1 Upgrading WebLogic Server 6.x to Version 7.0

5.Modify or eliminate any WebLogic Server 6.x startup script directory structure tests. For example, if your script tries to verify a relative path, either fix the directory structure test or remove it.

WebLogic Server 7.0 installs the JVM, JDK 1.3.1_02, with the server installation. The setenv.sh scripts provided with the server all point to the JVM. The latest information regarding certified JVMs is available at the Certifications Page.

Understanding the WebLogic Server 7.0 Directory Structure

The directory structure in WebLogic Server 7.0 is different from that of 6.x. For complete information on the updated directory structure see Understanding the WebLogic Server Directory Structure in Performing Post-Installation Tasks in the Installation Guide.

If you are booting your WebLogic Server 6.x domain with the WebLogic Server 7.0 environment, the new directory structure is created automatically. However, if you have custom tools or scripts that rely on the WebLogic Server 6.x domain directory structure, you need to update those tools relative to the new directory structure. Similarly, if you have a scripted tool for creating domains in the WebLogic Server 6.x environment, you will have to change those scripts. It is best to use the Configuration Wizard which can be scripted.

Porting an Application from WebLogic Server 6.x to WebLogic Server 7.0

Note: Throughout this document, the directory of the new WebLogic Server 7.0 domain that is created is referred to as domain.

Use the following steps to port WebLogic 6.x applications on WebLogic Server 7.0:
