BEA supports WebLogic RFID Edge Server software on the configurations supported in this document. The supported configurations include multiple combinations of hardware, operating systems, and JREs that can be used with the software.
Please make contact with your sales representative for information about configurations not listed in this document. Note that even using a supported configuration does not guarantee that you will never encounter operating system and JVM issues while using the software. We suggest that customers regularly check their operating system and JVM vendor Web sites for information and patches recommended by those vendors.
For the list of supported readers, see RFID Reader Reference.
Customers who have installed a 1.x version of the WebLogic RFID Edge Server software (marketed as RFTagAware™) can, in most instances, install version 2.1 and then copy configuration and state information from the version 1.x installation to the 2.1 installation.
<1.x_product_directory>/var/edgestate directory to the 2.1 location.| Note: | If you use edge.props for configuration rather than the Administration Console, you will have to merge your site-specific properties into the 2.1 version of the file. |
If you encounter any problems, call BEA customer support for assistance in upgrading to the current version. Mention that you are an existing RFTagAware customer who is upgrading to WebLogic RFID Edge Server; doing so will help ensure that your request for assistance is routed to the correct people within customer support.
You can migrate Edge Server versions 2.1 or later to Edge Server 3.0. When you migrate these earlier versions, you preserve previously configured components, such as readers, composite readers, workflows, and filters. For more information, see Running the Installation Program in Installing WebLogic RFID Edge Server.
A Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is required for WebLogic RFID Edge Server to run. For your convenience, the WebLogic installation program includes a JVM; for details, see Installing WebLogic RFID Edge Server.
If the JVM used in your configuration is not the BEA JRockit JVM, but a JVM provided by a third party, BEA cannot directly resolve potential issues traced to the third-party JVM. Support for a third-party JVM must be provided by the JVM vendor.
The version of any third-party JVM bundled by BEA is recommended by the JVM vendor at the time BEA releases its product. Because the versions of JVMs supported by vendors change over time, please consult with your JVM vendor and confirm the latest configurations in the documentation for your operating system before using a third-party JVM.
