Complete Post-Upgrade Tasks
Oracle upgrades your Oracle Integration Generation 2 development instances first. Complete all post-upgrade tasks within three days of the upgrade date, so that you can report any issues. Oracle upgrades your production instances about two weeks after your development instances.
Completing post-upgrade tasks is critical to make sure users can access the new instance, data going to and from integrations can be sent through the firewall, and integrations work as expected.
If you experience any issues after the upgrade, enter a service request (SR) on My Oracle Support or troubleshoot the issues. See Troubleshoot Upgrade Issues.
You'll see your stopped Oracle Integration Generation 2 instance in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console for a period of time after the upgrade. Do not update, start, or delete this instance. Oracle removes it on your behalf when it is no longer needed.

---|---|---|---|
Check the new Oracle Integration 3 instance |
Administrator | Immediately after upgrade | Sign in to your Oracle Integration 3 instance using your existing credentials. Use your existing Oracle Integration Generation 2 bookmark (which redirects to the new URL) or use the new URL for the Oracle Integration 3 instance. See Access an Oracle Integration Instance.
The upgrade completed if the interface looks like this: The upgrade is still in progress if:
|
Update the IAM policy with the new OCID |
IAM policy administrator |
Immediately after upgrade | If your organization restricted access to the Oracle Integration Generation 2 instance based on the instance's Oracle Cloud ID (OCID), update the IAM policy to point to the new Oracle Integration 3 instance OCID.
Caution: Users won't be able to sign in to Oracle Integration 3 until you update the OCID in the IAM policy.
|
Configure an IAM policy for Visual Builder |
Administrator | Immediately after upgrade | If you used Visual Builder in Oracle Integration Generation 2, you need to configure an IAM policy for Visual Builder in Oracle Integration 3. See Set the IAM Policy for Managing the Visual Builder Instance. |
Get the URL for the new instance and share it |
Administrator | Immediately after upgrade | Get the URL for the new Oracle Integration 3 instance and share it with everyone who needs it. Existing bookmarks also redirect to the new URL, but you want to make sure everyone has the new URL. This is in the following format:
To get the new URL:
|
Ensure Connectivity
Task | Who | When | Tasks to complete |
---|---|---|---|
Complete network rules configuration |
Network administrator | Prior to upgrade or immediately after upgrade | If any of your integration connections target an Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure service that supports network rules, such as Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure Object Storage or Oracle Autonomous Database, and you've enabled those rules, you must complete any network rules configuration, including adding the Oracle Integration Service VCN to the rule.
|
Upload new identity certificates for connections |
Developer with connections that use identity certificates
Only one person from your organization needs to perform these steps |
Immediately after upgrade | Identity certificates establish client identity during two-way SSL communication. Connections that are based on the AS2 Adapter and the REST Adapter can use identity certificates.
If your instance includes connections that use identity certificates, perform the following steps:
|
Regain connectivity with agents that weren't upgraded |
Developer with agents that weren't upgraded | Immediately after upgrade | Agents that were offline during upgrade or didn't meet upgrade requirements weren't upgraded. After upgrade, if you see a message stating that some agents didn't meet upgrade eligibility and weren't upgraded, perform the following steps.
Prerequisites Ensure connectivity from your connectivity agents to Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) and Oracle Integration 3:
To manually upgrade your agents and regain connectivity with them:
|
File Server: add the File Server IP address to your internal firewall allowlist |
File Server administrator and developer | Within one week of upgrade | If your organization restricts the sites that internal resources can access, add the new File Server IP address to your internal firewall allowlist.
The Oracle Integration Generation 2 IP address continues working for four months after the upgrade, and then Oracle retires them. However, Oracle recommends updating your firewall allowlist to use the new IP address now. That way, you don't risk forgetting to update the allowlist in the future. To get the File Server IP address:
|
File Server: update integrations and SFTP clients to use the new IP and port values |
File Server administrator and developer | Within one week of upgrade | If you use File Server, update your integrations and SFTP clients so that they use the new IP and port values.
The Oracle Integration Generation 2 IP and port values continue working for four months after the upgrade, and then Oracle retires them. However, Oracle recommends updating your integrations and SFTP clients to use the new values now. That way, you don't risk forgetting to update these values in the future.
|
Ensure Integrations Work
Task | Who | When | Details |
---|---|---|---|
Change Oracle Integration built-in API calls from Basic Authentication to OAuth |
Developer | Prior to upgrade or immediately after upgrade | If you didn't already update your API calls to use OAuth while completing prerequisites or pre-upgrade tasks, do so immediately after upgrade.
In Oracle Integration Generation 2, you could use Basic Authentication to use the Oracle Integration REST API and File Server REST API. In Oracle Integration 3, you must use OAuth. You need to update any clients, scripts, integrations, and commands that use the Oracle Integration REST API or the File Server REST API to connect using OAuth. For more information on authentication method support, see When is Basic Auth Supported in Oracle Integration 3. For details on using OAuth with the Oracle Integration REST API, see Security, Authentication, and Authorization, or with the File Server REST API, see Security, Authentication, and Authorization. |
Check integrations if you selected Ignore activation failures or Ignore start schedule failures |
Administrator | Immediately after upgrade | If you configured your upgrade settings to proceed with the upgrade even if Oracle couldn't activate an integration or restart a schedule, take the appropriate steps:
|
Take care of any requests that were rejected during the upgrade downtime |
Designated team members | Immediately after upgrade |
Oracle Integration rejected all requests that were sent during the upgrade downtime. If needed, take action on requests that any clients sent to Oracle Integration during the downtime. |
Complete Post-Upgrade Tasks for Process Automation
Perform the following steps to complete migration to Process Automation in Oracle Integration 3.
If you performed a manual migration of actively-used process applications, you don't need to perform these post-upgrade tasks.
Application-Level Post-Upgrade Tasks for Process Automation
Perform the following tasks for each Process application.
Task | Who | When | Details |
---|---|---|---|
Update role mappings |
Developer/Administrator | Immediately after upgrade | Role assignments have changed in Oracle Integration 3, so you must map your existing roles to the new roles. See Configure Roles for Process Applications in Using Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure Process Automation.
Process owners Add members who had the following roles to the Process Owner role in the new application:
Process reviewers Add members who had the Members with swimlane roles Add members who had a Groups Change the old group to a role in the new application, and either add the group to the new role or add the members of the group to the new role. Roles Change the old role to a role in the new application, and add members to the new role. Members who can start a process In the process start properties, select the members who can start the process from one of the following options:
Dynamic process roles Add members who had dynamic process roles to the dynamic process roles in the new application. |
Update connector credentials |
Developer/Administrator | Immediately after upgrade | Credentials aren't migration to Oracle Integration 3, so you must reconfigure authentication for your REST connectors. If there are multiple applications connecting to the same server you may want to create a global credential that can then be reused across applications. See Configure Basic Auth Security in Using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Process Automation. |
Fix any errors and warnings |
Developer/Administrator | Immediately after upgrade | Because there are differences in process features between Oracle Integration Generation 2 and Oracle Integration 3, you'll need to validate your application and fix any errors or warnings. See "How are applications validated?" in Applications at a Glance in Using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Process Automation. |
Activate application |
Developer/Administrator | Immediately after upgrade | After you've resolved all validation errors, activate your application so new instances can be triggered and worked on. See Activate Applications in Using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Process Automation. |
Access Mapping Post-Upgrade Tasks for Process Automation
Some access mapping tasks are completed automatically during upgrade and some are your responsibility.
During upgrade, a new Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) App is added to help with mapping.
The following IDCS roles are automatically mapped from Oracle Integration Generation 2 to Oracle Integration 3 during upgrade.
Oracle Integration Generation 2 | Oracle Integration 3 |
---|---|
ServiceDeveloper | ServiceDeveloper |
ServiceAdministrator | ServiceAdministrator |
ServiceUser | N/A |
ServiceMonitor | N/A |
ServiceDeployer | ServiceDeployer |
ServiceViewer | N/A |
ServiceInvoker | N/A |
ServiceEndUser | N/A |
Service-Level Post-Upgrade Tasks for Process Automation
Depending on how you use Process, you'll perform different service-level steps after upgrade to Oracle Integration 3. Perform any steps that apply to your implementation.
Task | Who | When | Details |
---|---|---|---|
Allowlist the new Process Automation URL |
Developer | Immediately after upgrade |
Add the new Process Automation URL to your allowlists. To find the new URL, click Process in the Oracle Integration 3 menu. You'll be redirected to the Process Automation URL. |
Update integrations to call Process Automation |
Developer | Immediately after upgrade |
Process APIs and endpoints have changed after the upgrade. As a result, you must update any integrations that use the Process action to use the REST adapter instead. See REST API for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Process Automation. |
Update Visual Builder applications to call Process Automation |
Developer | Immediately after upgrade |
Process APIs and endpoints have changed after the upgrade. As a result, you must update any Visual Builder application that calls Process, replacing any deprecated interaction patterns. See Connect to Oracle Process Automation APIs in Building Responsive Applications with Visual Builder Studio. |
Update external clients to call Process Automation |
Developer | Immediately after upgrade |
If you're using Process CCA components in external applications, they won't work after the upgrade to Oracle Integration 3. You must transition to using the new Process Automation CCA components to leverage the APIs. See REST API for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Process Automation. |
Share the new Process Automation URL |
Administrator | Immediately after upgrade |
The URL used to access and interact with Process Automation has changed after the upgrade. Share the new URL with anyone who needs to administer Process Automation, start a new process, or view and act on their tasks. |
