Known Issues

• Doing a Complete Install With a Generic Installer
• Serial Version UID Mismatch
• Issues Related to WebLogic Integration 10.3 Using 64-bit JDK
• Known Issues for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 on 64-bit Xeon and AMD64
• Known Issues for Other Products

Doing a Complete Install With a Generic Installer

If you are performing a complete install of a WebLogic product (e.g. WebLogic Server, WebLogic Portal) by using the generic installer (.jar) on a platform where Eclipse is not supported or not installed, you might encounter a situation where the generic installer will go into a repeated loop condition. If you are experiencing this condition refer to the Installation Guide, specifically the "Install Eclipse Location Options" section for more information on how to handle the installation.

Serial Version UID Mismatch

A Serial Version UID Mismatch Issue may be encountered if you deploy an application on a latest JVM but compiled with an earlier JDK release.

Workaround: To be compatible with the serialization of previously compiled applications, modify the <BEA_HOME>\wlserver_10.3\common\bin\commEnv.cmd file to include the following command:

JAVA_OPTIONS="$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.

Issues Related to WebLogic Integration 10.3 Using 64-bit JDK

The Installation wizard does not get closed and when you try to exit the process by killing it, it throws the following exception:

"Exception in Thread "Wizard Controller "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space"

This problem occurs when you're using the Sun JDK.

Workaround:

Use the following command for installation:

java -Xms256m -Xmx512m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -jar wli10gR3_generic.jar

Known Issues for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 on 64-bit Xeon and AMD64

The Java Component Object (jCom) feature, available with WebLogic Server, is not supported on Windows 2008 on AMD64 or 64-bit Xeon.

Known Issues for Other Products

For information about known issues with products supported on this configuration, including available workarounds, see the appropriate Release Notes document.
