1.2.5 What If I’m Not Running a Supported Upgrade Starting Point?
If you are running an Oracle Application Server release prior to the supported upgrade starting points, then you must first upgrade to a supported upgrade starting
point. After you upgrade to a supported starting point, you can then use the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g upgrade documentation to perform the upgrade.
Specifically, refer to Table 1–1
for information on upgrading from earlier versions of Oracle Application Server to a supported starting point.
1.3 Task 3: Get Familiar With the Installation and Upgrade Tools
The procedures and tools you use to install and configure the Oracle Fusion Middleware components are very different from the ones you used to install and
configure Oracle Application Server 10g.
