Patch Set Assistant Log Files

5-2 Oracle Fusion Middleware Patching Guide used. Such stores are only used by default for 11g Release 1 11.1.1 Portal environments that were upgraded from their 10g versions. When you apply the latest Oracle Fusion Middleware patch set, both the Omniportlet and WebClipping applications are re-deployed and all configuration data stored within file-based preference stores are lost. Therefore, before running Patch Set Installer, you must save the OmniPortlet and WebClipping configuration and customizations to ensure that customizations are not lost after applying the patch set. To save and backup your customizations, you must first find the following directories on UNIX operating systems: ■ path_to_war_directory WEB-INFprovidersomniPortlet ■ path_to_war_directory WEB-INFproviderswebclipping On Windows operating systems: ■ path_to_war_directory \WEB-INF\providers\omniPortlet ■ path_to_war_directory \WEB-INF\providers\webclipping The path_to_war_directory refers to the following path on a UNIX operating system: DOMAIN_HOME serversWLS_PORTALtmp_WL_userportalTools_ version randomly_ generated_directory war On a Windows operating system: DOMAIN_HOME \servers\WLS_PORTAL\tmp\_WL_user\portalTools_ version \ randomly_ generated_directory \war DOMAIN_HOME is the domain home locations for your Oracle Portal or Oracle WebCenter domain, as specified on the Specify Domain Name and Location screen in the Configuration Wizard. After you locate the omniportlet directory, you can use the following command on UNIX operating systems to back up the directory: cp -fr path_to_war_directory WEB-INFprovidersomniPortlet backup_location On Windows operating systems: xcopy ye path_to_war_directory \WEB-INF\providers\omniPortlet backup_location Then, after you patch your software, follow the instructions in Section 5.5.2, Restoring Your OmniPortlet and WebClipping Customizations .

5.1.3 Purging Old Documents in MDS for WebCenter Spaces

If you are using WebCenter Spaces, you should run the purgeMetadata WLST command to remove older versions of documents in MDS which will allow the patching process to run on a smaller set of data and thus decrease the time required to upgrade. To purge metadata for WebCenter Spaces: 1. Start your Administration Server and Spaces Managed Server WLS_Spaces as the purgeMetadata command is an online command. 2. Start WLST from your WebCenter Oracle home. On UNIX operating systems: Patching Oracle WebCenter 5-3 cd WebCenter_ORACLE_HOME commonbin .wlst.sh On Windows operating systems: cd WebCenter_ORACLE_HOME \common\bin wlst.cmd 3. Connect to the Administration Server using the WLST connect command. 4. Run the purgeMetadata WLST command. For example: purgeMetadatawebcenter, WLS_Spaces, 3060 See purgeMetadata in Oracle Fusion Middleware WebLogic Scripting Tool Command Reference for more details. 5. Re-collect the database statistics. For example, you can connect to the WebCenter MDS schema using SQLPlus: execute dbms_stats.gather_schema_statsownname=null, options=GATHER AUTO; For more information, see Metadata Services MDS Custom WLST Commands in Oracle Fusion Middleware WebLogic Scripting Tool Command Reference.
