Firewalls
WebLogic Integration 8.5 supports network devices, such as firewalls, that properly support network protocols and the 7-Layer Network Model. BEA will perform root cause analysis on interaction problems between WebLogic Integration and network devices, and it will address WebLogic Integration product issues as appropriate, but it cannot address network address issues.
Supported Database Configurations
WebLogic Integration 8.5 supports the following databases:
The topic Supported Database Configurations in Supported Configurations for WebLogic Platform 8.1 contains the following important information about database support in WebLogic Integration:
- BEA WebLogic PlatformTM support for databases
For details about databases supported in WebLogic Integration 8.5, see the following sections as appropriate:
- For WebLogic Integration 8.5 SP5, see the section "Database Support for 8.1 SP5."
- For the release of WebLogic Integration 8.5 prior to SP5, see the section "Database Support for 8.1 SP4."
- Database drivers bundled with WebLogic Platform
The drivers bundled with WebLogic Platform are included in the WebLogic Integration 8.5 installation program. For details about the database drivers bundled with WebLogic Integration 8.5, see the section "Drivers Bundled with WebLogic Platform."
- Configuring database drivers with WebLogic Platform
Database Access Requirements
WebLogic Integration 8.5 requires the following database-specific resources:
- Access to a database server installed on the local network. WebLogic Integration installs a local copy of the PointBase database solely for evaluation purposes, either in the form of custom trial applications or through packaged sample applications provided with WebLogic Integration. Non-evaluation development or other use of the PointBase Server requires that a separate PointBase Server license be obtained by the end user directly from DataMirror. WebLogic Integration does not support PointBase for production server deployments.
- Database server account with privileges sufficient for creating a database with tables must be available.
- WebLogic Integration 8.5 SP5 provides the same support for databases provided by WebLogic Platform 8.1 SP5. If you are using the release of WebLogic Integration 8.5 prior to SP5, note the following:
- WebLogic Integration provides the same support for databases provided by WebLogic Platform 8.1 SP4.
- BEA provides a patch for the IBM DB2 database. BEA recommends that you apply this patch to your system if you are using DB2 with WebLogic Integration 8.5. This patch, which includes JDBC drivers for DB2, is available at the following URL:
- BEA provides a patch for Oracle9i RAC support. BEA recommends that you apply this patch to your system if you are using Oracle9i RAC with WebLogic Integration 8.5. This patch is available at the following URL:
http://dev2dev.bea.com/products/wlplatform81/patch/wlplat81sp4_db2_patch.jsp

Supported Interoperability Tools
See Supported Interoperability Tools in Supported Configurations for WebLogic Platform 8.1 for information about the following interoperability tools supported for use with WebLogic Platform 8.1 SP4, which applies also to WebLogic Integration 8.5:
Product Support Information
BEA supports WebLogic Integration 8.5 software on the configurations listed in List of Supported Operating System Configurations. The supported configurations include multiple combinations of hardware, operating systems, SDKs, database systems, Web servers, and browsers that can be used with WebLogic Integration 8.5 software. We are working to increase the number of configurations we support, and will update this information as new supported configurations are added.
Please contact your sales representative for information about configurations not listed in this document. Note that even using a supported configuration does not guarantee that you will never encounter operating system and JVM issues while running your application. We suggest that customers regularly check their operating system and JVM vendor Web sites for information and patches recommended by those vendors.
Supported Hardware
BEA products are certified for particular hardware architectures, as specified in List of Supported Operating System Configurations. In some cases, a single chip architecture is provided by multiple vendors. BEA supports such implementations when they are certified for compliance by their respective owners.
One example is a line of machines called Primepower that is offered by Fujitsu. Because Sun has certified Primepower systems for SPARC compatibility, all Primepower computers are supported for any SPARC-based system included in List of Supported Operating System Configurations.
Another example is the IA32-compatible (that is, x86/Xeon-compatible) architecture that is supported in the same manner by AMD.
