As of January 1st 2021, WebLogic is no longer a supported application server for new customers. We will continue to support existing customers who have installed on WebLogic 12.1.3, but recommend that they move to Tomcat. WebLogic 12.1.3 is no longer supported by Oracle and Flexagon has no plans to support newer versions of WebLogic. |

If you are performing minor Patch Release upgrade, you may have downloaded separate files instead of complete zip, in which case adjust steps accordingly as you will have individual files instead of complete zip. For example, you may have one or more SQL Patch files and new EAR file and some plugin jar files.Also, make sure that you are using JDK 1.8 for application server. |
