Known Issues

• Serial Version UID Mismatch
• Issues Related to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0 on AMD64, 64-bit Xeon, and Itanium when Using Remote Autonomy
• Issues Related to Other Products

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>/Weblogic92/common/bin/commEnv.sh file to include the following command:

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 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0 on AMD64, 64-bit Xeon, and Itanium when Using Remote Autonomy

See Using a Remote Autonomy Installation in Supported Configurations for WebLogic Platform 9.2.

Issues Related to Other Products
