2 Pre-Upgrade Requirements
Before you begin to upgrade Oracle Identity Manager 14c (14.1.2.1.0), you must perform pre-upgrade tasks such as backing up, creating a replica of your current environment, and verifying that your system meets certified requirements.
- Oracle Fusion Middleware Pre-Upgrade Checklist
Perform the tasks in this checklist before you begin any upgrade to ensure you have a successful upgrade and limited downtime. - Creating a Complete Backup
Before you start an upgrade, back up all system-critical files, including the Oracle home, Domain home, and databases that host your Oracle Fusion Middleware schemas. - Generating and Analyzing Pre-Upgrade Report for Oracle Identity Manager
Run the pre-upgrade report utility before you begin the upgrade process for Oracle Identity Manager, and address all of the issues using the solution provided in the report. - Verifying Certification and System Requirements
Review the certification matrix and system requirements documents to verify that your environment meets the necessary requirements for installation. You may be required to upgrade your operating system, hardware or other software packages. - Verify the Database User for the WLSSchemaDataSource Data Source
This step is required if your existing domain has aWLSSchemaDataSource
data source. - Creating a Non-SYSDBA User to Run the Upgrade Assistant
To run the Upgrade Assistant, Oracle recommends that you create a non-SYSDBA user calledFMW
, within your PDB. This user has the privileges required to modify schemas, but does not have full administrator privileges. - Identifying Existing Schemas Available for Upgrade
This optional step can be used before an upgrade to query the schema version registry table. This table contains schema information such as the schema owner, version number, component name and ID, date of creation and modification, and custom prefixes. - Shutting Down the Node Managers
Ensure that you have shut down all the local and remote Node Managers before starting the upgrade process.
Oracle Fusion Middleware Pre-Upgrade Checklist
Perform the tasks in this checklist before you begin any upgrade to ensure you have a successful upgrade and limited downtime.
Upgrades are performed while the servers are down. This checklist identifies important and often time-consuming pre-upgrade tasks that you can perform before the upgrade to limit your downtime. The more preparation you do before you begin the upgrade process, the less time you will spend offline.
Note:
The pre-upgrade procedures you perform will depend on the configuration of your existing system, the components you are upgrading, and the environment you want to create at the end of the upgrade and configuration process. Complete only those tasks that apply to your configurations or use cases.
Table 2-1 Tasks to Perform Before You Upgrade to Oracle Fusion Middleware 14c (14.1.2.1.0)
Task | Description |
---|---|
Required Create a complete backup of your existing environment. |
Back up all system-critical files and database(s) that contain any schemas that are to be upgraded. If the upgrade fails, you must restore your pre-upgrade environment and begin the upgrade again. See Creating a Complete Backup.
|
Required Verify that you are installing and upgrading your product on a supported hardware and software configuration. Caution: Do not attempt an upgrade if you are unable to use the latest supported operating system. As with all supported configurations, failure to comply with these requirements may cause your upgrade to fail. |
Verify that your hardware and software configurations (including operating systems) are supported by the latest certifications and requirements. Also ensure to use a supported JDK version before you install the 14c (14.1.2.1.0) product distributions. Oracle recommends that you verify this information right before you start the upgrade as the certification requirements are frequently updated. Note:

Creating a Complete Backup
Before you start an upgrade, back up all system-critical files, including the Oracle home, Domain home, and databases that host your Oracle Fusion Middleware schemas.
The backup must include the SYSTEM.SCHEMA_VERSION_REGISTRY$
table so that you can restore the contents back to its pre-upgrade state if the upgrade fails.
Note:
The Upgrade Assistant Prerequisites screen prompts you to acknowledge that backups have been performed before you proceed with the actual upgrade. However, the Upgrade Assistant does not verify that a backup has been created.-
Backing Up Your Environment in Administering Oracle Fusion Middleware
-
Upgrading and Preparing Your Oracle Databases for 14c (14.1.2.1.0) in Planning an Upgrade of Oracle Fusion Middleware
-
Oracle Database Documentation for information about upgrading the Oracle Database 19c and 23ai.
- Backing Up the Schema Version Registry Table
Your system backup must include theSYSTEM.SCHEMA_VERSION_REGISTRY
table or theFMWREGISTRY.SCHEMA_VERSION_REGISTRY
table. - Maintaining Customized Domain and Environment Settings
If you have modified any domain-generated, server startup scripts, or configuration files in your pre-upgrade environment, it is important to note that these changes are overwritten during the installation, and reconfiguration operations.
Parent topic: Pre-Upgrade Requirements
Backing Up the Schema Version Registry Table
Your system backup must include the
SYSTEM.SCHEMA_VERSION_REGISTRY
table or the
FMWREGISTRY.SCHEMA_VERSION_REGISTRY
table.
Note:
This step is only required for managed or collocated domains. Standalone domains will not have this table.
Each Fusion Middleware schema has a row in the
SYSTEM.SCHEMA_VERSION_REGISTRY
table. If you run the Upgrade
Assistant to update an existing schema and it does not succeed, you must restore the
original schema before you can try again. Before you run the Upgrade Assistant, make
sure you back up your existing database schemas and the schema version registry.
Note:
Before you upgrade a schema using the Upgrade Assistant, you must perform a complete database backup. During the upgrade, you are required to acknowledge that backups have been performed.Parent topic: Creating a Complete Backup
Maintaining Customized Domain and Environment Settings
If you have modified any domain-generated, server startup scripts, or configuration files in your pre-upgrade environment, it is important to note that these changes are overwritten during the installation, and reconfiguration operations.
Oracle recommends you to take a backup of the the customized files to a shared library location. In case of any failure or issues during the upgrade process, you can restore these files, if required.
Every domain installation includes dynamically-generated domain and server startup
scripts, such as setDomainEnv
. These files are replaced by newer versions
during the installation and upgrade process.
For example, if you want to customize server startup parameters that apply to all
servers in a domain, you can create a file
called setUserOverridesLate.cmd
(Windows) or
setUserOverridesLate.sh
(UNIX) and configure it to add custom libraries
to the WebLogic Server classpath, specify additional command-line options for running the
servers, or specify additional environment variables. When using the pack
and unpack
commands, any custom settings that you add to this file are
preserved during the domain upgrade operation and are carried over to the remote
servers.
For an example of startup customizations in the
setUserOverridesLate
script, see Customizing Server Parameters with the setUserOverridesLate
Script in Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle WebCenter Portal.

Verifying Certification and System Requirements
Review the certification matrix and system requirements documents to verify that your environment meets the necessary requirements for installation. You may be required to upgrade your operating system, hardware or other software packages.
Note:
When checking the certification, system requirements, and interoperability information, be sure to check specifically for any operating system requirements. It is important for you to download software specifically designed for your operating system environment, explicitly.WARNING:
Make sure that your current environment has been patched to the latest patch set before you begin the upgrade. Certifications are based on fully patched environments, unless stated otherwise.- Verify Your Environment Meets Certification Requirements
Oracle has tested and verified the performance of your product on all certified systems and environments. Make sure that you are installing your product on a supported hardware and software configuration. - Verify System Requirements and Specifications
It is important to use both the System Requirements and Specifications document and the Oracle Fusion Middleware Certification Matrix to verify that the system requirements such as disk space, available memory, specific platform packages and patches, and other operating system-specific items are met. - Verify That the Database Hosting Oracle Fusion Middleware is Supported
You must have a supported Oracle database configured with the required schemas before you run Oracle Fusion Middleware 14c (14.1.2.1.0). - Verify That the JDK Is Certified for This Release of Oracle Fusion Middleware
If your JDK is not supported, or you do not have a JDK installed, you must download the required Java SE JDK before you begin.
Parent topic: Pre-Upgrade Requirements
Verify Your Environment Meets Certification Requirements
Oracle has tested and verified the performance of your product on all certified systems and environments. Make sure that you are installing your product on a supported hardware and software configuration.
Whenever new certifications occur, they are added to the appropriate certification document right away. New certifications can occur at any time, and for this reason the certification documents are kept outside of the documentation libraries and are available on Oracle Technical Resources. See the Certification Matrix for 14c (14.1.2.1.0).
Parent topic: Verifying Certification and System Requirements
Verify System Requirements and Specifications
It is important to use both the System Requirements and Specifications document and the Oracle Fusion Middleware Certification Matrix to verify that the system requirements such as disk space, available memory, specific platform packages and patches, and other operating system-specific items are met.
Use the Oracle Fusion Middleware System Requirements and Specifications document to verify that the requirements of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Certification matrix are met. For example, if the Certification Matrix indicates that your product is certified for installation on 64-Bit Oracle Linux 8, the System Requirements and Specifications document should be used to verify that your Oracle Linux 8 system has met the required minimum specifications such as disk space, available memory, specific platform packages and patches, and other operating system-specific items. This document is updated as needed and resides outside of the documentation libraries on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN).
Note:
Do not attempt an upgrade if you are unable to meet the minimum system requirements.
- Processor Requirements
- Java Development Kit (JDK) Requirements
- General Memory and Disk Space Requirements
- Product-Specific Memory and Disk Space Requirements
- Network Requirements
- UNIX Operating System Requirements
- Windows Operating Systems Requirements
- Virtualization Requirements
- Database Requirements
What if my operating system is not supported?
If you are running your environment on an unsupported operating system, you will need to create a supported environment before you begin your upgrade. Do not attempt an upgrade on an unsupported operating system.
Use the migration steps for your environment.

Verify That the Database Hosting Oracle Fusion Middleware is Supported
You must have a supported Oracle database configured with the required schemas before you run Oracle Fusion Middleware 14c (14.1.2.1.0).
Note:
If your database version is no longer supported, you must upgrade to a supported version before starting an upgrade.- Updating Database Parameters for Oracle Identity Manager
You need to verify and update a few database parameters before upgrading the Oracle Identity Manager to 14c (14.1.2.1.0).
Parent topic: Verifying Certification and System Requirements
Updating Database Parameters for Oracle Identity Manager
You need to verify and update a few database parameters before upgrading the Oracle Identity Manager to 14c (14.1.2.1.0).
- Connect to the database by using an account that has Oracle DBA privileges, and run the commands in this procedure from SQL*Plus.
- To verify the value for the database parameter
max_string_size
, run the following command:SQL> SELECT value FROM v$parameter WHERE name='max_string_size';
- If the value returned is:
- STANDARD: Skip the rest of the steps in this procedure and go to the next procedure to continue with the upgrade.
- EXTENDED: Continue with step 4.
- Login as an OIM database user and then run the following command to find columns with size more than 4000 characters:
SQL> SELECT table_name, column_name, data_length FROM user_tab_columns WHERE data_length>4000;
- If any rows are listed, either trim the corresponding column data to 4000 characters or remove the rows.
Note:
If required, take backup of the listed rows in a new table. - Reset all the columns sizes found in step 4 to 4000 characters.
As an OIM database user, run the following command:
SQL> ALTER TABLE <table_name> MODIFY <column_name> VARCHAR2(4000);
- On the columns whose length was modified to more than 4000 characters, drop any existing index.
- As an OIM database user, run the following command to verify that there no more columns with size more than 4000:
SQL> SELECT table_name, column_name, data_length FROM user_tab_columns WHERE data_length>4000;
- If required, gather table and index stats for the identified columns.
For more information, see Monitoring Oracle Identity Governance Performance.
Verify That the JDK Is Certified for This Release of Oracle Fusion Middleware
If your JDK is not supported, or you do not have a JDK installed, you must download the required Java SE JDK before you begin.
Refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations information on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) to verify that the JDK you are using is supported.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Make sure that the JDK is installed outside of the Oracle home. The Oracle
Universal Installer validates that the designated Oracle home directory is empty, and
the install does not progress until an empty directory is specified. If you install JDK
under Oracle home, you may experience issues in future operations. Therefore, Oracle
recommends that you use install the JDK in the following directory:
/home/oracle/products/jdk
.
Parent topic: Verifying Certification and System Requirements
Verify the Database User for the WLSSchemaDataSource Data Source
This step is required if your existing domain has a
WLSSchemaDataSource
data source.
If your domain has the WLSSchemaDataSource
data source, then you
will need to verify which database user is assigned to it. If
<PREFIX>_WLS_RUNTIME
is assigned to it, then you need
to change that to <PREFIX>_WLS
.
- The 14c (14.1.2.1.0) Upgrade
Assistant uses the information in the
WLSSchemaDataSource
data source,when a domain-based schema upgrade is performed. That upgrade will fail if the<PREFIX>_WLS
database user is not assigned to theWLSSchemaDataSource
, or if<PREFIX>_WLS
is not entered as the "Schema User Name" on the "WLS Schema" page of the Upgrade Assistant. - Oracle recommends that you use the 12c Oracle WebLogic
Administration Console to change the database user to
<PREFIX>_WLS
in theWLSSchemaDataSource
data source. Doing this will avoid the Upgrade Assistant failure, and also allow the Reconfiguration Wizard to pre-populate fields with the correct values. - The
<PREFIX>_WLS_RUNTIME
database user is reserved for use with a newWLSRuntimeSchemaDataSource
, which was introduced in 14c (14.1.2.1.0). This newWLSRuntimeSchemaDataSource
will be created when the 14c (14.1.2.1.0) Reconfiguration Wizard (reconfig.sh) is used to upgrade the domain.
<PREFIX>_WLS_RUNTIME
to
<PREFIX>_WLS
.
- Log in the 12c (12.2.1.4.0) Administration Console.
- In the administration console under Domain Structure, expand Services (by clicking the + next to it). Then click Data Sources.
- If the user in Properties field contains
<PREFIX>_WLS_RUNTIME
, change it to<PREFIX>_WLS
. - Save the change.
- Use the Change Center to commit the change, if your domain is running in production mode.
Parent topic: Pre-Upgrade Requirements
Creating a Non-SYSDBA User to Run the Upgrade Assistant
To run the Upgrade Assistant, Oracle recommends that you create a non-SYSDBA user called FMW
, within your PDB. This user has the privileges required to modify schemas, but does not have full administrator privileges.
Note:
If you run the commands incdb
, it fails to create some of the grants successfully.
Note:
The non-SYSDBA userFMW
is created solely for the purpose of running the Upgrade Assistant. After this step is complete, drop the FMW
user. The privileges required for running the Upgrade Assistant may change from release to release.
By default, the v$xatrans$
table does not exist. You must run the XAVIEW.SQL
script to create this table before creating the user.
Before creating the user, confirm whether the v$xatrans$
table was created by a prior upgrade. As a system user, run the following command from sqlplus
:
select object_name, owner, object_type from dba_objects where object_name like '%XATRANS%'
If the v$xatrans$
table was created by a prior upgrade, you will see that the four objects are already available.

Identifying Existing Schemas Available for Upgrade
This optional step can be used before an upgrade to query the schema version registry table. This table contains schema information such as the schema owner, version number, component name and ID, date of creation and modification, and custom prefixes.
You can let the Upgrade Assistant upgrade all of the schemas in the domain, or you can select individual schemas to upgrade. To help decide, follow these steps to view a list of all the schemas that are available for an upgrade:
-
If you are using an Oracle database, connect to the database by using an account that has Oracle DBA privileges, and run the following from SQL*Plus:
SET LINE 120 COLUMN MRC_NAME FORMAT A14 COLUMN COMP_ID FORMAT A20 COLUMN VERSION FORMAT A12 COLUMN STATUS FORMAT A9 COLUMN UPGRADED FORMAT A8 SELECT MRC_NAME, COMP_ID, OWNER, VERSION, STATUS, UPGRADED FROM SCHEMA_VERSION_REGISTRY WHERE OWNER LIKE UPPER('<PREFIX>_%');
-
Examine the report that is generated.
Notes:
-
After the upgrade you can generate the report again to see the updated versions of your schemas. If an upgrade was not needed for a schema, the
schema_version_registry
table retains the schema at its pre-upgrade version. -
If your existing schemas are not from a supported version, then you must upgrade them to a supported version before using the 14c (14.1.2.1.0) upgrade procedures. Refer to your pre-upgrade version documentation for more information.
-
If you used an OID-based policy store in the earlier versions, make sure to create a new OPSS schema before you perform the upgrade. After the upgrade, the OPSS schema remains an LDAP-based store.
-
You can only upgrade schemas for products that are available for upgrade in Oracle Fusion Middleware release 14c (14.1.2.1.0). Do not attempt to upgrade a domain that includes components that are not yet available for upgrade to 14c (14.1.2.1.0).

Shutting Down the Node Managers
Ensure that you have shut down all the local and remote Node Managers before starting the upgrade process.
The Node Managers should remain shut down until you start the WebLogic Administration Server after completing the upgrade. When the WebLogic Administration Server is up and running, start the Node Managers, followed by the Managed Servers.
