Known Issues

Known Issues Pertaining to HP-UX JDK

If you are using releases of HP-UX JDK 5.0.04, HP-UX JDK 5.0.05, and HP-UX JDK 5.0.06, you may experience an out-of-memory error. Oracle recommends upgrading to the latest JDK version. See http://www.hp.com/go/java.

Increase MaxPermSize

You may need to increase the MaxPermSize parameter based on application requirements. For example: For the WebLogic Portal Groupspace sample, you may need to increase the MaxPermSize from 128MB to 256MB.

Serial Version UID Mismatch

A Serial Version UID Mismatch Issue is encountered if you deploy an application on a latest JVM, but built with Sun JDK 1.5.0_06 or HP JDK 1.5.0.4 equivalent

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 JAVA_OPTIONS="$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 Pertaining to HP-UX 11i v3 on Itanium

Working with Large Objects via RMI over IIOP

If your application involves working with very large objects via RMI over IIOP, you might encounter the following exception:

java.rmi.MarshalException: ; nested exception is: org.omg.CORBA.MARSHAL: vmcid: 0x0 minor code: 0 completed:

Workaround: Increase the size of the JVM thread stack using the -Xss option on the command line. By default, the stack is set to 512 KB; modify it depending on the size of the object in question.

Configure JDBC Data Sources Window Not Displayed Properly

When creating or upgrading WebLogic Server domains in the console mode, the Configure JDBC Data Sources window does not display correctly.

Workaround: Use the GUI mode or silent mode to create or upgrade a WebLogic Server domain on this configuration.

Known Issues for Other Products

For information about known issues with products supported on this configuration, including available workarounds, see the appropriate Release Notes document.
