If you deploy the SAS BI Dashboard Web application to Oracle WebLogic 10.3 under AIX, the deployment fails. The following error is generated in the WebLogic log:

java.lang.ClassCastException:
org.apache.xerces.parsers.XIncludeAwareParserConfiguration incompatible with
org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLParserConfiguration.

The following errors are generated in the WebLogic log and also displayed in the browser when you try to access SAS BI Dashboard:

index.jsp:2:5: Invalid tag library.
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %>
    ^----^
index.jsp:2:5: No tag library could be found with this URI. Possible causes could be that the URI is incorrect, or that there were errors during parsing of the .tld file.
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %>
    ^----^

This problem is fixed in SAS BI Dashboard 4.3. To correct this problem in SAS BI Dashboard 4.2, complete the following steps:

1. In the WebLogic console, remove the existing deployment of SAS BI Dashboard.
2. Remove the following two files:
   • SAS_CONFIG/Lev1/Web/Staging/exploded/sas.bidashboard4.2.ear/sas.bidashboard.war/WEB-INF/lib/xercesImpl.jar
   • SAS_CONFIG/Lev1/Web/Staging/exploded/sas.bidashboard4.2.ear/sas.eventsgenerationframework.war/WEB-INF/lib/xercesImpl.jar
   Move one of them to another location (outside the BI Dashboard EAR) and delete the other one altogether.
3. In these files
   • SAS_CONFIG/Lev1/Web/Staging/exploded/sas.bidashboard4.2.ear/META-INF/weblogic-application.xml
   • SAS_CONFIG/Lev1/Web/Staging/exploded/sas.bidashboard4.2.ear/META-INF/weblogic103-application.xml
   you should find a section like this:

       <prefer-application-packages>
           <package-name>org.apache.xerces.*</package-name>
           <package-name>com.sas.*</package-name>
       </prefer-application-packages>
   

   Delete this line:

        <package-name>org.apache.xerces.*</package-name>
   

4. In the WebLogic console, deploy SAS BI Dashboard again from this location:

       SAS_CONFIG/Lev1/Web/Staging/exploded/sas.bidashboard4.2.ear
