Modifying Startup Scripts

To upgrade a cluster of servers, follow the above steps for each server and then follow the steps outlined in Setting Up WebLogic Clusters in Using WebLogic Server Clusters. In cases where you invoke an application by using RMI/T3 or RMI/IIOP, WebLogic Server 6.1 and 7.0 are interoperable. Within a domain, however, all servers must be of the same version.

For information on upgrading WebLogic Server license files, see Upgrading Licenses from Previous WebLogic Server Releases in the Installation Guide.

Modifying Startup Scripts

If you used WebLogic Server startup scripts with a previous version of the product, modify them to work with WebLogic Server 7.0.

Modify the startup scripts as described here. For another example of how to modify the startup scripts, see “Upgrading the Pet Store Application and the Examples Server”.

Modify the startup scripts as described here.

1. Modify bea.home property

to point to your BEA home directory containing the license.bea file for WebLogic Server 7.0. For example:

-Dbea.home=C:\bea700

2.Modify WL_HOME

must point to your WebLogic Server 7.0 installation directory. For example:

WL_HOME=c:\bea700\weblogic700

3. Modify PATH

so that it includes your %WL_HOME% 7.0 home. For example:

PATH=%WL_HOME%\bin;%PATH%

4.Modify CLASSPATH

so that it points to the WebLogic Server 7.0 classes. For example:

CLASSPATH=%WL_HOME%\lib\weblogic_sp.jar;%WL_HOME%\lib\weblog ic.jar
