BIP 11G Security Patching

1. Stop BIP and webLogic server from Weblogic Console

http://SERVER_NAME:7001/console

To check if any service is still running use below command and kill it if available

ps –ef | grep BI or ps –ef| grep weblogic

Kill -9 <PID>

2. Take backup of BIP File System before patching:-Make a copy of above folders “user_projects” and “wlserver_10.3”

cp –rp /u01/BIP_11g/user_projects /u01/BIP_11g/user_projects_`date +%d.%m.%Y`

cp –rp /u01/BIP_11g/wlserver_10.3 /u01/BIP_11g/wlserver_10.3_`date +%d.%m.%Y`

3. Get Patch Set Files: - You can get particular/latest patch from:

a. Download the patch 16088411 for 10.3. from My Oracle Support (MOS). For more details, please refer to Master Note: How to Locate and Download Patches for WebLogic Server Using My Oracle Support Note 1302053.1.

b. Copy from backup Location

4. Extract the contents from the zip file: If you are downloading it from oracle Support, you will have a jar file and patch-catalog_xxx.xml. A readme file may also be included.

5. Copy Patch Files: - move L5TD.jar and the patch-catalog.xml from the zip file to the target machine.

To take backup,Rename cache_dir folder

mv /u01/BIP_11g/utils/bsu/cache_dir /u01/BIP_11g/utils/bsu/cache_dir_`date +%d.%m.%Y`

Copy the files to cache_dir

scp -rp sadmin@SERVER_NAME:/u01/DR_Installables/Installers/BIP_SPARC_11g/p16088411_1035_Generic /u01/BIP_11g/utils/bsu/cache_dir

6. Check applied patches as below:- If any patch is already applied, then fist remove patch then install latest patch.

cd /u01/BIP_11g/wlserver_10.3/server/bin

./setWLSEnv.sh

cd /u01/BIP_11g/utils/bsu

./bsu.sh -prod_dir=/u01/BIP_11g/wlserver_10.3 -status=applied -verbose –view

Output:-

As per output, SFAP is already applied. Therefore, you have to remove this patch. To remove patch use below command:-

./bsu.sh -prod_dir=/u01/BIP_11g/wlserver_10.3 -patchlist=SFAP -verbose -remove

7. Run the command to install a new patch:

./bsu.sh -prod_dir=/u01/BIP_11g/wlserver_10.3 -patchlist=L5TD -verbose -install

8. Run command to check if the patch is installed:

./bsu.sh -prod_dir=/u01/BIP_11g/wlserver_10.3 -status=applied -verbose -view

9. Cache Clear: - Clear cache by taking backup of tmp and cache file:

bi_server1

mv /u01/BIP_11g/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/bi_server1/tmp /u01/BIP_11g/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/bi_server1/tmp_`date +%d.%m.%Y`

mv /u01/BIP_11g/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/bi_server1/cache /u01/BIP_11g/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/bi_server1/cache_`date +%d.%m.%Y`

AdminServer

mv /u01/BIP_11g/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/AdminServer/tmp /u01/BIP_11g/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/AdminServer/tmp_`date +%d.%m.%Y`

mv /u01/BIP_11g/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/AdminServer/cache /u01/BIP_11g/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/AdminServer/cache_`date +%d.%m.%Y`

10. Restart WebLogic Server: - login to VNC viewer with sadmin and execute below commands in separate terminals

To Start Weblogic Admin Console

cd /u01/BIP_11g/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/bin

./startWebLogic.sh

To Start Node Manager

cd /u01/BIP_11g/wlserver_10.3/server/bin

./startNodeManager.sh

11. Start BI Publisher Server
