This section describes the issues with WebLogic Server installation and workarounds. It includes the following topic:
The Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 installer does not download the Sybase JDBC drivers. When you try to upgrade an existing WebLogic Server 10.3 installation using the latest installer, it does not remove the Sybase jar files from the original installation. The installer upgrades only the weblogic.jar file.
The Sybase jar files (jconn2.jar, jconn3.jar, and jConnect.jar) in the /server/lib or /server/ext/jdbc/sybase directories are removed from the manifest classpath in the upgraded weblogic.jar file. Therefore, if the classpath of a WebLogic Server application does not include Sybase jar files and only includes weblogic.jar then after the upgrade installation, the application will throw ClassNotFoundException.
To work around this issue, explicitly add Sybase jar files in the WebLogic Server application classpath.
This section describes the WebLogic Server configuration issues and workarounds.
