AXF 12c Upgrade Patches and FIPSA Components

By: John Schleicher | Sr. Technical Architect

Introduction

This document contains the patch listing that was assembled during a recent Financials Image Processing Solution Accelerator (FIPSA) upgrade where the system was upgraded from 11.1.1.8 (imaging) to 12.2.1.3 release using the standard upgrade process and supplemented by post-upgrade activity to restore the system to full functionality.

The patch listing represents all of the WebLogic server components inclusive of Business Activity Monitoring (BAM)  that were present on the custom solution.   If your system doesn’t include BAM then the additional patches (26404239, 26081565, 28901325) aren’t required.

FIPSA Release

The FIPSA package 12.2.1.3.2 is required for the upgrade as it contains the necessary libraries and archives that are required for the AXF Solution Workspace and Coding form to run in the 12c environment.

Manual Edit

Due to a modification to the central task service engine which affects the SystemAttributes structure a single line edit is required of the InvoiceProcessing.bpel file of the 12.2.1.3.2 FIPSA release.  Presumably, this will be modified by subsequent releases.  Ensure that on line 3411 the reference to task:assigneeUsers/task:id is changed to task:updatedBy/task:id.  This is the least impact solution and may be adjusted in future releases but this has been tested and is working.

Note that active InvoiceProcessing tasks after upgrade cannot use the ‘SaveTask’ AXF action as the old paradigm will be engaged and the process will fault at the noted ‘assigneeUsers’ reference.  It is recommended that the ‘Save Task’ AXF action be disabled via the Imaging Solution Editor to avoid this fault until such time that active workflow instances are no longer present on that baseline.

Patch Listing

Here is an opatch lsinventory listing of the patches applied to the system representing bam, capture, content, soa, and WebLogic:
