Replacing the Delivered xerces.jar and xalan.jar Files

The following steps must be performed for Oracle BI Publisher installations that use the Sun Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM. The combination of the JD Edwards delivered xerces.jar and xalan.jar combined with Sun Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM results in a failed Oracle WebLogic Enterprise Manager (EM) service if the xerces.jar and xalan.jar files are not replaced.

To manually replace the xerces.jar file:

  1. Locate the Oracle 12c WebLogic xercesImpl.jar common file (for example, <orcl_BI>/oracle/Middleware/oracle_common/modules/oracle.owasp_12.2.1.2/).

  2. Copy the xercesImpl.jar file into the <orcl_BI>/user_projects/domains/<bifoundation_domain>/lib directory.

  3. Delete the xalan.jar and xerces.jar files found in the <orcl_BI>/user_projects/domains/<bifoundation_domain>/lib directory.

  4. Restart the WebLogic Administrative Console BIP services.
