TRAIN_Q127 | IBM How to troubleshoot the error "Failed to process response headers" - United States datapower; failed; parse; process; error; network; connection; persistent; headers; response headers; failed to process response headers; 7993; 7993; 7993; machine type 7993 TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
What does this error mean?
General error that is always seen:
[servicetype][error] wsgw(policyrule): tid(196761)[error][x.x.x.x]: Failed to process response headers
Specifically from a Web Service Gateway:
[ws-proxy][error] wsgw(Proxy): tid(1234567)[10.2.3.4]: Backside header failed to parse due to: Failed to process response headers
[ws-proxy][error] wsgw(Proxy): tid(1234567)[error][10.2.3.4]: Failed to process response headers
Additional log information might be seen while at the debug log level.
CAUSE
When you read this error, keep in mind that it is thrown from a rule within a policy of a service. This error almost always means that the policy did not receive any data. If you increase the logging from error to debug, you should see network failures surrounding the response header error.
In almost every event, this error is caused by a connection failure.
The error is correct, the service did not receive any response headers or data. The key to help confirm this is to increase the log level to debug. This will allow you to see the network debug errors around the context of the service error.
ANSWER
The classic causes of this are either of these two:
A slow response that causes the connection to timeout before receiving the response
A failed connection attempt due to a closed persistent connection or some other connection issue that prevents the WebSphere® DataPower device® from connecting to the backend. For example, a reused connection would be attempted and found to already be closed out by something outside of DataPower®.
An example of this is explained here:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21417934&wv=1 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21417934&wv=1]
There are a broad range of network errors that can trigger this to error. A packet trace is the key to capture the problem and confirm what type of failure is the cause. A log with event subscription of "all" "debug" will also help correlate and confirm the packet trace data.
In some cases, a simple work around to try is to lower the DataPower persistent timeout or disable persistent connections. If this does not prevent the problem, then analysis of the packet trace and error report are required. | How precise is DataPower's backside persistent timeout value related to intermittent "Failed to Process Response Headers" error messages?
I have a service on DataPower with a backside persistent timeout value set to 28 seconds. The actual backend device has a persistent timeout setting of 30 seconds.
Since my service is configured with a lower persistent timeout value than 30 seconds, why am I still seeing the following error intermittently?
Wed June 25 2009 09:20:02 [0x80000001][xsltmsg][error] mpgw (MyGateway): tid(8675309)[error][9.x.x.x]: Failed to process response headers | In almost every event, this error is caused by a connection failure.

TRAIN_Q130 | IBM DataPower Gateways Firmware Support Lifecycle - United States datapower;support;lifecycle;support lifecycle;maintenance;firmware;release;releases;firmware releases;upgrade;upgrades;features;defect NEWS
ABSTRACT
This document provides information on the IBM DataPower Gateway Firmware Support Lifecycle.
CONTENT
IBM® DataPower® Gateway is a purpose-built gateway that provides security, traffic control, mediation and optimized access to a full range of mobile, web, application programming interface (API), service-oriented architecture (SOA), B2B and cloud workloads. It supports multi-cloud deployment and is available in Docker container, Linux application, VMware virtual machine and physical appliance form factors.
IBM provides flexible support options to meet the needs of your business and minimize any business impact. The IBM DataPower Gateways end-of-service support policy applies differently between hardware and firmware.
Hardware
DataPower physical appliance hardware is supported for a minimum of five years, starting at the General Availability of the new product. Beginning with the 8436 models, standard appliance service and support is available for five years from the end-of-marketing (EOM) date as described in the IBM Appliance Support Handbook [http://www.ibm.com/support/customercare/sas/f/applhandbook/home.html].
For end-of-service information on physical appliances, see IBM DataPower Gateways End of Service dates [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21317845].
Firmware
Businesses are building modernized digital platforms to drive innovation and disruption within the industry. IBM DataPower Gateways are a core component in these platforms and it needs to deliver new business functionality to keep pace with business innovation.
Effective with DataPower Gateway firmware V7.6 [https://www.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?infotype=AN&subtype=CA&htmlfid=897/ENUS217-265&appname=USN], DataPower introduces a Continuous Delivery (CD) model to accelerate delivery of new capabilities and meet market needs. DataPower CD will consist of two releases:
1. CD release approximately once per quarter * Only the most recent CD release is supported at a given time.
2. Long Term Support (LTS) release every 12 months. * LTS releases are for customer seeking enhanced stability and do not wish to upgrade on the CD schedule, while CD releases are intended for customers seeking the latest features.
* The first LTS release post 7.6 GA will be within two years. Subsequent LTS releases will occur every 12 months.
* LTS releases will be supported for a minimum of 2 years.
Firmware V7.6 and later have no extended support plan available for any release of DataPower Gateway. IBM will publish a notice of support discontinuance (end-of-service) for a LTS releases at least 12 months before the effective date.
Firmware V7.5 and earlier will remain on the traditional IBM DataPower Gateway support model where they will be supported for a minimum of 2 years. There is no extended support plan available for any of these releases. IBM will publish a notice of support discontinuance (end-of-service) for releases at least 12 months before the effective date.
Note: IBM DataPower Gateways customers can use the following table to track how long their version and release of a particular firmware level will be supported. By using the information in this table, customers can effectively plan their firmware investment without any gaps in support.

TRAIN_Q134 | IBM web server Plugin may need LD_LIBRARY_PATH when used with Apache 2.2 - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
IBM web server Plug-in provides the connection between the web server tier and the IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) tier.
When using Apache 2.2 web server on Linux operating systems, the IBM web server Plug-in may need to have the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable set in a certain way, in order to be able to locate the IBM Global Security Kit (GSKit) libraries needed for SSL (HTTPS).
Without the GSKit libraries, the IBM web server Plug-in will be unable to initialize SSL, and will use only HTTP for connections to the WAS appservers.
SYMPTOM
During web server start-up, errors like the following will be logged into the Plug-in log file (http_plugin.log):
ERROR: lib_security: loadSecurityLibrary: Failed to load gsk library from /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins/gsk8/gsk8_64
ERROR: ws_transport: transportInitializeSecurity: Unable to load security library
ERROR: ws_server: serverAddTransport: Failed to initialize security
ERROR: ws_server: serverAddTransport: HTTPS Transport is skipped
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
To resolve the problem, you must set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to point to the library directory of the GSKit that comes with the IBM web server Plug-in. The precise directory location will depend of the version of Plug-in, and on the bit depth being used (32-bit or 64-bit).
For example.....
If you installed the 32-bit Plug-in v7.0 and are using with a 32-bit Apache 2.2, use this:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins/gsk7/lib/
If you installed the 64-bit Plug-in v7.0 and are using it with a 32-bit Apache 2.2, use this:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins/gsk7/gsk7_32/lib/
If you installed the 64-bit Plug-in v7.0 and are using it with a 64-bit Apache 2.2, use this:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins/gsk7/gsk7_64/lib64/
If you installed the 32-bit Plug-in v8.x and are using with a 32-bit Apache 2.2, use this:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins/gsk8/lib/
If you installed the 64-bit Plug-in v8.x and are using it with a 32-bit Apache 2.2, use this:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins/gsk8/gsk8_32/lib/
If you installed the 64-bit Plug-in v8.x and are using it with a 64-bit Apache 2.2, use this:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/IBM/WebSphere/Plugins/gsk8/gsk8_64/lib64/
Please note that for Apache 2.2 on Linux, simply setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable from the command line prior to starting the web server, MAY NOT WORK. In that case, you must set this variable as follows...
For SLES and SUSE Linux add the export command into the /usr/sbin/envvars file.
For RHEL Linux add the export command into the /etc/sysconfig/httpd file.
By adding the export command into the files shown above, it means that the environment variable will be set when the web server is started. That will enable the Plug-in to be able to locate the appropriate GSKit libraries and be able to initialize SSL transports.

TRAIN_Q135 | IBM NoClassDefFoundError running Java class selected from server plugin jar - United States wid; noclassdeffounderror; java; jar TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
The visual snippet editor allows you to search and find methods in classes available only on a restricted basis at runtime. A runtime exception occurs when the Java™ snippet calls a method in a class found in one of the plugin JARs in the server's plugins directory.
CAUSE
Some of the Java methods found in the JARs in the server's plugin directory are available to be called, but some of them are considered internal use only and an exception is thrown if you try to call them from user code.
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
A runtime exception is detected in the server log naming a class and method called from a visual snippet in the application.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
The reason the method you selected in the snippet editor cannot be called in the JAR in the plugins directory is because of the architecture of the server. JARs in the plugins directory have a list that specifies what classes in the JAR can be called. This is called the exports list, and it is honored by the class loader the server uses. Classes not on the list are considered internal use only. Thus, not all classes in the server plugin JARs are available to be called by user code.
You can call any method when the JAR is in the server's library directorym because it is not being treated as a plugin and a different class loader is used, one which does not implement the exports list.
The snippet editor is not aware of this mechanism so it treats a plugin JAR the same as a regular Java JAR file. That is it allows you to select the (unavailable) class and method to call in your program. The resolution is to make sure that classes you call in plugin JARs appear on the exports list.
For example you may search for StringUtils and find the class org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils in the WebSphere JAR plugin/com.ibm.ws.jpa.jar. This class is used internally by the plugin and it is not exported. In this case you must download the class you need directly from Apache and place the JAR in the server's classpath. | WAS runtime classpath does not match WAS Server Runtime library in RAD I've run into a classpath problem in WAS 8.0 for my web application. The problem is that it compiles fine i RAD but I get a NoClassDefFoundError in Runtime. | Some of the Java methods found in the JARs in the server's plugin directory are available to be called, but some of them are considered internal use only and an exception is thrown if you try to call them from user code. |

section below.
2.0 Problems fixed
==================
2.1 APARS:
-------------------
APAR: IV79406
Abstract: Duplicated entries of SQL Server on TADDM portal.
Additional Information: SQL Server instance discovered from ITM
DLA and TADDM Sensor was not reconciling on TADDM
and duplicates were seen. The reason for duplicates
was that the DLA naming rules were not matching
with the Sensors naming rules.
APAR: IV82234
Abstract: False databases are reported as Suspected.
Additional Information: The data collected for Database Detail is written
in <InstanceName>_DBD_PREV file. Due to improper file handling the
collector logs were written into this file which was causing collector
logs to be seen on the portal and triggering false alerts.
2.2 DEFECTS:
-----------------
DEFECT: 138512
Abstract: Improvement of table detail (KOQTBLD) algorithm.
Additional Information: The Table Detail information is now sorted
based on COLL_TBLD_SORTBY.
DEFECT: 138519
Abstract: Default instance of SQL Server is identified as 'MSSQLSERVER'
instead of hostname.
Additional Information: The default instance of SQL server used to get
configured with hostname and not MSSQLSERVER.
In an environment, where there was default instance and
a named instance having same name as hostname had issues
in configuration.
DEFECT: 140838
Abstract: Collector process crashes when collecting Statistics Summary
attribute group.
Additional Information: There was an access violation exception as agent
is trying to read from the memory that is already freed up.

5.0 Installation instructions
=============================
This fix can only be installed over an existing installation.
Use the following steps to install this fix.
5.1 Before installing the fix
-----------------------------
- The prerequisites listed under section 3.1 entitled 'Prerequisites
for this fix' must be installed before this fix can be installed.
- With reference to this README, the symbol <CANDLEHOME> is the
IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory. The default value
for CANDLEHOME is '/opt/IBM/ITM' on UNIX systems and 'C:\IBM\ITM'
on Windows systems.
Before installing this fix on UNIX systems, set the environment
variable CANDLEHOME to the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation
directory.
For example:
> CANDLEHOME=/opt/IBM/ITM
> export CANDLEHOME
- Refer to section 7.0 entitled "Known problems and workarounds"
before installation.
- Because there is no uninstall utility for this fix, make sure to
perform a backup of your environment before installing this fix.
5.2 Local agent update
----------------------
1. Transfer the appropriate archive file
(6.3.1.8-TIV-ITM_SQL-IF0001.tar or .zip) to a temporary directory
on the system that contains the agent code to be updated. For
the purpose of this README, the symbol <TEMP> represents the
fully qualified path to this directory.
Note: On Windows systems, this path includes the drive letter.
2. Expand the archive file using the "tar" command on UNIX systems
or an extract utility on Windows systems. This step creates a
directory structure that contains fixes for all of the
supported platforms.
3. Use the "itmpatch" command to install the fix for that agent
platform. For more information on the "itmpatch" command, see
section 6.2.
On Windows systems, if the fix was expanded to
<TEMP>\6.3.1.8-TIV-ITM_SQL-IF0001, the install command is:
For 32 bit Agent:
> <TEMP>\6.3.1.8-TIV-ITM_SQL-IF0001\itmpatch -h <CANDLEHOME>
-i <TEMP>\6.3.1.8-TIV-ITM_SQL-IF0001\KOQ_winnt_tema_if0001.cab
For 64 bit Agent:
> <TEMP>\6.3.1.8-TIV-ITM_SQL-IF0001\itmpatch -h <CANDLEHOME>
-i <TEMP>\6.3.1.8-TIV-ITM_SQL-IF0001\KOQ_wix64_tema_if0001.cab
Note : Use "itmpatch" command from <TEMP>\6.3.1.8-TIV-ITM_SQL-IF0001\
temporary directory.
5.3 Remote agent update
-----------------------
1. Transfer the appropriate archive file
(6.3.1.8-TIV-ITM_SQL-IF0001.tar or .zip) to a temporary directory
on the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server system. For the
purpose of this README, the symbol <TEMP> represents the fully
qualified path to this directory.
Note: On Windows systems, this path includes the drive letter.
2. Expand the archive file using the "tar" command on UNIX systems
or an extract utility on Windows systems. This step creates a
directory structure that contains fixes for all of the
supported platforms.
3. To add the agent fix bundles into the remote deploy depot, use
the "tacmd addBundles" command found in $CANDLEHOME/bin on UNIX
systems or in %CANDLE_HOME%\bin on Windows systems. For more
information on the "tacmd addBundles" command, see the IBM Tivoli
Monitoring Administrator's Guide.
On UNIX systems,
if the fix was expanded to <TEMP>/6.3.1.8-TIV-ITM_SQL-IF0001:
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd addBundles -n -i <TEMP>/6.3.1.8-TIV-ITM_SQL-IF0001
On Windows systems,
if the fix was expanded to <TEMP>\6.3.1.8-TIV-ITM_SQL-IF0001:
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd addBundles -n -i <TEMP>\6.3.1.8-TIV-ITM_SQL-IF0001
where:
-n indicates that prerequisite bundles are not automatically
added. The -n parameter must be used because the fix
directory does not contain any prerequisites that the fix
might require. Please see Section 3.1 for the prerequisites
for this fix.
-i is the directory that contains the deployment bundles to
be added to the depot.
4. To log in to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring server, and deploy
the fix to the appropriate nodes where the agent is running, use
the following "tacmd" commands. For more information on the
"tacmd login" and "tacmd updateAgent" commands, see "IBM Tivoli
Monitoring Command Reference".
On UNIX systems:
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd login -s <server>
-u <itmuser>
-p <password>
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd listSystems
The output shows the Managed System Name for the OS agent on the
remote system to be updated. Use this value as the target of the
"tacmd updateAgent" command.
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd updateAgent -t OQ -n <Managed system name> -v 063108001
On Windows systems:
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd login -s <server>
-u <itmuser>
-p <password>
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd listSystems
The output shows the Managed System Name for the OS agent on the
remote system to be updated. Use this value as the target of the
"tacmd updateAgent" command.
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd updateAgent -t OQ -n <Managed system name> -v 063108001
Note:
- The component (-t) for the "tacmd updateAgent" command is
specified as two characters (oq), not three characters (koq).
- The node (-n) for the "tacmd updateAgent" command is the
managed system name of the operating system (OS) agent to be
updated.
The target node for the "tacmd updateAgent" command is always
an OS agent.
5. To check if Remote Agent Update is SUCCESS/INPROGRESS/FAILED use the command
>tacmd getDeployStatus <transaction id>
where transaction id is the id provided after updateAgent command.
5.4 Agent support update
------------------------
Use the following steps to update the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server,
Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, or Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop.
1. Transfer the appropriate archive file
6.3.1.8-TIV-ITM_SQL-IF0001.tar or .zip) to the
Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Servers, Tivoli Enterprise Portal Servers
or Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktops.
2. Expand the archive file using the "tar" command on UNIX systems
or an extract utility on Windows systems. This step creates a
directory structure that contains fixes for all of the supported
platforms.
3. Expand the archive file (koq_tems_teps_tepd_if0001.tar or .zip)
that contains the updates for Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server,
Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, and Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop
using the "tar" command on UNIX systems or an
extract utility on Windows systems. This step creates a
directory structure that includes a subdirectory called CD-ROM,
with the necessary updates.
4. Use the Application Support Installer(ASI) script to launch either
GUI installation or silent installation of the application
support files.
Note: For IBM Tivoli Monitoring Version 6.3 or above, one
of the following additional steps must be performed.
1. Acquire a platform-specific pre-packaged JRE version
of the Application Support Installer (ASI). See IBM
Tivoli Monitoring Application Support Installer,
6.2-TIV-ITM_ASI-IF0002 at
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24034924 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24034924]
for download and installation instructions.
2. Specify the '-j javahome' parameter with the path to
a java(r) 1.5 or java 1.6 installation when running
the itmasi.sh or itmasi.bat script described below.
GUI installation option
------------------------
The GUI can be started by using one of the following commands
from within the CD-ROM directory where setup.jar is located.
On UNIX systems:
> ./itmasi.sh [-h <CANDLEHOME>] [-j <JAVAHOME>]
On Windows systems:
> itmasi [-h <CANDLEHOME>] [-j <JAVAHOME>]
where:
-h <CANDLEHOME> - Required. The path to the IBM Tivoli
Monitoring installation directory.
-j <JAVAHOME> - Optional. The fully-qualified path to the
"bin" directory where Java(R) is installed.
The location of Java on your system might
vary.
When prompted by the Application Support Installer for the
installable media directory, select the CD-ROM directory, not
the component directory. The installer can install updates for
multiple components at the same time.
Silent installation option
--------------------------
To use the silent installation option, use one of the following
commands from within the CD-ROM directory where setup.jar is
located.
Note: Agent support upgrade for IBM Tivoli Monitoring Version 6.3
or above on Linux, zLinux, Solaris and windows operating systems
requires the following files contained in interim fix
6.2-TIV-ITM_ASI-IF0002. This is applicable to both GUI and
silent installation option of agent support upgrade.
- Linux: setupLinux.bin
- zLinux: setupLinux390.bin
- Solaris: setupSolaris.bin
- Windows: setupwin32.exe
Follow the installation instructions contained in the
"6.2-TIV-ITM_ASI-IF0002.README".
On UNIX systems:
> ./itmasi.sh -h <CANDLEHOME>[-silent]
[-r <response file>]
[-j <JAVAHOME>]
On Windows systems:
> itmasi -h <CANDLEHOME> [-silent]
[-r <response file>]
[-j <JAVAHOME>]
where:
-h <CANDLEHOME> - Required. The path to the IBM Tivoli
Monitoring installation directory.
-r <response file> - Required. Customized response file name.
The default response file "response.txt" in
the CD-ROM directory can be copied and
modified as per your environment.
-j <JAVAHOME> - Optional. The fully-qualified path to the
"bin" directory where Java(R) is installed.
The location of Java on your system might
vary.
5. The next panel presented by the Application Support Installer
asks for the selection of which Tivoli Monitoring components
you want to add application support to.
For this fix, the check boxes should be set as follows:
Unchecked - Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server(TEMS)
Checked - Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server(TEPS)
Checked - Tivoli Enterprise Desktop Client(TEPD)
Continue through the remaining GUI panels selecting the
Microsoft SQL Server 06.31.08.01 support to complete the
installation.
Note: When support is installed using CLI or GUI for any of the
above Tivoli Monitoring components, they are restarted.
6. If the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop or Tivoli Enterprise
Portal Browser was running when the update was installed, it
must be restarted.
6.0 Additional installation information
=======================================
Any existing Microsoft SQL Server Agent instances should be restarted
after the installation of this fix.
6.1 Installation instructions for agent baroc file
--------------------------------------------------
Fix (6.3.1.8-TIV-ITM_SQL-IF0001) includes changes to the agent
baroc files which need to be reinstalled. If you have already
installed these baroc files, there are no additional installation
steps. If not, refer to IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Installation
and Setup Guide under "Installing monitoring agent baroc files
on the event server" in "Installing the IBM Tivoli Enterprise
Console Event Synchronization" section for more information.
6.2 Additional information on using "itmpatch" command
----------------------------------------------------
The "itmpatch" command has the following syntax.
Usage: itmpatch -h <installation home> [OPTIONS]
itmpatch -h <installation home>
-t { <patch_file_directory> | <patch_file> }
itmpatch -h <installation home>
-i { <patch_file_directory> | <patch_file> }
where:
-h Specifies the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory
-i Specifies the path to the directory or patch file to be
installed
-t Generates a report of the actions to be taken by the patch
For example, on UNIX systems:
- To preview the fix installation, use the "-t" option:
> <CANDLEHOME>/bin/itmpatch -h <CANDLEHOME> -t <TEMP>
- To install the fix, use the "-i" option:
> <CANDLEHOME>/bin/itmpatch -h <CANDLEHOME> -i <TEMP>
where:
<CANDLEHOME> is the fully qualified IBM Tivoli Monitoring
installation directory. On Windows systems, this path must include
the drive letter.
<TEMP> represents the fully qualified directory specification where
the fix is located. On Windows systems, this must include the drive
letter.
6.3 Verifying the update
------------------------
1. To verify the agent was updated correctly, use the "tacmd" command
to view the agent's current version after the agent is restarted.
You are required to log in to a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring
Server prior to viewing the agent version.
For example:
On UNIX systems, where $CANDLEHOME is the IBM Tivoli
Monitoring installation directory, the default location
is '/opt/IBM/ITM'.
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd login -s <server>
-u <itmuser>
-p <password>
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd listSystems -t OQ
On Windows systems, where %CANDLE_HOME% is the IBM Tivoli
Monitoring installation directory, the default location
is 'C:\IBM\ITM'.
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd login -s <server>
-u <itmuser>
-p <password>
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd listSystems -t OQ
Note:
- The component (-t) for the tacmd "listSystems" command is
specified as two characters (OQ), not three characters (KOQ).
When the agent update is successful, the agent version is:
06.31.08.01.
After the agent is restarted, you can also use the GUI to verify
the agent was successfully updated.
For the agent on Windows systems, the version number is
06.31.08.01.
2. To verify the agent support files were updated correctly, use
the "kincinfo" command on Windows systems or the "cinfo" command
on Linux or UNIX systems. The sample output below shows the
versions of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, Tivoli
Enterprise Monitoring Server, or Tivoli Enterprise Portal
Desktop systems after this fix has been successfully applied.
Note: The displayed build date and installation date might not
be accurate. This is known problem.
On UNIX or Linux systems:
-------------------------
To validate that all components have been installed, run the
following command:
./cinfo -i
On Windows systems:
-------------------
To validate that all components have been installed, run the
following command:
For example:
> %CANDLE_HOME%\InstallITM\kincinfo -i
C:\Users\Administrator>kincinfo -i

after patch upgrade the collector process keeps on restarting
Workaround: In this patch, the name of default instance is changed from
HOSTNAME to MSSQLSERVER (Defect 138519). Hence, the previously
configured default instance with name as HOSTNAME will not
work properly. So, it is required to unconfigure default
instance (with name hostname) and configure it with name as
MSSQLSERVER.
Following are the steps to unconfigure and configure:
1. Open Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services
(MTEMS) window.
2. Right click on template row and go to
"Configure Using Defaults".
3. Select the default instance with name as HOSTNAME
from 'Server To Monitor' list box and click on ">>" button
to unconfigure it.
4. Select the instance with name 'MSSQLSERVER' in
'Database Servers Available' list box and click on "<<" button
to configure this instance.
5. Set the configuration parameters and start the agent.
Abstract: KOQ.SAVE registry is created for 631FP8 agent
Problem: When a configured instance is un-configured or 631FP8 agent is
uninstalled, the KOQ.SAVE registry is created.
Workaround: In case of upgrade to 6318IF1, manually delete the
KOQ.SAVE registry.

IV79406, IV82234 | Unexpected instance name for SQL Server agent after FP10
Hello,
on a new server I have installed SQL Server agent 6.31 FP10 and then tried to create an instance. On the server we run a single instance of SQL Server (default instance) so I would expect it to be discovered with the server hostname as it was in the past. But the "Configure Database Agents” pane discovers and shows one instance with name “MSSQLSERVER” instead of the machine hostname.
There are no errors in the OQ_LocalConfig.log file. Why does it happen ? | Abstract: Default instance of SQL Server is identified as 'MSSQLSERVER'
instead of hostname.
Additional Information: The default instance of SQL server used to get
configured with hostname and not MSSQLSERVER.
In an environment, where there was default instance and
a named instance having same name as hostname had issues
in configuration. |
TRAIN_Q137 | IBM ERRORCODE=-4499, The application server rejected establishment of the connection. - United States -4499; JCC; SQL State = 08004; Error Code = -4; 499 TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Attempt to connect to a database using Type 4 JCC driver fails with the following exception:
java.sql.SQLException:
[jcc][t4][2057][11264][3.53.95] The application server rejected establishment of the connection. An attempt was made to access a database, <database name>, which was either not found or does
not support transactions. ERRORCODE=-4499,
SQLSTATE=08004 DSRA0010E: SQL State = 08004, Error Code = -4,499
CAUSE
Using DCS DB alias or local alias name of the database in the connection string will cause this error.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
The URL format for IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ type 4 connectivity is:
* "jdbc:db2://<server name>: <portnumber>/<database name>";
In the Type 4 JDBC JCC driver connection string used,
* If the connection is to a DB2 for Linux,Unix,Windows server, the database name should be the Target database name in the database server, it should not be the local alias name cataloged in the client.
* If the connection is to a DB2 for z/OS server, database name is the DB2 location name that is defined during installation. All characters in the DB2 location name must be upper-case characters. The IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ does not convert lower-case characters in the database value to upper-case for IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ type 4 connectivity.
* The location name can be found by executing the following SQL statement on the server: * SELECT CURRENT SERVER FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1;
The target database name can also be found from the DCS directory on the client using the command: * db2 list dcs directory.

PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
If you need to reconfigure an IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA appliance you can use the "reinitialize" CLI command.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Note: The appliance should NOT be initialized if sitation described in the technote exists - http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21659259 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21659259] - appliance gets into Fail-Safe mode. It may be necessary to return the appliance to IBM for repair.
The reinit CLI command will allow you to reconfigure an IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA appliance. The reinit CLI command will allow you to delete (not erase) all existing configuration and data from an IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA appliance.
When the reinitialize command completes, your network IP configurations, user accounts and other configuration options, are no longer accessible.
You will only be able to connect to the appliance using the serial connection.
You will need to configure your Ethernet and all other settings again using the information in the product information center available from our library page [http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/datapower/library/index.html].
Important points:
* Make sure you have a working serial connection to the appliance.
* The admin password will revert to the initial value of "admin" after the command executes.
* A firmware image must be on the appliance prior to running the command. The firmware image used for the last upgrade of the device is removed from the file system automatically when the device reboots. Use DataPower's File Management WebGUI option to confirm you have an image or use these CLI commands:
xi52# configure
xi52# dir image:
If an image file is not found, you will need to load a firmware image to the appliance into the image:/// directory. For example: you can use the WebGUI file management options or from the Control Panel, choose the System Control icon, the under Boot Image, choose the firmware file upload options.
* Use the DataPower File Management to confirm you have sufficient file space. If you don't have sufficient file space, you can delete domains or other files to free up file space to allow the firmware image to be loaded to the appliance.
* reinit is a CLI command available in the config-flash# mode, for example:
xi52# configure terminal
Global configuration mode
xi52(config)# flash
Flash configuration mode
xi52(config-flash)#
reinit <filename>
Where <filename> represents a firmware image contained within the image:/// directory. This will be the firmware image which will be installed during the reinit process. For more CLI commands, refere to the following doc link:
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/wsdatap/v5r0m0/nav/4_4 [http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/wsdatap/v5r0m0/nav/4_4]
* After the appliance reboots: * If the firmware image used was for V5 or newer, you will need to accept the license at first logon to the WebGui Configure the appliance per the instructions in the appliances configuration guide. This and other documentation on the appliance is available from our library page [http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/datapower/library/index.html].
The command is documented in the information center. This and other documentation on the appliance is available from our library page [http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/datapower/library/index.html].
If your appliance has the optional RAID (hard drives) reinitialize the RAID using the information in our RAID technote [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21358544].
If your appliance has the optional HSM, reinitialize the HSM following the instructions in our HSM book or infocenter for your release of the product. These are available on our library page [http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/datapower/library/documentation/].

TRAIN_Q145 | IBM Generating Java diagnostic dumps for IBM Integration Bus - United States mqiinfo; java dumps; java core; core; force TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Use the procedures below to collect java diagnostics dumps from IBM Integration Bus (IIB).
Java diagnostic dumps contain:
- all Java threads running in a process (Java core or javacore files)
- objects populating the heap space (Heap dump or heapdump files)
- tracepoint information (Snap trace or snaptrace files)
- internal system information (System dump)
These files can be used to diagnose problems such as lock conditions, loops, or memory allocation in Java code.
Gathering this information before calling IBM Support will help familiarize you with the troubleshooting process and save you time.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
JAVACORE DUMP INSTRUCTIONS
New javacore dump commands have been made available from IIB v10.0.0.9, onwards.
- The new procedure uses the mqsichangeproperties command.
- The old procedure uses a custom message flow, and is only applicable for operating systems that use the IBM JRE.
Note:
Collection of Java core dumps is an invasive activity and will impact the performance of the Integration Server process.
JAVA DUMP COMMAND FOR IIB V10.0.0.9+
Use this command to generate a Java dump on IIB v10.0.0.9+:
mqsichangeproperties <Int.Node> -e <Int.Server> -o ComIbmInternalSupportManager/Java/JVM -n dump -v <dump_type>
The following dump types are supported:
All Platforms
-v heap Produces a Java Heap dump
IBM JRE Platforms (All platforms except HP and Solaris) -v core Produces a javacore -v system Produces a system dump -v all Produces a heapdump, javacore, and system dump
Dump files are output to $MQSI_WORKPATH/common/errors
JAVA DUMP PROCEDURE FOR IIB PRIOR TO V10.0.0.9
Use this procedure to create an IIB message flow that will trigger a Java dump for an Integration Server:
1. Create a new message flow containing an Input node and a JavaCompute node.
2. In the JavaCompute node, call the method 'com.ibm.jvm.Dump.JavaDump()'.
3. Deploy your message flow to the target Integration Server.
4. Recreate the conditions that necessitate the Java dump.
5. Invoke your message flow by sending a message to the Input node.
6. The dump files should be output to $MQSI_WORKPATH/common/errors.
Note:
This procedure requires the use of the IBM JRE.
Therefore, it is not suitable on Solaris or HP platforms which do not use the IBM JRE.

TRAIN_Q151 | IBM How to Proxy SSL request from DataPower to Remote Proxy Server? - United States Forward Proxy XMLFW MPGW CONNECT TUNNEL TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
How to configure an IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliance Service to proxy an SSL request to a remote proxy server using the CONNECT method for SSL tunneling?
CAUSE
Many common forward proxy servers expect requests in different formats depending on if they are proxying non-SSL or SSL requests.
For example, a non-SSL request to be proxied may come in the form of GET hostname:port/URI.
For SSL requests to be proxied, remote proxy servers are commonly configured to tunnel the request from the client to the backend server.
In the SSL request scenario, remote proxy servers will typically expect a CONNECT request and then tunnel the SSL request from the client to the backend server.
Users configuring DataPower may need a way to implement this CONNECT method for SSL tunneling to a remote Proxy Server.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Non-SSL Proxy requests will work using either:
a) an XML Firewall when configuring in the HTTP Options tab, where the user can configure the Proxy Host and Port
b) a Multi-Protocol Gateway when configuring an HTTP Proxy Policy in the User Agent
SSL Proxy requests will work using the CONNECT method for SSL Tunneling when using a Multi-Protocol Gateway when configuring in a User Agent's HTTP Proxy Policy.
The XML Firewall service is not designed to use the CONNECT method for SSL Tunneling. | Does IBM DataPower Gateway Appliance support the HTTP CONNECT method? Does IBM DataPower Gateway Appliance support the HTTP CONNECT method for non-SSL proxy requests? | Non-SSL Proxy requests will work using either:

TRAIN_Q152 | IBM EIF probe not receiving itm events - United States om_tec.conf eif probe itm event clearing omnibus TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
ITM is sending events to EIF probe which is then forwarded to the OMNIbus Server. Client is observing that the clearing event is sent per the ITM trace/log but the event does not seem to be received into EIF or OMNIbus as the triggered event is still seen in OMNIbus.
SYMPTOM
Situation in ITM is no longer true but event is not cleared in OMNIbus.
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
The iptrace shows that the EIF probe on the OMNIbus side is resetting/closing(<RST>) the TCP/IP connection after it receives the event and it never shows up in the EIF logs, so the event is just dropped.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
The solution is to set the connection_mode in your om_tec.config on the ITM Server (TEMS) to use
connection_less
instead of
connection oriented.
That is, change this line in your om_tec.config
ConnectionMode=co
to
ConnectionMode=connection_less
You will need to restart the EIF on your ITM. (tacmd refreshTECinfo -t eif) | EIF probe not receiving itm events Why is the event in the netcool isn't cleaned ? | The solution is to set the connection_mode in your om_tec.config on the ITM Server (TEMS) to use

TRAIN_Q155 | IBM Case insensitive searches in IBM Content Navigator - United States ICN case sensitive TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
How can a search field be enabled as case insensitive in IBM Content Navigator (ICN)?
ANSWER
ICN does not provide a feature to turn on or off case sensitive searches. All metadata searches in ICN are case sensitive by default. However, depending on the repository, case insensitive searches can be performed by doing the following:
- For FileNet P8 repositories; set the Force Case Insensitive Search flag on the object store.
- For Content Manager repositories; the administrator will firstly need to enable text search on metadata, then a text search will need to be done in ICN against the metadata by enclosing the metadata value in double quotes.
Alternatively, a request filter can be written to change the case of a query to all upper or all lower case. | Is it possible to make where filter to case insensitive in My Inbox? Workplace OOTB feature - 'Tasks-->My Inbox--> Filter inbox based on field where' the filter is case sensitive. but our expected result is case insensitive.

TRAIN_Q158 | IBM FileNet Workplace XT war and ear files are unusually small - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
When creating the IBM FileNet Workplace XT archive files with either the Content Platform Engine Client Files installation or the IBM Case Manager's "Deploy IBM FileNet Workplace XT" configuration manager task , the resulting war and ear files are only a few kilobytes in size and contain the create_web_client_war.sh and create_web_client_ear.sh files.
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
The ceclient_install_log or warerr.log file will contain the following error:
ERROR:
"create_web_client_war.sh[5]: cd: .WorkplaceXT: [No such file or
directory]"
When attempting to install the resulting archive file to IBM WebSphere Application Server, the following error is returned.
IWAE0006E Archive is not a valid WAR File because the deployment descriptor can not be found (case sensitive): WEB-INF/web.xml
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
The create_web_client_war.sh script that creates the web_client.war file contains a change directory (CD) operating system command so the WorkplaceXT directory will be included in the archive. This CD command fails with a "No such file or directory" error.
This failure can be caused by the CDPATH operating system environment variable being set. The CDPATH environment variable is used to define the base directory to be used for the CD command. A side effect of setting the CDPATH is that CD commands in scripts may jump to unintended directories.
For example, the error below indicates that the operating system cannot find the WorkplaceXT directory off the root of the file system instead of the expected "<WorkplaceXT_install_directory>/IBM/FileNet/webclient/" directory.
ERROR:
"create_web_client_war.sh[5]: cd: .WorkplaceXT: [No such file or
directory]
To resolve this problem, unset the CDPATH operating system environment variable while creating the IBM FileNet Workplace XT war and ear files. | Why are my IBM FileNet Workplace XT war and ear files are unusually small?

TRAIN_Q161 | IBM MQJMS1068 error occurs when trying to create an XA connection from WebSphere Application Server to MQ - United States MQPRB MQPRB3189 TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
When attempting to create an XA connection to WebSphere® MQ from either WebSphere Application Server Version 7.x or Version 8.x with a connection factory that uses the Client Channel Definition Table (CCDT), the following error appears in the application server's SystemOut.log file:
J2CA0056I: The Connection Manager received a fatal connection error from the Resource Adaptor for resource <connection factory>. The exception which was received is javax.jms.JMSException: MQJMS1068: failed to obtain XAResource
CAUSE
The reason why it is not possible to use the CCDT with XA connections is related to transaction recovery.
If the application server stops while there are still active transactions, there is no way with the current implementation to ensure that it will connect to the same queue manager when it restarts. This can lead to in-doubt transactions being left dangling, and never resolved.
It is hoped that this restriction will be resolved in future releases of WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere MQ.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
The use of the Client Channel Definition Table (CCDT) with XA connections is not supported.

Getting background information on EJBDeploy
All Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE ) EJB applications go through an EJB deployment phase in which your application is customized to run in an application server. Typically, this is accomplished by a deployment tool that is specific to the application server. It generates code to allow your EJB to run within an EJB container. Some application server products' deployment tools alter the bytecode of your application classes rather than generating code ;however, the end result is similar.
The EJBDeploy Tool
Historically, EJB deployment in the Application Server product has been performed by the EJBDeploy tool, which is included with WebSphere® Application Server and packaged with the development tools for the WebSphere products.
The EJBDeploy tool inspects the external interfaces for your enterprise beans, generates wrapper code as .java files, and compiles the code using the javac compiler. The resulting .class files are packaged in your EJB module with your application code. For modules including and previous to EJB 2.1, the EJBDeploy tool must be invoked manually.
Please note that in WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.x and below, the tool can only deploy Java EE applications compiled with a JDK level of 7 or below. To deploy JDK 8 compiled web applications, please upgrade to WebSphere Application Server V9. | Is Java 8 supported for EJBDeploy on WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.9 or later?

PROBLEM
After migrating to IBM WebSphere Portal V7.0, you may not be able to navigate to or display the Web Content Manager (WCM) out-of-box page or the authoring portlet. In addition, some related functions in the user interface might not work or might generate exceptions when accessed. Clicking buttons in the authoring portlet may generate the following error in the log:
*
* IWKAP0009E: Servlet not enabled
*
If this occurs, you must re-enable these features manually after migration.
CAUSE
The migration process can disable some new out-of-the-box features if the feature did not exist in the previous release or if it was updated. In particular, the Portal page required for the reserved authoring portlet is missing and the permissions on the AJAX proxy servlet are not set correctly.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
To re-enable the affected features manually after migration, do the following:
1. Make sure that the page on which the WCM authoring portlet is installed uses a theme with client-side rendering such as the Page Builder theme.
2. Deploy the hidden Portal page on which the reserved authoring portlet is installed.
3. Run the following task from the wp_profile_root / Config Engine directory.

TRAIN_Q178 | IBM After restoring BigFix server database, ILMT/BFI/SUA server may not import all the data since the restore correctly - United States sequance number; resotre; database; missing data; gap TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
THIS DOCUMENT APPLIES ONLY TO THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGE VERSION(S):
English
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
After you restore the BigFix database and run an import, new data is not displayed in BFI/SUA/LMT even after successful ETL imports.
SYMPTOM
Not all data reported already by endpoints to BigFix server are visible in LMT/BFI console. This may include scan results, capacity data, etc.
CAUSE
BFI/SUA/LMT is designed to import only newly created data. To achieve this, the data is marked with the so-called sequence number. The sequence number is incremented during every change, upload, scan, etc. Every import contains data starting from the sequence number reported during the last successful import to the current sequence number.
When the database is restored, the sequence number is restored to the value from the time when the database backup was created. Because of that, it might happen that the sequence number after the restoration is lower than the sequence number reported during the last successful import. In such case, the first import after the database restoration does not include any data. After that import, the sequence number is updated and the next import contains new data. Depending on your scan settings, you might need to wait some time for the import that contains new data.
When the database is restored, the sequence number is restored to the value from the time when the database backup was created.
Data for the period from the last successful import before the restoration of the database until the restoration is never imported (obviously, as the data was removed by restoring the DB) and needs to be re-generated by re-running the scans if needed.
Data from DB restoration time until first successful import is also by default not imported (causing a gap). To cover this gap you may follow the procedure described below.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Warning: The following procedure will impact the length of the first import after the sequence is reset. After performing below steps ALL DATA from all endpoints available on BigFix server side will be imported (not only covering the problematic gap). For big environments the impact may be huge and it is better to re-run scans on selected endpoints instead.
1) Ensure that the import is not running and stop the BFI/SUA/LMT server.

TRAIN_Q182 | IBM Configuring the Tomcat Data Collector to run as a Windows service - United States ITCAM; J2EE; Tomcat; Windows; Service; CAMJ2ALL; CAMJ2INST; CAMJ2TCDC TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
What is the correct procedure to configure the ITCAM for J2EE Data Collector for Tomcat to run as a Windows service?
CAUSE
There is an option to specify the Tomcat Windows Service during GUI configuration of the ITCAM J2EE 7.1.1 agent/DC. This option does not work and will result in a failed configuration.
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21961542&aid=1] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21961542&aid=1]
This option will be removed from the drop down menu for the Tomcat DC Configuration, according to APAR PI43783.
ANSWER
Tomcat on Windows platforms must be installed from a base distribution, that is extracting a .zip file named like apache-tomcat-7.0.62.zip, even though one plans to start Tomcat only as a Window Service, and not with a startup script.
If you install Tomcat from the Windows Service Installer (e.g. apache-tomcat-7.0.62.exe), rather than a base distribution, some of the command-line and startup scripts for launching Tomcat will not be included, and you won't be able to complete the following procedure.
1- Configure the DC using the Normal Startup option.

On a supported Windows 64-bits platform with the YJ 7.1.1.0.0 installed in E:\IBM\ITM\, and with a Tomcat 7 running a supported version of Sun HotSpot JRE , this will result in the following stanza being added into the <AppServer_home>\bin\catalina.bat file:

You might want to check at this point if the DC is correctly started when you start the Tomcat via the startup.bat script, even though you will start Tomcat as a Windows Service in the future.
2- Right-click the Tomcat Service icon on the Windows taskbar and click Configure.
3- When the Apache Tomcat properties window opens, click the Java™ tab.
4- From the open catalina.bat file, copy the value for JAVA_OPTS, and paste it into the text box labelled Java Options (in the Apache Tomcat Properties window).

TRAIN_Q187 | IBM HTTP Session time-out settings and overwrite precedence rules - United States WebSphere http session management time-out wasrun precedence overwrite TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
It is possible to set the HTTP Session time-out in various places on the IBM® WebSphere® Application Server Administrative Console. It is also possible to set HTTP Session time-out for the application packaging process.
Since Session time-out can be set in multiple places, it is necessary to understand how the ultimate Session time-out for an application is determined.
CAUSE
Application needs HTTP session time-out set.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
The HTTP Session time-out can be set in the following places:
* From the Administrative Console at the server, Enterprise application, and Web application levels
* At the time when the application is packaged
* In the application code
Setting the HTTP Session time-out from the Administrative Console
1. To set the HTTP Session time-out at the server level, navigate to Servers > Application Servers > Your Server > Web Container > Session Management.
In the Session time-out section of this window, you can select No time-out or Set time-out by clicking the appropriate radio button. If you choose to set the time-out, type the desired value in minutes in the box.
2. To set the HTTP Session time-out at the Enterprise Application level, navigate to Applications > Enterprise Applications > Your Application > Session Management.
Check Override in the Override Session Management section, then select to set the time-out and the time-out value. This sets the application session to overwrite those values set at the parent, which in this case is the Server level.
3. To set the HTTP Session time-out at the Web Application level, navigate to Applications > Enterprise Applications > Your Application > Web Module > Your Web App.war > Session Management.
Check Override in the Override Session Management section, then select to set the time-out and the time-out value. This sets the Application Session to overwrite those values set at the parent levels, which in this case is the Server or Enterprise Application level.
After modifying these settings, save the master configuration.
Setting HTTP Session time-out when application is packaged
The application developer can also select to set the HTTP Session time-out parameter when the application is packaged. This value is stored in the web.xml file for the Web application.
This setting overrides any session time-outs defined from the Administrative Console. Alter this setting by repackaging the application with a new value, or by modifying the web.xml file. The entry in the web.xml will be as follows:
<session-config>
* <session-timeout>60</session-timeout>
*
* </session-config>
Where the "session-timeout" is an integer value for the desired session time-out in minutes.
Setting HTTP Session time-out from the application code
Finally, the HTTP Session time-out can be set in the application code. The programmer can invoke the setMaxInactiveInterval() method on HttpSession object to set the time-out value as desired. This setting overrides any time-out defined in the application package or made from the Administrative Console.
HTTP Session time-out Override Precedence Summary
The list below shows the precedence from which the final HTTP Session time-out is derived.
1. Server Level [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21163875&aid=1] Lowest level 2. Enterprise Application [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21163875&aid=1] Overrides the Server Level if Override is selected 3. Web Application [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21163875&aid=1] Overrides the Server and Enterprise Application settings if Override is selected 4. Application Level (web.xml) [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21163875&aid=1] Overrides Server, Enterprise Application, and Web Application settings 5.

QUESTION
Is using a monitored JBoss Application Server with ITCAM for J2EE supported in a Windows service?
ANSWER
When you configure the JBoss Application Service to run as a Windows service, you will download the JBoss native connectors [http://jbossweb.jboss.org/downloads/jboss-native-2-0-10] and modify the service.bat file.
The JBoss service is not available to run as a Windows service when configured with the ITCAM for J2EE agent/DC because this involves changes to the JBoss native connector files and this is currently not supported. Additionally, there's no option to specify the Service name when configuring the JBoss server during the configuration steps.
If you are using JBoss AS 7.1 or JBoss EAP 6.1.0 or 6.2.0 or 6.3.0, then you will need the to use the latest patch first, [https://developer.ibm.com/answers/questions/208313/how-do-i-download-the-new-itcam-for-j2ee-711-la-if.html]then run the standalone.bat (or domain.bat) program from the command-line after successful configuration.

TRAIN_Q190 | IBM Switching Business Process Choreographer Explorer back to using HTTP from HTTPS - United States DOWNLOADABLE FILES
ABSTRACT
In Business Process Manager Advanced Version 8.0.1, the default protocol used by Business Process Choreographer Explorer was changed to use HTTPS. You can switch it back to HTTP.
DOWNLOAD DESCRIPTION
When Business Process Choreographer Explorer uses the default secure HTTPS protocol, any attempts to access Business Process Choreographer Explorer using HTTP are redirected to use HTTPS. If you need Business Process Choreographer Explorer to support insecure HTTP connections, you can use the unsecureExplorer.ant script to switch the protocol used from HTTPS to HTTP.
Attention: It is not recommend to use the insecure HTTP protocol. Using HTTP for the Business Process Choreographer Explorer can open your organization to possible security problems.
Switching to HTTP
If you need to switch Business Process Choreographer Explorer from HTTPS to use HTTP, complete the following actions:
1. Download the unsecureExplorer.ant script file, which is attached near the bottom of this page.
2. If you previously switched Business Process Choreographer Explorer to use HTTP, but are performing this task again because you are installing an interim fix, fix pack, or refresh pack that updated Business Process Choreographer Explorer has reverted it back to the default HTTPS protocol, you must first delete the old (invalid) backup EAR file before running the script.
* On Linux, UNIX-based and z/OS platforms, delete the install_root/ProcessChoreographer/internal/bpcexplorer_secure_backup.ear file.
* On Microsoft Windows platforms, delete the
install_root\ProcessChoreographer\internal\bpcexplorer_secure_backup.ear file.
3. Run the script to patch the bpcexplorer.ear file. In a network deployment environment, you must run the script on the deployment manager. * On Linux, UNIX-based and z/OS platforms, enter the following command:
install_root/ws_ant.sh -f unsecureExplorer.ant
* On Windows platforms, enter the following command:
install_root\ws_ant.bat -f unsecureExplorer.ant
Note: A backup copy of the original EAR file is created named bpcexplorer_secure_backup.ear.
4. Deploy the patched bpcexplorer.ear file by updating the profile. For more information about updating profiles for an interim fix, see one of the following documents: * For version 8.0.1.x: Profile update instructions for IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) interim fixes [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21608414].
* For version 8.5 and later: Profile update instructions for IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) interim fixes [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21637449].
Remember: In the future, if you install an interim fix, fix pack, or refresh pack that updates the Business Process Choreographer Explorer, it will revert to using the default secure HTTPS protocol. If that happens and you still need the Business Process Choreographer Explorer to use the HTTP protocol, you must complete these steps again to re-enable the HTTP protocol.
Switching back to HTTPS
If you need to switch Business Process Choreographer Explorer back from HTTP to HTTPS, complete the following actions: 1. Change to the directory where the backup EAR file is located. * On Linux, UNIX-based and z/OS platforms, its location is
install_root/ProcessChoreographer/internal
* On Windows platforms, its location is
install_root\ProcessChoreographer\internal
2. In that directory, copy or rename the backup EAR file bpcexplorer_secure_backup.ear to bpcexplorer.ear and overwrite any existing copy.
3. Deploy the original HTTPS version by updating the profile. For more information about updating profiles for an interim fix, see one of the following documents: * For versions 8.0.1.x: Profile update instructions for IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) interim fixes [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21608414].

PRODUCT ALIAS/SYNONYM
BPM | Does anyone know how to disable HTTPS to HTTP redirection for BPC Explorer?
It appears that by default, BPC comes configured with https instead of http.
Is there a way to configure BPC to use http instead or are there steps for configuring BPC to use http? Need to avoid accessing BPC explorer via https. | 1. Download the unsecureExplorer.ant script file, which is attached near the bottom of this page.
2. If you previously switched Business Process Choreographer Explorer to use HTTP, but are performing this task again because you are installing an interim fix, fix pack, or refresh pack that updated Business Process Choreographer Explorer has reverted it back to the default HTTPS protocol, you must first delete the old (invalid) backup EAR file before running the script.
* On Linux, UNIX-based and z/OS platforms, delete the install_root/ProcessChoreographer/internal/bpcexplorer_secure_backup.ear file.
* On Microsoft Windows platforms, delete the
install_root\ProcessChoreographer\internal\bpcexplorer_secure_backup.ear file.
3. Run the script to patch the bpcexplorer.ear file. In a network deployment environment, you must run the script on the deployment manager. * On Linux, UNIX-based and z/OS platforms, enter the following command:
install_root/ws_ant.sh -f unsecureExplorer.ant
* On Windows platforms, enter the following command:
install_root\ws_ant.bat -f unsecureExplorer.ant
Note: A backup copy of the original EAR file is created named bpcexplorer_secure_backup.ear.
4. Deploy the patched bpcexplorer.ear file by updating the profile.

TRAIN_Q199 | IBM Using WASServiceCmd to create Windows services for WebSphere Application Servers - United States wasservice; was service; wasservice command; websphere windows service; wasservice cmd; versiongap TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
WASServiceCmd.exe is a front end for WASService.exe, which is shipped with WebSphere Application Server. WASService.exe is required in its default directory for adding, updating, and removing WebSphere Services in Windows.
Notice: In WebSphere Application Server v8 and later, this utility is shipped with the product under the name of WASServiceHelper.bat in the bin directory.
Reference:
Using the WASServiceHelper utility to create Windows services for application servers
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSAW57_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.nd.doc/ae/tins_wasservicecmd.html [https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSAW57_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.nd.doc/ae/tins_wasservicecmd.html]
See DeveloperWorks article for detailed information: (Link at the bottom of this document)
SYMPTOM
Creating and removing a WebSphere service in Windows is confusing and error prone.
CAUSE
This application takes several parameters which can be confusing to the user along with several long path strings leaving opportunities to setup incorrectly.
ENVIRONMENT
Windows
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
1. Place the WASServiceCmd.exe utility in the following directory:
install_root\bin
2. Launch the command from the command line.
3. The WASServiceCmd utility prompts you to select specific options and settings from a list and then calls the WASService.exe command passing all selected parameters. This greatly reduces the time it takes to create a Windows service for WebSphere Application Server and reduces the opportunity for user errors.
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21397335&aid=1] Flash demonstration [http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/websphere/appserv/support/tutorials/wasservicecmd.swf]
Note: This also creates an entry in the WASServiceCmd.log in the current directory which contains the actual WASService.exe command used to create the service.
Example of a log entry:
[Fri Aug 14 12:22:01 -0500 2009] WASService.exe -add "Deployment Mgr01" -serverName "dmgr"
-profilePath "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\Dmgr01"
-logRoot "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\Dmgr01\logs\dmgr"
-logFile "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\Dmgr01\logs\dmgr\WS_startdmgr.log" -encodeParams -stopArgs "-username vanno -password ****** "

TRAIN_Q202 | IBM Finding if Table created as NOT LOGGED INITIALLY - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
How to find if Table was Created as NOT LOGGED INITIALLY?
ANSWER
We can use either of the following methods to Check if Table was created as 'Not Logged Initially'
1)Using db2cat,
db2cat -db <dbname> -n <TableName> -s <Schema> -t | grep "Table not logged"
Which can confirm if given table was created as NLI or not.
Sample Output
----------------------
Connecting to the Database.
Connect to Database Successful.
Table not logged : 0
----------------------
Table not Logged showing '0' represent Table was not created as NLI, if it returns '1' then that is table was created as NLI.
2)Using db2look
Using db2look command to get DDL information on the table which would show you if
the table was created as "NOT LOGGED INITIALLY"
Example:
db2look -d <database_name> -t <table_name> -e -o <output_file_name.out>
NOTE: Table Alter with ACTIVATE NOT LOGGED INITIALLY will not be listed in these above commands as it will activate NLI only for current Unit of work.
NOTE:In DB2 V8 the LOG_ATTRIBUTE column in the SYSCAT.TABLES table was used to
check if a table was created as NOT LOGGED INITIALLY.
But Starting from DB2 V9 this column is no longer being used and will always have a value of 0.

TRAIN_Q203 | IBM DataPower off-device logging: a configuration example - United States datapower; 7993; machine type 7993; logging; off device; off device logging; log target; off-device; syslog; debug log level; debug; log level TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
This technote gives an example of how to enable off-device logging on an IBM® WebSphere® DataPower® appliance. This can be very helpful when a debug log level is needed to help isolate a problem or monitor behavior over a long period of time or can be used in production environment as DataPower only keeps a limited number of log files (the default is 3 files) in the file system in a rotational basis.
CAUSE
The DataPower device has a finite amount of space to hold larger than average log files or long term logging needs in production environment.
It should be noted that if used while debugging at load or in a capacity issue, log events may be dropped. There is a prioritization of events within the device and client traffic always comes first. Log events dropped can be confirmed or counted from the Status>Log Targets menu in the WebGUI.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Configure a server daemon to listen and capture the DataPower devices events. First, this example shows how to create the log target sending events to a syslog destination. The other examples listed below will have their own strong points to be considered depending on the problem scenario.
Syslog:
* The syslog protocol operates over UDP which has no guarantee on packet delivery - a fast fire and forget method.
To create the new log target, go into the default domain: Objects > Log Targets
Configure the log target with settings as follows from the WebGUI:
1. Name the log target
2. Select Target Type of syslog
3. Fill in the Local Identifier with a descriptive string that may be used by a remote recipient to identify this specific log target
4. Enter the Remote Host Address and the Remote IP Port as in the screen shot wherex.x.x.x is the IP address of the remote syslog server that listens on port 514
5. Take all other defaults
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21269136&aid=1] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21269136&aid=1]
Under the Event Subscriptions tab, you can select all and debug as indicated here:
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21269136&aid=2] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21269136&aid=2]
*
* 6. Generate log events in the DataPower by using some transactions, for example by saving the configuration from the WebGUI or running some test load into a domain.
Syslog-ng, will simply work over the TCP protocol to ensure the packet is delivered to the destination. The same consideration should be applied to a device under high load in that a log event could be dropped if not able to be wrote out to the network within time.
NFS:
All NFS limitations apply from file size and permission settings. This is a more common approach using an NFS static mount to capture a log target and can allow for slightly more reliable messages to be logged. The limiting factor again is the speed of the network and NFS server response time.
File type:
Using a file type log target with a backup method as seen here:
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21269136&aid=3] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21269136&aid=3]
This will allow log events to quickly be written to a local file on the device's file system. Once the file reaches its set size a connection to the destination will upload the file from the device. This will upload with a unique time and date stamp on the uploaded file.
This is a useful method to capture sporadic problems. This is also useful for long running transactions that may span more than one file depending on device load.
HTTP service:
Finally a clever method that may be used in some senarios would be an HTTP service on the device.
Using an HTTP service configured in the following way,
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21269136&aid=4] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21269136&aid=4]
Once the file type log is created in the logtemp:/// directory, a client browser or wget type client can easily retrieve the file from the device.
This is very useful when there is no local or accessible remote log storage location to the device, due to firewall or network restrictions.
This is also removing the limitation of the device dropping the log event should it not be able to write the log event to the network.
Each of the above methods are very useful and work better in some scenarios than others depending on the network, load, problem, and information needed. This is intended to be a guide to help you decide which method would be best for your scenario. | Limitations of sylog-TCP log target using DataPower Gateways I am trying to configure a log target using type syslog-TCP.

QUESTION
The import task failed with "INFO: Upload replication check failed with error: getservbyname_r failed (Java::JavaLang::RuntimeException)" after patching BigFix/ILMT RedHat Linux server.
CAUSE
TEMA version: 9.2.2.0-20151209-1636
After patching BigFix/ILMT Redhat Linux server, the import task started to fail with the following error in the import log:
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg22004607&aid=1] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg22004607&aid=1]

The $PATH environment variable shows:
echo $PATH
/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin
Even re-installing the glibc 32-bit library rpm package again and rebooting the RedHat server as well, it won't resolve the issue.
Note: same error will occur when modifying the datasource setting as well as described in the above technote link.
ANSWER
The problem is resolved after upgrading to ILMT 9.2.7 and the import task continues to work successfully. Most likely this is due to the ILMT 9.2.2 application expecting a specific version of glibc 32-bit library file and it won't work if a newer version is found after the patching the RedHat Linux server.

5.1 Before installing the fix
-----------------------------
- The prerequisites listed under section 3.1 entitled 'Upgrade prerequisites
for this fix' must be installed when upgrading.
- For the purpose of this README, the <CANDLEHOME> symbol is the
IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory. The default value
for CANDLEHOME is '/opt/IBM/ITM' on UNIX systems and 'C:\ibm\itm'
on Windows systems.
- If you customize the Extended Monitoring Agent for WebSphere DataPower Appliance
bn.ini file on a UNIX system, back up this file before installing the fix.
After this fix is installed, edit the latest bn.ini file and merge
your modifications into this bn.ini file.
5.2 Local agent install and update (including silent installation)
--------------------------------------------------------------
1. Transfer the appropriate archive file to a
temporary directory on the system that contains the agent code to be
updated. For the purpose of this README, the <TEMP> symbol represents
the fully qualified path to this directory.
Note: On Windows systems, this path includes the drive letter.
2. Expand the archive file by using the tar command on UNIX systems or
an unzip utility on Windows systems. This expansion creates a directory
structure that contains fixes for all supported platforms.
3. Use the procedures in the "IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 FP3
Installation and Setup Guide" to install the agent.
4. Use the procedures in the specific monitoring agent user's
guide to complete the installation and configuration.
5.3 Remote agent update and installation
----------------------------------------
1. Make sure that all potential targets of the remote deployment are
running version 6.2.3 Fix Pack 4 or later of the OS monitoring
agent.
2. Transfer the appropriate archive file to
a temporary directory on the Tivoli Enterprise
Monitoring Server system. For the purpose of this README, the
<TEMP> symbol represents the fully qualified path to this directory.
Note: On Windows systems, this path includes the drive letter.
3. Expand the archive file by using the tar command on UNIX systems or an
unzip utility on Windows systems. This expansion creates a directory structure
that contains fixes for all supported operating systems.
4. To add the fix pack bundles to the remote deployment depot, use the
tacmd addBundles command found in $CANDLEHOME/bin on UNIX systems
or in %CANDLE_HOME%\bin on Windows systems. For more information
about the tacmd addBundles command, see the "IBM Tivoli
Monitoring Command Reference."
On a UNIX system: if the fix was expanded to
<TEMP>/<PARTNUMBER>:
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd addBundles -i <TEMP>/<PARTNUMBER>/WINDOWS/Deploy -t bn -f
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd addBundles -i <TEMP>/<PARTNUMBER>/unix -t bn -f
where:
-i is the directory that contains the deployment bundles to be
added to the depot.
-t is the product code of the product to add, for example, bn
represents the Extended Monitoring Agent for WebSphere DataPower Appliance
-f shows that the actions are complete and confirmation is not requested
On a Windows system: if the fix was expanded to
<TEMP>/<PARTNUMBER>:
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd addBundles -i <TEMP>\<PARTNUMBER>\WINDOWS\Deploy -t bn -f
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd addBundles -i <TEMP>\<PARTNUMBER>\unix -t bn -f
where:
-i is the directory that contains the deployment bundles to be
added to the depot.
-t is the product code of the product to add, for example, bn
represents the Extended Monitoring Agent for WebSphere DataPower Appliance
-f shows that the actions are complete and confirmation is not requested
5. To login to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring server and deploy
the fix to the appropriate nodes where the agent is running, use
the following tacmd commands. For more information about the
tacmd login and updateAgent commands, see the "IBM Tivoli
Monitoring Command Reference."
On a UNIX system:
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd login -s <server>
-u <itmuser>
-p <password>
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd listSystems
The output shows the managed system name for the OS agent on the
remote system to be installed/update. Use this value as the target of the
tacmd addsystem/updateAgent command.
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd addsystem -t bn
-n <Managed system name>
-p <Configration Info>
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd updateAgent -t bn
-n <Managed system name>
-v 071003000
On a Windows system:
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd login -s <server>
-u <itmuser>
-p <password>
> %CANDLE_HOME%/bin/tacmd listSystems
The output shows the managed system name for the OS agent on the
remote system to be installed/updated. Use this value as the target of the
tacmd addsystem/updateAgent command.
> $CANDLEHOME%\bin\tacmd addsystem -t BN
-n <Managed system name>
-p <Configration Info>
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd updateAgent -t BN
-n <Managed system name>
-v 071003000
Note:
- The component (-t) for the updateAgent command is specified as
two characters (bn), not three characters (kbn).
- The node (-n) for the updateAgent command is the managed system
name of the operating system (OS) agent to be updated. The
target node for an updateAgent command is always an OS agent.
- The component (-p) for the addsystem command is for agent's configuration info.
Here is an example:
INSTANCE="value"
KQZ_SNMPEVENT.KQZ_SNMPEVENT_PORT="162"
KQZ_SNMPEVENT.KQZ_SNMPEVENT_SECURITY_LEVEL="authPriv"
KQZ_SNMPEVENT.KQZ_SNMPEVENT_USER_NAME="admin"
KQZ_SNMPEVENT.KQZ_SNMPEVENT_AUTH_PROTOCOL="SHA"
KQZ_SNMPEVENT.KQZ_SNMPEVENT_AUTH_PASSWORD="value"
KQZ_SNMPEVENT.KQZ_SNMPEVENT_PRIV_PROTOCOL="DES"
KQZ_SNMPEVENT.KQZ_SNMPEVENT_PRIV_PASSWORD="value"

DPC:<Managed_System_Name>.SNMP_HOST="value"
DPC:<Managed_System_Name>.SNMP_PORT="161"
DPC:<Managed_System_Name>.SNMP_COMMUNITY="public"
- The following error might occur with the updateAgent command on
Linux and UNIX endpoints; however, the agent is successfully
updated. This error does not occur on Windows endpoints.
KUICUA011I: Updating the bn agents.
KUICUA015E: The updateAgent command did not complete because an
error occurred. Refer to the following error
returned from the server:
The monitoring server encountered an error while updating the
managed system type.
The kuiras1.log file might provide more information about
this error. If you require further assistance to resolve the
error, contact IBM Software Support.
A timeout occurred while waiting for an agent task to complete on
{node name}.
The agent task did not complete within the configured
time out period.
Verify that the target system is online. Increase the
time out value and try the operation again.
5.4 Agent support update
------------------------
Fix 7.1.0-TIV-ITM_WDP-FP0003 included changes to the agent
support files that must be installed. If you installed these updates already, there are no additional installation
steps. Otherwise, use the following steps to update the Tivoli
Enterprise Monitoring Server, Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, or
Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop.
1. Transfer the appropriate archive file
to the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Servers, IBM Tivoli
Enterprise Portal Servers, or Tivoli Enterprise Portal desktops.
2. Expand the archive file by using the tar command on UNIX systems or an
unzip utility on Windows systems.
3. Use the procedures in the "IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 FP3
Installation and Setup Guide."
4. Use the procedures in the specific monitoring agent user's
guide to complete the installation and configuration.
5. If the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server that is updated is remote (not a
Hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server) then restart the Tivoli Enterprise
Monitoring Server.
6.0 Additional installation information
========================
6.1 Installation instructions for agent baroc file
-----------------------------------------------------
There are no updates to the baroc files included in this fix or
any of the superseded fixes. No additional installation steps are
required.
6.2 Additional information on new configuration item "KBN_SOMA_PROTOCOL"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A new configuration item "KBN_SOMA_PROTOCOL" is introduced to support TLS.
The value should be SSL/TLSv1/TLSv1.1/TLSv1.2. The default value is "TLSv1".
If you want to support TLSv1.1/TLSv1.2, please change it manually.
1. For Windows platform:
The new item "KBN_SOMA_PROTOCOL" is in KBNENV and KBNENV_<instanceName>.
a. Agent instance must be restarted to enable the new configuration change.
b. The vaule of "KBN_SOMA_PROTOCOL" in KBNENV_<instanceName> will be updated to
the same vaule of "KBN_SOMA_PROTOCOL" in KBNENV while the instance is re-configured.
2. For Linux/Unix platform:
The new items "KBN_SOMA_PROTOCOL" is in bn.ini and bn_<instanceName>.config.
a. Agent instance must be restarted to enable the new configuration change.
b. The vaule of "KBN_SOMA_PROTOCOL" in bn_<instanceName>.config will be updated to
the same vaule of "KBN_SOMA_PROTOCOL" in bn.ini while the instance is re-configured.
6.3 Verifying the update
----------------------------
1. To verify that the agent was updated correctly, use the tacmd command
to view the current version of the agent after the agent is restarted.
You are required to log in to a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring
Server before viewing the agent version.
For example:
On UNIX systems, where $CANDLEHOME is the IBM Tivoli Monitoring
installation directory, the default location is '/opt/IBM/ITM'.
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd login -s <server>
-u <itmuser>
-p <password>
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd listSystems -t or
On Windows systems, where %CANDLE_HOME% is the IBM Tivoli
Monitoring installation directory, the default location
is 'C:\IBM\ITM'.
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd login -s <server>

TRAIN_Q208 | IBM Developer for z Systems and Rational Developer for z Systems Backward/Forward compatibility - United States RDz; compatible; backward; forward; IDz; Debug Tool: Debugger TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
What levels of the IBM Developer for z Systems and Rational Developer for z Systems host and client are compatible?
ANSWER
Client/Server Compatibility
In general, IBM Developer for z Systems, Rational Developer for z Systems and Rational Developer for System z follow a two level backward and forward compatibility tolerance for basic Client /Server functionality.
IBM Developer for z Systems v14.1.x host/client is compatible with IBM Developer for z Systems v14.1.x client/host, IBM Developer for z Systems v14.0.x client/host and Rational Developer for z Systems v9.5.x client/host.
IBM Developer for z Systems v14.0.x host/client is compatible with IBM Developer for z Systems v14.1.x client/host, IBM Developer for z Systems v14.0.x client/host, Rational Developer for z Systems v9.5.x client/host and Rational Developer for System z v9.1.x client/host.
Rational Developer for z Systems v9.5.x host/client is compatible with IBM Developer for z Systems v14.1.x client/host, IBM Developer for z Systems v14.0.x client/host, Rational Developer for z Systems v9.5.x client/host and Rational Developer for System z v9.1.x, and v9.0.x client/host.
Rational Developer for System z v9.1.x host/client is compatible with IBM Developer for z Systems v14.0.x client/host, Rational Developer for z Systems v9.5.x client/host and Rational Developer for System z v9.1, v9.0.x, and v8.5.x client/host.
Rational Developer for System z v9.0.x host/client is compatible with versions v9.5.x, v9.1.x, v9.0.x, v8.5.x and v8.0.x client/host.
Rational Developer for System z v8.5.x host/client is compatible with versions v9.1, v9.0, v8.5, v8.0.x, and v7.6.x client/host.
Basic Client/Server functionality includes:
• Connecting to a z/OS System
• Allocating z/OS Data sets
• Creating a z/OS Project
• Working with z/OS COBOL & Pl/I remote assets – edit, syntax check, submit, execute, debug and view the output
• Basic CARMA functionality
• Compatibility between service levels within a release is also supported (for example, using the v9.5 client to access a v9.5.1 server).
As an example, if you upgrade your Developer for z Systems host to 14.0.x, client versions v9.1.x, v9.5.x, v14.0 and v14.1.x are compatible with the 14.0.x server.
Likewise, if you upgrade your Developer for z Systems client to 14.0.x, server versions v9.1.x, v9.5.x, v14.0.x and v14.1.x are compatible with the 14.0.x client.
Note: Server enhancements that are client-dependent are not available to developers using earlier versions of the client.

TRAIN_Q209 | IBM Reducing the size of Decision Warehouse trace when running scenario suites - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
When running a Decision Validation Service scenario suite in Rule Team Server can the optional trace be filtered to reduce its size ?
ANSWER
It is possible to customize the Decision Warehouse (DW) trace that is used by the Scenario Suite Provider (SSP) when a Decision Validation Service (DVS) scenario suite is executed in Rule Team Server. The customization can filter out information that is not necessary to keep in the DW. A sample implementation is provided that removes information about all the rules that are not fired, which helps keep the size of the trace small when there is a large number of rules in the ruleset and typically a much smaller number of rules actually fire. Also, only the DW persisted trace is smaller, the original larger trace is still used by DVS to perform the tests involved in the scenario suite.
Instructions:
1. Unjar the attached jrules-ssptrace-src.jar to a local directory
2. Edit the file ./jrules-ssptrace/build.xml and modify the properties to reflect your environment setup ( in particular the jrules.home directory path, the sspInput and sspOutput file paths )
3. Using a command line from the directory ./jrules-ssptrace execute: ant repackage-ssp
4. Deploy the customized SSP (available as the sspOutput file path)

TRAIN_Q210 | IBM Wrap table column text in list tab - United States TPAEICD; wrap; table; col; length; line; feed TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
How to wrap table column text in list tab?
ANSWER
You can wrap table column text according to number of characters by using property wraplength in the tablecol tag e.g.
<tablecol dataattribute="description" id="results_showlist_tablebody_3" sortable="false" width="200" wraplength="100"/>
This will wrap the text once it reaches 100 characters into a new line.

TRAIN_Q217 | IBM Locating ITM Workspace Application Support Files for z/OS Agents - United States AppSupport OMEGAMON application support 350 360 410 420 610 601 700 TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
This technote addresses the commonly asked question of where can workspace application support files be found for z/OS Agents.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Before you can view data collected by monitoring agents, you must install application support for the agents on the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server and on the hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server. When you install application support on the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, you are installing the files required for presenting workspaces and online help for each monitoring agent. When you install application support on the hub monitoring server, you are installing the files required for product-provided situations, situation distributions, and other product-specific data. Installing application support on the hub monitoring server is also known as "seeding" the hub.
Most z/OS-based agents provide application support files on CDs or DVDs, which are separate from the mainframe installation media. Distributed agents include their application support files in the distributed installation process. Each CD /DVD that contains application support files is listed below, with information about which products use the CD /DVD and where the CD / DVD can be found. The latest level in fulfillment is the CD /DVD on this list. Where possible, IBM provides both .zip and .tar formats, as well as .iso format, so that a physical CD / DVD can be created.
Please note that the IBM Tivoli Monitoring (ITM) media is separate from the workspace application support files which are included with products that run in the ITM environment. ITM can be obtained by ordering either 5724-C04 IBM Tivoli Monitoring through Passport Advantage or the no charge 5698-A79 IBM Tivoli Management Services on z/OS through Shop zSeries. Your IBM rep can ask Techline to configure and submit the order as well. 5698-A79 includes the server, engine, and configurator on z/OS. Workspace application support files may have their own fixpacks which are separate and distinct from any ITM fixpacks. Fixpacks can be found on the product support urls at:
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/support/index_A_Z.html [http://www-306.ibm.com/software/support/index_A_Z.html].
The ITM Configuration Guide describes the application support installation process. It can be found online in the ITM information center at: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSTFXA_6.3.0/com.ibm.itm.doc_6.3/install/agent_support.htm [https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSTFXA_6.3.0/com.ibm.itm.doc_6.3/install/agent_support.htm]. A useful reference for this activity is a technote that lists all of the ITM product code. It can be found at:

TRAIN_Q221 | IBM What are the analyzer.db.updateMode parameter values for Case Foundation Case Analyzer? - United States performance TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
What are the analyzer.db.updateMode parameter values for Case Foundation Case Analyzer?
ANSWER
The analyzer.db.updateMode parameter controls the JDBC update method used by Case Analyzer when updating tables in the Case Analyzer store SQL database.
The default value is CUSTOM_BATCH. That means that the JDBC driver will use the CUSTOM_BATCH update method for Case Analyzer queries.
Another possible value is BATCH. That means that the JDBC driver will use the BATCH update method for Case Analyzer queries.
You can set the BATCH value for the analyzer.db.updateMode parameter with the following query in the Case Analyzer store database:
* UPDATE X_CAProperties SET PropValue='BATCH'

TRAIN_Q223 | IBM The off-line backup command could fail even when the database is quiesced on DB2 V10.1 and later. - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Offline-backup against the quiesced database failed with the error, SQL1035N.
It did not occur with V9.7. And it came to happen after migrating to V10.1 or later from V9.7.
SYMPTOM
The following example shows this situation.
1) In CLP 1 under the user having DBADM authority, execute quiesce database command on the database, sample.
$ db2 connect to sample
Database Connection Information
Database server = DB2/AIX64 10.5.7
SQL authorization ID = E105Q7A
Local database alias = SAMPLE
$ db2 quiesce database immediate force connections
DB20000I The QUIESCE DATABASE command completed successfully.
$ db2 terminate
DB20000I The TERMINATE command completed successfully.
2) In CL 2 under the user having only connect privilege on sample database.
Run the following shell repeating connect to sample..
$ cat connect.sh
#!/bin/sh
count=0
while [ $count -lt 1000 ]; do
db2 connect to $db
count=`expr $count + 1`
done
db2insth $ sh -x loop.sh
+ count=0
+ [ 0 -lt 1000 ]
+ db2 connect to sample
SQL20157N User with authorization ID "USER1" failed to attach to a
quiesced instance, or connect to a quiesced database or a database in a
quiesced instance which is in the following quiesce mode: "QUIESCE DATABASE"
SQLSTATE=08004
+ + expr 0 + 1
count=1
+ [ 1 -lt 1000 ]
+ db2 connect to sample
<snippet>
* connect to sample continues to fail with the error, SQL20157N because the database, sample is quiesced.
3) In CLP 1, execute the off-line backup command while executing the shell script under CLP2.
$ db2 backup db sample
SQL1035N The operation failed because the specified database cannot be
connected to in the mode requested. SQLSTATE=57019
* The backup command failed. But this error does not happen on V9.7.
For avoiding the error in offline-backup, use quiesce instance command with restricted access option.
CAUSE
Because of the code change in V10.1 GA, the off-line backup command could be blocked for short period of time while connect database command is executed.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Please use quiesce instance command with the "restricted access" option instead of the quiesce database command.
Or please retry off-line backup command after getting SQL1035N error.

TRAIN_Q227 | IBM MQ 7.1 and later: How to remove a channel authentication record (CHLAUTH) - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
You have added a channel authentication record into a WebSphere MQ 7.1 or later queue manager:
SET CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER(testuser) USERSRC(CHANNEL) ACTION(ADD)
AMQ8877: WebSphere MQ channel authentication record set.
Then you display it:
DISPLAY CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP)
1 : DISPLAY CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP)
AMQ8878: Display channel authentication record details.
CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP)
CLNTUSER(testuser) USERSRC(CHANNEL)
Now you want to remove it and you try executing the following runmqsc command which you constructed using copy and paste from the above output:
DELETE CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER(testuser) USERSRC(CHANNEL)
3 : DELETE CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER(testuser) USERSRC(CHANNEL)
You get the following error:
AMQ8405: Syntax error detected at or near end of command segment below:-
DELETE CHLAUTH
The DELETE CHLAUTH does not exist and after consulting the MQ 7.1 Information Center you read that you have to use the SET CHLAUTH command with the argument ACTION(REMOVE). You try now:
SET CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER(testuser) ACTION(REMOVE)
19 : SET CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER(testuser) ACTION(REMOVE)
But you get the following error:
AMQ8884: Channel authentication record not found.
You specified the attribute CLNTUSER(testuser) as it was shown in the output of the DISPLAY CHLAUTH(*), thus, you think the record should be found. You want to know what is the problem?
CAUSE
See the following section of the MQ 7.1 documentation:
WebSphere MQ > Administering > Administering local WebSphere MQ objects > Performing local administration tasks using MQSC commands
WebSphere MQ object names [http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_7.1.0/com.ibm.mq.doc/fa11060_.htm]
+ Case-sensitivity in MQSC commands
MQSC commands, including their attributes, can be written in upper-case or lower-case. Object names in MQSC commands are folded to upper-case (that is, QUEUE and queue are not differentiated), unless the names are enclosed within single quotation marks. If quotation marks are not used, the object is processed with a name in upper-case.
When specifying the SET command with the following value CLNTUSER(testuser) the string 'testuser' will be folded to upper-case resulting in the following value being actually used by runmqsc:
CLNTUSER(TESTUSER)
And in this case, there is no record for the user TESTUSER (the record is for 'testuser').
ANSWER
NOTICE that the userid mentioned in the CLNTUSER field of the output of the DISPLAY CHLAUTH command is NOT surrounded by single quotes.
However, you MUST include the single quotes when specifying the value during an ACTION(REMOVE):
SET CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER('testuser') ACTION(REMOVE)
1 : set CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER('testuser') ACTION(REMOVE)
AMQ8877: WebSphere MQ channel authentication record set.
++ Example of record with more attributes
Let's examine the case when a record has more attributes, such as:
SET CHLAUTH(MY.CHANNEL) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER('client_1') USERSRC(MAP) MCAUSER('user_1') ADDRESS('*') ACTION(ADD)
AMQ8877: WebSphere MQ channel authentication record set.
display CHLAUTH(MY.CHANNEL)
9 : display CHLAUTH(MY.CHANNEL)
AMQ8878: Display channel authentication record details.
CHLAUTH(MY.CHANNEL) TYPE(USERMAP)
DESCR( ) CUSTOM( )

You want to delete the record and you try the following command which is based on the command that worked well for a simpler case. But this time, it fails:
SET CHLAUTH(MY.CHANNEL) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER('client_1') ACTION(REMOVE)
AMQ8884: Channel authentication record not found.
You try the original command that created the record, but changing the action to REMOVE:
SET CHLAUTH(MY.CHANNEL) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER('client_1') USERSRC(MAP) MCAUSER('user_1') ADDRESS('*') ACTION(REMOVE)
AMQ8885: Parameter not allowed for this action on a channel authentication record.
The attribute USERSRC is not a valid parameter for the REMOVE action (see table below).
Therefore, by removing this attribute, then the following command worked successfully to remove the record:
SET CHLAUTH(MY.CHANNEL) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER('mengano') ADDRESS('*') ACTION(REMOVE)
AMQ8877: WebSphere MQ channel authentication record set.

TRAIN_Q228 | IBM SQL1763N error with Reason Code 11 while running "Alter Tablespace" command to reclaim unused storage space against DMS or automatic storage tablespaces. - United States SQL1763N; Alter Tablespace; reclaimable storage; DMS; Automatic storage table spaces; MON_GET_TABLESPACE; RECLAIMABLE_SPACE_ENABLED; SMS; DB2 Version 9.7; lower high water mark TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Receiving SQL1763N error with Reason Code 11 while running "Alter Tablespace" command to reclaim unused storage space against DMS or automatic storage tablespaces.
SYMPTOM
Following reasons apply:
* If the DMS or automatic storage tablespaces are not created in DB2 Version 9.7 or later, as the "Reclaimable Storage" is not available in tablespaces created in earlier versions(V9.1/V9.5) of the DB2 product.
* Trying to alter a SMS tablespace as this feature is not supported on SMS tablespaces.
Example testcase on a TEMPSPACE1 SMS tablespace.
*
*
* DB21034E The command was processed as an SQL statement because it was not a valid Command Line Processor command. During SQL processing it returned: SQL1763N Invalid ALTER TABLESPACE statement for table space "TEMPSPACE1" due to reason "11" SQLSTATE=429BC
*
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
MON_GET_TABLESPACE table function and RECLAIMABLE_SPACE_ENABLED monitor element can be used to identify whether the tablespace is enabled for reclaimable storage or not. Example:
db2 "SELECT varchar(tbsp_name, 30) as tbsp_name, tbsp_type, RECLAIMABLE_SPACE_ENABLED FROM TABLE(MON_GET_TABLESPACE('',-2))"
Snippet of the output:
TBSP_NAME TBSP_TYPE RECLAIMABLE_SPACE_ENABLED
----------------- ----------- -------------------------
SYSCATSPACE DMS 1
TEMPSPACE1 SMS 0
USERSPACE1 DMS 1
If the RECLAIMABLE_SPACE_ENABLED monitor element returns a value of 1, then the tablespace is enabled for reclaimable storage. Otherwise, it returns a value of 0.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
To use the reclaimable storage feature, make sure to create the DMS or automatic storage tablespaces in DB2 Version 9.7 or later. Example testcase on SYSCATSPACE DMS tablespace which has reclaimable storage enabled.
*
*
*
*
*
Note:
Tablespaces migrated from DB2 V9.1/V9.5 to V9.7 won't get upgraded directly to use the reclaimable storage feature. RELATED INFORMATION

to reclaim storage back to the OS, but does that mean DB2 cannot reuse
this space as well? | To use the reclaimable storage feature, make sure to create the DMS or automatic storage tablespaces in DB2 Version 9.7 or later. |

QUESTION
The Filter Analyzer reports the error:
"rule includes an unsupported expression"
when comparing two ObjectServer fields against each other and/or a field against GetDate within an EventReader Filter
CAUSE
This is a limitation in the functionality of the Filter Analyzer in Impact and can produce the log file message:
WARN [EventFilter] Could not consolidate filters. Please check if the filter expressions are valid. java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException
ANSWER
In the EventReader properties file:
$NCHOME/impact/etc/[ImpactServerName]_[EventReaderName].props
where [ImpactServerName] is the name of the ImpactServer (NCI by default) and [EventReaderName] is the lower-case name of the EventReader (for example: omnibuseventreader). Add the property:
impact.[EventReaderName].consolidatefilters=false
where, again, [EventReaderName] is the lower-case name of the EventReader (for example: omnibuseventreader).
Once this property has been added to the file an ImpactServer restart is required to enable it.
In a Clustered environment one would have to stop the Secondary ImpactServer(s) first, then stop and restart the Primary ImpactServer and then restart the Secondary ImpactServer(s) to ensure that the property is not overwritten and is distributed to each ImpactServer in the Cluster.
Please note that this issue relates to the use of the Filter Analyzer and does not impinge upon the EventReader ability to parse the Filter.
If you are unable to see the Filter being applied in the outgoing SQL for the EventReader please read the TechNote "EventReader Filters not applied to SQL select statement" [link below].

TRAIN_Q234 | IBM Using WASServiceCmd to create Windows services for WebSphere Application Servers - United States wasservice; was service; wasservice command; websphere windows service; wasservice cmd; versiongap TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
WASServiceCmd.exe is a front end for WASService.exe, which is shipped with WebSphere Application Server. WASService.exe is required in its default directory for adding, updating, and removing WebSphere Services in Windows.
Notice: In WebSphere Application Server v8 and later, this utility is shipped with the product under the name of WASServiceHelper.bat in the bin directory.
Reference:
Using the WASServiceHelper utility to create Windows services for application servers
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSAW57_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.nd.doc/ae/tins_wasservicecmd.html [https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSAW57_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.nd.doc/ae/tins_wasservicecmd.html]
See DeveloperWorks article for detailed information: (Link at the bottom of this document)
SYMPTOM
Creating and removing a WebSphere service in Windows is confusing and error prone.
CAUSE
This application takes several parameters which can be confusing to the user along with several long path strings leaving opportunities to setup incorrectly.
ENVIRONMENT
Windows
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
1. Place the WASServiceCmd.exe utility in the following directory:
install_root\bin
2. Launch the command from the command line.
3. The WASServiceCmd utility prompts you to select specific options and settings from a list and then calls the WASService.exe command passing all selected parameters. This greatly reduces the time it takes to create a Windows service for WebSphere Application Server and reduces the opportunity for user errors.
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21397335&aid=1] Flash demonstration [http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/websphere/appserv/support/tutorials/wasservicecmd.swf]
Note: This also creates an entry in the WASServiceCmd.log in the current directory which contains the actual WASService.exe command used to create the service.
Example of a log entry:
[Fri Aug 14 12:22:01 -0500 2009] WASService.exe -add "Deployment Mgr01" -serverName "dmgr"
-profilePath "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\Dmgr01"
-logRoot "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\Dmgr01\logs\dmgr"
-logFile "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\Dmgr01\logs\dmgr\WS_startdmgr.log" -encodeParams -stopArgs "-username vanno -password ****** "
-startType manual
-restart false WASServicecmd.zip [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21397335&aid=3] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21397335&aid=2]
Notice: Some browsers are having trouble downloading this file and getting docview.wss instead. Download this file, then rename the file with a ".zip" extension (for example, docview.zip or WASServiceCmd.zip). You can now access the utility.

TRAIN_Q241 | IBM TroubleShooting: JavaServer Pages (JSP) problems - United States JSPs; TroubleShootingDocument; troublehooting TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Troubleshooting JSP problems for WebSphere® Application Server. This should help address common issues with this component before calling IBM support and save you time.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
The following are some examples of common JSP problems and some basic information on how to resolve them:
* java.io.FileNotFoundException: JSPG0036E: Failed to find resource
If the browser displays a JSPG0036E: Failed to find resource message, the JSP processor cannot find the specified JSP page in the Web module, as shown below.
java.io.FileNotFoundException: JSPG0036F: Failed to find /Tests/index.jsp
at com.ibm.ws.jsp.webcontainerext.JSPExtensionProcessor.findWrapper (JSPExtensionProcessor.java:246)
at com.ibm.ws.jsp.webcontainerext.JSPExtensionProcessor.handleRequest (JSPExtentionProcessor.java:228)
...
Take following steps to verify URL being requested order to debug this exception:
To determine the URL of the installed application, you need to use the administrative console to view the configuration of a number of items. The format of the URL is as follows:
http://host:port/context_root/resource_name
Finding <host>:<port>
When a Web module is installed, a virtual host is associated with it. To find the virtual host using the WebSphere Application Server administrative console: 1. Select Applications > Application type > WebSphere Enterprise Applications.
2. Select the application name to open the details page.
In the Web module Properties section, click Virtual hosts.
3. Note the virtual hosts that are used by the specified application Web module.
To find the host and port numbers that are valid for the virtual host: 1. Select Environment > Virtual Hosts.
2. Choose the virtual host, and then under Additional Properties, click Host Aliases.
3. The list contains the host name and port combinations that can be used to access this virtual host. The host name column should contain values that are registered in a DNS server as a host name for the WebSphere Application Server. An asterisk (*) in the host column indicates that any name can be used. In this case, use the server host name.
Finding <context_root>
The context root is the Web application root and is used to identify the application in the URI. To find the context root: 1. In the WebSphere Application Server administrative console, click Applications > Application type > WebSphere Enterprise Applications.
2. Select the target application, then under Detail Properties, click View Deployment Descriptor.
3. Review the <context-root> tag for the specified Web module in the related deployment descriptor tag.
Finding <resource_name>
To find the initial file for the application (for example, index.jsp), you can look at the welcome file list in the Web deployment descriptor. As per J2EE specification, JSP files should reside under web module root or under sub directory other than META-INF and WEB-INF.
For example: * Web module root :
install_root\profiles\profile_name\installedApps<CELL>\<EAR>\<WAR>
In the preceding case, the index.jsp file should reside uner Web_module_root/Test directory. If not, than it explains this error message.
* JSP not reloading
If, after modifying and saving a JSP file, the change does not show up in the browser, you need to check the reload settings in the Web module configuration and the JSP runtime reload settings. For the JSPs, the Web container reloads a Web module only when the IBM extension reloadingEnabled in the ibm-web-ext.xmi file is set to true.
The following is an example of web module reloading settings in the ibm-web-ext.xmi file:
<webappext:WebAppExtension xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:webappext="webappext.xmi" xmi:id="WebAppExtension_1109270589179" reloadInterval="3" reloadingEnabled="true" fileServingEnabled="true">
Location of the ibm-web-ext.xmi file :
install_root\profiles\profile_name\config\cells\cell_name
\applications\<EAR>\deployments\app_name\<WAR>\WEB-INF\ibm-web-ext.xmi
Configuring JSP runtime reloading:
You have the ability to modify the JSP processor behavior for different JSP stages (such as development, testing, or production environments). This done by configuring specific attributes in the IBM Web module extensions that affect the JSP runtime reload behavior.
JSP files can be translated and compiled at runtime when the JSP file or its dependencies are modified. This is known as JSP reloading. JSP reloading is enabled through the reloadEnabled JSP engine parameter in the ibm-web-ext.xmi configuration file.
The JSP engine settings are stored in the ibm-web.ext.xmi file, as shown
<jspAttributes xmi:id="JSPAttribute_1" name="reloadEnabled" value="true"/>
<jspAttributes xmi:id="JSPAttribute_9" name="reloadInterval" value="3"/>
* Encoding and internationalization issues
Encoding and internationalization problems usually showup as garbage characters in Web pages and input from user interpreted incorrectly. Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) character processing is a common issue for encoding problems. DBCS is used for languages such a Chinese, Korean, and Japanese, where a single byte is not sufficient to represent all characters in the alphabet. Proper coding and configuration usually resolves these problems. For JSP pages, page encoding is the character encoding in which the file is encoded. For JSP pages in standard syntax, the page encoding is determined from the following sources: 1. The pageEncoding attribute of the page directive of the page
2. The charset value of the contentType attribute of the page directive
If none of these is provided, ISO-8859-1 is used as the default page encoding.
Page directive implementation in JSP code:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-15" %>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<TITLE>Receiving parameters</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>
Your data is <%= request.getParameter("name") %>
</H1>
</BODY>
</HTML>
The pageEncoding and contentType attributes determine the page character encoding of only the file that physically contains the page directive.
* java.lang.IllegalStateException
This exception is thrown when attempt is made to modify HttpServletResponse object after it has been committed.
If you have written something in the response buffer, you cannot forward a page:
[7/8/05 20:36:25:694 ART] 0000004f ServletWrappe E SRVE0068E: Could not invoke the service() method on servlet TestServlet. Exception thrown : java.lang.IllegalStateException

...
[7/8/05 20:36:25:784 ART] 0000004f SRTServletRes W WARNING: Cannot set status. Response already committed.
Calls to the following methods, after a committing response, will cause the java.lang.IllegalStateException error to occur: 1. setBufferSize(0)
2. reset()
3. resetBuffer()
4. sendError()
5. sendRedirect()
6. RequestDispatcher.forward() or performing jsp:forward
Two other common variants of this exception are:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Header already sent
One or more headers have been committed to the client, so you cannot set that header again.
java.lang.IllegalStateException: OutputStream already obtained
In case of JSP, the default output stream has always been created when the JSP has been translated to servlet. Creating and associating another output stream is the reason for this problem. The following piece of code will describe the reason for this error condition:
try
{
lStream = pResponse.getOutputStream();
lStream.write(lDocument);
lStream.flush();
}
catch (java.io.IOException ioe)
{
logger.error("Exception writing ... to page output stream.");
}
finally
{
try
{
if (lStream != null)
{
lStream.close();
}
}
catch (java.io.IOException ioe)
{
logger.error("Exception closing page output stream.");
}
}
Two output streams cannot be associated with one JSP file.
What to do next
If the preceding troubleshooting steps did not help solve your problem, see the MustGather [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg21255205] for JSP problems.

TRAIN_Q242 | IBM After upgrading to 7.0.1.0 you get SSL error AMQ9716 - United States AMQ9716 7.0.1.0 SSL OCSP SSL TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
You upgrade to WebSphere MQ 7.0.1.0 (or later) and have SSL enabled channels. After the upgrade you notice that in the Queue Manager error LOGs you see the following error message:
AMQ9716: Remote SSL certificate revocation status check failed for channel '????'.
The channel does not start.
SYMPTOM
Error AMQ9716
CAUSE
With the release of WebSphere MQ V7.0.1.0 the use of OCSP certificate revocation checking was included. With this new feature, most likely your SSL certificates have a OCSP AuthorityInfoAccess (AIA) certificate extension embedded inside them.
This was ignored before V7.0.1.0. Now it is being used to verify the certificate. The most likely cause of the failure is that the system can not access the servers listed in the AIA. This then returns a UNKNOWN status when the check is done. The default action for MQ is to not allow the channel to start and the AMQ9716 to be reported when the UNKNOWN is returned.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
The best thing to do in this case is to determine the cause of the UNKNOWN return code and fix it.
There are two possible methods to discover which OCSP AuthorityInfoAccess URL is embedded in a certificate.
Method 1.
Place the certificate on a Windows machine; ensure to use a file extension of "crt" and double-click it. View the detail extensions for the AIA.
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21399255&aid=1]
Method 2
Use IBM Key Management (gskit) GUI to view them. Issue the following command::
In Windows: strmqikm
In UNIX: gsk7ikm (MQ V7) or runmqckm (MQ V8)
From the IBM Key Management window:
Select View/Edit for certificate
View Details
Extensions
AuthorityInfoAccess
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21399255&aid=2]
The first step would be to insure that connection to the URL in your certificate can be reached.
Work-around:
Use this only as a temporary fix until the root cause can be found.
You can do the following. It will still do OCSP checking and if REVOKED is returned then the channel will not start. A GOOD return code will allow the channel to start. If UNKNOWN is returned it will not stop the channel from starting and the AMQ9716 will not be reported.
UNIX and Linux systems add the following to qm.ini
SSL:
OCSPAuthentication=OPTIONAL
To set for a Windows Queue Manager, run the following command:
amqmdain reg YourQMgrName -c add -s SSL -v OCSPAuthentication=OPTIONAL
The OCSPAuthentication setting is also applicable to clients and can also be set in the client ini file (e.g. mqclient.ini). Changes to the client OCSPAuthentication setting will take effect after the application is restarted.
On a queue manager, users will need to issue a REFRESH SECURITY TYPE(SSL) command (or the GUI/PCF equivalent) in order for the change in SSL settings to take effect.
OCSP provides your SSL channels with additional security. Once the cause of the AMQ9716 error has been addressed then you are strongly recommended to re-enable OCSP enforcement

Getting Delay or AMQ9716: Remote SSL certificate revocation status check failed when trying to start a MQ SSL channel, please help resolve this? The error can occur on the MQ server or also a MQ client application..
AMQ9716: Remote SSL certificate revocation status check failed
Remote SSL certificate revocation status check failed for channel '???'.
EXPLANATION: WebSphere MQ failed to determine the revocation status of the remote SSL
certificate for one of the following reasons:
(a) The channel was unable to contact any of the CRL servers or OCSP responders for the certificate.
(b) None of the OCSP responders contacted knows the revocation status of the certificate.
(c) An OCSP response was received, but the digital signature of the response could not be verified. | With the release of WebSphere MQ V7.0.1.0 the use of OCSP certificate revocation checking was included.

ANSWER
When a queue full event occurs, WebSphere MQ will disable the event. To ensure that subsequent queue full events will occur, the OMEGAMON XE for Messaging agent will re-enable the queue full event once it determines the queue is no longer full via an ALTER QL(qname) QDPMAXEV(ENABLED) command.

UP | Why is the reload() not clearing the attribute cache so I can see my newly updated LDAP data in real time? You are leveraging the reload() functionality as described in the blog post:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/PortalL2Thoughts/entry/how_to_programatically_refresh_data_from_ldap64?lang=en
to refresh the attribute cache after a change has been made to data within your LDAP. The purpose of this reload() is to update the data in real time on the Portal server. You discover that you are calling the reload(); however, the newly updated data is not immediately available to the application. How can this be fixed?

Applying service to z/OS
If you are applying service to z/OS, the Program Temporary Fix (PTF) packages must be downloaded as binary files, and then transferred to z/OS:
1. Download the PTF packages as binary files from the WebSphere Message Broker Support Site at http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/Software/WebSphere/WebSphere_Message_Broker [http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/Software/WebSphere/WebSphere_Message_Broker] and save the files to your workstation.
2. Allocate sequential datasets with the following attributes:
*
*
* Record format . . . : FB
* Record length . . . : 1024
* Block size . . . . : 6144
* 1st extent tracks . : 500
* Secondary tracks . : 50
You can use the following sample Job Control Language (JCL) to allocate these datasets: *
*
* INSERT A VALID JOBCARD HERE
* //*
* //ALLOCATE EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
* //SYSMOD1 DD DSN=YOUR HIGH LEVEL QUALIFIER (HLQ).PTF NUMBER.TRS,
* // DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
* // UNIT=SYSDA,
* // SPACE=(TRK,(500,50),RLSE),
* // DSORG=PS,
* // DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=1024,BLKSIZE=6144)
* //*
3. Transfer the binary files from your local workstation to z/OS. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) can be used to transfer the files to the target z/OS as binary files by using the replace option, for example: put PTF NUMBER.TRS 'YOUR HLQ.PTF NUMBER.TRS' (replace
4. Unpack the datasets using the TRSMAIN utility program. This utility is freely available at http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/390/trsmain.html [http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/390/trsmain.html].
You can use the following sample JCL to unpack the datasets after the changes have been made, and a suitable job card added:
*
*
* //* UNTERSE APAR
* //*****************************************************
* /UNPACK EXEC PGM=TRSMAIN,PARM='UNPACK'
* //STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=TERSE.LOADLIB
* //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
* //INFILE DD DSN=YOUR HLQ.PTF NUMBER.TRS,
* // DISP=SHR
* //OUTFILE DD DSN=YOUR HLQ.PTF NUMBER,
* // DISP=(NEW,CATLG),
* // SPACE=(TRK,(1000,100,))
* /*
5. Apply the resulting files using System Modification Program/Extended(SMP/E) for z/OS RECEIVE and APPLY.

TOP Known problems and their workarounds (if any): This section outlines the known problems and their workarounds (if any) of WebSphere Message Broker, by component.
TOP Installation
* Windows: Uninstallation executable program is not signed Symptoms:
If you run the WebSphere Message Broker uninstallation program uninstaller.exe, and you are using Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, a dialogue might be displayed warning that the uninstallation file is unsigned.
Solution:
This warning can be safely ignored. Continue with the uninstallation process.
* Windows: Attachment Manager Symptoms:
If you are installing an IBM product by using an electronic image from IBM Passport Advantage, and you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, your Windows Security settings might cause Attachment Manager to block the content of the installer .zip file, causing your installation to fail.
Solution:
To work around this problem, complete the following steps:
*
*
*
* Properties
*
*
*
* General
*
* Unblock
*
For more information about Windows Attachment Manager, refer to the Microsoft Support site at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883260 [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883260]
* HP-UX: Runtime component supplied on a physical DVD The installation image for the WebSphere Message Broker V8.0 GA runtime component has exceeded the 700 MB limit recommended for a physical CD. For this reason, the installation image for the HP-UX platform is supplied on a physical DVD rather than a physical CD. The installation image for the WebSphere Message Broker V8.0 GA runtime component is also available from the Passport Advantage website. For information about downloading WebSphere Message Broker Version V8.0 installation images from the Passport Advantage website, see the Download WebSphere Message Broker V8.0 from the Passport Advantage website download document, which is available at:
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24030968 [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24030968]
* Installing using the fix pack installer Symptoms:
The WebSphere Message Broker V8.0.0.0 GA runtime installer requires that you accept the license agreement.
The fix pack installer requires either that you install on a system that already has WebSphere Message Broker V8.0 GA installed, or that you provide the original WebSphere Message Broker V8.0 GA license files. The WebSphere message Broker V8.0 GA license files can be from either an existing V8.0 runtime installation, or from the original V8.0 installation media. The location of the license files is required only when you are installing a WebSphere Message Broker V8.0 fix pack on a system on which an installation of WebSphere Message Broker V8.0 GA has not been detected.
Solution:
GUI or Console installations
For a fix pack GUI or console installation where V8.0 does not already exist on the system, the installer will prompt you to provide the path to existing media licenses or an existing installation of V8.0.
Where V8.0 is already installed on the system, you should not be prompted for existing licences, and the installation will progress as normal.
Silent installations
For silent installations (full media or fixpack) you must always accept the license, so for example
For a full GA silent media installation
Add the argument: -DLICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE to your silent command, or to the response file you have referenced
For example on windows command line
setup32.exe -i silent -DLICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE
For a fix pack silent installation where V8.0 already exists on the system
Add the argument: -DLICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE to your silent command, or to the silent response file you have referenced
For example on windows command line
8.0.0-WS-MB-WINIA32-FP0001.exe -i silent -DLICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE
For a fix pack silent installation where V8.0 does not already exist on the system
Also add the argument: -DExternal_License_Path=<path to licenses> to your silent command, or to the silent response file you have referenced
For example on windows command line pointing at the original media in the D: drive
8.0.0-WS-MB-WINIA32-FP0001.exe -i silent -DLICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE -DExternal_License_Path="D:\messagebroker_ia_runtime1\license
Note if pointing at an existing installation of V8.0.0.0 the path is subtly different
For example on windows command line pointing at the original media in the D: drive
8.0.0-WS-MB-WINIA32-FP0001.exe -i silent -DLICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE -DExternal_License_Path="C:\Program Files\IBM\MQSI\8.0.0.0\license\8.0.0.0"
* Instructions for installing the WebSphere Message Broker runtime and ODBC Database Extender components with a non-root user ID Symptoms:
In the information center topic "Security on Linux and UNIX systems" (bh26031), steps 3d) and 3e) for installing the runtime and ODBC Database Extender (IE02) components with a non-root user ID are incorrect. If you follow the steps described in the topic, the product will not install correctly.
Solution:
Replace steps 3d) and 3e) in the topic with the following new steps 3d) to 3i):
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*

TOP Platforms
Ubuntu WebSphere Message Broker is supported on Ubuntu, but only for development systems. Production systems should not be used to run WebSphere Message Broker on Ubuntu.
For more information, see the WebSphere Message Broker system requirements page. The WebSphere Message Broker system requirements web page is available at:
http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wbimessagebroker/requirements/ [http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wbimessagebroker/requirements/]
* Unable to connect a node that has multiple output terminals to other nodes (116214) Symptoms
When attempting to connect a node that has multiple output terminals to other nodes, a connection is not created.
Solution
To work around this problem, complete one of the following steps:
* Set the following environment variable: GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
OR * Use a different window manager
Solaris and HP-UX
* Increase in bipbroker and DataFlowEngine memory footprint on Solaris and HP-UX platforms Symptoms
When upgrading from 8.0.0.1 to 8.0.0.2, bipbroker and DataFlowEngine processes running on Solaris or HP platforms might consume an additional 204 MB of memory. This is caused by an increase in the default size of the ReservedCodeCacheSize parameter in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) used by the broker processes. This area of memory is related to the just-in-time compilation of Java classes and was increased by the JVM supplier in response to an increase in bug reports from third party products failing due to exhaustion of space in the code cache.
Solution
Customers should use the default value for this parameter, but if this causes unnecessary resource contention, the default can be reverted to its former value by exporting the following environment variable in the broker's profile prior to starting the broker:
*
*
AIX * DataFlowEngine abend on AIX when resolving hostname
Symptoms
The DataFlowEngine process running on AIX may terminate on startup or during a deploy with the following call stack in the abend/core file:
calloc []
getaddrinfo []
Java_java_net_Inet6AddressImpl_lookupAllHostAddr
Solution
Apply AIX equivalent APAR fix for IV95824.
Alternatively apply one of the following workarounds:
1) Specify hosts resolution order in /etc/netsvc.conf so that IPv4 is resolved first. For example:
hosts=local4,bind4
2) Export the following environment variable setting:
IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS=-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
TOP Migration
* Brokers running fix pack 8.0.0.2 with new function capability enabled cannot participate in a multiple-broker global cache with brokers running 8.0.0.1. Symptom:
After upgrading to fix pack 8.0.0.2, cache catalog servers fail to start. All cache components report BIP7190 warnings.
Solution:
In 8.0.0.2, by default, each WebSphere eXtreme Scale server participating in the global cache starts with a domain name that is derived by the broker.
Previously in 8.0.0.1 the domain name for all servers in all embedded caches was an empty string. Servers in different domains cannot collaborate in the same grid.
Therefore, for a cache that spans more than one broker, you must enable the new capability for these brokers at the same time.
Enable the new capability by using the -f parameter on the mqsichangebroker command.
Brokers running fix pack 8.0.0.2 without new functionality enabled can still collaborate in the same grid as brokers running 8.0.0.1.
In this scenario, the servers running 8.0.0.2 will continue to use an empty string as the domain name, and will report a BIP7140 warning message to the system log with this information.
TOP WebSphere Message Broker Explorer
* Connecting to a queue manager requires a SHARECNV value that is greater than 0 To connect the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer to a queue manager to receive publications, the SHARECNV property on that queue manager's SVRCONN channel must have a value that is greater than 0. This value is required if you want to use the Broker Statistics or Broker Statistics Graph views in WebSphere Message Broker Explorer.
TOP WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit
* Reset the Broker Application Development perspective after migrating Symptom:
After migrating the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit and its resources to V8.0, items might be displayed in the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit that are removed in V8.0; for example, previous toolkit options in menus.
Solution:
To resolve this problem, complete the following step:
*
* Window > Reset Perspective
*
After the perspective is reset, menus and views are updated for Version 8.0.
* Migrating or importing resources to a WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit V8.0.0.0 or V8.0.0.1 workspace, might result in erroneous errors. Symptom:
After migrating or importing WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit and its resources to V8.0.0.0 or V8.0.0.1, erroneous errors might be displayed in the Toolkit.
Solution:
With your V8.0.0.0 or V8.0.0.1 workspace open in the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit, select Project > Clean... > Clean all projects. The erroneous error messages are removed.
* Importing resources into a new workspace might require project clean Symptom:
When you import resources into a new workspace, error messages might display after autobuild is complete.
Solution:
In the Broker Development view, select your projects and right-click Project > Clean to rebuild the projects. After the projects are cleaned, the error messages relating to the import are removed.
* Specifying a new workspace with mqsicreatebar might require project clean Symptom:
When you run the mqsicreatebar command and specify a new workspace, error messages might display.
Solution:
Use the -cleanBuild option when running the mqsicreatebar command to clean the projects.
* DFDL topics in the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit are displayed in US English only Symptom:
When using the information center that is included in the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit V8.0.0.0 GA, Data Format Description Language (DFDL) topics are displayed in US English only.
These topics have the identifier "dfxxxxx_", where "xxxxx" is a five-digit number.
Solution:
This problem is fixed in WebSphere Message Broker version 8.0.0.1.
Users of WebSphere Message Broker version 8.0.0.0 GA can view these topics, in a language other than US English, using the online product documentation. The online product documentation for WebSphere Message Broker V8.0 contains the latest translated documentation, and is available at:
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSKM8N_8.0.0/mapfiles/help_home_msgbroker.html [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSKM8N_8.0.0/mapfiles/help_home_msgbroker.html]
* Java, PHP, and Message Set projects having the same name can only belong to one Application or Library Symptom:
If a customer has more than one application or library in their workspace which requires a Java, PHP, or Message Set projects having the same name, an error message similar to the following will appear:
The project < Project Name > can not be a member of multiple applications or libraries....
Solution:
Where an identical project is required in more than one application or library, a copy of the project should be made, and given a different name.
* Documentation contains incorrect instructions for installing the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit as a non-admin user Symptom:
Non-admin user is not able to install Toolkit while following current installation documentation.
Solution:
This problem is fixed in WebSphere Message Broker version 8.0.0.1.
Users of WebSphere Message Broker 8.0.0.0, who are installing Toolkit as a non-admin user, can refer to the online product documentation at [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmbhelp/v8r0m0/index.jsp]http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSKM8N_8.0.0/mapfiles/help_home_msgbroker.html [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSKM8N_8.0.0/mapfiles/help_home_msgbroker.html], or
* Step 5 of the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit V8.0.0.0 installation documentation should be updated as follows: *
*
* On Windows run the following command: <disk1 image>\installToolkit.bat -nonAdmin On Linux run the following script: <disk1 image>/installToolkit.sh -nonAdmin
* Step 14 should be added to the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit V8.0.0.0 installation documentation and read as follows: *
*
* On Windows run command: <WMBT80_Home>\wmbt\postconfig\postInstall_admin.bat On Linux run script: <WMBT80_Home>/wmbt/postconfig/postInstall_admin.sh
*
* When using an application project and a subflow with a .msgflow extension it is possible to create a BAR file with a duplicate message flow if the sub-flows have been used incorrectly in the previous release. Symptom:
This is caused when an External InputNode is added to the sub-flow; the resultant BAR file will contain two compiled message flows. One of the message flows will be the intended flow with the sub-flow embedded, the other message flow will be the extraneous sub-flow containing the ExternalInputNode without an appropriate ExternalOutput Node.
When the BAR file is deployed both of the message flows will run. The sub-flow will incorrectly start a new thread and attempt to read data from the InputNode.
Solution:
Either :

* Launching the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit from Installation Manager makes the toolkit use WebSphere MQ 7.0.1 Symptom:
When an installation has completed, the user is provided the option to start the WebSphere Message Broker V8.0 Toolkit. When the toolkit opens, any broker which is running with a queue manager on WebSphere MQ version 7.1 or 7.5 will be reported as stopped, irrespective of whether the broker is running or not. A dialogue might be displayed warning the brokers can not be connected to.
If a user tries to start one of the brokers which is stopped, an error message is displayed containing the following text:
The queue manager '<QueueManager>' is not running (MQ reason code 2059 while trying to connect)
Check that:
*
*
*
If a user tries to start one of the brokers which is already started, a dialogue is displayed indicating that the broker can not be started as it is already running. Solution:
Shut down the toolkit and re-open it using the toolkit installation and not by using Installation Manager.
* A version of XULRunner which is not compatible with Eclipse 3.6 (upon which WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit is based) may cause the Linux toolkit to crash shortly after being launched. Symptom:
Within a minute or so of launching the Linux toolkit, it crashes with the following error:
JVM terminated - Exit code=160
Solution:
Install a version of XULRunner which is compatible with Eclipse 3.6.
Compatible versions of XULRunner are versions 1.8-3.6 and associated fix packs.
Testing at IBM has been done using the following version, and this has been confirmed to resolve the issue:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/1.9.2.19/runtimes/xulrunner-1.9.2.19.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2 [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/1.9.2.19/runtimes/xulrunner-1.9.2.19.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2]
Expand the downloaded compressed file into a convenient directory ( e.g. /usr/lib/xulrunner_new)
Add the following line to the eclipse.ini file under the mb install directory:
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=<location of unzipped download> ( e.g. -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/lib/xulrunner_new)
TOP Web Services
* No known issues.
TOP Web UI
* Upload of WSDL on zOS in the Web UI is not supported On WebSphere Message Broker version 8.0.0.1 on zOS, you can not currently upload WSDL files using the Web UI for use in the Web Based Static Endpoint pattern.
TOP Nodes * After applying fixpack containing APAR IT01950 error BIP2503 is received.
*
* Symptoms:
* WebSphere Message Broker has been modified so that if ESQL containing a FOR statement which iterates over a SHARED ROW variable contains a PROPAGATE statement within the FOR block then any attempt to write to that shared variable will result in an exception BIP2503 "Propagate with a SHARED variable lock held by FOR statement" being thrown.
The reason for this is that while iterating over a SHARED ROW variable a lock is held on the variable, this lock is also obtained when writing to the variable in downstream nodes and the exact timing of these operations could result in a deadlock occurring. It is not valid to modify the SHARED ROW variable being iterated over in downstream nodes as it may invalidate the loop therefore behavior has been changed to throw an exception instead of deadlocking.
Solution:
* This means that there may be some flows which were at risk of deadlocking which now throw an exception. The recommended action is to modify the flows so that they do not use the affected invalid pattern however if this is not possible the previous behavior can be restored by setting the environment variable MQSI_ALLOW_PROPAGATE_WITH_SHARED_LOCK_HELD=1 and restarting the Broker.
TOP WebSphere Adapter nodes
* Saving Enterprise Metadata Discovery (EMD) adapter connection information during iterative discovery Symptoms:
During WebSphere Adapter for SAP Software Enterprise Metadata Discovery (EMD) iterative discovery, the Adapter Connection wizard Service Generation and Deployment Configuration panel is displayed and can be edited; however, any adapter system connection information that you enter is not saved in the adapter component.
Solution:
Use the WebSphere Adapters editor to change the adapter system connection information to ensure that subsequent EMD iterative discoveries preserve the adapter system connection information:
*
*
*
* Open With
*
* WebSphere Adapters editor
*
*
*
*
*
* Assured delivery option for JDEdwards is not supported Symptoms:
The JDE inbound adapter fails to deploy if the assured delivery check box is selected in the adapter wizard. The following error is issued:
An attempt to set the property 'AssuredOnceDelivery' on adapter component 'AssuredDeliveryMSApp.IBM WebSphere Adapter for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne' failed because the property is not supported.
Solution:
This functionality is not currently supported, and should not be used in message flow development.
TOP Graphical Data Mapper
* Using a graphical data map to map input data that is retrieved from a database uses the default database schema name specified for the configured JDBC connection identity Symptoms:
Using a graphical data map to map input data that is retrieved from a database is dependent on the default schema name configuration of your database server. The broker does not currently provide a facility to override the database schema name to be used in the SQL statements issued against the database. Currently, the SQL statement issued by the map includes only the database and table name but not a schema name. As a result, your database server uses the default database schema name for the identity that the broker used to connect to it while running the map. The connection identity that the broker uses is configured in a broker JDBCProvider configurable service. The JDBCProvider configurable service used is selected by the data source name in the map.
If the required database table is not available in this schema, the map execution fails with a broker error containing specific error codes for your database server. For example:
BIP3947E: The map processing for QName '{maps}:RDB_Mapping' has failed, with the following details:
'{Your specific database schema table access error message and codes}'
Solution:
This restriction is addressed in WebSphere Message Broker version 8.0.0.1, and later, through provision of the capability to optionally override the name of the database schema. For more information, see JDBCProviders configurable service [http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSKM8N_8.0.0/com.ibm.etools.mft.doc/an60170_.htm] property "databaseSchemaNames".
Users of WebSphere Message Broker version 8.0 GA should ensure that the table being selected from the graphical data map is available in the schema that is set by your database server for the database connection identity that is configured in the JDBCProvider configurable service. This is particularly restrictive on z/OS.
* Errors occur during runtime execution of newly created graphical data maps, that were converted from message map (.msgmap) files, or utilise certain extended capabilities such as submaps with multiple inputs, or xs:<type> cast transforms Symptoms:
The execution of a graphical data map created using WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit version 8.0.0.2 that is deployed to a WebSphere Message Broker Runtime version 8.0 or 8.0.0.1 fails.
Example error messages:
BIP2230E: Error detected whilst processing a message in node '<node label>' ComIbmMSLMappingNode: <flow name>
BIP3946E: The map script generation for QName '<map routine name>' has failed, with the following details: java.lang.RuntimeException: IXJXE0609E: [ERR 0548][ERR XPST0017] The function '<function name>' with parity '<n>' is not in the in-scope function declarations.
Solution:
Update the WebSphere Message Broker runtime to version 8.0.0.2.
* Errors are seen during runtime when using a complex Data Analysis generated GDM map. Symptoms:
A JVM Out of Memory exception is seen at runtime when using a Data Analysis generated GDM Map
When using complex XML structures more memory is required that the default JVM Heap size
Solution:
Use the mqsichangeproperties [http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSKM8N_8.0.0/com.ibm.etools.mft.doc/an09143_.htm] command to increase the maximum heap size to greater than 256Mb. For example : mqsichangeproperties MB8BROKER -e default -o ComIbmJVMManager -n jvmMaxHeapSize -v 786432000
TOP Commands
* Calling mqsiprofile in a zsh shell exits the session (A63403) Symptoms:
On UNIX systems that use Z shell (zsh) as the shell environment, a call to 'source {install path}/mqsiprofile' causes the shell to exit. Due to the default behavior of zsh, the mqsiprofile command checks an incorrect argument number to determine whether it is being sourced, or run directly. The mqsiprofile script then prints a warning message and calls exit, but zsh interprets this call as an instruction to exit the current shell.
Solution:
To work around this problem, complete the following step:
* In the UNIX terminal, call 'unsetopt function_argzero', then call the mqsiprofile command again.
* Documentation for mqsiapplybaroverride states support for -k and -y parameters Symptom:
Information center topic an19545_ mqsiapplybaroverride describes parameters -k and -y for use with applications and libraries. Using these parameters with the command results in the following error:
BIP1033E Invalid parameters
Solution:
These options are not supported with this command, and should not be used.
* Error "AMQ7027: Argument [QM Name] supplied to command [path]\crtmqm.exe is invalid." is seen when running mqsicreatebroker to create a Domain aware HA Broker on the Windows platform Symptom:
An AMQ7027 error message might be returned from mqsicreatebroker when creating an HA Broker on the Windows platform when using the new -B or -Q flags if the Queue Manager does not already exist.
Solution:
If a Queue Manager does not exist when creating an HA Broker on Windows using the new -B or -Q flags an attempt is made to create a Queue Manager. The mqsicreatebroker command run tries to pass the '-ar' flag to the create Queue Manager (crtmqm) command.
However, this option is only available for V7.1.0.3 and V7.5.0.1 of MQ. MQ APAR IC85940 provided this function in the Fix Packs.
There are two possible workarounds in this situation:

TOP Databases
* Dates inserted into a Microsoft SQLServer database using JDBC are 2 days out
*
Symptoms :
After upgrading to WebSphere Message Broker 8.0.0.7 or above, or applying APAR IT03599 to an earlier Fix Pack installation, dates inserted into an SQLServer database using a JDBC connection either through a JavaCompute node or a mapping node are 2 days out.
WebSphere Message Broker 8.0.0.7 and APAR IT03599 upgrade the level of Java used by the Broker to Java 1.7. Some versions of the Microsoft SQL JDBC driver do not support Java 1.7 and produce unexpected behaviour when used.
Solution:
Upgrade the version of the Microsoft SQL JDBC driver to a version which supports Java 1.7
* User databases on z/OS Customers using user databases on z/OS require DB2 APAR PK99362.
* Sybase globally coordinated ('XA') transactions Globally coordinated ('XA') transactions are not supported.
* JDBC/XA globally coordinated ('XA') transactions JDBC/XA globally coordinated ('XA') transactions are supported on DB2 and Oracle (except Oracle RAC) on all broker platforms except HP-UX on Itanium and z/OS.
ODBC XA and JDBC/XA can not be mixed on the same broker.
* Informix globally coordinated ('XA') transactions Informix globally coordinated ('XA') transactions are not supported.
* DB2 and Microsoft SQL Server support on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 64-bit Only DB2 and Microsoft SQL Server are supported on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 64-bit. Use the DB2 and Microsoft SQL Server system requirements pages to determine the correct versions of each product to use with your system.
The DB2 system requirements web page is available at:
http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2/linux-unix-windows/sysreqs.html [http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2/linux-unix-windows/sysreqs.html]
* XA configuration using WebSphere MQ installation specific subdirectories of exits and exits64 directories is not supported When configuring a broker to use XA with a WebSphere MQ 7.1 or WebSphere MQ 7.5 queue manager as the transaction manager, users must include the appropriate switch file in the
<MQ_DATA_PATH>/exits and/or <MQ_DATA_PATH>/exits64 directories. Users must not use the installation specific subdirectory of the exits and exits64 for the switch files.
* The WebSphere Message Broker Information Center instructions for "Connecting to a database from Linux and UNIX systems using the WebSphere Message Broker ODBC Database Extender" are incorrect Symptoms:
The Message Broker fails to connect correctly to a Database when attempting to use an ODBC Data Source on Linux and UNIX systems.
Example error message
BIP2393E: Database error: ODBC return code '-1' from data source ''ROUTING'' using ODBC driver manager ''/opt/ibm/IE02/2.0.0/lib/libodbcinterface.so''.
BIP2322E: Database error: SQL State ''IM002''; Native Error Code '0'; Error Text ''[unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found, and no default driver specified''.
BIP8040E: Unable to connect to the database.
Solution:
The following corrections to the identified sample help pages are needed to ensure the ODBC connection can be setup and run successfully.
The following page:
WebSphere Message Broker Version 8.0.0.1>Configuring brokers for test and production>Advanced configuration>Configuring for applications>Configuring databases>Enabling ODBC connections to the databases [http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSKM8N_8.0.0/com.ibm.etools.mft.doc/bk58060_.htm]
"Connecting to a database from Linux and UNIX systems using the WebSphere Message Broker ODBC Database Extender" is incorrect.
Step 8 starts with "If you are using a DB2 ... on AIX" indicating that if you are not using AIX, you can skip this step. You must complete step 8 for all Linux and UNIX platforms.
TOP Samples
* The WebSphere Message Broker Information Center instructions for the DatabaseInput Node sample are incorrect. Symptoms:
When attempting to set up and run the WebSphere Message Broker Application sample the DatabaseInput Node does not run successfully, with either an error being displayed when loading or updating the database, or no message being retrieved from the broker flow when the database has been updated.
Solution:
The following corrections should be read in conjunction with the samples help pages.

TRAIN_Q252 | IBM An unexpected ruleset version is executed - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
Why is Rule Execution Server (RES) not executing the expected version of a ruleset ?
What are the possible causes after a hot deployment for Rule Execution Server not to use the updated ruleset ?
CAUSE
Possible causes for unexpected versions to be executed are:
- the RES client requesting execution may be passing a wrong ruleset path
- a hot deploy notification was not sent by the RES console, or not received by all the Execution Units (XU)
- the ruleset parsing policy may be delaying the use of a ruleset version until its parsing is complete
- the updated ruleset cannot be parsed successfully and RES falls back on an earlier active version that parses
ANSWER
First validate that the RES components (the Execution Unit, the Management Console and the Client Application bundling the RES client library, which may be HTDS, MTDS, the SSP or a custom application) have been installed properly as per the documentation, see Configuring Rule Execution Server [http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/dmanager/v8r0/topic/com.ibm.wodm.dserver.rules.config/config_ds_res/tpc_res_config.html].
The ruleset version that is executed depends first on the ruleset path that is requested. Specifying a ruleset path with no version ( such as /MyRuleApp/MyRuleset/ ) is interpreted as a request to execute the highest version of the ruleset, as opposed to a version specific ruleset path ( such as /MyRuleApp/2.0/MyRuleset/1.0 ). Validate that the executed ruleset path is indeed unexpected considering the requested ruleset path.
A common situation for an unexpected ruleset version to be executed is that of a hot deployment that is not successfully completed. The more frequent causes for the hot deployment not to happen as expected are:
* Permission issue: the user publishing the ruleset update must have sufficient administrative rights ( Monitor role in WebSphere Application Server ) in order for the deployment to notify all the Execution Units of the ruleset update through JMX. For example on WebSphere Application Server see Mapping the resAdministrators group to the Monitor role [http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/dmanager/v8r0/topic/com.ibm.wodm.dserver.rules.config/config_ds_res_was8/tsk_was_map_admin_group.html]
* Version mismatch between the Execution Unit(s) and the Management Console: in order for the Management Console to detect the presence of execution units the versions of these components must match down to the fix level. For example 7.1.1.4 Management Console would not interact properly with a 7.1.1.3 Execution Unit. The version of the RES console is displayed in the "About" link (top right corner). The version of the Execution Unit can be seen in the resource adapter ra.xml file where a resourceadapter-version tag shows the version. For example with the WebSphere Application Server this can seen through: Resources > Resource adapters > XU > Deployment Descriptor
* Asynchronous ruleset parsing is used : in this mode, while an updated ruleset is being parsed, an earlier version of the ruleset can be used for executions that are requested at that time. Note that there is no guarantee of which specific earlier version of the ruleset may be used since it is a factor of which versions are available in the deprecated ruleset cache and whether garbage collection has occurred. In order to remove any uncertainty on the version that can be executed, it is possible to either turn off the asynchronous mode [http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/dmanager/v8r0/topic/com.ibm.wodm.dserver.rules.res.managing/topics/tsk_res_config_asynchron_turnoff.html], or force synchronous parsing in asynchronous mode [http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/dmanager/v8r0/topic/com.ibm.wodm.dserver.rules.res.managing/topics/tsk_res_config_forcing_sync_pars.html].
* Notification scope is limited to one cell : by design the RES notification mechanism only works within one WebSphere Application Server Cell ( or one JBoss domain, or one Weblogic domain ), so a Management Console may only notify Execution Units that are running on servers in the same cell as the RES Console. See XU notification in a cluster over multiple cells [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21458245]. If you need to implement notifications to several cells at once, the document Ruleset updates and programmatic notification of RES eXecution Unit [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21418646] can be useful.
* Parsing failure of an updated ruleset : leading the XU to fall back on an earlier active version that parses successfully
* Ruleset update was only written to persistence: writing directly to RES persistence with the ant tasks res-write-db or res-write-file [http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/dmanager/v8r0/topic/com.ibm.wodm.dserver.rules.res.managing/topics/tsk_res_deploy_rlapp_ant.html] does not trigger a notification, so the update may only been seen after server restart.
* XU MBean is not activated in Java SE mode : See Activating the XU MBean in Java SE [http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/dmanager/v8r0/topic/com.ibm.wodm.dserver.rules.res.managing/topics/tsk_res_config_xu_mbean_jse.html]
* Multiple Java SE Execution Units are deployed in the same JVM: See Rule Execution Server J2SE mode hot deployment does not seem to work [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21585251]
Cross reference information Segment Product Component Platform Version Edition Business Integration WebSphere ILOG JRules Modules:Execution Server (BRES / RES) Platform Independent 7.1.1, 7.1, 7.0.3, 7.0.2, 7.0.1, 7.0 | Latest deployed ruleset not executing in clustered environment
We are using ODM 8.7.0.1 and are running into an issue in our clustered environment. After deploying an updated to the ruleapp, using "Replace RuleApp Version" versioning policy, the that the decision service is still executing the previous version of the business rules. I can see the updated rules when I review the ruleset archive. It appears the parsed ruleset cache is not being updated. However, I turned off the asynchronous mode as recommended here but this has not resolved the issue. The lasted ruleset is being picked up if a restart the server or update a ruleset property.
Another interesting aspect is that when I invoke the decision service using a url the calls the application server directly from SOAPUI, the correct rule is executing. But if then go into the client application after this, the ruleapp executed from the service layer the is going through the http service is still returning the older version of the rules.
| Possible causes for unexpected versions to be executed are:
- the RES client requesting execution may be passing a wrong ruleset path
- a hot deploy notification was not sent by the RES console, or not received by all the Execution Units (XU)
- the ruleset parsing policy may be delaying the use of a ruleset version until its parsing is complete
- the updated ruleset cannot be parsed successfully and RES falls back on an earlier active version that parses |
TRAIN_Q254 | IBM Deletion of virtual portal fails with transaction timeout - United States virtual portal; timeout; delete; portlet; EJPAH4000E; EJPEB0804E; rollbackexception; admin; WTRN0006W TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM
Attempt to delete virtual portal via Virtual Portal Manager portlet fails with error:
EJPAH4000E: Failed to delete virtual portal
Attempts to delete the virtual portal using the ConfigEngine task "delete-virtual-portal" may fail as well.
CAUSE
With the introduction of Managed Pages in WebSphere Portal 8.0, virtual portal deletions require more transaction time when removing from the system. This increased transaction time can lead to an error situation if either of the following timeouts is exceeded:
* the total and/or maximum transaction lifetime timeout value(s) for the server
* the WCM component's transaction timeout
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
SystemOut.log may show the following:

RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
1. Increase the total transaction lifetime timeout and maximum transaction timeout values (for example, to 600 seconds or greater) using the instructions in the Related information section below.
2. If the problem persists after addressing the change in suggestion #1 and the error in SystemOut.log shows that the timeout still occurs after 120 seconds (as opposed to the increased value that you just set), then update to Cumulative Fix (CF) 9 or later to get the fix for APAR PI04872 and then add (or update if already exists) the following custom property to the WCM_WCMConfigService Resource Environment Provider:
Name: wcm.transaction.timeout
Value: 600 (for example)
Note: There is not a target value for a transaction timeouts that applies to every customer environment. The goal should be to find a value that allows the virtual portal deletion to succeed but does not introduce significant delay in being alerted for other transaction timeouts.

How can uninstall Data Studio 3.1.1 where Control Panel uninstall process gets an error?
CAUSE
It is an known behavior/limitation.
ANSWER
It may be happened where two versions Data Studio 3.1.1 and 4.1.2 installed machine.
Here is an workaround. Please try to uninstall all products including Install Manager
(IM) then reinstall IM and Data Studio 4.1.2. Below are detailed steps:
1. Use IM to uninstall as many packages as possible.
2. Identify the packages that are still installed, and manually clean
them up.
Example on Windows:
- C:\Program Files\IBM\{IBMIMShared | SDPShared}
3. Delete IBM Installation Manager.
Example on Windows:
- Delete the IM install directory:
C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation Manager\
- Delete the AppData directory (IM Agent Data):
Windows 7: C:\ProgramData\IBM\Installation Manager
- Delete the Windows registry (regedit) entry :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\Installation Manager
- re-install IM
4. Reinstall DS 4.1.2 and other products.

2.0 Problems fixed
==================
The following problems are addressed by this fix.
2.1 APARS:
----------
APAR : IV24938
Abstract : WRONG PCT_FREE CALCULATION IN RDB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST
Additional Information: The Oracle Database Extended agent displays a wrong
value for Free Space(%) in the following workspace. The value
that is displayed is less then the real value.
Archive Node -> Flash Recovery workspace ->
Flash Recovery Space Usage view
APAR : IV26915
Abstract : ORA-12504: TNS:LISTENER WAS NOT GIVEN
Additional Information: The Oracle Database Extended agent logs are
written at a rapid pace and growing large very quickly.
The following error message repeats:
"ORA-12504: TNS:listener was not given".
APAR : IV30446
Abstract : ALERT LOG MESSAGE TEXT IS GARBLED
Additional Information: The Japanese part of the Oracle alert
log message is garbled in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal.
This garbled information might also occur in other multi-byte
character set (MBCS) locales, such as East Asian locales
such as Simplified Chinese or Korean.
APAR : IV31219
Abstract : RDB_SESSION_DETAILS WAREHOUSING ERROR 64
Additional Information: The historical data from the
attribute group RDB_Session_Details table cannot be
exported into the warehouse, because the value after UTF-8
conversion has a length greater than the column ACTION defined
width (32). Therefore, the row is not exported into
warehouse and the local historical data file size
increases continuously. This issue might also occur in other
East Asian locales such as Simplified Chinese or Korean.
APAR : IV36395
Abstract : KRZCLIENT FILE HANDLE LEAK ON WINDOWS
Additional Information: "Handle Count" on Windows operating systems
where the Oracle Extended Database agent is running is constantly
growing. When the agent is restarted, the krzclient.exe process
is using hundreds of file handles. The hundreds of file handles
increases to thousands of file handles in a few hours.
APAR : IV38555
Abstract : KRZCLIENT CRASHES AT TOPSQL
Additional Information: The Oracle Extended Database agent krzclient
process crashes and generates a core file when the process queries
RDB Top SQL attribute groups.
2.2 Defects
-----------
2.3 Enhancements:
-----------------
Enhancement: INTERNAL
Abstract: User interface configuration improvements.
- Simplifies the database connection configuration
with three connection types:
- Basic: Oracle database server host name (or IP address),
Listener port, and Oracle database service
name (or Oracle SID) must be specified.
- TNS: only the TNS Alias must be specified or selected
from the drop-down list that is discovered
from the ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora file.
- Advanced: only the Oracle connection string must be
specified to be compatible with an old
version of agent configuration.
- Supports the following connection string format:
"//hostname:port/ORACLE_SID".
- At least one database connection must be added during
the GUI configuration.
Enhancement: INTERNAL
Abstract: New environment variables that you can use to
customize the agent, such as KRZ_LISTENER_INCLUDE,
KRZ_LISTENER_EXCLUDE, KRZ_TNS_INCLUDE, KRZ_TNS_EXCLUDE,
KRZ_REDIRECT_TNS, KRZ_EVENT_LEVEL, and KRZ_SQL_PREFILTER.
- Provides the option to control whether the agent monitors
the specific Listener name and Oracle net service end points.
Both including and excluding filters are provided
(KRZ_LISTENER_INCLUDE,KRZ_LISTENER_EXCLUDE,
KRZ_TNS_INCLUDE, KRZ_TNS_EXCLUDE).
- Provides the option (KRZ_REDIRECT_TNS) to control whether
to redirect the value of the predefined TNS_ADMIN environment
variable to the agent log directory to disable the Oracle
sqlnet.log.
- Provides the option (KRZ_EVENT_LEVEL) to control which
level of agent event is sent. The level with a scope from high
to low is MISC, INFO, WARN, or ERROR.
- Provides the option (KRZ_SQL_PREFILTER) to control whether the
agent combines the filter information in the SQL query that is
sent to the Oracle database for the data processing.
Enhancement: INTERNAL
Abstract: Performance improvement for Top SQL monitoring.
Enhancement: INTERNAL
Abstract: Disk Space usage monitoring for Archive Destination
when Archive destination is defined in the Oracle database as
USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST instead of a real physical directory.
Enhancement:
Abstract: More SQL statement samples in the krzcussql.properties
customized SQL template file for Oracle Jobs, Oracle Users,
and Oracle Queues monitoring.
A total of six sample SQL statements are in the default
customized SQL template file. To ensure the sample customized
SQL can be run successfully, the SELECT authority from
corresponding Oracle performance views must be granted to the
Oracle user of the agent in advance.

2.5 APARS and defects included from superseded fixes
----------------------------------------------------
6.3.1-TIV-ITM_EXT-FP0001
----------------------------------------------------
APAR : IV22637
Abstract : AGENT CORE DUMP IF TNSPING IS NOT ACCESSABLE
Additional Information: A core dump occurs for the Oracle Database
Extended agent if the agent is configured with KRZ_ORACLE_HOME but,
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/tnsping file did not grant read+execute permission
to the agent OS user.
APAR : IV14403
Abstract : TABLESPACE PERCENT_FREE_TO_MAX CALCULATE WRONG
Additional Information: The Oracle Database Extended agent might calculate
the value of the Percent_Free_To_Max attribute incorrectly, because this value
should be greater than the value of the Percent_Free_To_Allocated attribute
in case the Oracle tablespace is set with Autoextend ON and
the maximum file size of the data file is greater than the allocated size
for the current datafile.
6.3.1-TIV-ITM_KRZ-IF0002
----------------------------------------------------
APAR: IV08618
Abstract : AGENT OCCUPY ORACLE SESSION MORE AND MORE
Additional Information: The Oracle Database Extended agent occupies the
Oracle sessions increasingly if the Oracle Database Extended agent user
does not have all authorities in the krzgrant.sql file.
This increase is caused by the agent not disconnecting from the Oracle
database, with an error message of "ORA-00942 Table or View does not
exist," and the agent trying to reconnect to the Oracle database with a new
session in each interval.
Defect: 167731
Abstract: agent configure still load based version xml file.
Additional Information: A new rz_dd_063100002.xml file is
installed in the itmhome\config directory by this patch,
where the base version of the rz_dd_063100000.xml file is installed.
The agent loads the configuration definition from the newly installed
rz_dd_063100002.xml file instead of the base version file.
Defect: 168694
Abstract: cannot ignore Oracle Listener/Net Service definition.
Additional Information: A new KRZ_LOAD_ORACLE_NET environment variable
is added so you can decide whether the Listener and Net Service End Points
from the files below are required for monitoring.
On UNIX and Linux systems:
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
$TNS_ADMIN/network/admin/listener.ora
$TNS_ADMIN/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
On Windows systems:
%ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\listener.ora
%ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
%TNS_ADMIN%\network\admin\listener.ora
%TNS_ADMIN%\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
If this new variable is set to 'false', the agent
does not load Listener or Net Service definitions from the files above,
even if the agent is configured with ORACLE HOME directory.
The agent still loads Listener or Net Service definition if the agent
is configured with a TNS PATH directory, which contains the
listener.ora or tnsnames.ora files.
Defect: 168966
Abstract: ASM disk/diskgroup display redundancy data.
Additional Information: In an Oracle RAC environment, if there is more
than one active ASM database instance, the agent queries back multiple
rows for each disk or disk group in all active instances.
If there is a situation in monitoring the attributes such as
KRZ_RDB_ASM_DISKGROUP.Free_Percent, there are
duplicated alerts by this type of situation.
The agent queries back only one record for each disk or disk group, and
avoids the duplicated alert for the situation.
The following attribute groups are impacted by this fix:
KRZ_RDB_ASM_DISKGROUP
KRZ_RDB_ASM_DISK
KRZ_ASM_DISK
KRZ_ASM_DISKGROUP
Defect: 168967
Abstract: FreeToMax return negative value.
Additional Information: The agent gets a negative value or over 100% on the
following attributes because the Maximum file size of an Oracle
data file is less than the real data file size:
KRZ_RDB_TABLESPACENORMAL_USAGE.Percentage_Free_To_Maximum
KRZ_RDB_TABLESPACENORMAL_USAGE.Percentage_Allocated
KRZ_RDB_TABLESPACETEMP_USAGE.Percentage_Allocated
Defect: 172392
Abstract: CANNOT MERGE CUSTOM SQL FOR BASETABLE
Additional Information: Use the KRZ_CUSTOM_SQLXML environment variable
to specify a customized
krzsql_custom.xml file where the new SQLInfo is defined and the agent
uses SQLInfo from the customized sql xml file instead of the
default krzsql.xml file. There is a new BaseTable tag in
the SQLInfo from version 6.3.1 and the new definition of
BaseTable cannot overwrite the default definition in the krzsql.xml file.
<SQLInfo ID=
...
</SQLText>
<BaseTable QueryName="SampleTable1" GrantName="SampleTable1"/>
</SQL>
If you do not grant all tables and views to the Oracle Database Extended agent
user in the krzgrant.sql file, error messages are displayed about ORA-00942
because the agent checks the Oracle authority on the QueryName element
while the agent runs continuously.
The error message about ORA-00942 can be avoided by using a customized
sql xml file and copying the SQLInfo definition from the default krzsql.xml
file and replacing the QueryName and GrantName with 'dual'.
<SQLInfo ID=
...
</SQLText>
<BaseTable QueryName="dual" GrantName="dual"/>
</SQL>
Defect: 172695
Abstract: KRZCLIENT LOG FILE LOOP AND OVERWRITE FIRST ONE
Additional Information: The RAS1 log file for the
krzstart or krzclient processes loops between 01, 02, and 03. The
first RAS1 log file is overwritten after the 3rd one
is full. This action disenables you to see information, such as
start time during agent startup.
After the application of the fix, in the following file examples
the RAS1 log message loops between the
"tivp56_rz_orcl_krzclient_4eef1fe8-02.log" file and the
"tivp56_rz_orcl_krzclient_4eef1fe8-03.log" file. The
"tivp56_rz_orcl_krzclient_4eef1fe8-01.log" file
is not overwritten.
#cd /opt/IBM/ITM/logs && ls *krzclient*.log

2.6 Enhancements included from superseded fixes
----------------------------------------------------
6.3.1-TIV-ITM_EXT-FP0001
----------------------------------------------------
Self-describing agent (SDA) application support installation is supported.
To take advantage of self-describing agent capability, your
Tivoli Management Services server components must be
Version 6.2.3 Fixpack 1 or later.
6.3.1-TIV-ITM_KRZ-IF0002
----------------------------------------------------
Enhancement: RFE
Headline: Improve Oracle Database Extended Agent not to contact ORCL instance
(SYS4472)
ID: 12585
Description:
Stop the behavior where the Oracle Extended Database agent tries to connect
against the Oracle default instance "ORCL" every time when checking
LISTENERs/TNS.
The Oracle Extended Database agent is hard-coded to try to connect against
an Oracle Instance "ORCL" that does not exist on most systems.
By default, the agent tries to connect every 5 minutes.
Therefore, the Oracle database creates "connect error 12514" Log Entries
each time, which fills up the log files.
Additional Information: The Oracle Extended Database agent uses the tnsping Oracle
utility tool in the ORACLE_HOME/bin path to verify the
Listener status if the agent is configured with KRZ_ORACLE_HOME. Or, the user
can use the new KRZ_DEFAULT_ORACLE_SERVICE_NAME environment variable to define
a valid service name for the Listener monitoring instead of the hard coded 'ORCL'.
Enhancement: RFE
Headline: RDB Disk Space: Oracle Archive directory is not monitored
correctly
ID: 13528
Description:
On SAP systems, the Oracle archive destination is defined as
log_archive_dest=<directory>/<file prefix>, which is not a
valid or existing directory. "Not Available" is displayed for % Free
attribute within RDB Disk Space attribute group.
Enhancement: RFE
Headline: Oracle RAC One Node Monitoring
ID: 13734
Description:
Oracle RAC One Node is a single instance database that is always online,
and it is a new option since Oracle 11.2.0.1. The Oracle
Extended Database agent is not able to monitor the RAC One Node correctly.
The agent displays Instance Status as "INACTIVE", and Instance Name as "*"
within the RDB Active Instance attribute group in a RAC One Node
cluster environment.
6.3.1-TIV-ITM_KRZ-IF0001
----------------------------------------------------
Enhancement: MR0329054818
Abstract: Add Host name, Instance name, and Database name to all Oracle
attribute groups for the ITCAM Extended Agent for Oracle Database version
6.3.
Additional Information: With this enhancement, the situation provides more
detailed information. The Oracle Database Extended agent also provides
this information in a combined string.
The IT administrator can set up the situation easily.

5.1 Before installing the fix
-----------------------------
- The prerequisites listed under section 3.1 entitled 'Upgrade prerequisites
for this fix' must be installed when upgrading.
- For the purpose of this README, the <CANDLEHOME> symbol is the
IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory. The default value
for CANDLEHOME is '/opt/IBM/ITM' on UNIX systems and 'C:\ibm\itm'
on Windows systems.
- If you have customized the Extended Monitoring Agent for Oracle
rz.ini file on a UNIX system, back up this file before installing the fix.
After this fix is installed, edit the latest rz.ini file and merge
your modifications into this rz.ini file.
5.2 Local agent install and update (including silent installation)
--------------------------------------------------------------
1. Transfer the appropriate archive file to a
temporary directory on the system that contains the agent code to be
updated. For the purpose of this README, the <TEMP> symbol represents
the fully qualified path to this directory.
Note: On Windows systems, this path includes the drive letter.
2. Expand the archive file by using the tar command on UNIX systems or
an unzip utility on Windows systems. This expansion creates a directory
structure that contains fixes for all supported platforms.
3. Use the procedures in the "IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.2.2
Installation and Setup Guide" to install the agent.
4. Use the procedures in the specific database monitoring agent user's
guide to complete the installation and configuration.
5.3 Remote agent update and installation
----------------------------------------
1. Make sure that all potential targets of the remote deployment are
running version 6.2.2 Fix Pack 2 or later of the OS monitoring
agent.
2. Transfer the appropriate archive file to
a temporary directory on the Tivoli Enterprise
Monitoring Server system. For the purpose of this README, the
<TEMP> symbol represents the fully qualified path to this directory.
Note: On Windows systems, this path includes the drive letter.
3. Expand the archive file by using the tar command on UNIX systems or an
unzip utility on Windows systems. This expansion creates a directory structure
that contains fixes for all supported operating systems.
4. To add the fix pack bundles to the remote deployment depot, use the
tacmd addBundles command found in $CANDLEHOME/bin on UNIX systems
or in %CANDLE_HOME%\bin on Windows systems. For more information
about the tacmd addBundles command, see the "IBM Tivoli
Monitoring Command Reference."
On a UNIX system: if the fix was expanded to
<TEMP>/<PARTNUMBER>:
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd addBundles -i <TEMP>/<PARTNUMBER>/WINDOWS/Deploy -t rz -f
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd addBundles -i <TEMP>/<PARTNUMBER>/WIA64/Deploy -t rz -f
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd addBundles -i <TEMP>/<PARTNUMBER>/unix -t rz -f
where:
-i is the directory that contains the deployment bundles to be
added to the depot.
-t is the product code of the product to add, in this case rz
represents the Extended Monitoring Agent for Oracle Database
-f performs the actions without asking for confirmation
On a Windows system: if the fix was expanded to
<TEMP>/<PARTNUMBER>:
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd addBundles -i <TEMP>\<PARTNUMBER>\WINDOWS\Deploy -t rz -f
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd addBundles -i <TEMP>\<PARTNUMBER>\WIA64\Deploy -t rz -f
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd addBundles -i <TEMP>\<PARTNUMBER>\unix -t rz -f
where:
-i is the directory that contains the deployment bundles to be
added to the depot.
-t is the product code of the product to add, in this case rz
represents the Extended Monitoring Agent for Oracle Database
-f performs the actions without asking for confirmation
5. To login to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring server and deploy
the fix to the appropriate nodes where the agent is running, use
the following tacmd commands. For more information about the
tacmd login and updateAgent commands, see the "IBM Tivoli
Monitoring Command Reference."
On a UNIX system:
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd login -s <server>
-u <itmuser>
-p <password>
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd listSystems
The output shows the managed system name for the OS agent on the
remote system to be updated. Use this value as the target of the
tacmd updateAgent command.
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd updateAgent -t rz
-n <Managed system name>
-v 063102000
On a Windows system:
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd login -s <server>
-u <itmuser>
-p <password>
> %CANDLE_HOME%/bin/tacmd listSystems
The output shows the managed system name for the OS agent on the
remote system to be updated. Use this value as the target of the
tacmd updateAgent command.
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd updateAgent -t RZ
-n <Managed system name>
-v 063102000
Note:
- The component (-t) for the updateAgent command is specified as
two characters (rz), not three characters (krz).
- The node (-n) for the updateAgent command is the managed system
name of the operating system (OS) agent to be updated. The
target node for an updateAgent command is always an OS agent.
- The following error might occur with the updateAgent command on
Linux and UNIX endpoints; however, the agent is successfully
updated. This error does not occur on Windows endpoints.
KUICUA011I: Updating the rz agents.
KUICUA015E: The updateAgent command did not complete because an
error occurred. Refer to the following error
returned from the server:
The monitoring server encountered an error while updating the
managed system type.
The kuiras1.log file might provide more information about
this error. If you require further assistance to resolve the
error, contact IBM Software Support.
A timeout occurred while waiting for an agent task to complete on
{node name}.
The agent task did not complete within the configured
time out period.
Verify that the target system is online. Increase the
time out value and try the operation again.
5.4 Agent support update
------------------------
Fix 6.3.1-TIV-ITM_EXT-FP0001 included changes to the agent
support files that must be installed. If you have already
installed these updates, there are no additional installation
steps. Otherwise, use the following steps to update the Tivoli
Enterprise Monitoring Server, Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, or
Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop.
1. Transfer the appropriate archive file
to the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Servers, IBM Tivoli
Enterprise Portal Servers, or Tivoli Enterprise Portal desktops.
2. Expand the archive file using the tar command on UNIX systems or an
unzip utility on Windows systems.
3. Use the procedures in the "IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.2.2
Installation and Setup Guide."
4. Use the procedures in the specific database monitoring agent user's
guide to complete the installation and configuration.
5. If the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server being updated is remote (not a
Hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server) then restart the Tivoli Enterprise
Monitoring Server.
6.0 Additional installation information
========================================
6.1 Verifying the update
------------------------
1. To verify that the agent was updated correctly, use the tacmd command to
view the current version of the agent. You are required to log in
to a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server before you view the agent
version.
For example:
On a UNIX system, where $CANDLEHOME is the IBM Tivoli Monitoring
installation directory, the default location is '/opt/IBM/ITM'.
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd login -s <server>
-u <itmuser>
-p <password>
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd listSystems -t rz
On a Windows system, where %CANDLE_HOME% is the IBM Tivoli
Monitoring installation directory, the default location
is 'C:\ibm\itm'.
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd login -s <server>
-u <itmuser>
-p <password>
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd listSystems -t RZ
When the agent update is successful, the agent version is
06.31.02.00
Note:
The component (-t) for the tacmd listSystems command is specified
as two characters (RZ), not three characters (KRZ).
2. To verify that the agent support files were updated correctly, use
the kincinfo command on Windows systems or the cinfo command on Linux
or UNIX systems to dump the component versions on each of the
following systems: Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring
Server, and Tivoli Enterprise Portal desktop.
Note:
The kincinfo and cinfo command output examples in the sections
that follow show all components that can be updated. If you do
not have all of these components installed, components that
are not installed are not displayed in the output of these commands.
Sample output for the cinfo command on a UNIX or Linux systems
--------------------------------------------------------------
To validate that all components are installed, run the
following command:
./cinfo
This command provides four options on the CINFO menu shown in
the example that follows. Choose the option that meets your requirements.

name + krz instance name + host name).
- Problem: Unable to remote deploy oracle agent to a windows IA64
system, if no WINNT platform bundle exists in the TEMS
repository.
defect: 122095
Workaround: Add the 3 Windows operating system bundles (WINNT, WIX64, WIA64) to
The Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server repository before remotely deploying
on a Windows IA64 system.
- Problem: Alert logs is not displaying customized message ID.
- Workaround: If you must monitor custom message IDs in Alert logs,
message IDs must be specified in the
installdir/config/<host>_rz_<inst>_msgid.properties file
and you must restart the agent to display it in the portal.
- Problem: default value for "Last Execution Error Code" is displaying as 0
in workspace "Customized SQLs->RDB Customized SQL Summary status".
- Workaround: The customized SQLs are not executed during agent startup
by default. These SQLs are executed only if there is a situation or
you click "Link to SQL Result" in the workspace "Customized SQLs ->
RDB Customized SQL Summary Definition".
- Problem: agent environment variable or error trace level do not take
effective.
- Workaround: If you must edit an environment variable such as setting a new
error trace level, the new variable must be modified in both the
installdir/config/rz.ini file and the installdir/config/rz_<instance>.config
file, and you must restart agent.
- Problem: agent report ORA-00942 error message in the log files like
following. Oracle Database Server is 10.1.0.2.
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
ORA-06512: at line 128
- Workaround: Run the krzgrant.sql script in 6.3.1-TIV-ITM_KRZ-FP0001 to resolve
this error.
- Problem: tacmd listsystems command does not display proper version
for offline agent's subnode.
For subnode e.g. RZ:HOSTNAME-INSTANCE-CONNECTION:RDB, version is
displaying as 06.31.01.XX, Status is 'N'.
- Workaround: Check the version from the root node of the agent to get the correct
version, for example, for INSTANCE:HOSTNAME:RZ, the version is displayed as
06.31.01.00.
- Problem: After upgrading to Fix Pack 2 and configuring the Oracle
Database Extended agent silently, the agent cannot
connect to the database, which is specified by the
KRZ_CONN_STR parameter in the silent configuration
response file.
- Workaround: The KRZ_CONN_TYPE parameter specifies the connection
type. The Advanced type is required to configure a
database connection with the KRZ_CONN_STR
connection string. For example:
KRZ_CONN_STR.connection=//host:port/service
KRZ_CONN_TYPE.connection=Advanced
To solve the problem, update the silent configuration
response file to specify the KRZ_CONN_TYPE parameter and
reconfigure the agent instance silently. For example:
# cat /tmp/silent_config.txt
############ PRIMARY TEMS CONFIGURATION ############
CMSCONNECT=YES
HOSTNAME=tivp055.cn.ibm.com
NETWORKPROTOCOL=ip.pipe
IPPIPEPORTNUMBER=1918
############ Database connection config ############
INSTANCE=inst1
KRZ_CONN_USERID=tivoli
KRZ_CONN_PASSWORD=password
KRZ_INSTANT_CLIENT_LIBPATH=/opt/IBM/oci
KRZ_DYNAMIC_LISTENER=FALSE
###
KRZ_CONN_STR.asm=//tivx010:1521/+ASM
KRZ_CONN_USERID.asm=sys
KRZ_CONN_PASSWORD.asm=oracle
KRZ_CONN_MODE.asm=SYSDBA
KRZ_CONN_TYPE.asm=Advanced
# /opt/IBM/ITM/bin/itmcmd config -A -o inst1
-p /tmp/silent_config.txt rz
- Problem: The Oracle Database Extended agent reports the error
message ORA-03135: connection lost contact and the
subnode that represents the monitored database
connection is still offline in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal
after the monitored database recovers to active status..
- Workaround: The Oracle Database might disconnect all active connections
and reject new connections under certain circumstances.
An example is when resources such as CPU are exhausted
in the Oracle Server.
To solve the problem, ensure that the Oracle Database
and Oracle Listener are open to the new connection and
restart the agent instance.
- Problem: After you upgrade to V6.3.1 Fix Pack 2, the subnode ID
is truncated from 25 characters to 24 characters. The
original subnode with 25 characters changes to gray, and
the new subnode with 24 characters is displayed.
- Workaround: This behavior is expected. In 6.3.1-TIV-ITM_KRZ-IF0001
or later versions, the agent changed the maximum
subnode ID from 25 characters to 24 characters to avoid
the following problem, which is a known APAR for IBM
Tivoli Monitoring V6.2.2 Fix Pack 4: "pure event cannot
fire when subnode name length is equal to or greater
than 32 characters."
To avoid truncation of the subnode from 25 characters to
24 characters, use one of the following two options:
Option 1: Set the following variable to a value of 25 in
the agent environment variable files:
KRZ_MAX_SUBNODE_ID_LENGTH=25. After you upgrade,
the default value is 24.
Note:
- On UNIX or Linux operating systems, the
environment variable files include
installdir/config/rz.ini and installdir/config/
rz_instance.config.
- On Windows operating systems, the environment
variable files include installdir\TMAITM6\
KRZENV_instance (32-bit) or installdir\
TMAITM6_X64\KRZENV_instance (64-bit).
Option 2: Reduce the length of the database
connection name, agent instance name, or host name;
or, see Changing default naming conventions for
database connections in the Installation and
Configuration Guide for the Oracle Database Extended
agent for information.

TRAIN_Q258 | IBM How to delete a document hierarchy node in IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture - United States dco document hierarchy node delete remove hide blank page TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
How do I delete a document hierarchy node, such as a blank page, so that it no longer processes rules or appears in a batchview listing?
CAUSE
It is sometimes desired to remove pages or documents from a batch, as they are no longer needed or to simplify processing for a Verify operator.
ANSWER
The DeleteChildType from the Validations library can be used by running it from the parent of the object to be deleted and specifying the specific child.
For example, to remove blank pages from a batch:
1. Create a special page type attached at the batch level called something like DeleteMe.
2. Use an action like BlankPagesIDBySize to identify the blank page: * BlankPagesIDBySize (1000,DeleteMe)
3. Create a rule with the action DeleteChildType(DeleteMe) and attach it at the batch level to have it remove all pages with page type DeleteMe.
If building a custom action, the DeleteChild API method is invoked from the parent object.
*
* | Hide a page in dotedit step I am working on datacap 8.1 version. I have 2 pages in a batch. Page 1 with status as 1, Page 2 with status as 20. Both are of same page type. In verification step (dotedit) I want to hide the page which is with status 20. I have given status 20 in ignored page status in web administrator for verify. But still when I navigate through pages in dotedit batch view the respective panel is loading. I am able to submit the batch even if I have one page in a batch with 20 as status.
Is there any way to hide the page (we have multiple same type of pages in a batch) from dotedit based on the page status? | The DeleteChildType from the Validations library can be used by running it from the parent of the object to be deleted and specifying the specific child.

TRAIN_Q259 | IBM Purging the connection pool of a WebSphere Application Server data source using the data source MBean - United States was app server TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
During the testing or troubleshooting of an enterprise application, it may become necessary to purge the connection pool of a WebSphere Application Server data source of existing connections.
SYMPTOM
Changes to the application or environment may invalidate cached connections in the Connection Manager pool. Although these connections will eventually be discarded through the normal processing of the connection requests, it may be desirable to purge them all at once and allow the pool to refill with new, valid connections.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
WebSphere Application Server has an operation on the data source MBean that can be used to purge the connection pool. WebSphere Application Server MBean may be called via the wsadmin console, see the IBM Information Center topic "Scripting the application serving environment (wsadmin)" for more details. The operation name is: purgePoolContents.
The purgePoolContents operation has two options:
1. Normal: * This is the default option.
* Existing in-flight transactions will be allowed to continue work.
* Shared connection requests will be honored.
* Free connections are cleaned up and destroyed.
* In use connections (for example: connections in transactions) are cleaned up and destroyed when returned to the connection pool.
* A close() call issued on any connection obtained prior to the purgePoolContents will be done synchronously (for example: wait for the jdbc driver to return before proceeding).
* Requests for new connections (not handles to existing old connections) will be honored.
2. Immediate: * No new transactions will be allowed to start on any connections obtained prior to the purgePoolContents call. Instead, a StaleConnectionException is thrown.
* No new handles will be handed out on any connections obtained prior to the purgePoolContents call. Instead, a StaleConnectionException is thrown.
* Existing in-flight transactions will be allowed to continue work. Any new activities on a purged Connection will cause a StaleConnectionException or an XAER_FAIL exception (in the case of XA)
* A close() call issued on any connection obtained prior to the purgePoolContents call will be done asynchronously (for example: no waiting for the jdbc driver to return) This is useful if the driver returns.
* Due to the fact that close() does not wait, the number of connections will be decremented immediately in WebSphere Application Server. This might cause the total number of connections in WebSphere Application Server to be temporarily out of sync with the database total number of connections.
* Requests for new connections (for example: not handles to existing old connections) will be honored.
Examples of operations that can be executed on the data source MBean using the wasdmin console: 1. List all data sources:
Using Jacl:
$AdminControl queryNames *:type=DataSource,*
Using Jython:
AdminControl.queryNames("*:type=DataSource,*")
2. Initialize a variable to specify a data source (this example uses Default Datasource, but any data source name listed in the output of above command can be used):
Using Jacl:
set name "Default Datasource"
set ds [$AdminControl queryNames *:type=DataSource,name=$name,*]
Using Jython:
name = "Default Datasource"
ds = AdminControl.queryNames("*:type=DataSource,name="+name+",*")
3. View the pool contents by invoking the showPoolContents operation of the data source MBean:
Using Jacl:
$AdminControl invoke $ds showPoolContents
Using Jython:
print AdminControl.invoke(ds, "showPoolContents")
4. View contents of all pools by invoking the showAllPoolContents operation of the data source MBean:
Using Jacl:
$AdminControl invoke $ds showAllPoolContents
Using Jython:
print AdminControl.invoke(ds, "showAllPoolContents")
5. Immediately purge the pool by invoking the purgePoolContents operation of the data source MBean with the immediate option:
Using Jacl:
$AdminControl invoke $ds purgePoolContents immediate
Using Jython:
AdminControl.invoke(ds, "purgePoolContents", "immediate")
If the purge operation is successful, no response will be observed. If the purge operation is not successful, the response will indicate a possible reason for failure. One common reason for failure is attempting to purge the contents of a connection pool which is not yet available (the connection pool is not created until a naming look-up of the associated datasource or connection factory occurs), resulting in an illegal state exception.
