- Release 5.1 -- 8/11/2000

There are no AS/400-specific changes in this release. Please see
Release Notes for WebLogic

WebLogic supplied container managed persistence examples do not run on AS/400. Since AS/400 doesn't support dynamically
loading EJBs, users need to add $WL_HOME/lib/persistence/WebLogic_RDBMS.jar
into their classpath when running container managed EJB's. In order for the CMP EJB example included with the server
to run successfully the WebLogic_RDBMS.jar must be in your CLASSPATH.
There is a special setting that one needs for running the AS/400 JVM.
Users need to set the environment variable:
QIBM_MULTI_THREADED=Y.
It is essential for WebLogic on AS/400 to start with this setting.
- Release 4.5.0 -- 8/23/1999
-
WebLogic JMS persistence is not yet supported with DB2 because DB2
lacks the BLOB support JMS requires. Until BLOB support is available
for DB2 (expected in the Fall of 1999), you can use a Microsoft SQL
Server, Sybase SQL Server, or Oracle database on another platform
with a type 4 JDBC driver on the AS/400.
The OS/400 V4R3 JVM limits .jar file sizes to 2MB. The V4R4 JVM does not
have this limitation. Since the weblogicaux.jar
file exceeds 2MB, it is split into multiple .jar files in the V4R4 release, but
not in the V4R4 release. For WebLogic Server 4.5.0, there are three weblogicaux.jar files in the OS/400 V4R3 release:
- weblogicaux0.jar
- weblogicaux1.jar
- weblogicaux2.jar
- Release 4.0.2 -- 5/17/1999

Tengah Server has been renamed to WebLogic Server. Along with this
product name change, changes were made to directory names and
AS/400-specific commands:
- The AS/400 save file that you download from the WebLogic website
contains a save file that has been renamed to weblversion.savf.
- In earlier releases, WebLogic Server installed in the IFS directory /weblogic/tengah/version. With
release 4.0, the tengah/ portion
of the directory is dropped. The WebLogic Server now installs in the
/weblogic/version IFS
directory.

renamed INSWEBL.

renamed STRWEBL.
