Known Issues

This section describes a known limitation with running a WebLogic Driver for Oracle with an Oracle Server and associated Oracle Call Interface on an HP Tru64 UNIX V5.1 configuration. For a detailed description and workaround, see Oracle Usage Problem.

For more information about known issues with any components of this release, see the appropriate Release Notes document. For a complete list of Release Notes supporting WebLogic Platform 7.0, see:

Oracle Usage Problem

This section describes a problem that occurs if you use the WebLogic Driver for Oracle with the Oracle8i Server - Enterprise Edition 8.1.7 and the corresponding Oracle Call Interface (OCI).

Note: This problem occurs only in Oracle 8.1.7; it is fixed in Oracle 9i.

When the genclntsh.sh script builds the client shared library, libclntsh.so, it refers to a list in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/shrept.lst to determine which functions must be included in the library. The list, however, does not include every function in the RDBMS that can be called directly by user code. One of the functions that is omitted is OCILobLocatorAssign. As a result, when WebLogic Server tries to invoke the OCILobLocatorAssign, the latter is not resolved.

To work around this problem, complete the following procedure:

Log in to your Oracle account:

su - oracle

In a text editor, open the following file:

$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/shrept.lst

Add the following line:

rdbms:OCILobLocatorAssign

(optional) Add the names of any other missing functions needed by applications, other than WebLogic Server 7.0, that you want to execute.

Note: The OCILobLocatorAssign function is not the only missing function that WebLogic Server 7.0 should be able to call, but it is the only missing function that WebLogic Server 7.0 requires. Other functions that WebLogic Server should be able to call, such as OCIEnvCreate and OCIerminate, are also missing. If these functions are required by other applications that you plan to run, you must add them to your environment by specifying them, too, in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/shrept.lst.

Rebuild the shared client library:

$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
$ make -f ins_rdbms.mk client_sharedlib

The make command updates the following files in /opt/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib:

• clntsh.map
• ldap.def libclntsh.so
• libclntsh.so.8.0 libclntst8.a
• network.def
• plsql.def
• precomp.def
• rdbms.def

Because OCILobLocatorAssign is now visible in libclntsh.so, WebLogic Server can call it.
