Upgrading JMS

Upgrading JMS

WebLogic Server 7.0 supports the JavaSoft JMS specification version 1.0.2.

„Weblogic Server 4.5.1 — Porting is supported only for SP15. Customers running all service packs should contact BEA Support.

„Weblogic Server 5.1 — Customers running SP07 or SP08 should contact BEA Support before porting existing JDBC stores to version 7.0.

z In order to port object messages, the object classes need to be in the Weblogic Server 7.0 server CLASSPATH.

z For destinations that are not configured in Weblogic Server 7.0, the ported messages will be dropped and the event will be logged.

For more information on porting your WebLogic JMS applications, see Porting WebLogic JMS Applications in Programming WebLogic JMS. Note that WebLogic Events are deprecated and are replaced by JMS messages with NO_ACKNOWLEDGE or MULTICAST_NO_ACKNOWLEDGE delivery modes. Each of these delivery modes is described in WebLogic JMS Fundamentals in Programming WebLogic JMS.

Upgrading Oracle

BEA Systems, mirroring Oracle's support policy, supports the Oracle releases listed in the Platform Support for WebLogic jDriver JDBC Drivers on the WebLogic Server Certifications page. BEA no longer supports the following Oracle client versions: 7.3.4, 8.0.4, 8.0.5, and 8.1.5.

To use the Oracle Client Version 7.3.4, use the backward compatible oci816_7 shared library. As stated above, BEA no longer supports this configuration.

To upgrade to Oracle Client Version 9i, or read detailed documentation on the WebLogic jDriver and Oracle databases, see Configuring WebLogic jDriver for Oracle in Installing and Using WebLogic jDriver for Oracle.
