12.1.2 to 12.1.3 upgrade on Solaris

We have recently upgrade our instances to 12.1.3. Here is what we did.

1) 10.1.3.5.0 patch 8626084
2) From Apps tier Source $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/sid_hostname.env file to set $ORACLE_HOME as 10.1.3 home.
3) cd /8626084/Disk1
4) ./runInstaller -invPtrLoc $ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc
5) On fourth screen it will ask for oc4jadmin password. Kindly put "oafm".
6) Stop opmn processes, keeping same 10.1.3 env.
$ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl stopall
7) Unzip patch p6880880_101000_SOLARIS64.zip in 10.1.3 and 10.1.2 OH to have latest opatch version.
8) Run Autoconfig on both Apps nodes.
9) apply patch p8999551_101350_Generic.zip in 10.1.3 home via opatch :
opatch apply
10) Confirm patchset version:
Run the command 'opatch lsinventory -detail'
Look for 'Oracle Application Server PatchSet' in the 'Product' column. 'Version' should show 10.1.3.5.0.
11) Now apply apps patches, enable Maintenance Mode via adamin
12) Apply patch p9239089_R12.AD.B_R12_SOLARIS64.zip
Create $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/admin on the database server.
Copy adgrants.sql (UNIX) from this patch directory to
$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/admin
Set the environment to point to ORACLE_HOME on the database server
Login as sysdba and run
SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/admin/adgrants.sql APPS
13) Apply patch 9239090 12.1.3 patch. (Take 5-6 hrs)
14) Apply online help patch p9239095_R12_GENERIC.zip
15) Apply post patches p9817770_R12.ATG_PF.B_R12_SOLARIS64.zip and p9966055_R12.FND.B_R12_GENERIC.zip
16) Run autoconfig on both Apps tier
17) Run the admkappsutil.pl utility to create the file appsutil.zip in the
/admin/out directory
perl $AD_TOP/bin/admkappsutil.pl
18) On Database tier copy this file
19) And unzip in OH cd
unzip -o appsutil.zip
20) Run autoconfig on DB Tier
21) Run adpreclone on both DB Tier and Apps Tier
perl adpreclone.pl dbTier
perl adpreclone.pl appsTier
22) Disable Maintenance Mode via adamin
23) Needs to deploy forms before starting services on apps tier
24) Stop all the Application Services
cd $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME
adstpall.sh
25) Back up the original system-jazn-data.xml file.
cp $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/j2ee/forms/config/system-jazn-data.xml $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/j2ee/forms/config/system-jazn-data.xml.orig
26) Add the following :
vi $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/j2ee/forms/config/system-jazn-data.xml
========= file snippet original =================

oc4jadmin
OC4J Administrator
oc4jadmin

27) Back up the original opmn.xml file
cp $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/opmn/conf/opmn.xml $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.3/opmn/conf/opmn.xml.orig
28) Add the following line:
ipaddr remote="realhost.domain.com" request="virtualhost.domain.com"
as
notification-server interface="ipv4"
ipaddr remote="realhost.domain.com" request="virtualhost.domain.com"
port local="#local_port" remote="#remote_port" request="#request_port"
29) Run the deployment script
$FND_TOP/bin/txkrun.pl -script=CfgOC4JAppEnter
Application name for re-deployment ? forms
Enter Oc4j Instance password for re-deployment ? welcome
Run Autoconfig ? No
30) Restore both system-jazn-data.xml and opmn.xml from the backup taken under step 25 and 27 respectively
31) Run autoconfig
$ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adautocfg.sh
32) Start the services.
$ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adstrtal.sh apps/appspwd

Once done, you will be able to access forms now on 12.1.3.
Happy Troubleshooting !!!
