3 Tasks to Perform After Upgrade

This chapter summarizes the tasks you might have to perform after upgrading to Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c Infrastructure.

This chapter includes the following sections:

3.1 Configuring and Starting the Node Manager

Configure the Node Manager, and start it.

For more information about configuring the Node Manager, see "Completing the Node Manager Configuration" in Upgrading Oracle WebLogic Server.

For information about starting the Node Manager, see "Starting and Stopping Node Manager" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Oracle Fusion Middleware.

3.2 Restarting the Administration Server

Stop and start the WebLogic Administration Server.

For information about stopping and starting the Administration Server, see "Starting and Stopping Administration Servers" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Oracle Fusion Middleware.

3.3 Applying JRF Template to Managed Servers

If you used Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control to apply the Oracle JRF template to any existing Managed Servers in your 11g domain, then you must do the following to target JRF resources to the 12.1.2 Managed Servers, as it is not done as part of upgrade:

Note:

This does not apply to other scenarios where you applied the Oracle JRF template using the Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard or the WLST command line.

  1. Run the following script to identify the servers or clusters to which you need to apply JRF template:

    ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin/wlst.sh ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/util/upgrade/checkForApplyJRF.py absolute_path_to_domain

    Sample output:

    Checking target AdminServer... passed
    Checking target new_ManagedServer_1... failed
    Checking target new_ManagedServer_2... failed
    Checking target new_ManagedServer_3... not JRF enabled
    Checking target new_Cluster_1... not JRF enabled
    
    The following Server and/or Clusters have been found that will require applyJRF to be invoked again: ['new_ManagedServer_1', 'new_ManagedServer_2']
    
  2. Complete the following steps for those severs or clusters identified in the previous step:

    1. Run the following command to launch the WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST):

      (UNIX) ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin/wlst.sh

      (Windows) ORACLE_HOME\oracle_common\common\bin\wlst.cmd

    2. Run the applyJRF command in offline mode against the target(s) as shown in the following:

      wls:/offline>applyJRF('targetName1', 'absolute_path_to_domain')

      wls:/offline>applyJRF('targetName2', 'absolute_path_to_domain')

      ...

      wls:/offline>exit()

    Note:

    You can also apply JRF template to the Managed Servers or clusters by logging in to the Fusion Middleware Control using the following URL, and clicking APPLY JRF Template for the target Managed Server or cluster:

    http://adminstration_server_host:administration_server_port/em

3.4 Configuring an Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c Audit Data Store

If you were using a file-based audit store in Oracle Fusion Middleware11g, then after the upgrade to Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c, you should enable the loading of audit data to a database-based Audit Data Store.

As a part of the overall upgrade process, you should have created the IAU schema in the database where your other Oracle Fusion Middleware schemas reside. For more information about using the Audit Data Store, see "Managing the Audit Data Store" in Securing Applications with Oracle Platform Security Services.

3.5 Documentation Resources for Managing Your Upgraded Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c Software

3.6 Using Your 11g Application Deployments in Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c

After you upgrade to Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c, the custom Java and Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF) applications you previously deployed on Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g work as they did in Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g.

However, there are some new features and capabilities available in Oracle ADF 12c and in Oracle JDeveloper 12c.

The following sections provide some additional information about how you can migrate your applications to Oracle JDeveloper 12c:

3.6.1 About Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF) 12c

Information about the Oracle ADF can be found in the following Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c documentation resources:

3.6.2 About Oracle JDeveloper 12c

This section provides the following information:

3.6.2.1 Installing Oracle JDeveloper 12c

To install Oracle JDeveloper 12c, refer to Installing Oracle JDeveloper.

Note that Oracle JDeveloper provides an embedded version of Oracle WebLogic Server that can be used to locally test your applications. For more information, see "Deploying and Testing Applications Developed in Oracle JDeveloper" in Installing Oracle JDeveloper.

3.6.2.2 Migrating Applications Using Oracle JDeveloper 12c

After you install Oracle JDeveloper 12c, you can open your custom application projects in Oracle JDeveloper 12c and automatically migrate them to Oracle JDeveloper 12c.

For more information, see "Migrating From a Previous Version to Oracle JDeveloper 12.1.2" in Installing Oracle JDeveloper.

3.6.2.3 About Migrating Asynchronous Web Services with Oracle JDeveloper 12c

If your application contains ADF BC asynchronous Web Services, ensure that you rebuild it using Oracle JDeveloper or the ojdeploy command line tool to generate the required deployment descriptors in your deployment archive.

For more information about developing asynchronous Web Services, see "Developing Asynchronous Web Services" in Developing Oracle Infrastructure Web Services.
