11.2 Oracle Workflow Upgrade Tasks

Follow these steps to upgrade Oracle Workflow from from Oracle9iAS Release 1 (v1.0.2.2) to Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4):

  1. Install Oracle Workflow with 10g (9.0.4), including all pre- and post- installation steps as described in the Oracle Application Server InterConnect Installation Guide or the Oracle Workflow Installation Notes for Oracle Content Management SDK.

    The installation updates the Oracle Workflow server version in the database. See the Oracle Application Server InterConnect Installation Guide or the Oracle Workflow Installation Notes for Oracle Content Management SDK for detailed information.

  2. Perform all Oracle Workflow setup steps for your 10g (9.0.4) installation as described in the "Setting Up Oracle Workflow" chapter of the Oracle Workflow Administrator's Guide. In particular, ensure that you:

    • Set your global Workflow preferences appropriately.

    • Set up a directory service for Oracle Workflow.

    • Configure the Workflow Notification Mailer using the Workflow Manager component of Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g. Note that in 10g (9.0.4), the Workflow Notification Mailer is run through Workflow Manager as a Java-based service component, and is no longer configured through a separate text configuration file.

  3. Copy all customized files from the source Oracle home to the destination Oracle home. Customized files may include:

    • Workflow process definition files (.wft files located in <destination_MT_OH>/wf/res/<lang>)

    • Business Event System definition files (.wfx files located in <destination_MT_OH>/wf/res/<lang>)


      Note:

      In 10g (9.0.4), Business Event System definition files have the extension .wfx, rather than .xml.

    • SQL scripts (.sql files located in <destination_MT_OH>/wf/sql)

    • Custom help files (.htm files located in <destination_MT_OH>/wf/doc/<lang>/wfcust or .hlp files located in <destination_MT_OH>/wf/res/<lang>)
