BEA WebLogic

 

1.Create the folder PEERNETReportsServer3 in a temp folder. Uncompress PEERNETReportsServer3.war into the PEERNETReportsServer3 folder. Then, copy this folder to the user’s applications directory under <weblogic installdir>.

 

2.If you are using a proxy server to connect to the Internet, you need to set the proxyHost and proxyPort you are using in the startup script of your WebLogic Server. Otherwise, you could get errors such as:

 

<Warning> <Net> <BEA-000905> <Could not open connection with host: www.peernet.com and port: 80.>

 

This can be done by adding the following to your startup script:

 

set JAVA_OPTIONS=-Dhttp.proxyHost=yourHost -Dhttp.proxyPort=yourPort
