Your environment has been set.

BUT it looks like the PATH is not kept

Cristians-MacBook-Pro:bin cris$ echo $PATH
/Users/cris/perl5/perlbrew/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin

so i got :

java weblogic.WLST
Error: Could not find or load main class weblogic.WLST

Any idea why PATH is not set after running the ./setWLSEnv.sh ?

Thanks

The command ./setWLSEnv.sh runs the setup script in a subprocess; it sets the environment variables in that subprocess, and then exits... and the variable settings vanish along with that subprocess. In order for it to do anything useful, you must run the script in the current shell process with the source command, or its synonym .:

. setWLSEnv.sh
