5-2 Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrade Guide for Oracle Identity Management

5.2 Task 2: If Necessary, Upgrade the Database that Contains the 10g Identity Management Schemas

When you upgrade your Oracle Identity Management components, the Oracle Identity Management schemas in the metadata repository are upgraded in-place. This means that you do not install the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g schemas; instead, you upgrade the existing 10g schemas to 11g, using the Upgrade Assistant. However, you must ensure that the version of the database that will contain the upgraded Oracle Identity Management schemas is supported by Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g. For instructions on verifying that your database meets the requirements of Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g, as well as instructions for upgrading the database, see Upgrading and Preparing Your Databases in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrade Planning Guide. 5.3 Task 3: Install and Configure the Oracle Internet Directory and Oracle Directory Integration Platform 11g Components The following sections describe how to install and configure your new Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g environment in preparation for upgrading from Oracle Application Server 10g: ■ Understanding the Implications of Installing Oracle Internet Directory 11g Against the Oracle Internet Directory 10g Schema ■ Install the Oracle WebLogic Server Software and Creating the Middleware Home ■ Install and Configure Oracle Internet Directory and Oracle Directory Integration Platform 11g in Preparation for Upgrade 5.3.1 Understanding the Implications of Installing Oracle Internet Directory 11g Against the Oracle Internet Directory 10g Schema To upgrade Oracle Internet Directory to 11g, you must install the new Oracle Internet Directory 11g instance against the existing Oracle Internet Directory 10g ODS schema. Then, you can you run the Upgrade Assistant to upgrade the Oracle Internet Directory 10g schema to 11g. Note, however, that until you upgrade the Oracle Internet Directory 10g schema to 11g, the new Oracle Internet Directory instance will be in read-only mode. As a result, be sure you have planned for enough time to not only install the new Oracle Internet Directory instance, but to upgrade the ODS schema, as described in Task 4: Use the Upgrade Assistant to Upgrade Oracle Internet Directory . Ensure that you do not run the Oracle Internet Directory 10g and Oracle Internet Directory 11g at the same time, this will avoid port conflicts. Note: If you are upgrading your Oracle Application Server 10g Oracle Internet Directory and Oracle Directory Integration Platform components to 11g, then you must install the new 11g software on the same host as the Oracle Application Server 10g components.
