Issue

Bug Number: 37978646

Impacted Releases: 14.1.2.0.0

Impacted Platforms: All

When you use Oracle SOA Suite 14c on the Advanced Interactive eXecutive (AIX) operating system, the following error occurs when you start the AIX domain:

JVMJ9VM148E java.endorsed.dirs=/scratch/kpazhane/install_mw1/soa/bam/modules/org.apache.xalan_2.7.1 is no longer supported

This issue occurs for new installations of Oracle SOA Suite 14c and upgrades from prior releases to 14c.

Workaround

Choose one of the following workarounds:

• Before creating a domain on AIX or upgrading from a prior version to Oracle SOA Suite 14c, apply the patch for bug 37801761. Additionally, install or upgrade to an Oracle SOA Suite 14c release from July 25, 2025 or later. This issue is corrected in these later releases.

• If you already created the AIX domain, edit <DomainHome>/bin/setSOADomainEnv.sh and comment/remove the following entries at line 58:

  EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES="${EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES} -Djavax.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.datatype.DatatypeFactoryImpl -Djava.endorsed.dirs=${SOA_ORACLE_HOME}/bam/modules/org.apache.xalan_2.7.1"
