Weblogic upgrade from 8.1 to 10.3.6 - Apache Beehive

Hi
We are trying to upgrade from Weblogic 8.1 to 10.3.6, the applications use Apache Beehive.
Would like to know if Weblogic 10.3.6 supports Apache Beehive Integration. Tried to do a Proof of concept, the beehive control objects are not getting set and because of it I am getting null pointer exception.

Hi Srini,
it supports but you need to upgrade correctly.
follow this link
Beehive Applications
after upgrade if you found some error like classnotfound error.
If those are the errors you were also experiencing, then please follow one of these options to resolve this issue:OPTION
1:Identify all the JARs that contain the beehive classes and explicitly add the jar files to the classpathOPTION
2:When you created the domain (if you used the Config Wizard), do you make it a "Workshop" domain? If not, try that.That should deploy the Workshop framework (Beehive controls, NETUI, etc) libraries as shared libraries. Then these libraries should be referenced in your applications weblogic.xml and weblogic-application.xml.

Weblogic upgrade from 8.1 to 10.3.6 - WLW_IDE.jar issue

Hi
We are in the process of upgrading our applications from Weblogic 8.1 to 10.3.6. Since WorkShop IDE has been decommissioned since Weblogic 10.3.2 we don't have the WLW_IDE.jar any more in the fusion middleware installation. The build is dependent on this JAR. Would like to know if there is an alternative to WLW_IDE.jar which can be used to make the build or how we can remove the dependency on WLW_IDE.jar - we don't want to rewrite the code.
<taskdef name="wlwBuild" classname="workshop.core.WlwBuildTask" classpath="${weblogic.home}/workshop/wlw-ide.jar"/>
<target name="build">
    <wlwBuild work="${app.dir}/${work.file}" serverclasspath="${server.classpath}">

Query about the steps for Weblogic Server Upgrade from 8.1 to 10.3

Hi!
We have planned to upgrade our Weblogic Server from 8.1 to 10.3. Could anyone advise me:
1. How to upgrade the Weblogic Server from 8.1 to 10.3? Can the Weblogic Server 10.3 coexist with the Weblogic Server 8.1 in one physical server?
2. Where can the upgrade software be downloaded?
3. We have a web service currently running under Weblogic Workshop as the Weblogic Server is started via the workshop. Can this web service be run under Weblogic Server 10.3?
4. Are there any foreseeable issues/problems that will happen?
Please kindly help me. Thanks a lot.
Best Regards
May

Download location: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/wls_main.html
You can upgrade the domain after you install wls 10.3 using QuickStart.
When we migrated we have moved from windows to linux. We have installed, created domain, created managed servers, configured, etc. from scratch. We didn't face any 'show stopper' issues.

Upgrading from weblogic 10.3.0.0 to 10.3.2.0?

Hey guys,
I am currently trying to upgrade my 10.3.0.0 weblogic server to 10.3.2.0 and i receive an error message stating that
"The product maintenance level of the current installer (Weblogic Server:10.3.2.0) is not compatible with the maintenance level of the product installed on your system (Weblogic Server 10.3.0.0). Please obtain a compatible installer or perform maintenance on your current system to achieve the desired level."
My question is:
- Is there an out of the box easy way to upgrade from 10.3.0.0 to 10.3.2.0?
thanks.

Hi,
Try giving a different BEA_HOME for weblogic server 10.3.2.0. I think this should help!

Steps to upgrade from Weblogic Portal 8.1 to Webcenter Portal 11.1.1.6

Currently I'm involved in consulting for a client who has Weblogic Portal (WLP) 8.1. I'm trying to find documentation for upgrade from WLP 8.1 to Webcenter 11.1.1.6.
I found the below link but the starting point for upgrade is Oracle WebCenter 10g (10.1.3)
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e22628/wcmap.htm
I'm not clear if I should migrate from WLP 8.1 to WLP 10.3.x and then to Webcenter or direct migration from WLP 8.1 to Webcenter is possible ?
Any pointers / links / case study would be helpful.
Thanks for the helping soul in advance.

Thank you jiri for the quick response.
Regarding your comment 'upgrade from WLP 8.1 to WLP 10.3.5 is not for free', I did some search and found that the documentation is available for upgrading from 8.1 to 10.3.4 as below :
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26806_01/wlp.1034/e14253/upgrade_process.htm
Also when I went to the 10.3.5 documentation library (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35968_01/index.htm), I found the below link (where the upgrade process points 8.1 to 10.3.4 instead of 8.1 to *10.3.5*)
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26806_01/wlp.1034/e14253/toc.htm
My understanding (after reading the documentation + your comment) is that we can upgrade from 8.1 to 10.3.4 but to upgrade to 10.3.5 we need to pay Oracle. Could you point me to a link which has that information ?
Thank you for your help.

Weblogic 6.1 server upgrade from SP2 to SP3

Hi All
We have weblogic server 6.1 SP2 installed on the solaris machine. Now we
have to upgrade our weblogic server 6.1 SP3. We also have downloaded the installable.
But that installable seems to over-write the previous weblogic server & installs
the server afresh. Is there any patch kinda thing available which allows me to
upgrade from SP2 to SP3 ? I don't want a fresh new install of SP3 server.
thanks in advance

Upgrade installer from SP2 to SP3 is only available for paid BEA
customers. You need a login at http://support.bea.com

Weblogic Portal ( Server ) upgrade from 10.0 MP1 to 10.3.5

HI,
We are currently attempting to upgrade WebLogic Portal Server in development environment and having problems when i run the installer. ( WLS1035_upgrade_generic.jar ).
I'm attempting this upgrade in Windows 7 professional environment ( 64 bit ) and it is a Windows VM with in a MAC OS X.
Problem : At the screen where it asks to Choose Middleware Home Type ---> click next   ---> it shows error message saying Product is not Installed.
Environment   :    Upgrade of WebLogic 10.0 MP1 portal server ( JDK 1.5_30 ) on a Windows Virtual Machine running using Parallels Desktop software
Existing attempts :
I went through the forums and tried
- Oracle's Minimum Technical Requirements says that i need to have JDK 1.6_24 and have installed JDK 1.6.0_35. ( jdk-6u35-windows-x64.exe ) .
   I'm currently running the setup from command prompt using this version of Java.
- Tried using BEA WebLogic smart upgrade. But it is not recognising our Oracle Support Login credentials. I tried doing this in offline mode having the above .jar and .zip file patch in the correct directory but its not recognising.
Weblogic home directory is c:\bea and it has got all the directories inside it -   i don't understand the reason why installer is not able to identify the existing WLS installation.
I would appreciate help around this as i'm not sure what else to try ?
Cheers,

I am not sure what you are doing is supported. You cannot upgrade a 10.0 to a 10.3.5 the way you are trying. The updater may be used to upgrade froma 10.3.x to 10.3.5 i believe. Check this out Upgrading WebLogic Server 9.x or 10.0 Application Environments to 10.3.5

Upgrading from BEA Weblogic portal 8.1.5 to BEA Weblogic Portal 10.3

We are upgrading from BEA Weblogic portal 8.1.5 to BEA Weblogic Portal 10.3. We just took over the project from some other vendor since last 9 months. At some of the places in the code, we are using internal APIs of Weblogic Server which should not have been used at the first place.
As weblogic has changed the version and internal structure as well as the classes also, We are facing problems in terms of compilation of the code itself.
The class "ServletRequestImpl" is giving us issues.
Has anybody faced the similar issues, if yes, please let me know.

Andy-
Since the Struts portlet support requires that struts app be converted to a module,
alternate message resources need to be accessed by modifying the bundle name by
appending the module name, since Struts doesn't automatically propogate the alternate
resources from the ServletContext to the Request when a module is selected.
For instance, in suppose your struts application module is /struts/myExample.
To access the alternate bundle from within that module, you'll need to specify
the bundle as alternate/struts/myExample.

Upgrading the weblogic domain from 10.0 to 10.3

i am having my weblogic domain version 10.0 , i would like to upgrade my domain to 10.3. Is there any way i can upgrade to 10.3 without new installation using some patch or smartupdate tool.Or, do i definitely need a new installation. Can you please suggest me and can you please let me know if there is any procedure to do that.

Your Weblogic 10.0 domain should be able to work (at least with WLS 10.3.5) without any modificaiton.
In any case if you still want to update, WLS comes with a tool that performes that for you (Weblogic Upgrade Wizard) which is documented here:

4.2.2 upgrade from 4.1 and images location issue

I've just upgraded from 4.1 to 4.2.2, and am having an issue with the referenced location of the images directory (/i/) resources. I am running apex listener on weblogic server, and have copied the new images into the i.war that I use. I have an unusual reverse proxy situation where my base URL includes a path, i.e., https://www.my.website.com/mysite/ is the URL that the proxy returns to the user, so my APEX addresses look like https://www.my.website.com/mysite/apex/f?101:1:::::, and my image directory references get put together like https://www.my.website.com/mysite/i/image.jpg.
However, with the upgrade, one of the things that popped up was all of the datepickers in my application were changed to classic datepickers, which worked and displayed fine. When I change them to the new datepicker, the small calendar image doesn't show next to the field (red x), and when I look at the properties of the image, it's URL is https://www.mywebsite.com/i/asfdcldr.gif (no "/mysite/" path offset). ALL of the other images directory references seem fine, but not this. Has 4.2.2 changed how it composed the #HOST# when it's generating these new controls (same result when I make a datepicker from scratch)? Why do all of my other images directory references work? The only other problem that I'm seeing is that my charts no longer work, either. I used to have to hardcode my URL into the XML of the charts for them to work, but I don't see the URL referenced in the code anymore. Not sure if that's related, but that has always been an issue with my reverse proxy situation (I don't control the proxy server).
Thanks in advance for any light anyone can shed on this,
-warren

Hi Warren,

Not sure if that's related, but that has always been an issue with my reverse proxy situation (I don't control the proxy server).+
With APEX 4.2, we've changed how charts are initialized to be JavaScript only, and as part of the changes, we no longer expose the region source for charts. See *4.8 Updated AnyChart Flash Charts* in the APEX 4.2 Release Notes, here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35121/toc.htm#CACEJBCD. So it's no longer feasible to hardcode a reference to your URL in the region source for a chart. If you have a reverse proxy, the CGI environment variables REQUEST_PROTOCOL, HTTP_HOST, SERVER_PORT, and SCRIPT_NAME, have to be correctly set to the public facing web server and not to the internal forwarding connection. If you execute the following query in SQL Workshop on your APEX instance, do you see the settings for the public facing web server?
select owa_util.get_cgi_env('REQUEST_PROTOCOL'), owa_util.get_cgi_env('HTTP_HOST'), owa_util.get_cgi_env('SERVER_PORT'), owa_util.get_cgi_env('SCRIPT_NAME') from dual;Regards,

Before running upgrade.sh, all applications were undeployed from the domain and I've verified that config.xml is valid with no refs to previously installed apps.
I've also removed refs to custom security providers in config.xml, but stil the same.
Can anyone please help?

Fixed.
The xml-file for one of the jdbc-resources defined in config.xml was missing from DOMAIN_HOME/conf/jdbc. Adding the file fixed the problem.

Compilation errors after upgrading from 8.1.6 to 10.2

I recently upgraded a Weblogic Workshop application from version 8.1.6 to 10.2 using the Import wizard in Weblogic Workshop 10.2. However, I am getting the following compilation errors:
Problem encountered finding XML Schema metadata for XML Bean
com.ssmb.amps.workflow.projectionApproval.ProjectionApprovalDocument
Does any one has any idea on it?
Thanks,

Hi,
Once upgraded from s.1 to 10.2, XML Schemes are converted to XMLBeans. So, during compiliation XMLSchemas are encountered. Try deleting XMLSchemas and compile. Hope it may help.

Related to Upgrade from 9.3.1 to 11 version

Hi Experts,
I need to upgrade from 9.3.1 to 11.1.1.3/11.1.2.1.
I know recommeded to install on new servers;
1) What if client ask to upgrade (no new server) on existing one.
2) How to handle if we have already Tomca Appache (app server) on 9.3.1 and now 11 doesn't support.
what points to keep in mind with these two challenges to reduce some complexity.
Regards
Kumar

I think your question is not one that can always be answered quickly on a forum but it is worth you having a read of the following on Oracle support - "Upgrade Advisor: Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) System Upgrade from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.1 [ID 324.1]"
Yes it is 11.11.3 to 11.1.2.1 but it goes through all the different stages from evaluation to acceptance, the information provided is relevant to other versions.
It is possible to upgrade from on the same server, tomcat is no longer supported so the web app server used will be weblogic.
There is also details in the documentation about upgrading - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_install_11121/frameset.htm?ch05.html
