The following section provides requirements for BEA products supported on this configuration:
Note: IBM TL (Technology Level) replaces ML (Maintenance Level). Note: "+" after the TL version number indicates that this and higher versions of Technology Levels and latest Service Packs are supported. |
|
For information on the minimum JRE version that is supported for POWER7, please refer to the IBM SDK POWER7 support information page. |

If you are using WebLogic Integration and IBM JDK 1.5 SR9, you may get com.bea.transform.TransformException for operations involving transformation of Non-XML to XML elements. This problem was not seen in IBM JDK 1.5 SR8a.
IBM has released a Timezone Update Utility to update DST data without the need to upgrade Java. See IBM Time Zone Update Utility for JavaTM.
The following sections provide information on known issues in WebLogic Server on AIX:
The IIOP thin client is not supported on AIX due to dependencies on the JVM. Only thin-client applications are affected by this issue.
Workaround: Run WebLogic Server on AIX and your thin client on another operating system.
A Serial Version UID Mismatch Issue is encountered if you deploy an application on a latest JVM, but compiled with previous Service Refresh of IBM Java 5 JDK.
Workaround: To be compatible with the serialization of previously compiled applications, modify the <BEA_HOME>/wlserver_10.0/common/bin/commEnv.sh
file to include the following command:
JAVA_OPTIONS="$JAVA_OPTIONS -Dcom.sun.xml.namespace.QName.useCompatibleSerialVersionUID=1.0"
Alternatively, you can use the command line option:
export
IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dcom.sun.xml.namespace.QName.useCompatibleSerialVersionUID=1.0"
Note: If you intend to deploy new applications with previously compiled applications, they must be recompiled as necessary to have the same Serial Version UID.
The weblogic.aspects.AspectJClassLoader
is not supported on AIX using IBM Java 5.
Workaround: You are advised not to use this class loader.
Using the JVM debug mode with the IBM JVM significantly degrades application performance. Therefore, whenever you run WebLogic Portal on an AIX configuration, BEA strongly recommends that you disable the JVM debug mode (default setting for WebLogic Platform). Disabling debug mode is recommended for all domains, including existing domains and those domains created using the Configuration Wizard.
To disable JVM debug mode, do one of the following:
bin
directory under the target domain directory, use a text editor to open the setDomainEnv.sh
file. Search for the first occurrence of debugFlag=true
and replace it with debugFlag=false
. nodebug
command-line argument to the server startup script. For example: $ ./startWebLogic.sh nodebug
An xml schema factory validation error is encountered when IBM JDK fails to return the platform default schema factory because of a preconfigured property file format.
Workaround: Modify the <BEA_HOME>/wlserver_10.0/common/bin/commEnv.sh
file to include the following command:
JAVA_OPTIONS="$JAVA_OPTIONS -Djavax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory:http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.validation.XMLSchemaFactory"
The following sections provide information on known issues in WebLogic Portal on AIX:
To ensure that portal applications run correctly on DB2, you must set some minimum configuration parameters. If you do not, heavy portal activity may exceed database capacity.
Use the following settings as guidelines to configure your DB2 database:
For additional information, see Configuring DB2 Databases in the BEA WebLogic Portal 10.2 Database Administration Guide.
For more information about known issues with BEA products supported on this configuration, including available workarounds, see the appropriate Release Notes document.
