15.3 Upgrading WebCenter Consumer Applications

Table 15–1 lists the tasks involved in upgrading a WebCenter 10.1.3.x consumer application to Oracle WebCenter 11g. Note: The JDeveloper migration utility migrates portlet customizations only for preconfigured portlet producers from the default location, 10.1.3.x_jdev_install_ dir portalportletdata. If you used a nondefault location to store customizations of preconfigured portlet producers, you must manually migrate the customizations. To migrate customizations of portlet producers other than preconfigured portlet producers, you need to use the preference store migration utility. For information about: ■ Migrating preconfigured portlet producers’ customizations manually from the default location, see Section 15.4.2.4.1, Migrating Customizations from the Default Location. ■ Migrating preconfigured portlet producers’ customizations from a nondefault location, see Section 15.4.2.4.2, Migrating Customizations from a Nondefault Location. ■ Migrating customizations for portlet producers other than preconfigured portlet producers, see Section 15.4.3.1, Migrating Customizations.

Further, you may need to perform certain tasks before the upgrade, depending on whether your application contains portlets or relies on Oracle Content DB. This section describes the following tasks: ■ Backing Up Your Applications ■ Preparing Applications That Rely on Oracle Content DB ■ Preparing Applications That Contain Portlets Table 15–1 Task Flow for Upgrading a WebCenter 10.1.3.x Consumer Application Task Sub Task When to Perform the Task?
