How To Install Gotcha WebLogic Server [10.3. X]

I ran into an issue where I couldn't figure out why I was getting the
following error when running a WebLogic Server 10.3.2 upgrade in silent
mode pert the documentation:

C:\temp\ten_two_domain1>java
weblogic.Upgrade -mode silent -type domain

A fatal error has
occurred. This application will terminate. I thought I had followed the example from http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15523_01/web.1111/e13754/xml_ref.htm#g1066162 perfectly:

Example E-3 Sample Silent-Mode XML Script for Upgrading a Domain
















But, as it turns out, where I wanted to be literal on the SelectWebLogicVersionPlugIn value with 10.2, the correct format is to be a bit broader, with:








9.0 or higher







I hope this saves some folks the time I spent figuring it out :)
