Upgrade Standalone Oracle HTTP Server to 12.2.1.4 – Part 2

After OHS 12.2.1.4 installation and reconfiguration , proceed to upgrade domain and system component configurations to 12.2.1.4.

Ensure JVM character encoding is set to UTF-8 for the platform prior to invoking UA so as not to run into Unicode characters-related upgrade issues.

 

Start the Upgrade Assistant

cd $NEW_ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/upgrade/bin
./ua
