The following are upgrade considerations for the installation and configuration of WebFOCUS:
The Service Pack installation will not remove these directories from the existing installation.
You must create a new file called weblogic.xml in the WEB-INF directory for the WebFOCUS web application. It must contain the following information:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <wls:weblogic-web-app xmlns:wls="http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/ejb-jar_3_0.xsd http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app/1.4/weblogic-web-app.xsd"> <wls:container-descriptor> <wls:prefer-application-packages> <wls:package-name>org.eclipse.persistence</wls:package-name> </wls:prefer-application-packages> </wls:container-descriptor> </wls:weblogic-web-app>
Once the file is saved, you must recreate the .war file by adding it to webfocus.war. The .war file can be renamed based on your naming convention, and then redeployed.
The Run a Stored Procedure and Run an Ad Hoc Procedure pages, available from the WebFOCUS 7.7.x Welcome Page, are not available from the WebFOCUS 8 Welcome Page. Authorized users can run stored procedures and ad hoc requests from the WebFOCUS Reporting Server options, located under the Diagnostics, Verification section in the WebFOCUS Administration Console.

The Shared Libraries > New pane opens, as shown in the following image.
Perform the following steps for each WebFOCUS web application, including when redeployed.
Note: Only the webfocus.war file for the WebFOCUS web application requires this change. The ibi_help.war, approot.war, and ibi_html.war files do not require the changes described in this procedure.
The Enterprise Applications pane opens, as shown in the following image.
In the References area, click Shared library references, as shown in the following image.
The Shared library references pane opens, as shown in the following image.
Note: The WebFOCUS Application being used in this example is called 15215webfocus_war and the Module is called WebFOCUS 8.0.
The Shared Library Mapping pane opens, as shown in the following image.
The IBI Jackson 1.9 shared library is now listed in the Selected area.
Ensure that the IBI Jackson 1.9 shared library for the Module is moved to the Selected area, as shown in the following image.
You are returned to the Shared library references pane, as shown in the following image.
Notice that the new shared library (IBI Jackson 1.9) is now listed in the Shared Libraries column for the Application and Module.
Note: Restarting only the WebFOCUS application will not be sufficient.
