After the Business Intelligence (BI) software and the Oracle 9i client
are installed, the following error might appear:

   Error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

The SAS 9.1 BI Server software is heavily dependent on the Java
components from Sun being at version 1.4.2_02. In this case, the Oracle
9i client installs version 1.3.x_xx of the Java components. And this
version overrides the necessary Java version used by SAS. In turn,
all of the SAS Java components stop working properly. The Java version
keeps the SAS Services Application from starting and causes the .war
files under the Portal 2.0.1 from unpacking.

To correct this behavior:

   1. Change the environment variables (JAVA_HOME, PATH and/or
      CLASSPATH) and remove the references to the Oracle JRE version.
   2. Rerun the SAS Configuration Wizard through the SAS Software
      Navigator.
