BEA Workshop for WebLogic Platform 9.2: Not supported


 

 

Known Issues

IBM JVM Updates For DST

IBM has released a Timezone Update Utility to update DST data without the need to upgrade Java. See IBM Time Zone Update Utility for JavaTM.

WebLogic Server Known Issues

The following sections provide information on known issues in WebLogic Server 9.2 on AIX:

IIOP Thin Client Not Supported

The IIOP thin client is not supported on AIX due to dependencies on the JVM. Only thin-client applications are affected by this issue.

Workaround: Run WebLogic Server on AIX and your thin client on another operating system.

Serial Version UID Mismatch

A serial version UID mismatch is encountered when using WLS 9.2 with IBM Java 5 SR2.

Workaround: To be compatible with the serialization of previously compiled applications, modify the <BEA_HOME>/Weblogic92/common/bin/commEnv.sh file to include the following command:

JAVA_OPTIONS="$JAVA_OPTIONS  -Dcom.sun.xml.namespace.QName.useCompatibleSerialVersionUID=1.0"

Alternatively, you can use the command line option:

export IBM_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.

AspectJClassLoader Not Supported

The weblogic.aspects.AspectJClassLoader is not supported on AIX using IBM Java 5.

Workaround: You are advised not to use this class loader.

JVM Debug Mode Impact

Using the JVM debug mode with the IBM JVM significantly degrades application performance. Therefore, whenever you run WebLogic Portal on an AIX configuration, BEA strongly recommends that you disable the JVM debug mode (default setting for WebLogic Platform). Disabling debug mode is recommended for all domains, including existing domains and those domains created using the Configuration Wizard.

To disable JVM debug mode, do one of the following:

Upgrade from WebLogic Server 8.1 to WebLogic Server 9.2

The WebLogic Server upgrade from WebLogic Server 8.1 to WebLogic Server 9.2 does not work properly on AIX platforms.

Workaround: Download and install the following WebLogic Server patch for AIX using the BEA Smart Update tool:

Patch ID: PM8M Pass Code: 3LLZUETZ

For more information on the BEA Smart Update tool, refer to http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13179_01/common/docs92/smart_update/intro.html

After applying the upgrade patch on AIX, follow the workaround for Serial Version UID Mismatch. For example,

export IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dcom.sun.xml.namespace.QName.useCompatibleSerialVersionUID=1.0"

Alternatively, you can pass -Dcom.sun.xml.namespace.QName.useCompatibleSerialVersionUID=1.0 to the "java" command while upgrading.

To verify that the upgrade is successful, following the steps described in http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13179_01/common/docs92/upgrade/.

Known Issues When Using the Azul Virtual Machine

A serial version UID mismatch is encountered when using WLS 9.2

Workaround: Create a Master Azul arguments file azul.java.vminitargs.post in Azul's JAVA_HOME if its not present and include: 

 -Dcom.sun.xml.namespace.QName.useCompatibleSerialVersionUID=1.0

AquaLogic Service Bus 2.5 Known Issues

The following sections provide information on known issues in AquaLogic Service Bus 2.5 on AIX:

Cannot Import/Export AquaLogic Service Bus Configuration Data JAR file (with Password-based encrypted Resources) Between IBM JVM and other JVMs such as Sun or Jrockit

There are differences in the various JDK implementations of the Password-Based Encryption algorithms used by AquaLogic Service Bus to protect resources that include sensitive data. These differences cause import to fail when an encrypted resource created with the Sun or JRockit JDK is imported into the IBM JDK or vice versa.

For information about the encryption algorithms, see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/security/jce/JCERefGuide.html#PBE.

There is no problem in exporting and importing encrypted resources with the same JDK.

Workaround: Export the resources without a pass-phrase by deselecting the Protect Sensitive Data flag when moving configuration JARs across different JDKs.

Caution: This resources file may contain passwords that are in the clear text.

WebLogic Portal 9.2 Known Issues

The following sections provide information on known issues in WebLogic Portal 9.2 on AIX:

DB2 Considerations

To ensure that portal applications run correctly on DB2, you must set some minimum configuration parameters. If you do not, heavy portal activity may exceed database capacity.

Use the following settings as guidelines to configure your DB2 database:

For additional information, see Configuring DB2 Databases in the BEA WebLogic Portal 9.2 Database Administration Guide.

compoze API Patch Issue for Non-J2ee Clients

Non-J2EE clients using the compoze API must complete the following after applying the WLP patches located at Download and Apply Patches:

Apply the patch to WL_HOME/portal/lib/content_collab.jar archive by extracting the APP-INF/classes/com/compoze/collab/beacm/impl/CmMailSession*.class from WL_HOME/portal/lib/modules/maintenance/default/wlp-collab-api-app-lib.ear and update the classes com/compoze/collab/beacm/impl/CmMailSession*.class (CmMailSession.class and CmMailSession$1.class) in WL_HOME/portal/lib/content_collab.jar with the extracted files.

Known Issues for Other BEA Products
