Once Web Logic 10.3.2 is installed, a mandatory patch is also required to be installed.
The metalink note point is 1072763.1
The patch mentioned in this note is WDJ7.
However since I did not have an internet connection from my AIX server, I decided to use the offline option instead of the smart update GUI option..
I downloaded the patch in the note – wdj7.zip but this file is corrupt – it does not unzip….so don’t waste time downloading this file.
The trick is to download the following patch from Metalink – it is the same as WDJ7.
The patch is 9438213 – search under ” Patches and Updates” tab in Metalink.
Download the patch- p9438213_10320_Generic.zip and copy it to your AIX server under the WLS_HOME/utils/bsu/cache_dir
The directory cache_dir will not exist in a fresh installation so create it.
cd /u01/oracle/Middleware/utils/bsu/cache_dir
unzip p9438213_10320_Generic.zip
Creates the foll files -
XLXA.jar
README.txt
NIXN.jar
4D53.jar
patch-catalog_15563.xml
- A glance of the README.txt fill confirm this patch is indeed the same as WDJ7 -
This patch contains Smart Update patch WDJ7 for WebLogic Server 10.3.2.0
Description:
============
Mandatory Patch required on WLS 10.3.2 for Oracle Grid Control (GC) 11.1 install
Now start the process of applying the patch -
Make sure the file bsu.sh is edited to avoid a java error –
vi /u01/oracle/Middleware/utils/bsu/bsu.sh
This is the original file -
#!/bin/sh
JAVA_HOME=”/usr/java6″
“$JAVA_HOME/bin/java” -jar patch-client.jar $*
But if I use this file – I get this error -
Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
com.bea.plateng.patch.Patch
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.bea.plateng.patch.Patch at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:423) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:653)
at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:346) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:619)
Could not find the main class: com.bea.plateng.patch.Patch. Program will exit.
So I edited the file and forced it to use the patch-client.tar file under the bsu directory.
#!/bin/sh
JAVA_HOME=”/usr/java6″
“$JAVA_HOME/bin/java”
-jar /u01/oracle/Middleware/utils/bsu/patch-client.jar $*
Then there is no java error …..
Now apply patch…
cd /u01/oracle/Middleware/utils/bsu
./bsu.sh -prod_dir=/u01/oracle/Middleware/wlserver_10.3 -patch_download_dir=/u01/oracle/Middleware/utils/bsu/cache_dir -patchlist=4D53,NIXN, ,XLXA -verbose -install -log=/tmp/error.log
If fails with errors –
Encountered unrecognized patch ID: 4D53
Encountered unrecognized patch ID: NIXN
Encountered unrecognized patch ID: XLXA
To fix this –
Rename the file patch-catalog_15563.xml as patch-catalog.xml in the cache_dir .
It worked after that.
