Step by step process to upgrade UCM 10g to 11g i.e to fusion infrastructure. These steps are exact replica from the upgrade that I performed prior implementation at customer site.
1. Install Webcenter 11g Suite
Install 11g Webcenter Suite and create a domain for UCM and check whether UCM 11g Admin console is coming up properly.
In Our environment we have installed UCM 10g and in the same node we installed Weblogic Server 11g (which has UCM 11g).
Refer Install Webcenter 11g Suite
2.Upgrade Oracle UCM schema
We are using Mocha Xserver in our desktop as display server
Start mocha server in the desktop.Open a telnet session for server and export DISPLAY to IP address of desktop
export DISPLAY=143.156.98.23.0.0
Navigate to Enterprise Content Management Home bin(11g) directory and invoke upgrade assistant.
cd /apps/opt/fmw/webcenter/Oracle_ECM1/bin
./ua
Chose the radio button to Upgrade Universal Content Management Schema
We had already taken a backup of schema. We had also checked certification matrix for upgrade, hence checked both the option and proceed further..
Here enter the 10g UCM instance directory bin location
Enter the database access details for 10g UCM schema
3. Upgrade UCM Middle Tier
Navigate to Enterprise Content Management Home bin(11g) directory and invoke upgrade assistant
cd /apps/opt/fmw/webcenter/Oracle_ECM1/bin
./ua
Choose the option to Upgrade UCM middle Tier
Enter 10g UCM instance bin directory details
Here give the location of the UCM domain which we created. We can backup the cs directory in weblogic 11g domain and then create a new cs directory.
Enter the access details for Weblogic Admin Server
4. Change the Data Source for UCM 11g
From Weblogic Admin Console navigate Services -> Data Sources -> CSDS
Enter the UCM 10g schema details and then restart UCM server and the weblogic admin server.
5. Verify Instance
Start upgrade assistance again
cd /apps/opt/fmw/webcenter/Oracle_ECM1/bin
./ua
Vikas, very informative post. I was searching for this in OBE but no luck. Its good that you posted it here. Thanks Vikas.
Greetings Vikas ! Nice article and very user friendly. One quick question, in 11g is it called ECM 11g instead of UCM ?
Good post. Process is very clear. Cheers vikas
Hi Vikas,
Nice post, appreciate your efforts to put it in simple and clear.
I have a question. When I upgraded my UCM 10g to 11g, I found WebForm Editor is missing. Is it an expected behavior ?
regards
Chethan
Thanks Rupesh.
@Mark, In 11g ECM(Enterprise Content Management) comes as a bundle which will have UCM (Universal Content Management),IBR(Inbound Refinary) and IPM (Image Process Management)
@Hazael thanks very much for you feedback. All these positive feedback helps us to improve our posts.
Thanks Chethan.
Are you talking about Weblayout editor which comes as one of the applet ? It comes up in our upgraded 11g environment without any issues.
Thanks Vikas. I was asking about WebForm Editor, which is present in 10g UCM – This will help end users to create their own forms etc. I found that this feature is missing in 11g.
Found an aricle in OTN and it says to add a config variable in order to enable the menu item: WebForm Editor
HasWebFormEditorUI=true
Nice post. Can you tell me how long this upgrade process will take. How much hours downtime we should plan ?
To start with we had chosen a content server having less contents. So it took like 2 hours of down time for us.
All the contents were stored in file system and the total size of contents were lesser than 4g.
Thanks Vikas
Hi Vikash,
This a very informative post. Could you please tell me when we use the upgrade assistant whether it will map the content storage location or it will try to migrate the content into 11g directories.. I have to do a migration for 900GB of content.
1. What will happen for the folder structure?
2. Do we need to create profiles and security group in 11g or the utility will migrate that?
Hi Vikash,
Doe this utility migrates the metadata, rules/profiles, security groups and accounts as well or first we have to do it through config migrations utility and then run the upgrade assistant?
