About

Patching involves copying a small collection of files over an existing installation. A patch is normally associated with a particular version of an Oracle product and involves updating from one minor version of the product to a newer minor version of the same product (for example, from version 11.1.1.3.0 to version 11.1.1.5.0).

This article take back the steps detailed in this paragraph Moving from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.1.5 and set all instruction on one page.

Most of the steps can be found on this documentation page Applying the Latest Oracle Fusion Middleware Patch Set.

From version 11.1.1.5.0 to version 11.1.1.6.0, it's here: OBIEE 11G - In-Place Upgrade - Moving from 11.1.1.5 to 11.1.1.6

Pre-Patching Tasks

Backup and services

Backup all (Middleware Home, Domain Home and Oracle Instances)
Stops all server and process (WebLogic Servers, Node Manager, OPMN)

net stop "beasvc bifoundation_domain_bi_server1" -- weblogic bi server
net stop "beasvc bifoundation_domain_AdminServer" -- weblogic Admin server
net stop "OracleProcessManager_instance1" -- OPMN
net stop "Oracle WebLogic NodeManager (E_MiddelwareHome_wlserver_10.3)" -- Node Manager

Verify that the process (beasvc.exe, …) are not running.

Patch Oracle WebLogic Server

Oracle WebLogic Server must be to the latest version (10.3.5). From the version 11.1.1.3.0, you have to patch it.

You have also to change the JAVA_HOME of bi-init.

Patch Software Installation

Patch OBI

Download the product installer. The product installers for Oracle Business Intelligence can be used by existing customers to patch an existing Oracle Fusion Middleware installation. When using the Oracle Business Intelligence product installer to patch an existing Oracle Business Intelligence environment, make sure you select the Software Only Install option on the Select Installation Type screen.

These installers also offer a configuration option. When using them to apply a patch set, you must select the option to install the software only. Do not select the option to configure the software. The domain you are patching is already configured and does not require any reconfiguration.

The product installer will upgrade the wls domain.

Post-Patching Tasks

Upgrading the database repository schema MDS and BIPLATFORMK

Example for Oracle (see the complete syntax for other database or the “psa -help” command).

Enter the database administrator password for "SYS":
Enter the schema password for schema user "DEV_MDS":
Log file is located at: E:\MiddelwareHome\Oracle_BI1\upgrade\logs\psa2011-06-02-07-19-54AM.log
Updating the Oracle Fusion Middleware Metadata Schema to release 11.1.1.5.0.
Updating schema for component Oracle Metadata Services.
The command completed successfully

Then for BIPLATFORM:

Enter the schema password for schema user "DEV_BIPLATFORM":
Log file is located at: E:\MiddelwareHome\Oracle_BI1\upgrade\logs\psa2011-06-02-07-22-30AM.log
Updating the Oracle Fusion Middleware Metadata Schema to release 11.1.1.5.0.
Updating schema for component Oracle BI PLATFORM.
The command completed successfully

Recompile all objects:

sqlplus / as sysdba
sys@db11gr2>@?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql
sys@db11gr2>SELECT owner, object_name FROM all_objects WHERE status='INVALID';
no rows selected

Verify the repository version

sys@db11gr2>SELECT OWNER, VERSION, STATUS, UPGRADED FROM SCHEMA_VERSION_REGISTRY WHERE OWNER IN
('DEV_MDS','DEV_BIPLATFORM');

OWNER                          VERSION                        STATUS      U
------------------------------ ------------------------------ ----------- -
DEV_BIPLATFORM                 11.1.1.5.0                     VALID       Y
DEV_MDS                        11.1.1.5.0                     VALID       Y

Updating Configurations and Stores

For each WebLogic Server domain, you must run the upgradeOpss() WLST command to update your configurations and stores from previous releases to Release 11.1.1.5.0 configurations and stores using a system-jazn-data file in Release 11.1.1.5.0.

On Windows operating systems:

set MW_HOME=E:\MiddelwareHome
cd %MW_HOME%\oracle_common\common\bin
wlst.cmd
wls:/offline>upgradeOpss(jpsConfig="existing_jps_config_file", jaznData="system_jazn_data_file")

where:

existing_jps_config_file is DOMAIN_HOME\config\fmwconfig\jps-config.xml
system_jazn_data_file is MW_HOME\oracle_common\modules\oracle.jps_11.1.1\domain_config\system-jazn-data.xml

Example:

upgradeOpss(jpsConfig="E:/MiddelwareHome/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/config/fmwconfig/jps-config.xml",
jaznData="E:/MiddelwareHome/oracle_common/modules/oracle.jps_11.1.1/domain_config/system-jazn-data.xml")

Result:

Starting upgrade of jps configuration and security stores.
WLS ManagedService is not up running. Fall back to use system properties for configuration.
2-jun-2011 11:22:22 oracle.security.jps.internal.tools.utility.destination.apibased.JpsDstPolicy <init>
WARNING: No identity store associate with policy store found.
Upgrade of jps configuration and security stores is done.

Updating OBI Code Grants

This operation which is a part of “Post-Patching Tasks for OBI” is the same task than above and is leaved here just for information. If you are on a windows system information and that you give a slash in place of a backslash. this operation may return a successful status whereas nothing was done. I recommend then to follow the step before

Upgrade code grants (that is, security policy artifacts) for the entire system and for Oracle BI. This step must be performed once per domain.

If you are updating to the latest version of Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) from Release 11.1.1.3.0, you must run the bi-upgrade.py script in each Oracle BI domain. This script configures the code grants necessary to ensure that SSL works correctly for Oracle BI, and must be run even if SSL is not used.

To run the script on Windows operating systems

On Unix, use wlst.sh

set MW_HOME="E:/MiddelwareHome"
set BI_ORACLE_HOME="E:/MiddelwareHome/Oracle_BI1"
set BI_DOMAIN_HOME="E:/MiddelwareHome/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain"
cd %MW_HOME%\oracle_common\common\bin
wlst.cmd %BI_ORACLE_HOME%\bin\bi-upgrade.py --domainhome %BI_DOMAIN_HOME% --bioraclehome %BI_ORACLE_HOME%

Updating OBI Catalogs

Shut down Oracle BI Presentation Services

opmnctl stopproc ias-component=coreapplication_obips1

Change the upgradeAndExit option to true in the instanceconfig.xml file.

<ps:Catalog xmlns:ps="oracle.bi.presentation.services/config/v1.1">
    <ps:UpgradeAndExit>true</ps:UpgradeAndExit>
</ps:Catalog>

Start Oracle BI Presentation Services using the following OPMN command the update the catalogs:

opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplication_obips1

After the catalogs are updated, edit the instanceconfig.xml file again and change the upgradeAndExit option back to false.
Restart Oracle BI Presentation Services
