OAS Upgrade OAS 7.6 (2024) Reconfiguring the Domain in silent mode

Srikanth Pandarangi-Oracle

Hello All,

I am trying to upgrade from OAS 7.0 (2023)   OAS 7.6 (2024)  version on linux machines. There is one particular step Reconfiguring the Domain


The Upgrade Documentation has steps only to run Reconfiguration Wizard in graphical mode.

Is there any way this can be done in Silent Mode?  Anyone tried the Reconfiguration using silent mode for upgrade?

Welcome to the Oracle Analytics Community, Srikanth!

Yes, you can perform silent upgrades and readiness checks.

Upgrade Assistant Parameters

I would suggest your perform a GUI upgrade on a test/scratch system to generate your response files, then modifying them as necessary for each additional upgrade.

Thanks for ask your question, other comments are most welcomed.

Hi Srikanth,
I was remiss in my memory , that you have to use WLST Scripting for the domain reconfiguration if you want non-graphical.

https://docs.oracle.com/en/middleware/fusion-middleware/12.2.1.4/wlupg/upgrade_dom.html

Reconfiguring a WebLogic Domain

Oracle provides a choice of two tools for reconfiguring a WebLogic domain: the graphical Fusion Middleware Reconfiguration Wizard or the WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST).

..

Note:

If you cannot run the Reconfiguration Wizard in GUI mode, Oracle recommends that you use a WLST script to reconfigure your domain. See Reconfiguring a WebLogic Domain Using WebLogic Scripting Tool.

Hope that helps.

Hi Steve

Thanks for your response.

I am able to run few steps using silent mode. Post verifying the Schema Upgrade, There is step to Reconfiguring the Domain.

The Documentation has steps only to run Reconfiguration Wizard in graphical mode. I am struck in this step right now.

I am unable to find the option to run this step in silent mode to include in the automation.

Can you please check on this?

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the response.

I have gone through the page you have shared to reconfigure using WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST).

https://docs.oracle.com/en/middleware/fusion-middleware/12.2.1.4/wlupg/upgrade_dom.html#GUID-7013A617-AF17-4036-834B-13293B7F24E9

it shows this at the beginning of the page:

"You can use the Reconfiguration Wizard to upgrade any WebLogic domain that was created with Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.1 or later, or from Oracle WebLogic Server 12.1.1 or later."

I have a question on this.

We have use Oracle WebLogic Server 12c (12.2.1.4) when installing OAS 7.0 (2023)  and we are using The same version Oracle WebLogic Server 12c (12.2.1.4) for OAS 7.6 (2024)

There is nothing to upgrade in this scenario, The versions are same and we are using updated recommended versions.

Can we skip this Reconfiguring a WebLogic Domain step?

Thanks,

Srikanth.

I have never skipped it, so I am unsure of the consequences of skipping it, even if the FMW infrastructure is of the same vision.

Snippets from the OAS guide and the FMW Guide.

The Reconfiguration Progress screen displays the progress of the reconfiguration process. During this process:

Domain information is extracted, saved, and updated.

Schemas, scripts, and other such files that support your Fusion Middleware products are updated.

When you reconfigure a domain:

The domain version number in the config.xml file for the domain is updated to the Administration Server's installed WebLogic Server version major and minor version number (for example, 12.2.1.0).

Reconfiguration templates for all installed Oracle products are automatically selected and applied to the domain. These templates define any reconfiguration tasks that are required to make the WebLogic domain compatible with the current WebLogic Server version.

Start scripts are updated.

….

You may need to perform it with GUI, check/co

Another alternative, you can pursue is an out-of-place migration; wherein, you export your snapshot, you install OAS 2024 silent , reconfigure your security, compare your configuration settings (NQSConfig.INI, instanceconfig.xml, etc.), import your snapshot — more manual steps that you would have to evaluate if you can automate on a scratch/test system.

But this error is not related.

Can you help me on this?

Hi Steve,

I am was able to run reconfigure using WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) successfully.

Thanks,
