Dear Experts,

1) Creating the export bundle (bi-migration-tool.jar) in OBIE 11g is it required to stop any services?

2) My OBIEE 11g has Jdk 1.7, is this fine ? I heard from oracle support you should have to update JDK version 1.7  to 1.8 then only you wont get any issues when you are exporting jar file in to the OBIEE 12C environment? is it true?

Thanks

    This document has details of the entire 11g to 12c process including prerequisites. You also didn’t mention the exact 11g version you have. Also, which 12c version are you upgrading to?

    1) I have seen this document but they weren't mentioned about the services.

    OBIEE 11.1.1.7.150120 to OBIEE 12.2.1.4.0

    The JDK has to be 1.8. Yes it's true. It won't run properly with old versions.

    The jar does its business on the file system. Services can be up or down iirc.

    Updating OBIEE11g JDK1.7 to JDK 1.8 is complicated? after installing can we see any major issues in the Production environment?

    Only the migration tool itself needs jdk 1.8 in order to work. you don't have to change OBIEE at all.

    yes, that's mean we should have to install JDK 1.8 in OBIEE 11g environment? anyway OBIEE 12C has already JDK 1.8

    Multiple versions of Java can perfectly coexist without interfering with each other.

    Look at how to get a JDK 1.8 on your 11g server without replacing / removing the current JDK 1.7 installed, it depends on your OS, but it's absolutely doable and OBIEE 11g will not even know a JDK 1.8 exists on that server (which means it will have no impact at all on your current server).

    Yes you install JDK 1.8 next to 1.7 on the 11g server. OBI doesn't care about the new JDK but you need to start the migration tool JAR using the JDK 1.8
