This chapter covers the process to upgrade a WebLogic FlexDeploy installation.

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.


Revisit startup parameters (JVM Arguments) for WebLogic server as defined in Installation for Weblogic.

Also, make sure that you are using JDK 1.8 for application server.
