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 Java™.

Doing a Complete Install With a Generic InstallerIf you are performing a complete install of a WebLogic product (e.g. WebLogic Server, WebLogic Portal) by using the generic installer (.jar) on a platform where Eclipse is not supported or not installed, you might encounter a situation where the generic installer will go into a repeated loop condition. If you are experiencing this condition refer to the Installation Guide, specifically the “Install Eclipse Location Options” section for more information on how to handle the installation.

Known Issues

Supported Configurations for Oracle Products: IBM AIX 1-5

IIOP Thin Client Not SupportedThe 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 MismatchA Serial Version UID Mismatch issue is encountered if you deploy an application on a latest JVM, but compiled with previous Service Release of IBM Java 6 JDK.

Workaround: To be compatible with the serialization of previously compiled applications, modify the <BEA_HOME>/wlserver_10.3/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 SupportedThe weblogic.aspects.AspectJClassLoader is not supported on AIX using IBM Java 6.

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

Known Issues for Other ProductsFor more information about known issues with Oracle products supported on this configuration, including available workarounds, see the appropriate Release Notes document.

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 Java™.

Doing a Complete Install With a Generic InstallerIf you are performing a complete install of a WebLogic product (e.g. WebLogic Server, WebLogic Portal, WebLogic Integration) by using the generic installer (.jar) on a platform where Eclipse is not supported or not installed, you might encounter a situation where the generic installer will go into a repeated loop condition. If you are experiencing this condition refer to the Installation Guide, specifically the “Install Eclipse Location Options” section for more information on how to handle the installation.

IIOP Thin Client Not SupportedThe 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 MismatchA Serial Version UID Mismatch Issue is encountered if you deploy an application on a latest JVM, but compiled with previous Service Release of IBM Java 6 JDK.

Workaround: To be compatible with the serialization of previously compiled applications, modify the <BEA_HOME>/wlserver_10.3/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 SupportedThe 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 ImpactUsing 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:

In the bin directory under the target domain directory, use a text editor to open the setDomainEnv.sh file. Search for the first occurrence of debugFlag=true and replace it with debugFlag=false.

Pass the nodebug command-line argument to the server startup script. For example: $ ./startWebLogic.sh nodebug

XML Schema Validation ErrorAn xml schema factory validation error is encountered when IBM JDK fails to return the platform default schema factory because of a preconfigured property file format.

Workaround: Modify the <BEA_HOME>/wlserver_10.0/common/bin/commEnv.sh file to include the following command:

JAVA_OPTIONS="$JAVA_OPTIONS -Djavax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory:http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.validation.XMLSchemaFactory"

WebLogic Portal Known IssuesThe following sections provide information on known issues in WebLogic Portal on AIX:

DB2 ConsiderationsTo 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:

Dynamic Sections: 20,000

applheapsz: 24,000

pckcachesz: 2,500

stmt heapsize: 12000

For additional information, see Configuring DB2 Databases in the BEA WebLogic Portal 10.0 Database Administration Guide.

Known Issues for Other BEA Products

TransformException When Using WebLogic Integration and IBM JDK 1.5 SR9If you are using WebLogic Integration and IBM JDK 1.5 SR9, you may get com.bea.transform.TransformException for operations involving transformation of Non-XML to XML elements. This problem was not seen in IBM JDK 1.5 SR8a.

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 Java™.

WebLogic Server Known IssuesThe following sections provide information on known issues in WebLogic Server on AIX:

IIOP Thin Client Not SupportedThe 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 MismatchA Serial Version UID Mismatch Issue is encountered if you deploy an application on a latest JVM, but compiled with previous Service Refresh of IBM Java 5 JDK.

Workaround: To be compatible with the serialization of previously compiled applications, modify the <BEA_HOME>/wlserver_10.0/common/bin/commEnv.sh file to include the following command:

Known Issues

Supported Configurations for BEA Products: IBM AIX 1-5

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 SupportedThe 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 ImpactUsing 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:

In the bin directory under the target domain directory, use a text editor to open the setDomainEnv.sh file. Search for the first occurrence of debugFlag=true and replace it with debugFlag=false.

Pass the nodebug command-line argument to the server startup script. For example: $ ./startWebLogic.sh nodebug

XML Schema Validation ErrorAn xml schema factory validation error is encountered when IBM JDK fails to return the platform default schema factory because of a preconfigured property file format.

Workaround: Modify the <BEA_HOME>/wlserver_10.0/common/bin/commEnv.sh file to include the following command:

JAVA_OPTIONS="$JAVA_OPTIONS -Djavax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory:http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.validation.XMLSchemaFactory"

1-4 Supported Configurations for BEA Products: IBM AIX

Serial Version UID MismatchA Serial Version UID Mismatch Issue is encountered if you deploy an application on a latest JVM, but compiled with previous Service Refresh of IBM Java 5 32-bit JDK.

Workaround: To be compatible with the serialization of previously compiled applications, modify the <BEA_HOME>/Wlserver_10.0/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 SupportedThe 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 ImpactUsing 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:

In the bin directory under the target domain directory, use a text editor to open the setDomainEnv.sh file. Search for the first occurrence of debugFlag=true and replace it with debugFlag=false.

Pass the nodebug command-line argument to the server startup script. For example: $ ./startWebLogic.sh nodebug

Known Issues

Supported Configurations for BEA Products: IBM AIX 1-5

XML Schema Validation ErrorAn xml schema factory validation error is encountered when IBM JDK fails to return the platform default schema factory because of a preconfigured property file format.

Workaround: Modify the <BEA_HOME>/wlserver_10.0/common/bin/commEnv.sh file to include the following command:

JAVA_OPTIONS="$JAVA_OPTIONS -Djavax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory:http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.validation.XMLSchemaFactory"

WebLogic Portal Known IssuesThe following sections provide information on known issues in WebLogic Portal on AIX:

DB2 ConsiderationsTo 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:

Dynamic Sections: 20,000

applheapsz: 24,000

pckcachesz: 2,500

stmt heapsize: 12000

For additional information, see Configuring DB2 Databases in the BEA WebLogic Portal 10.0 Database Administration Guide.

WebLogic Server Known Issues

WebLogic Portal Known Issues

WebLogic Workshop 10.1 Known Issues

Known Issues for Other BEA Products

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 Java™.

WebLogic Server Known IssuesThe following sections provide information on known issues in WebLogic Server on AIX:

IIOP Thin Client Not SupportedThe 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 MismatchA Serial Version UID Mismatch Issue is encountered if you deploy an application on a latest JVM, but compiled with previous Service Refresh of IBM Java 5 JDK.

Workaround: To be compatible with the serialization of previously compiled applications, modify the <BEA_HOME>/wlserver_10.0/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"

Known Issues

Supported Configurations for BEA Products: IBM AIX 1-5

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 SupportedThe 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 ImpactUsing 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:

In the bin directory under the target domain directory, use a text editor to open the setDomainEnv.sh file. Search for the first occurrence of debugFlag=true and replace it with debugFlag=false.

Pass the nodebug command-line argument to the server startup script. For example: $ ./startWebLogic.sh nodebug

XML Schema Validation ErrorAn xml schema factory validation error is encountered when IBM JDK fails to return the platform default schema factory because of a preconfigured property file format.

Workaround: Modify the <BEA_HOME>/wlserver_10.0/common/bin/commEnv.sh file to include the following command:

JAVA_OPTIONS="$JAVA_OPTIONS -Djavax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory:http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.validation.XMLSchemaFactory"

WebLogic Portal Known IssuesThe following sections provide information on known issues in WebLogic Portal on AIX:

WebLogic P lat fo rm 10 .0 on IBM A IX 6 .1 pSer ies

1-6 Supported Configurations for BEA Products: IBM AIX

DB2 ConsiderationsTo 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:

Dynamic Sections: 20,000

applheapsz: 24,000

pckcachesz: 2,500

stmt heapsize: 12000

For additional information, see Configuring DB2 Databases in the BEA WebLogic Portal 10.0 Database Administration Guide.

WebLogic Workshop 10.1 Known IssuesThe generic .jar installer used to install Workshop on AIX platforms throws an OutOfMemory Exception and does not provide a complete installation.

Workaround:

Update the Java opts max heap size. For example:

java -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -jar workshop101_generic.jar

Known Issues for Other BEA Products

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 Java™.

WebLogic Server Known IssuesThe following sections provide information on known issues in WebLogic Server on AIX:

IIOP Thin Client Not SupportedThe 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 MismatchA Serial Version UID mismatch issue is encountered if you deploy an application on a latest JVM, but compiled with previous Service Refresh of IBM Java 5 JDK.

Workaround: To be compatible with the serialization of previously compiled applications, modify the <BEA_HOME>/wlserver_10.0/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 SupportedThe weblogic.aspects.AspectJClassLoader is not supported on AIX using IBM Java 5.

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

WebLogic P lat fo rm 10 .0 on IBM A IX 5 .3 pSer ies

1-6 Supported Configurations for BEA Products: IBM AIX

JVM Debug Mode ImpactUsing 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:

In the bin directory under the target domain directory, use a text editor to open the setDomainEnv.sh file. Search for the first occurrence of debugFlag=true and replace it with debugFlag=false.

Pass the nodebug command-line argument to the server startup script. For example: $ ./startWebLogic.sh nodebug

XML Schema Validation ErrorAn xml schema factory validation error is encountered when IBM JDK fails to return the platform default schema factory because of a preconfigured property file format.

Workaround: Modify the <BEA_HOME>/wlserver_10.0/common/bin/commEnv.sh file to include the following command:

JAVA_OPTIONS="$JAVA_OPTIONS -Djavax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory:http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.validation.XMLSchemaFactory"

WebLogic Portal Known IssuesThe following sections provide information on known issues in WebLogic Portal on AIX:

DB2 ConsiderationsTo 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:

Dynamic Sections: 20,000

applheapsz: 24,000

pckcachesz: 2,500

Download and Ins ta l la t i on Ins t ruc t i ons

Supported Configurations for BEA Products: IBM AIX 1-7

stmt heapsize: 12000

For additional information, see Configuring DB2 Databases in the BEA WebLogic Portal 10.0 Database Administration Guide.

WebLogic Workshop 10.1 Known IssuesThe generic .jar installer used to install Workshop on AIX platforms throws an OutOfMemory Exception and does not provide a complete installation.

Workaround:

Update the Java opts max heap size. For example:

java -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -jar workshop101_generic.jar

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 Java™.

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

IIOP Thin Client Not SupportedThe 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 MismatchA 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 SupportedThe 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 ImpactUsing the JVM debug mode with the IBM JVM significantly degrades application performance. Therefore, whenever you run WebLogic Portal on an AIX configuration, BEA strongly

WebLogic P la t fo rm 9 .2 on IBM A IX 6 .1 pSer ies

1-6 Supported Configurations for BEA Products: IBM AIX

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:

In the bin directory under the target domain directory, use a text editor to open the setDomainEnv.sh file. Search for the first occurrence of debugFlag=true and replace it with debugFlag=false.

Pass the nodebug command-line argument to the server startup script. For example: $ ./startWebLogic.sh nodebug

Upgrade from WebLogic Server 8.1 to WebLogic Server 9.2The 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://e-docs.bea.com/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://e-docs.bea.com/common/docs92/upgrade/.

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

Known Issues

Supported Configurations for BEA Products: IBM AIX 1-7

DB2 ConsiderationsTo 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:

Dynamic Sections: 20,000

applheapsz: 24,000

pckcachesz: 2,500

stmt heapsize: 12000

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

compoze API Patch Issue for Non-J2ee ClientsNon-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.

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 Java™.

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

IIOP Thin Client Not SupportedThe 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 MismatchA 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.

Known Issues

Supported Configurations for BEA Products: IBM AIX 1-7

AspectJClassLoader Not SupportedThe 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 ImpactUsing 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:

In the bin directory under the target domain directory, use a text editor to open the setDomainEnv.sh file. Search for the first occurrence of debugFlag=true and replace it with debugFlag=false.

Pass the nodebug command-line argument to the server startup script. For example: $ ./startWebLogic.sh nodebug

Upgrade from WebLogic Server 8.1 to WebLogic Server 9.2The 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://e-docs.bea.com/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.

WebLogic P lat fo rm 9 .2 and AquaLog ic Serv i ce Bus on IBM A IX 5 .3 pSe r i es

1-8 Supported Configurations for BEA Products: IBM AIX

To verify that the upgrade is successful, following the steps described in http://e-docs.bea.com/common/docs92/upgrade/.

Known Issues When Using the Azul Virtual MachineA 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 IssuesThe 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 JrockitThere 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 IssuesThe following sections provide information on known issues in WebLogic Portal 9.2 on AIX:

Known Issues

Supported Configurations for BEA Products: IBM AIX 1-9

DB2 ConsiderationsTo 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:

Dynamic Sections: 20,000

applheapsz: 24,000

pckcachesz: 2,500

stmt heapsize: 12000

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

compoze API Patch Issue for Non-J2ee ClientsNon-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.

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 Java™.

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

IIOP Thin Client Not SupportedThe 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.

Table 11-2 Requirements for IBM AIX 5.2 for 64-bit JDK

Known Issues

Supported Configurations for BEA Products: IBM AIX 1-5

Serial Version UID MismatchA 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 SupportedThe 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 ImpactUsing 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:

In the bin directory under the target domain directory, use a text editor to open the setDomainEnv.sh file. Search for the first occurrence of debugFlag=true and replace it with debugFlag=false.

Pass the nodebug command-line argument to the server startup script. For example: $ ./startWebLogic.sh nodebug

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

BEA WebLogic P lat fo rm 9 .2 and AquaLogic Se rv ice Bus on IBM A IX 5 .2 pSer i es

1-6 Supported Configurations for BEA Products: IBM AIX

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://e-docs.bea.com/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://e-docs.bea.com/common/docs92/upgrade/.

Known Issues When Using the Azul Virtual MachineA 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 IssuesThe 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 JrockitThere 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.

Known Issues

Supported Configurations for BEA Products: IBM AIX 1-7

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

DB2 ConsiderationsTo 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:

Dynamic Sections: 20,000

applheapsz: 24,000

pckcachesz: 2,500

stmt heapsize: 12000

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

compoze API Patch Issue for Non-J2ee ClientsNon-J2EE clients using the compoze API must complete the following after applying the WLP patches located at Download and Apply BEA 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

Supported Configurations for BEA Products: IBM AIX 5-3

Issues Related to Other BEA Products

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 Java™.

IIOP Thin Client Not SupportedThe 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 MismatchA serial version UID mismatch is encountered when using WLS 9.1 with IBM Java 5 SR1.

Workaround: To be compatible with the serialization of previously compiled applications, modify the <BEA_HOME>/Weblogic91/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 SupportedThe weblogic.aspects.AspectJClassLoader is not supported on AIX using IBM Java 5.

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

Issues Related to Other BEA ProductsFor more information about known issues with BEA products supported on this configuration, including available workarounds, see the appropriate Release Notes document.
