) in Importing the Oracle PeopleSoft Project in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering the Application Adapters for Oracle WebCenter.

Configuring the Report Library for Records Management in Content Server
If you plan to configure the Records Management feature in Content Server, you need to configure the report library for Records Management after creating the domain that includes the WebCenter Content Managed Server, before starting it for the first time. Without this library, you cannot check in any templates to Content Server.
For more information on configuring the report library for Records Management, see Configuring the Report Library for Records Management in Content Server in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installing and Configuring Oracle WebCenter Content.

Using Fusion Middleware Control to Monitor IBR
Note:
Inbound Refinery (IBR) 11g cannot be upgraded to 12c. You must install a new IBR to be used with your 12c environment.The steps below describe how to expand the domain to include the Oracle Enterprise Manager Plug-in for IBR template.

Starting Oracle WebCenter Content Server with SOA or BAM
When WebCenter Content is integrated with Oracle SOA or Oracle Business Activity Monitoring (BAM), you must start SOA and BAM before starting Oracle WebCenter Content or Oracle Inbound Refinery (IBR).
For more information on launching WebCenter Content server from Fusion Middleware Control, see Getting Started with Administering Oracle WebCenter Content in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Oracle WebCenter Content
If you attempt to start the WebCenter Content server or IBR before starting Oracle SOA or BAM servers, then you may see the following error:
oracle.wsm.policymanager.PolicyManagerException: WSM-02120 : Unable to connect to the policy access service.
