12.2.2.4 is released, so let’s upgrade WLS to 12.2.1.3–or NOT

MTR’s say that we are good to go:

Nice to put on the latest, but…

Then I find:

https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/12213/wls/WLUPG/intro.htm#WLUPG107

and…

Note:

As of WebLogic Server 12.1.2, Oracle no longer provides upgrade installers. You must install WebLogic Server 12.2.1.3.0 to a new directory location. You cannot install it over an existing installation.

Doh!  I thought that there might be a nice little (or big) opatch that I could apply – but it seems that things are a little more difficult than that.

I’m trying to solve an issue with 9.2.2.4 and WLS 12.2.1.2 on OEL that is not allowing me to login to JDE, getting stuck threads on the login page:

####<Apr 17, 2018, 1:11:22,535 PM AEST> <Error> <WebLogicServer> <ip-10-10-1-235.ap-southeast-2.compute.internal> <IOT_AISWEB_9201> <[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '4' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'> <<WLS Kernel>> <> <00c06b7e-0c5a-4892-b8bb-79a54660fc84-0000001e> <1523934682535> <[severity-value: 8] [rid: 0] [partition-id: 0] [partition-name: DOMAIN] > <BEA-000337> <[STUCK] ExecuteThread: '8' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)' has been busy for "708" seconds working on the request "Http Request Information: weblogic.servlet.internal.ServletRequestImpl@5d9d6b3e[POST /jde/E1Menu.maf]

Yet when I install this on 12.2.1.1 – all works fine.

I’ve applied a bunch of patches to try and get it working (including 26860993), oh after removing others

/Oracle_Home/OPatch/opatch rollback -id 26485996

/Oracle_Home/OPatch/opatch rollback -id 24521759

but still no logging into JDE – stuck during login.

So, I may try more patching or a new instance at 12.2.1.3 and see if I can login to JAS

Let me know if you have the same issue.
