Installation Issues

This section describes installation issues with the WebLogic 8 Plug-In.

WebLogic 8.0 Installation Plan Fails on Windows Systems With Insufficient Disk Space (6370453)

If you run the Weblogic Software Installation Install Plan on a Windows system with insufficient disk space, the installation fails, but the failure is not reported in the N1 SPS interface. This failure occurs on Remote Agents that are running the following OS versions.

• Microsoft Windows 2000

• Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server

• Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition

• Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition

• Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Web Edition

While the N1 SPS interface indicates that the Install plan succeeded, the WebLogic software is not installed on the remote agent. This problem occurs because the Temp directory on the Remote Agent does not have enough free disk space for the WebLogic installer.

Workaround: Increase the disk space in the Windows Temp directory on the Remote Agent, then run the Install plan. Follow these steps.

1. On the Remote Agent, launch the MS-DOS command line program.

2. Type the following command in the MS-DOS window to determine the location of the Temp directory.

   prompt>echo %temp%

   The disk and directory location of the Temp directory is displayed.

3. Delete any unneeded files from the disk that contains the Temp directory to increase the available disk space for the WebLogic installer.

Runtime Issues

This section describes runtime issues with the WebLogic 8 Plug-In.

Domain and Administration Server Installation Fails When Enabling SSL

If you install a WebLogic domain and Administration server component with the secureConnect variable set to true, the installation fails. The error message for this failure indicates that the server cannot be started, or that the server is already running.

Workaround: Choose the appropriate workaround from the following list.

• To install a WebLogic 8.1.4 domain and Administration server on an IBM AIX Remote Agent, set the weblogicJARPath for the domain and Administration server component to the following value.

  :[wlHomeDir]:[/]server:[/]lib:[/]weblogic.jar;:[wlHomeDir]:[/]server:
  [/]lib:[/]webserviceclient+ssl_pj.jar

  Ensure that the javaHome variable value points to JDK 1.4.2, or compatible version.

• To install a WebLogic 8.1.3 domain and Administration server on an IBM AIX Remote Agent, set the weblogicJARPath for the domain and Administration server component to the following value.

  :[wlHomeDir]:[/]server:[/]lib:[/]weblogic.jar;:[wlHomeDir]:[/]server:
  [/]lib:[/]wlcipher.jar;:[wlHomeDir]:[/]server:[/]lib:[/]webserviceclient+ssl_pj.jar

  Ensure that the javaHome variable value points to JDK 1.4.2, or compatible version.

• To install a WebLogic 8.1.3 domain and Administration server on a Solaris 9 x86 Remote Agent, set the weblogicJARPath for the domain and Administration server component to the following value.

  :[wlHomeDir]:[/]server:[/]lib:[/]weblogic.jar;:[wlHomeDir]:[/]server:
  [/]lib:[/]wlcipher.jar;:[wlHomeDir]:[/]server:[/]lib:[/]webserviceclient+ssl_pj.jar

  Ensure that the javaHome variable value points to JDK 1.4.2, or compatible version.

• To install a WebLogic 8.1.3 domain and Administration server on a Solaris 9 SPARC Or Linux Remote Agent, you need to acquire the weblogic.jar file for the WebLogic 8.1.4 release. Set theweblogicJARPath variable for the domain and Administration server component to the location of the WebLogic 8.1.4 weblogic.jar file.

  To acquire the weblogic.jar file for the WebLogic 8.1.4 release, see the BEA home page.
