Just wanted to know the latest Weblogic Portal Server that is analogous to Weblogic Application Server 10.3.4. We are upgrading our Weblogic application server to the latest version hence wanted to know about the latest Portal server. Re: Weblogic portal 10.3.4 Domain creation issue 951521 Jul 24, 2012 9:46 PM ( in response to 737720 ) Hi, i am also having the same problem with weblogic portal server. I am trying to troubleshoot the issue, but still no avail. Can you please share the steps you take to fixed the problem with yours. And, the WebLogic Server console did not save my changes. But, I was able to correct my configuration to resolve the issue. So, I thought I would share my notes on the pieces involved. In my case, there are three pieces involved: F5, OHS (Oracle HTTP Server), and WLS (WebLogic Server 10.3.4). WebLogic Portal (WLP) versions 10.3.0 and 10.3.6 are not the same and you should expect some differences when upgrading from 10.3.0 to 10.3.6. The best way to see the differences between the versions is to look at the release notes for each version to see what has changed from version to version and also what the known issues and limitations are. The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated. If the request method was not HEAD and the server wishes to make public why the request has not been fulfilled, it SHOULD describe the reason for the refusal in the entity.

@Sanjeev Kumar Nanda,
Most of config files in SOA 11g are under $DOMAIN_HOME

1. $DOMAIN_HOME/config
2. $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig

If by edition you mean Standard vs. Enterprise vs. Suite, the edition (or more accurately the license you require) is dependent on which features you use. There is only one download.

See MOS note: “How To Tell Which WebLogic Server Package Is Being Used (Doc ID 1487545.1)”

If you’re using Clustering or Enterprise Manager Diagnostics Pack – you’re using Enterprise.

I just now found all this out so thought I’d share 🙂

Hope that helps

This chapter describes upgrade tasks related to upgrading your WebLogic Portal product to 10.3.4.

This chapter contains the following sections:

2.1 Before You Begin

You can upgrade directly to WebLogic Portal 10.3.4 from 8.1, 9.2, and 10.0/10.2/10.3/10.3.2 portal applications. For information on upgrading earlier versions to WebLogic Portal 8.1, see the WebLogic Portal Upgrade Guide for Version 8.1.

2.2 Database Changes During Upgrade

The WebLogic Upgrade Wizard executes database scripts to add and modify database tables for WebLogic Portal 10.3.4. Before you run the Upgrade Wizard to perform database upgrade tasks, you should perform full backups of all WebLogic Portal databases.

Note:

Oracle 8.1.7 (DBMS version and drivers) is no longer supported. Upgrade to either Oracle 9i, 10G, or 11G by following your vendor's instructions before you upgrade to WebLogic 10.3.4.

WebLogic Portal 8.1 supports only the Oracle Thin driver. A WebLogic Portal 8.1 domain that was configured with either the weblogic.jdbcx.oracle.OracleDataSource or the weblogic.jdbc.oracle.OracleDriver driver is not supported. The domain might upgrade successfully, but the following error occurs when you start the server:

When you run the 10.3.4 Upgrade Wizard, the default is to automatically upgrade the main WebLogic Portal database.

You can choose to defer database upgrades and do them manually. Certain database upgrade tasks, such as dropping deprecated database objects, upgrading separate behavior tracking databases, and upgrading separate content management databases require a manual database upgrade.

For additional information on how to perform database upgrade tasks manually, see Appendix B.

2.3 DDL Files

Table 2-1 lists the .SQL files containing the Data Definition Language (DDL) for the database upgrade from WebLogic Portal 8.1 to 9.2.

Table 2-1 Files Containing the DDL for Upgrading from 8.1 to 9.2

Directory Name	File Name
<WLPORTAL_HOME>/p13n/db/<DBMS>	p13n9_create.tables.sql p13n9_create.indexes.sql upgrade_fromdbmsauth_towlssqlauth.sql (if the domain is configured for the DBMS authenticator) dep9_drop_tables.sql (manual upgrade only)
<WLPORTAL_HOME>/content-mgmt/db/<DBMS>	cm9_create_tables.sql cm9_create_indexes.sql cm9_create_fkeys.sql cm9_create_triggers.sql cmv9_create_tables.sql cmv9_create_indexes.sql
<WLPORTAL_HOME>/portal/db/<DBMS>	pf9_create_tables.sql pf9_create_fkeys.sql pf9_create_views.sql comm_create_tables.sql comm_create_fkeys.sql comm_create_indexes.sql comm_create_views.sql comm_create_triggers.sql dep9_drop_tables.sql (manual upgrade only)

Table 2-2 lists the .SQL files containing the DDL for the database upgrade from WebLogic Portal 9.2 to 10.0.

Table 2-2 Files Containing the DDL for Upgrading from 9.2 to 10.0

Directory Name	File Name
<WLPORTAL_HOME>/portal/db/<DBMS>	pf10_create_tables.sql
<WLPORTAL_HOME>/content-mgmt/db/<DBMS>	cm10_create_tables.sql cmv10_create_tables.sql

Table 2-3 lists the .SQL files containing the DDL for the database upgrade from WebLogic Portal 10.0/10.2/10.3/10.3.2 to 10.3.4.

Table 2-3 Files Containing the DDL for Upgrading from 10.0/10.2/10.3/10.3.2 to 10.3.4

Abdal hakim murad. It was tremendous patience on part of the participants. S different than what the Qur'anic verses were stating, we kept on rewording the translation until those verses were understood properly. May Allah reward them all.

Directory Name	File Name
<WLPORTAL_HOME>/p13n/db/<DBMS>	p13n102_create.tables.sql p13n102_drop.tables.sql p13n103_create_tables.sql
<WLPORTAL_HOME>/portal/db/<DBMS>	pf102_create_tables.sql pf102_drop_tables.sql
<WLPORTAL_HOME>/content-mgmt/db/<DBMS>	cmv102_create_tables.sql

2.4 Backing Up Your Applications and Data

Before you upgrade your application environment, you should manually back up the domain and any external application and application database resources in a separate process. You should back up the relevant information on all machines in the domain. The wizard backs up only the domain directory and does not preserve file permissions.

2.5 Removing Unneeded Database Objects

You can clean up an existing database (any database prior to Portal 10.3.4) that contains unused and deprecated/removed WebLogic Commerce Services database objects.

Run the following scripts to remove the objects from the database:

• <WLPORTAL_HOME>/portal/db/<DBMS>/wlcs_drop_fkeys.sql

• <WLPORTAL_HOME>/portal/db/<DBMS>/wlcs_drop_tables.sql

2.6 Upgrading to WebLogic Portal 10.3.4

The upgrade process requires you to upgrade your portal domain and your portal application. Upgrading from the following WebLogic Portal versions is supported: 9.2, 9.2 MP1, 10.0, 10.0 MP1, and 10.2/10.3/10.3.2 applications.

This section contains the following topics:

2.6.1 Upgrading Your Portal Domain

This section provides upgrade instructions for WebLogic Portal database and metadata files.

As you prepare to upgrade your portal application, review the Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse upgrade documentation available by choosing Help > Help Contents > Oracle Workshop for WebLogic User's Guide > Upgrading to Workshop for WebLogic 10.x. The Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse documentation includes step-by-step instructions for using the Import Wizard, and detailed information about what happens during the upgrade process and any required manual pre- or post-upgrade tasks.

Perform the following steps to upgrade your portal domain:

1. Verify that the WebLogic domain is not running.

2. Upgrade the portal domain using the WebLogic Upgrade Wizard before you upgrade your portal application. To start the WebLogic Upgrade Wizard in graphical mode and upgrade a WebLogic domain on a Windows platform, run upgrade.cmd from the <WLPORTAL_HOME>commonbin directory

   Note:

   Do not use the menu option Start> All Programs> Oracle Products> WebLogic Server 10.x> Tools> Domain Upgrade Wizard. This launches the WebLogic Server domain upgrade wizard.

   Note:

   The WebLogic Upgrade Wizard is described in detail in Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrade Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server.

   The wizard upgrades your portal, content management, and personalization database data. It optionally upgrades your 8.1 RDBMSAuthenticator to the WebLogic 10.3.4 SQLAuthenticator. For more information on upgrading your user store, see Section 1.6, 'Security.'

3. Read Appendix A.

4. As needed, upgrade individual applications as described in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Production Operations Guide for Oracle WebLogic Portal.

   Tip:

   If you customized how you set the domain in your start scripts, your changes will be overwritten when you run the WebLogic Portal 10.3.4 start scripts. You should manually copy any start script (and setDomainEnv.cmd/sh) modifications you made and want to preserve in the upgraded domain.

Note:

If you are using the RDBMS Security Store feature, as described in Section 1.6, 'Security,' as part of the upgrade process, the DDL automatically creates the RDBMS Security Store tables in the schema for which the p13nDatasource is configured. If a portal domain administrator wishes to use or configure a database schema other than the schema for which the p13nDatasource is configured, he or she must manually run the following script to create the RDBMS Security Store tables for that schema:

<WLPORTAL_HOME>/p13n/db/<database_vendor>/rdbms_security_store_create_tables.sql

For more information on the RDBMS Security Store tables, see 'RDBMS Security Store Tables' in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Database Administration Guide for Oracle WebLogic Portal.

2.6.2 Upgrading from Portal 9.2 and 10.0/10.2/10.3/10.3.2 to 10.3.4

You can upgrade your WebLogic Portal 9.2, 9.2 MP1, 10.0, 10.0 MP1, 10.2, 10.3, or 10.3.2 applications to 10.3.4. The WebLogic Portal APIs have been maintained in this version of WebLogic Portal, and most core formats for the database and file based assets have not changed. For general information on this type of upgrade, see Section 1.2, 'Portal 9.2, 10.0, 10.2, 10.3, 10.3.2 to 10.3.4 Upgrade Overview.'

The upgrade process involves upgrading WebLogic Portal applications and resources to WebLogic Portal 10.3. The 9.2 and 10.0/10.2/10.3/10.3.2 upgrades are performed on the Workshop for WebLogic Eclipse project folder. After you upgrade to Portal 10.3.4, you cannot go back to a previous portal version.

Choose one of the following ways to upgrade your Portal 9.2 or 10.0/10.2/10.3/10.3.2 application to 10.3.4:

• Open an existing 9.2 or 10.0/10.2/10.3/10.3.2 portal application as a workspace in Workshop for WebLogic.

• Import an existing exploded 9.2 or 10.0/10.2/10.3/10.3.2 project into Workshop for WebLogic.

• Import an archived 9.2 or 10.0/10.2/10.3/10.3.2 project file into Workshop for WebLogic.

  Tip:

  You can choose to point your upgraded application to a new or upgraded 10.3.4 domain.

Perform the following steps to upgrade a 9.2 or 10.0/10.2/10.3/10.3.2 application to 10.3.4:

1. In Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse, ensure that Project > Build Automatically is enabled to resolve any build errors. By default, it is enabled.

2. Upgrade your domain using the WebLogic Upgrade Wizard. For more information, see Section 2.6.1, 'Upgrading Your Portal Domain.'

3. Perform one of the following steps in Workshop for WebLogic to upgrade an existing WebLogic Portal 9.2 and 10.0 application:

   1. Open an existing portal application as a workspace in Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse – Choose File > Switch Workspace, locate the existing workspace, and click OK. You can also choose the existing portal application in the Workspace Launcher when you launch Workshop for WebLogic, and click OK.

      Tip:

      To open an existing portal application as a workspace, ensure that the workspace and the application are created and accessed on the same machine. The project directory stores non-transferable preferences.

   2. Import an exploded 9.2 or 10.0 project into Workshop for WebLogic – Choose File > Import > General > Existing Projects into Workspace, and click Next. Click Select root directory, locate the project's directory, and click Finish. Click Finish again on the next dialog box to complete the upgrade.

   3. Import an archived 9.2 or 10.0 project file (such as a .ZIP file) into Workshop for WebLogic – Choose File > General > Existing Projects into Workspace, and click Next. Click Select archive file, locate the archive file, and click Finish. Click Finish again on the next dialog box to complete the upgrade.

2.6.3 Upgrading from Portal 8.1 to 10.3.4

WebLogic Portal enables you to upgrade your 8.1 SP4, SP5, and SP6 applications directly to 10.3.4. Most WebLogic Portal APIs have been maintained in WebLogic Portal 10.3.4 (except for the Commerce API, which was deprecated in 10.0 and removed from the current version), and most core formats for the database and file based assets have not changed. Where changes have been made, tools are provided to upgrade you to the new format, or provide manual changes where needed. For general information on this type of upgrade, see Section 1.3, 'Portal 8.1 to 10.3.4 Upgrade Overview.'

The upgrade process involves upgrading WebLogic Portal 8.1 portal applications and resources to WebLogic Portal 10.3.4. The 8.1 to 10.3.4 upgrade is performed on a .work file. When you upgrade from WebLogic Portal 8.1 to 10.3.4, your Derby database is upgraded.

The high-level steps in the upgrade process include the following:

Oracle Weblogic 10.3

1. Upgrade your domain using the WebLogic Upgrade Wizard. For more information, see Section 2.6.1, 'Upgrading Your Portal Domain.'

2. Upgrade existing WebLogic Portal 8.1 SP4, SP5, and SP6 applications to run in WebLogic Portal 10.3.4. You can do this automatically using the Import utility that is provided in Workshop for WebLogic. For additional details on importing an 8.1 application, see Appendix C.

   Tip:

   If you customized how you set the domain in your start scripts, your changes will be overwritten when you run the WebLogic Portal 10.3.4 start scripts.
