Preface

Security and manual migration


  • Before going live, you should perform a sanity check for all security settings in WebLogic and make sure that application roles are set up as required. This will form part of the regression-test cycle that we will discuss in a moment. Note that BI System User is removed in 12c.

  • In the upgraded Web Catalog, 11g Catalog Groups have been replaced by 12c Application Roles. You will still need to migrate catalog groups from the 11g version manually.

  • You will also need to manually migrate the following from 11g to 12c:

    • Weblogic Security Configuration

    • Fusion Middleware Configuration

    • Fusion Middleware Control, that is, the General, Presentation, Performance, and Mail sections.

    • Fusion Middleware Control Log Settings

  • Also note, and plan into your activities, migration for those optional components that you currently use:

    • BI Publisher

    • Usage Tracking

    • Scheduler

    • Essbase

Note

These upgrades are outside the scope of this chapter as they are also quite involved, so please refer to the Oracle...
