9.1 Preparing the OAAM Environment for Transition

To transition an Oracle Adaptive Access Management (OAAM) environment to OAA, OARM, and OUA, the OAAM environment must meet the following criteria:

  • OAAM must be at 11gR2PS3 with the latest Bundle Patch applied.
  • If OAAM 11gR2PS3 is integrated with Oracle Access Management (OAM) and/or Oracle Identity Manager (OIM), then OAM/OIM must be 12cPS4. This involves first upgrading to 12cPS3 (12.2.1.3.0), and then upgrading to 12cPS4 (12.2.1.4.0).

    1. For details on performing an OAM 11gR2PS3 upgrade to 12cPS3, refer to Introduction to Upgrading Oracle Access Manager to 12c (12.2.1.3.0)

      For details on performing an OIG 11gR2PS3 upgrade to 12cPS3, refer to Introduction to Upgrading Oracle Identity Manager to 12c (12.2.1.3.0)

      Details on performing an integrated OIG/OAM 11gR2PS3 upgrade to 12cPS3 can also be found in the above documentation.

    2. Once the environment is upgraded to 12cPS3 then the environment must be upgraded to 12cPS4.
      For details on performing an OAM 11gR2PS3 upgrade to 12cPS4, refer to Introduction to Upgrading Oracle Access Manager to 12c (12.2.1.4.0)

      Note:

      If you intend to install Oracle Universal Authenticator (OUA) when you transition, you must be on the 12.2.1.4 April 24 Bundle Patch or later.

      For details on performing an OIG 11gR2PS3 upgrade to 12cPS4, refer to Introduction to Upgrading Oracle Identity Manager to 12c (12.2.1.4.0)

      Details on performing an integrated OIG/OAM 11gR2PS3 upgrade to 12cPS4 can also be found in the above documentation.

  • The database used for OAAM must be at a version supported by OAA: 12c (12.2.0.1+), 18c, or 19c. If the OAAM database is not at this version then the database must be upgraded before proceeding with the OAA, OARM, and OUA installation.

    Note:

    If upgrading the database from 12.1 to a supported version, after upgrading the database you must set the compatible database parameter to the version you have upgraded to. See your database version specific documentation to determine the required compatible value. Failure to do this will cause the OAA transition to fail.
  • In order to prevent any issues and mitigate any risk to the production OAAM environment, it is recommended that you either clone the entire OAAM environment, or clone the OAAM database prior to transition The OAA, OARM, and OUA installation will connect to the OAAM schema in the cloned database, which allows the OAAM environment to operate as normal while the transition occurs, and mitigates any risk to your production OAAM environment.
