Upgrading OAS 2023 to 2024, bi-sac-config-mgr deployment in failed state

Karthik-Oracle

Hello,

After upgrade completed from OAS 2023 to 2024, and when all servers started.

These 3 deployments are down,

Also tried upgrade with the recent release, OAS 2023 to 2025, and same issue observed here also.

Kindly suggest how to debug & resolve this issue.

Hi @Karthik-Oracle

As a general observation, when applications fail to start, it can potentially be from CPU/Memory utilization/contention on the server as all the apps are deploying in parallel. You can navigate to the Weblogic console, and try to start them manually, or a restart of the entire stack.

I have performed an upgrade to OAS 2025 and not observed that behavior, so it may be something environmental to your system.

This will be difficult to debug in a public forum, so I suggest you log a service request if you are unable to proceed.

and also noticed this error in upgrade domain step using upgrade-assistant

Same issue observed while upgrading either to OAS 2024 or OAS 2025..

Ya, I think SR is the only way to get this resolved.. will do that.. Thanks @SteveF-Oracle
