[1] Clarity 8.1 on Weblogic 9.2 Walkthrough

Here is Clarity 8.1 on Weblogic 9.2 installation walkthrough. A Powerpoint presentation containing following contents..

• Clarity installation.
• WebLogic Configuration
• Deployment of Clarity .ear files to WebLogic
• Appendix (Things to know, Tips, Best Practices, Troubleshooting)

Click here to download the PPT file...

* I was installing it first time and had very basic document in hand which was based on Weblogic 8.x. After having spent almost 2 days on this, I was still not able to bring up Clarity app home page. (though NSA deployment was success). Everytime deployment of jar file took considerable time (10-15 mins) and different combinations were yielding different errors. Googled a lot, tried many options... but still far from success. I was trying with SQL Server 2005. Next morning I started it on this again .. Thought of giving try with Oracle 10g ... and Voila .. it was SUCCESS... I digged back to SQL Server 2005 setup and discovered that it was driver issue (see Appendix section of PPT file for details). I must thank to this driver issue, otherwise I couldn't have learned many other things. I mentioned most of those learnings in Appendix section, don't miss that. Rather I would suggest to have quick look at that before starting installation..

  3. It needs good time to be invested. I deliberately opted to go for Weblogic as not much of documentation was available for Weblogic. Websphere, I felt is quite widely used so one can find assistance/documentation on that in comparatively easier way.
    But I am taking your request and will try to create similar Websphere document when I get time.

  4. In your PPT you say to use -Xmx1536m. You should make it clear that on 32bit Windows you should avoid using such a large heap size due to the Windows-imposed 2GB process limit issue. A far safer -Xmx setting would be -Xmx1280m
