Updating FMW 11gR1 11.1.1.5.0 and WLS 10.3.6, SOA compatibility?
I'm planning updates for a Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.5.0) installation with the following setup:
- application domain: WebLogic Server 10.3.5.0
- portal domain: WebCenter 11.1.1.5.0 on WLS 10.3.5.0
- process domain: SOA Suite 11g (PS5) 11.1.1.6.0 on WLS 10.3.5.0 (process domain will not be updated)
The WLS 10.3.5 seems to be a dead end for patches so I'd like to go to WLS 10.3.6. That version is no longer compatible with FMW 11.1.1.5.0 so I'd have to update the rest of the FMW too to 11.1.1.6.0 - but we won't be updating the SOA Suite (for technical and other reasons).
If the SOA Suite 11g (PS5) 11.1.1.6.0 is running on WLS 10.3.5 would it be compatible with applications and portal (the rest of the environment) running on WLS 10.3.6? The apps and process instances communicate through web service interfaces. The WLS installations have domain trust set up. Are there other considerations?
