Weblogic 10.3.2 installation

Question

This may be a dumb question, but have to ask... I remember somewhere in the IDM docs (doesn't mean I actually saw it... just that I remember seeing it) that when WLS is installed for IDM 11g that WLS must be installed as root... Is this correct?
I am curious since if it is true, this requires a chown to be executed after install of WLS so that during IDM install steps, the domain can be created.
If not... I need to know that also in order to make sure our install procedures are correct.
Thanks in advance!

The upgrade is with version 11.1.1.5 and since you need a fresh 11g install, you should go with 11.1.1.5
Here is the main documentation for the 11.1.1.5 http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/im.htm
There is a section Upgrade Guide http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/upgrade.1111/e10129/toc.htm
There is a section for Starting Point information for your environment: Supported Starting Points for Upgrading Oracle Single Sign-On and Oracle Identity and Access Management http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/upgrade.1111/e10129/starting_points_two.htm#BEIEDAHM
You'll need to be at version 9.1.0.2 BP14 or higher for your current oim instance.
There is also a section for the upgrade steps: Upgrading Oracle Identity Manager Environment http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/upgrade.1111/e10129/upgrade_oim.htm#BAJJCHFA
In the upgrade steps, it defines which objects are not compatible with 11g and will need to be redesigned/recreated.
Read the guide carefully and in detail.
