Oracle Fusion Middleware and Components
• Dozens of components make up what Oracle now brands as "Oracle Fusion Middleware”
• For the core Banner applications we are only concerned with the following:
• Oracle Weblogic Server
— Provides Java functionality (Java EE)
— WLS replaces OC4J
March 10, 2011 | www.sungardhe.com 4
— Oracle Fusion Middleware built on top of WLS
— Required for any Banner OFM installation
• Oracle Fusion Middleware - Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer
—Required for INB and SSB installation
— Includes Forms and Reports as well components required for SSB
—OFM utilizes WLS for its J2EE services
11g Fusion & WebLogic Requirements
• 11.1.0.7 (11.1.0.6 plus patch 7) on DB Server is required
• Banner 8.3 or higher
• Space on your INB/SSB Servers (The Install is much bigger)
• Oracle WebLogic Basic 10.3.2 (10.3.3 works as well)
• Oracle Fusion Middleware 11.1.1.2.0 (11.1.1.3.0 works as well)
• JPI6U20 (Java Plugin) seems to be most compatible with IE and FireFox
March 10, 2011 | www.sungardhe.com 5
and FireFox
• Sun 6 JDK or Oracle JRockit
—Java versions of note:
— jdk160_14_R27.6.5-32
— jrockit_160_14_R27.6.5-32
• Recommend Separate Server(s) for INB/SSB (NEW INSTALL)
• Xterm or VNC for installing Fusion/WebLogic
11g Fusion & WebLogic Requirements cont…
• http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/weblogic/downloads/wls-main-097127.html
—Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.3) + Coherence -Package Installer
• http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/fmw-11-download-092893.html
—Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer (11.1.1.2.0)
March 10, 2011 | www.sungardhe.com 6
—Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer (11.1.1.2.0)
NOTE: Downloading the 11.1.1.3.0 release would go on top of 11.1.1.2.0.
NOTE II: WebLogic 10.3.4 is the latest release supported by Oracle.
Requirements for Oracle 11gR2 DB
• 11.2.0.1 Enterprise Edition
• 11.2.0.1 Client
• 11.2.0.1 Examples (Examples replaced Companion in 10g)
• Patches
***Latest CPU Patch***
• 11.2.0.1 certified and supported on all platforms
March 10, 2011 | www.sungardhe.com 7
• 11.2.0.2 certified and supported on all platforms
• 10.1.2.3 recommended on INB/SSB (10.1.3 for SSB optional) or OFM 11g
• Eventually 11g Fusion/WebLogic, but requires Banner 8.3 or higher
• Java 1.5+ or higher
• Review Prereqs required with Oracle Install Guide
Requirements for Oracle 11gR2 DB cont…
• NEW! Starting with 11.2.0.2.0, upgrades are no longer delivered as patchsets, but as full installs ("out of place upgrade")
• Implications:
—New Oracle Home needed for each upgrade
—More disk space required
March 10, 2011 | www.sungardhe.com 8
—No need to install base release then immediately patch
—Quarterly CPUs and PSUs will be applied to the 4-digit release
—Easier fall-back in case of problems
—Should probably name the Oracle_Home with 4 digit release

Tips and Tricks on 11g Fusion Middleware & WebLogic
• Fusion11g_Unix_start_scripts.tar (easy use)
• Defect #: 1-EL3YSD
— 11g - GLAEXTR- Next Block from Key block gives error FRM-93652 The runtime process has terminated
• Oracle Patch required:
—p9473270

—Required to compile GUQINTF.fmb
— **After applying patch, must relink Oracle forms binaries
• cd $ORACLE_HOME/forms/lib— make -f ins_forms.mk frmcmp_install
— make -f ins_forms.mk frmbld_install
— make -f ins_forms.mk frmcmpb_install
— make -f ins_forms.mk frmweb_install
• SSB with new UI still requires 10.1.3 (or OC4J instance)
Putting it all together (Upgrade/Migration Strategy)
