    For WebLogic 8.1 SP6 and WebLogic 9.x monitors, Load Test needs to be started with the -Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true option. To do that in the command prompt, navigate to the Load Test installation directory and run the following command:

    lt -Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true


  4. Enter the Host name, change the Port number if necessary, then click the Next.
  5. In the Configure WebLogic Agent panel, enter or browse to the appropriate Path of the desired WebLogic implementation on your machine. For example: C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3.
  6. Click Next. The Configure WebLogic Agent dialog displays a table of the required Jar files for the server and indicates whether or not the appropriate Jar files were found.
  7. In the Configure WebLogic Agent dialog, click Finish. The Add Parameter dialog opens.



  8. Select a Parameter from the left GUI panel of the Add Parameter dialog. The Name, Description, and Value for each instance of the parameter you want to monitor displays in the right GUI panel of the Add Parameter dialog.

For rstat monitors to be enabled, djrpc.jar and rstatcl.jar need to be in  <SOAtest installation>\eclipse\plugins\com.parasoft.xtest.libs.web_<version>/root and added to the classpath.

The rstatcl.jar is added to  <SOAtest_Installation>\<SOAtest_Version>\eclipse\plugins\com.parasoft.xtest.libs.web_<version>\root upon installation.

The djrpc.jar must be purchased and copied to <SOAtest installation>\eclipse\plugins\com.parasoft.xtest.libs.web_<version>/root.
