Things good to know about Oracle FMW 11g R1 PS2 (11.1.1.3.0)

1.Before applying 11.1.1.3.0 to SOA or WebCenter, make sure you have patched Oracle WebLogic Server to 10.3.3 (WebLogic 10.3.3 is 11gR1 PS2 for WebLogic)

2.To upgrade WebLogic to 10.3.3 use smart update (BSU), more information here

3.Some schemas [PORTAL, OID, SOAINFRA..] must be updated in database to bring schemas to 11gR1 PS2 i.e. 11.1.1.3.0. Use Patch Set Assistant (PSA) more information hereto patch schemas

4. If you are running components of the Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite (Oracle ECM)11g Release 1 (11.1.1.2.0), then do not apply Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) to your Fusion Middleware environment. The Oracle ECM components that were released with Release 1 (11.1.1.2.0) are not supported in a Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) Oracle Fusion Middleware environment.
