Installation Instructions for WebLogic 6.1 SP5
- Install
weblogic610sp5_aix.bin
using the instructions at the following links:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs61/install/instprg.html#1040228
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs61/install/instcon.html#1008419
- Copy the
CR104985_610sp5_aix.jar
patch file to your installation.
One method would be to copy the file to your WL_HOME/lib
directory. If you prefer not to install your patches in WL_HOME/lib
, you can create a patch directory, such as WL_HOME/
patches, and copy the files to the patch directory.
- Unjar the
CR104985_610sp5_aix.jar
patch file. It contains updated Apache plug-in shared objects and will replace the existing shared object files in your WL_HOME/lib/aix
directory.
If you used the patch directory, unjar the CR104985_610sp5_aix.jar
patch file and manually copy the files from your WL_HOME/
patches directory to your WL_HOME/lib/aix
directory.
