Configuration Requirements

The following section provides requirements for BEA products supported on this configuration:

 


Known Issues

Serial Version UID Mismatch

A Serial Version UID Mismatch Issue may be encountered if you deploy an application on a latest JVM, but compiled with an earlier JDK release.

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"

Or, 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.

Issues Related to Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 on AMD64, 64-bit Xeon, and Itanium when Using Remote Autonomy

See Using a Remote Autonomy Installation in Supported Configurations for WebLogic Platform 10.0.

Issues Related to Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 on AMD64 and 64-bit Xeon

This section describes known issues that occur when you run WebLogic Server 10.0 on Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 systems based on the AMD64 and 64-bit Xeon chip architecture.

JVM Stack Overflow

You might encounter a JVM stack overflow error or exception while running WebLogic Server on the Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 on 64-bit Xeon configuration.

Workaround: Increase the stack size from the default 128k to 256k.

Exception Encountered on Systems with Mounted NFS File Systems

You might encounter the following exception while installing WebLogic Server on a system that has NFS file systems mounted:

"Caused by:  java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can not list file system roots on this computer"

Workaround: Ensure that you have at least 600MB of free disk space before installing WebLogic Server and use the -Dspace.detection=false flag while installing. The installation command will look like:

java -Dspace.detection=false -jar server100_generic.jar -mode=console
