OIM Upgrade: OIM 11g R2 PS1 to OIM 11g R2 PS2

There are two ways to upgrade your OIM from OIM 11g R2 PS1 to OIM 11g R2 PS2:

1. Manual
2. Automated (i.e through Deployment Tool)

 But Automated way can ONLY be used if you have setup your existing environment using Deployment Tool. You can get more details about this on Oracle site.


For my case, I did this upgrade through Manual procedure. Here are the high level steps for upgrading OIM 11g R2 PS1 (11.1.2.1.x) to OIM 11g R2 PS2 (11.1.2.2.0):

1	JVM Configuration for Oracle Identity Manager Server (Weblogic)
2	Shutdown All The Servers
3	Upgrade Weblogic to 10.3.6 (Not Required If You Are Already Using  10.3.6)
4	Upgrade SOA Suite to 11.1.1.7.0 (Not Required If You Are Already Using  11.1.1.7.0)
5	Upgrade Oracle Identity Manager Binaries (Installation of OIM 11.1.2.2.0 on Existing OIM Home)
6	Upgrade OIM, MDS, SOAINFRA, OPSS, ORASDPM Schemas
7	Upgrade Oracle Platform Security Services
8	Upgrade Java Required Files
9	Upgrade OIM Through OIMUpgrade Utility (Start Admin and SOA Servers Before this Step)
