Deploying Upgrade to IFS Cloud¶
This page lists the steps you should perform when you do the actual upgrade of your IFS Application instance.
It is assumed that in both Cloud and Remote deployment models, direct access to the database is available during all steps of the upgrade.
For deploying the main upgrade a build_home with populated install tem files has to be available. See Using an existing fresh build_home for upgrade.
Deployment of the pre, post, clear, and drop scripts can be performed with any Oracle tool that can run SQL and SQL scripts, like the IFS Cloud Installer or SQL*Plus. The Pre, and Post scripts might only come in question when going into IFS Cloud from earlier releases.
- When using IFS Cloud Installer, choose the action File Executor and locate the script you want to execute in the manualdeploy folder.
- When using SQL*Plus, execute the scripts from the correct location where the file is stored, i.e. the folder manualdeploy. If the output is spooled to a log file, it will be located in the same folder.
Note for Cloud deployment model:
If an upgraded database has already been uploaded to Use Place and any manual deploy script has to be executed, the script has to be treated as a customization developed in Build Place, created as a re-runnable cdb file.
In this scenario the files in manualdeploy folder can be seen as templates.
