Upgrade Suggestions from Engineering

• If upgrading from 11.1.1.6 (or before), should go to 12.2.1

– Has many backward compatibility fixes to allow XSLTs

to upgrade without change. Need following two properties

set at startup to turn on backward compatibility mode:-Doracle.xdkjava.compatibility.version=11.1.1

-Doracle.soa.compatibility.version=11.1.1

• Perform pre-analysis for upgrade areas of complexity:

– Do you use custom DB scripts for purge, partitioning,

etc? (will have to be re-mapped to 12)

– Custom code using SOA locator APIs

– Do you have significant performance tuning in 11g?

(re-do performance tuning exercise with 12c)


宠Ԏ

Surveys: 12c Upgrade and Feedback

• When you upgrade or prepare to upgrade, please fill out:

– www.surveymonkey.com/r/soa-12c-upgrade

• Some interesting trends from responses so far:

– Most people do side-by-side upgrade, go straight to 12.2.1

– Many challenges are around configurations for upgrade (probably

a side effect of aboveJ) and SRs (likely worst for early adopters)

– Easiest things are code migration and new install for side-by-side

– Most common components to upgrade SCA/BPEL, Service Bus

and OWSM, followed by Rules and BAM, smattering of B2B/other

• Please ask questions throughout via chat!

• And after this session, please fill out the feedback survey:

Upgrade Best Practices

Ҁӳ


SOA Suite 11g -> 12c Upgrade Basics

• Choose in-place domain upgrade and re-configuration or side-by-side upgrade with new install / config / deploy

• For 12c features, open 11g projects in 12c JDeveloper

• Can upgrade to 12.1.3 or straight to 12.2.1

• Prerequisites:

– Starting point: SOA Suite 11.1.1.6, 11.1.1.7 or 11.1.1.9 or 12.1.3 only

– 64-bit OS and JVM – must be supported version

– Dehydration store DB must be supported version – 11g or 12c

– OPSS must migrate to use DB or LDAP based policy store

3

란α


• In-Place Upgrade

– Install SOA Suite 12c software in a new Oracle Home

– Upgrade domain and DB in-place

– Rewire domain to new Oracle Home

– No need to redeploy composites

– See support note 2084555.1 if you have AIA

• Side by Side Upgrade

– Install SOA Suite 12c software in a new Oracle Home.

– Create new DB schemas

– Create new domain

– Configure domain and DB from scratch

– Deploy all composites

– Switch clients/load balancer to new domain

SOA 12c Upgrade Process

• Step 1: Pre-Upgrade steps

– Run pre-upgrade check, back-up 11g environment

– Install 12c products along-side 11g

– Any component-specific pre-upgrade steps

• Step 2: Upgrade itself

– Run RCU to create new 12c schemas

– Run upgrade assistant (UA) to upgrade 11g component schemas

– Run re-configuration wizard on 11g domain

– Run UA to upgrade product-specific (i.e. SOA in this case) domain configuration

• Step 3: Post-Upgrade steps

– Execute any component-specific post-upgrade manual steps

– For other machines in domain, so pack/unpack to replicate domain configuration

– Start the upgraded servers

6

獰δ


A Few Component-Specific Comments

• Instance Data Upgrade

– UA upgrades active instances to continue execution in 12c

– Purge strongly recommended prior to upgrade

– Stale instances not upgraded, completed instances can be upgraded during upgrade or later, during downtime

• Service Bus 12c Upgrade

– Export project before upgrade and import after upgrade

– Migration from Eclipse to JDeveloper happens with Import/Export – prepare for this change

• BAM 12c Upgrade

– Major architecture changes in 12c – Data Objects migrated but not dashboards/alerts

– Can either create new dashboards and alerts in 12c or keep 11g BAM dashboards running and connect to it via supported interop between BAM 11g �� SOA 12c

7

獰δ


• Need to export and delete all Service Bus metadata before upgrade and import after upgrade

• Need to deploy OWSM before upgrade

• Need to use OWSM policies instead of WLS WS-Security policies

– WLS policies in wsdl in 11g

• Need to use OWSM auth policies instead of Xacml

– Xacml policies visible in 11g console

• Run time may work without changes, but not design time

• Benefits:

– Integrated JDeveloper experience after upgrade

– Oracle standard ADF UI for console after upgrade

– FMWControl like other Oracle products to manage

– Service Bus included in JDev integrated server for easier development

Service Bus manual steps in In-Place Upgrade

• Need to systematically copy over configurations from the old domain to the new domain

– JMS artifacts config

– Datasource config

– JCA adapter config

– Work Manager/threads config

– Custom J2EE apps

– WLS config

– SOA config

– SOA shared metadata

– SOA composites/Service Bus projects

– DT@RT customizations

– Custom OWSM Policies

– Custom OPSS policies/roles/keys/certs

• If you already have automation in place to create new domain and deploy all the config, you could leverage this

9

Side by Side Upgrade – Best Practices

獰δ


• Carefully check prerequisites

• Run the upgrade readiness check before starting (12.2.1)

• Plan carefully and thoroughly test upgrade on a system similar to production. Could use T2P to create it.

• Test composites thoroughly without redeploying after upgrade of test system and determine tuning to be applied.

• BAM upgrade is more complex – read documentation carefully and plan.

• Test composites thoroughly after migrating them in Jdeveloper after upgrade of test system. Could use OjMigrate to bulk Migrate composites

• Speed up upgrade by purging unneeded instances before upgrade.

• Make sure enough disk space is available for upgrade.

• If issues are encountered, potentially long delays for support. Budget enough time.

In-Place Upgrade – Best Practices

獰δ


Upgrade Troubleshooting Suggestions

• Reconfig of domain fails

– Have you read the prerequisites?

– Have you read the upgrade support notes on workarounds (example Knowledgebase Document 1958724.1)

– Are you using non standard configurations different from EDG? Focus of upgrade testing was EDG.

• Server does not start after upgrade

– Something went wrong in the upgrade.

– Have you read the upgrade support notes on workarounds?

– Did you carefully examine logs?

• Composites don’t behave the same after upgrade

– Maximum effort has been expended to make everything backwards compatible, but there may be corner cases.

– Service Infrastructure API are not all backwards compatible.

– Tuning is very different in 12c with use of work managers in SOA

– Flow ID changes may impact composites setting composite title

3. Decide on an upgrade strategy that fits to your requirements

In-Place Upgrade

Schemas and domain directory upgrades are performed "in place" (updates existing 11g files)

Oracle Home binaries are upgraded "out of place" (binaries are installed in a new directory)

No need to redeploy composites after upgrade

Suitable for long running instances which should resume after upgrade

Side-by-Side Upgrade

New installation of schemas and domains

New deployment & configuration of the existing 11g projects

Suitable in stateless & short-running scenarios

Appropriate if the targeted sytem architecture should be diferent than with 11g or if the current topology is not

supported

4. Pre-Upgrade Tasks Complete all applicable tasks from the Pre-Upgrade Checklist

Check if your To-Be Topology is supported

Perform General Pre-Upgrade Tasks

Perform the SOA-Specific Pre-Upgrade Tasks

Perform the Pre-Upgrade Tasks for Oracle BAM

Perform the Pre-Upgrade Tasks for Oracle Service Bus (OSB)

Validate your starting point which has to be 11.1.1.6 (PS5) or 11.1.1.7 (PS6)

Calculate system requirements (Memory, Disk Space, Network, OS)

Make a complete backup of your existing environment

Make sure that DB, OS and JVM are supported and apply recommended database parameters on the new

installation

Save copies of customized start scripts, configuration files, policies

Upgrade Process | Step-by-Step - Code Upgrade

10. Verify your results (Test) Testing before and after the upgrade is the key to success!

Define and document all testcases in advance

Make sure that you have a complete test approach in place bevore you start your upgrade

Esablish a test approach that covers all relevant test layers (Elementary Unit Tests, Component Tests, End-to-End Tests)

We decided to build our own OC testing framework based on JUnit Standard and SOA Suite APIs to integrate it within other implementations and to establish a proper test-driven development

This allows us to

use the same test approach for BPEL, BPMN, OSB, Java, Human Tasks, XSLT and XQuery…

re-route external references to a mock service implemented in the same framework (in Java) including changing references to standard web services so that database or file adapters can also be mocked

Human task handling (finishing the human task with a predefined outcome and predefined values)

Smooth integration into continuous integration environment

Straight Forward

Code upgrade with standard composites (using

BPEL, Database and File adapters) Testcases

successfully completed without any manual rework

Database Adapter for stored procedure calls

performed well after upgrade

Successfully transferred config changes like JTA

Transaction Timeout, Transaction Timeout of Beans

and SyncMaxWaitTime

Enabling of new Auto Purge function to avoid

Database growth

Deployment via Maven

What we‘ve learned…

Prepare for more complexity

Upgrading from Oracle BAM 11g to BAM 12c cannot be

handled with the standard upgrade procedures

OWSM / JDeveloper and Custom Policies because of

deprecated functions

HA Infrastructure setup took longer than our code

Best Practices

High test coverage: define testcases well in advance and compare results before and after the

upgrade

Use a test framework that allows efficient (re-)execution of testcases for OSB and SOA -

including Mocks, Component and End-to-End Tests (e.g. OC Testframework)

Testing and pre-upgrade steps are the key points of success

Documentation about changed configuration parameters is important (document before

upgrade)

Plan the Infrastructure upgrade well in advance

Install BAM on a separate WLS domain to decouple runtime and monitoring cmponents from

patching cycles (reduce downtimes)

Consider BAM Best Practices from the beginning

Code upgrade

• There are no changes to the BPEL, BPM, Rules, HWF and other components from a development perspective

• No need to redevelop or rewrite code as was the case in a 10g-11g upgrade

• Import BPEL and OSB projects into 12c Jdev and projects will be converted to 12c SCA projects

–OSB projects while in a SCA are still considered independent OSB projects (i.e. at the moment cannot have other components in the SCA project)

– No impact on BPEL projects

Side by Side upgrade do’s and don’ts Do’s • Define a cutover strategy and make sure the business is aligned with the cutover

• Plan your upgrade cutover meticulously with the operations team

– Play out the cut over with proper fallback scenarios in case of a failed cutover

– Keep backups of the older system

– Define how long the 11g system will be up and running (how long will it take to shut down 11g). This will help plan how much operational support is required

– Can shut down some managed servers (reduce the 11g cluster) since most of the load will be on 12c

– Learn 12c from an operational standpoint!! (best way is to play with it and learn the differences in the UI)



Side by Side upgrade do’s and don’ts Do’s

• Make sure your 12c cluster is set up correctly using all the proper EDG best practices: (https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1221/core/SOEDG.pdf)

• If you are using a 12c DB, make sure DB is tuned properly before going live (use 11g DB performance tuning guide as a starting point (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/soasuite/learnmore/psrsoadbperformance-1919499.pdf )

• Use DB partitioning if appropriate (12c large profile sets up DB partitioning OOTB)

• Conduct a full functional regression exercise

• Conduct a full performance exercise (since 12c tuning is different to 11g)

• Test, Test, Test!! (https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1213/soasuite/soasuite-monitortune.htm)

https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1213/soasuite/soasuite-monitortune.htm




Side by Side upgrade do’s and don’ts Don’ts

• Presume that 11g and 12c work the same way – operationally and performance wise (tuning knobs are different) they are different

• Don’t set up 11g and 12c on the same DB (unless the DB machine has a lot of CPU)

• Don’t forget to train the operational team on the benefits of the EM console – introduction of FLOW_ID, new search, new ESS feature – important to learn these new features

Code upgrade






• Note that in 12c both OSB and BPEL use Work Managers now

– https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1221/core/ASPER/soa_infra.htm#ASPER99940

– Thread pooling and performance tuning more inline with traditional WLS tuning

– This implies that 12c tuning has to be done independently of 11g tuning

– If using the OOTB WM scheme SOADataSource datasource sizing needs to be closely monitored and tweaked (note that this can be tweaked independently as well by playing with the SOAMaxThreadsConfig parameter in EM)

• Tuning process is simplified in 12c

• In most cases, the default settings will work and, if needed, only the size of the SOADatasource or the ratio of the thread pool sizes will need to be adjusted

• JVM, GC, Adapter, OSB and DB tuning stays unchanged
