Upgrading FlexDeploy - WebLogic

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

WebLogic Support

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.
