    Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Firefox. I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I figured I'd post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Cheers

Migration of Oracle SOA Suite Composite from 11g to 12c

Recently I have came across a scenario where I have a business requirement of  migration of Oracle SOA Suite 11g(11.1.1.7.0) to 12c(12.1.3.0). Below are the different mechanisms I have tried to do, few of them failed and one succeeded. Working in Oracle SOA Suite 11g is completely different from 12c. In 11g, we need to install the jDeveloper(11.1.1.7) then SOA extension separately to be installed either via offline file  (download available at  https://www.oracle.com/ocom/groups/public/@otn/documents/webcontent/156082.xml ) or through jDeveloper top menu >>  Help >> Check for Updates >> SOA Extension.  While working with 12c doesn't involves such tedious job. Only single installer is required for jDeveloper/SOA/Weblogic and is available as QuickStart Installer(download available at https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/soasuite/downloads/index.html). Approach 1- Compress(Zip) SOA composite code of 11g version (11.1.1.7.0) and unzip to a differe
