FMW 11g Upgrade : Installing Portal and Discoverer MiddleTire - Part 6

FMW 11g Upgrade Master Index

Download the following software's for Portal and Discoverer
Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer (11.1.1.2.0)
Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer (11.1.1.3.0) 
Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer (11.1.1.4.0)

We can apply 11.1.1.2.0 and then apply the 11.1.1.4.0 patchset. But there was bug when using the upgrading assistance to upgrade the discoverer component. I will post the details of the bug here(to be documented).
So the plan is as follows
- apply 11.1.1.2.0 with install software only option
- apply patchset 11.1.1.3.0 with install software only option
- run configuration assistance
- run upgrade assistance 
- upgrade the system to 11.1.1.4.0 or the latest patchset available.

The above steps might be completely replaced with 11.1.1.5.0 is available as it would be a one time installation.

I did not install Portal and Discoverer to 11.1.1.4.0 since there were some issues with the Upgrade Assistance.
