New WebLogic Server 12.1.2 Installation and Patching Technology By Monica Riccelli
- by JuergenKress
WebLogic
Server 12.1.2 has many new features, but the first new feature you are
likely to notice is the change in installer technology. WebLogic Server
and Coherence 12.1.2 are installed using Oracle Universal Installer
(OUI) installer technology. We have also changed WebLogic Server
patching technology from SmartUpdate to OPatch, the patching tool used
to patch OUI installations. Note that installation and patching
technology used for prior versions of WebLogic Server has not changed.
The
primary motivation for this change is to provide consistency across the
Oracle stack. Prior to WebLogic Server 12.1.2, Fusion Middleware
customers were required to use different technologies to install and
patch, for example, Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF) with
WebLogic Server. Now users can perform installation and patching across
products more efficiently by using the same technologies, and by using
new installation packages that simplify installation of Fusion
Middleware products with WebLogic Server. Check the YouTube video that
describes how to install WebLogic Server 12.1.2 using the OUI
installer.
The following WebLogic Server distributions are now available on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) under OTN license, and from Oracle Software Delivery Cloud (OSDC) for licensed customers:
wls_121200.jar
- This OUI installer package includes WebLogic Server and Coherence and
is targeted at WebLogic Server users who do not require other Fusion
Middleware components such as ADF. This generic installer can be used to
install WebLogic Server and Coherence on any supported operating
system, and is intended for development or production purposes. This is
available on OTN and OSDC. Read the complete article here.
