If your existing software version is 11.1.1.4.0, you do not need to follow the instructions in this chapter. To patch your existing release 11.1.1.4.0 software, follow the instructions in Section 3.8.3, Post-Patching Tasks If Your Starting Point is Release 11.1.1.4.0 . The following topics are covered: ■ Preparing for Applying the Oracle WebCenter Patch Set ■ Upgrading Oracle Universal Content Management 10g ■ Removing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH Entry from the setDomainEnv Script ■ Updating Oracle WebCenter to 11.1.1.5.0 ■ Performing Oracle WebCenter Post-Patching Tasks ■ Adding New Features to Oracle WebCenter For additional information about installing and patching Oracle WebCenter, refer to Oracle WebCenter Installation and Configuration Roadmap.

5.1 Preparing for Applying the Oracle WebCenter Patch Set

Before you perform the steps in this chapter, make sure you have performed the steps outlined in Section 3.4, Perform General Pre-Patching Tasks . In addition, some WebCenter products require additional pre-patching attention: ■ Section 5.1.2, Saving Your OmniPortlet and WebClipping Customizations ■ Section 5.1.3, Purging Old Documents in MDS for WebCenter Spaces

5.1.1 Performing General Oracle Fusion Middleware Pre-Patching Steps

Before you begin patching your Oracle WebCenter environment, perform the steps outlined in Section 3.4, Perform General Pre-Patching Tasks .

5.1.2 Saving Your OmniPortlet and WebClipping Customizations

This procedures in this section are needed only if you are using OmniPortlet and WebClipping customizations, and they are being used with a file-based preferences store. By default, in Oracle WebCenter and Portal, file-based preferences store is not 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:
