- 17. Upgrading to 12c
- Before going live, you should perform a sanity check for all security settings in WebLogic and make sure that application roles are set up as required. This will form part of the regression-test cycle that we will discuss in a moment. Note that BI System User is removed in 12c.
- In the upgraded Web Catalog, 11g Catalog Groups have been replaced by 12c Application Roles. You will still need to migrate catalog groups from the 11g version manually.
- You will also need to manually migrate the following from 11g to 12c:
- Weblogic Security Configuration
- Fusion Middleware Configuration
- Fusion Middleware Control, that is, the General, Presentation, Performance, and Mail sections.
- Fusion Middleware Control Log Settings
- Also note, and plan into your activities, migration for those optional components that you currently use:
- BI Publisher
- Usage Tracking
- Scheduler
- Essbase
Note
These upgrades are outside the scope of this chapter as they are also quite involved, so please refer to the Oracle documentation at: http://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1221/core/BIMIG/
