We are upgrading our windchill 11.2 to 12.0.2.5, find some confusion by using windchill 11.2 DS which is using Java 8 to support Windchill 12x. Can someone shed a light on this if you are successfully upgraded your wc to 12 and using openDJ? and the version of openDJ? Any experiences will help. Thank you all very much!

Hello ,

 

I like your post. I too would like to know if someone planning to change their ldaps. We are still managing on Windchill 11 LDAPs. 

 

Thanks!!

Successfully migrated to 12.0.2.2 utilizing OpenDJ 4.4.11.

We used Amazon Corretto for Java:

What steps did you use for the ldap migration. Can you share ?

This is the most useful guide I found from PTC:
https://support.ptc.com/help/wnc/r12.0.2.0/en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/WCUpgrade_UpdatingtootherLDAP.html

 

Install Java, then you can install OpenDJ.

After installation, manually build out the LDAP tree prior to running PSI.

Upgrade Manager moves groups and organizations from LDAP to the database and then deletes them from LDAP; so a WindchillDS instance should be installed also. Refresh your WindchillDS instance from your Windchill 11.2 system and that will be your source LDAP.
