This section describes the issues with WebLogic Server installation and workarounds. It includes the following topics:
Section 1.3, "Process to Install and Configure Oracle WebLogic Server"
Section 1.4, "Patch for NoClassDefFoundError While Using JACC in zLinux"
When using an Upgrade installer or Smart Update to upgrade an existing WebLogic Server 10.3.x installation to WebLogic Server 10.3.3, if you abort the upgrade before completion, the installation should automatically roll back to the prior installation. This may not always occur, resulting in an unusable installation.
The installer does not verify whether sufficient disk space is available on the machine prior to completing the installation. As a result, if an installation cannot be completed due to insufficient space, the installer displays the following error message and exits:
Fatal error encountered during file installation. The installer will nowcleanup and exit!
If this problem occurs, restart the installer using the following command:
$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -jar wls1033_generic.jar -log=log.out -log_priority=debug
The preceding command generates a log of the installation procedure, providing details about the exact cause of the failure. If the cause is indeed insufficient space, the log file indicates it explicitly.
To install and configure Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.3, perform the following steps:
Download the IBM Java 6 64-bit (SR6 or SR7) from IBM download site.
Install IBM Java 6 on your system.
Export $JAVA_HOME/bin
into PATH
where JAVA_HOME
is the java installation path. For example:
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
Go to Oracle Technology Network.

This section describes documentation errata:
Section 2.1, "Issues With Search Function in the Samples Viewer"
Section 2.2, "Japanese Text Displays in Some Search Results Topics Avitek Medical Records"
Section 2.3, "Some Interfaces to SAML2 Are Not Documented in the MBean Reference"
Section 2.4, "WS-AT Code Example Is Not Listed on the Examples Page"
Section 2.5, "Typographical Error in Oracle Fusion Middleware Using Active Cache"
The Search function in the Samples viewer does not work when accessing the Examples documentation by selecting Oracle Weblogic > Weblogic Server > Examples > Documentation from the Windows Start menu.
To search the Sample Applications and Code Examples, you must start the Examples server and navigate to http://localhost:7001/examplesWebApp/docs/core/index.html
. Click Instructions and then Search.
The samples viewer Search function may sometimes return topics that display the Japanese and English versions of some Avitek Medical Records topics simultaneously.
The WebLogic Server 10.3.1 MBean Reference does not document the interfaces to the SAML 2.0 Identity Asserter and SAML 2.0 Credential Mapping provider. Instead, Javadoc for these MBean interfaces is provided in the WebLogic Server 10.3.1 MBean API Reference Guide.
When displaying the WebLogic Server Code Examples web page, the topic "Using Web Services Atomic Transaction" is not listed in the Web Services section of the Table of Contents (under WebLogic Server Examples > Examples > API > Web Services).
To display this topic, enter the following URL in your web browser:
WL_HOME\samples\server\examples\src\examples\webservices\jaxws\wsat\
instructions.html
where WL_HOME
is the WebLogic Server installation directory (the default is C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3
).
There is a typographical error in the last line of Example 6-3, "Sample manifest.mf File" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Using ActiveCache. The example should be as follows:
Extension-List: active-cache active-cache-Extension-Name: active-cache active-cache-Specification-Version: 1.0 active-cache-Implementation-Version: 1.0
