TRAIN_Q401 | IBM Solving IBM MQ Java code version mismatches using the mqjavalist.sh script - United States WebSphere MQ WMQ TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
When Java™ SE applications and Java EE application servers such as WebSphere Application Server do not use a consistent set of MQ Java archives, applications can fail in unpredictable ways. If WebSphere Application Server notices a mismatch, it issues this message: "MQJCA1008 The WebSphere MQ classes for JMS were found in the class path but were not the correct version. This error can occur if the application server finds an earlier version of the WebSphere MQ classes for JMS in the class path. The error can also occur if you do not configure WebSphere Application Server to use the correct version of the WebSphere MQ classes for JMS."
ENVIRONMENT
The mqjavalist.sh script runs on Linux and UNIX systems and can identify Java archives and classes from MQ V5.3 and later versions. Although the mqjavalist.sh script does not run on Windows systems, it is possible to zip up a directory structure on Windows in order to examine it with mqjavalist.sh on a different system. To use the mqjavalist.sh script, download it from the bottom of this page, copy it to the target system, and make the script executable. Make sure that either the unzip command or the Java jar command is available in your PATH before running mqjavalist.sh. For example:
1. Preparing to run mqjavalist.sh
2.
3. sh> chmod +x mqjavalist.sh
sh> PATH=$PATH:/opt/java7/bin
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
IBM MQ ships a number of Java archives (jar files) that applications use to connect to MQ and work with messages. For Java EE environments, MQ provides a Resource Adapter called wmq.jmsra.rar which contains the jar files required by JMS applications. Java SE and Java EE applications must use a consistent set of MQ jar files at the same maintenance level, or else they might experience a wide variety of problems including intermittent errors, performance problems, and other failures.
It is common to find multiple versions of the MQ jar files in the Java CLASSPATH, or invalidly bundled in Java applications (.ear, .war, and .jar files). Finding and eliminating duplicate copies of the MQ jar files can be a difficult task, but the mqjavalist.sh script simplifies that task on Linux and UNIX systems.

WEBSPHERE APPLICATION SERVER
WebSphere Application Server and other IBM products built on WebSphere Application Server normally show the MQ jar files in more than one location. Except as noted below, the copies of the MQ jar files should match the versions listed on this page [https://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21248089]. Any copies of the MQ jar files other than those listed below might represent a problem:
1. WebSphere Application Server V8.5.5, V8.5 and V8.0

1. WebSphere Application Server V7.0

6. If you created a WebSphere Application Server V7.0 profile before applying fix pack 7.0.0.1 or later, you must update the profile to use the correct MQ Resource Adapter path [https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAW57_7.0.0/com.ibm.websphere.nd.multiplatform.doc/info/ae/ae/tmj_wmqra_restoredefault.html]. Otherwise, the application servers in that profile will use the old MQ Resource Adapter jars under the profile installedConnectors/wmq.jmsra.rar directory rather than the MQ jars in the main installedConnectors/wmq.jmsra.rar directory, which are kept up to date by WebSphere Application Server fix packs.

RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Review the output from mqjavalist.sh to determine where copies of the MQ jar files have been found. Not all duplicates represent a problem, unless they are being loaded by your Java SE application or Java EE application server at runtime. If the com.ibm.mq.commonservices.jar file shows an implementation version of ${version.number} - ${build.level} just ignore it.
In the sample output above, entries #16 through #27 represent the jar files for the installed MQ Resource Adapter. They all show an implementation version of 7.1.0.0 - k000-L111005.1 except for #21, com.ibm.mqjms.jar, which shows an implementation version of 7.0.1.5 - k701-105-110419. Because the jar file versions are not in sync, MQ JMS will not function as expected.
In cases like this, the wmq.jmsra.rar file should contain a copy of the MQ jar at the right level for the application server. Entry #14 in the mqjavalist.sh output shows the com.ibm.mqjms.jar file with an implementation version of 7.1.0.0 - k000-L111005.1, which is what we need. Use the jar program to extract the com.ibm.mqjms.jar file from the wmq.jmsra.rar archive, then copy it over the back-level version of the jar. Use chown and chmod to ensure the permissions on the file are correct.
In other cases, you might find that the classpath for the application server, or for your Java SE application, is picking up extra copies of the MQ jar files. Eliminating unnecessary classpath entries can resolve the problem.
If your Java EE application (.ear or .war) bundles a copy of any MQ jar files, you should remove them and rely on the ones from the installed MQ Resource Adapter instead.

TRAIN_Q402 | IBM Demystifying the WebSphere StaleConnectionException - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
What is the StaleConnectionException, why is it issued by WebSphere Application Server, and what should be done about it?
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
In WebSphere Application Server, the StaleConnectionException is issued when the database vendor issues an exception indicating that a connection currently in the connection pool is no longer valid. This can happen for many reasons, including:
* The application tries to get a connection and fails, as when the database is not started.
* A connection is no longer usable due to a database failure. When an application tries to use a connection it has previously obtained, the connection is no longer valid. In this case, all connections currently in use by an application can get this error when they try to use the connection.
* The application using the connection has already called close() and then tries to use the connection again.
* The application tries to use a JDBC™ resource, such as a statement, obtained on a now-stale connection.
When the StaleConnectionException is issued, the behavior is determined by the Purge Policy setting for the connection pool. If the Purge Policy is set to EntirePool, the entire pool is flushed. But if the Purge Policy is set to FailingConnectionOnly, only the connection that caused the StaleConnectionException is purged from the pool.
An application can recover from bad connections by explicitly catching the StaleConnectionException and getting a new connection from the pool. Numerous exceptions issued by DB2, Oracle, DataDirect (for connecting to SQLServer), Sybase, and Informix are currently mapped to the StaleConnectionException, which makes recovery easier for the application programmer. The following pseudocode provides an example of how to recover from a StaleConnectionException:
//get a userTransaction
javax.transaction.UserTransaction tran = getSessionContext().getUserTransaction();
//retry indicates whether to retry or not
//numOfRetries states how many retries have
// been attempted
boolean retry = false;
int numOfRetries = 0;
java.sql.Connection conn = null;
java.sql.Statement stmt = null;
do {
try {
//begin a transaction
tran.begin();
//Assumes that a datasource has already been obtained
//from JNDI
conn = ds.getConnection();
conn.setAutoCommit(false);
stmt = conn.createStatement();
stmt.execute("INSERT INTO EMPLOYEES VALUES
(0101, 'Bill', 'R', 'Smith')");
tran.commit();
retry = false;
} catch(java.sql.SQLException sqlX)
{
// If the error indicates the connection is stale, then
// rollback and retry the action
if (com.ibm.websphere.rsadapter.WSCallHelper
.getDataStoreHelper(ds)
.isConnectionError(sqlX))
{
try {
tran.rollback();
} catch (java.lang.Exception e) {
//deal with exception
//in most cases, this can be ignored
}
if (numOfRetries < 2) {
retry = true;
numOfRetries++;
} else {
retry = false;
}
}
else
{
//deal with other database exception
retry = false
}
} finally {
//always cleanup JDBC resources
try {
if(stmt != null) stmt.close();
} catch (java.sql.SQLException sqle) {
//usually can ignore
}
try {
if(conn != null) conn.close();
} catch (java.sql.SQLException sqle) {
//usually can ignore
}
}

TRAIN_Q411 | IBM Prerequisites for IBM Content Collector Version 4.0.1 - United States PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION
ABSTRACT
This document details the system requirements for IBM Content Collector Version 4.0.1.
CONTENT
Always up-to-date system requirement reports can be dynamically generated by using the Software Product Compatibility Reports (SPCR) tool [http://www-969.ibm.com/software/reports/compatibility/clarity/index.html].
From the Content Collector product tabs below you can select detailed system requirement reports for different contexts (by Operating System, by component). Note that clicking a link will always generate a new, up-to-date report.
Important:
Because other products frequently ship fixes, updates, and new releases, testing every configuration is not possible. In general, you can install and run with updates to supported products if those updates are forward compatible.
Always check for the latest IBM Content Collector security bulletins in the IBM Support Portal and make sure to have the required fixes applied.

TRAIN_Q413 | IBM Error when launching Scan task from Datacap Desktop. - United States Desktop; No data; Scan; VScan TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Receiving the following error message when attempting to launch up Scan task from Datacap Desktop:
"This batch has no data to process. Aborting."
Then followed by this error:
"Unable to run queue."
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
The panel for TravelDocs contained a value with all upper-case letter [eg. TRAVELDOCS], which caused the error to occur when attempting to launch the Scan task from Datacap Desktop
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
The "Bind DCO type to panel" for Datacap Desktop is case-sensitive. Be sure the DCO name matches as it appears in Datacap Studio (both the spelling and case-sensitivity).
Logon to TMWeb client.
Go to Administrator tab
Select the VScan task from the Workflow.
Click Setup under Program.
Then change the value of the Panel to match what is in Datacap Studio. For example "TRAVELDOCS" to "TravelDocs"
Click Save

Hello,
I have recently migrated one datacap application developed in Datacap 8.1 to Datacap 9.0.1. I followed the complete instruction provided in the link
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSZRWV_9.0.1/com.ibm.dc.develop.doc/dcadv001.htm
After migration, when I tried to execute the application using Datacap Desktop. I got errors that "This batch has no data to process. Aborting" and "Unable to run queue". I am attaching the screenshots of error. I am also attaching the DStudio rule's screenshot.
I have verified and configured all the required settings.
Please guide if someone has faced the similar issue and resolved it.
Thanks.

* Similarly, the WebSphere MQ V7.1 Resource Adapter [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21248089#7dotx_0_0] shipped with WebSphere Application Server V8.5.x is supported as long as that version of WebSphere Application Server remains in support, or longer if you purchase a WebSphere Application Server support extension.
* However, if you manually install your own copy of the WebSphere MQ V7.x Resource Adapter in WebSphere Application Server or any third-party Java EE server, it will go out of support with the corresponding WebSphere MQ server version.
* The IBM MQ V8.0 and V9.0 Resource Adapters cannot be installed in WebSphere Application Server V8.5.x, V8.0 and V7.0 because those versions support JMS 1.1 while the IBM MQ Resource Adapters implement JMS 2.0. WebSphere Application Server V9.0 ships with the IBM MQ V9.0 Resource Adapter [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21248089#7dotx_0_0_0] and includes full support for JMS 2.0. The version of MQ Resource Adapter you use must be supported by your Java EE server but does not need to match the version of the queue managers to which you wish to connect.

RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
This behavior occurs if Workplace XT is configured to use Maximum strength keys (>128bit) during installation. In this case, the JRE used by the J2EE Application server, for example <<WAS_home>>\AppServer\java\jre should contain unlimited strength policy files, otherwise it will be unable to encrypt / decrypt user tokens.
* One option is to install the JSSE unlimited strength jar files for the JRE used by the J2EE Application Server. For IBM JREs, more info can be found at
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/security/ [https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/security/]
* Another option is to regenerate the encryption keys using 128bit encryption which doesn't require the unlimited strength policy .jar files. Please refer to the P8 Infocenter for usage information on the com.filenet.wcm.api.util.MakeCryptoKeys utility. | Unable to login to FileNet Workplace XT 1.1.5.x.

TRAIN_Q425 | IBM Raise the feature level of a single VOB without increasing the feature level for other VOBs on the server - United States feature level; chflevel; unreplicated; non-replicated; base; clearcase; 1150579; feature levels; replicated VOB TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
How can you increase the feature level of a single non-replicated IBM Rational ClearCase VOB without increasing the feature level for the other VOBs on the server?
ANSWER
Execute the following two commands:
1. cleartool chflevel -replica <new feature level> replica:<replica name>@\<vob tag>
2. cleartool chflevel -family <new feature level> vob:\<vob tag>
Notes: * These commands are used for replicated VOB as well; however, there are special considerations that need to be taken when changing the feature level of a VOB that is replicated. Review the MultiSite Administrator's Guide under the topic of Feature levels [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/cchelp/v7r0m1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.rational.clearcase.cc_ms_admin.doc/c_feature_levels.htm]for more details.
* If a VOB is used in a UCM environment, the PVOB and all Component VOBs must be at the same feature level in order to utilize the features of that level.
Example:
1. Open a command prompt and set into a view
2. Mount and change directory into the VOB tag
3. Describe the VOB to show current feature level
> cleartool describe -long vob:.
versioned object base "/vobstore/test_vob"
created 23-Mar-01.09:36:29 by John Doe (jdoe.group1@host1)

database schema version: 53
VOB ownership:
owner ibm.com/jdoe
group ibm.com/group1
Additional groups:
group ibm.com/other
VOB holds objects from the following views:
Attributes:
FeatureLevel = 2
4. Determine the replica name (by default is original)
> cleartool lsreplica
For VOB replica "/vobstore/test_vob":
23-Mar.09:36 jdoe replica "original"
5. Change the feature level. * Step 1:
> cleartool chflevel -replica 3 replica:original@/vobstore/test_vob
Replica feature level raised to 3.
* Step 2:
> cleartool chflevel -family 3 vob:/vobstore/test_vob
cleartool: Warning: Raising the VOB family feature level may make it impossible to move this VOB to servers running an earlier revision of ClearCase and to create MultiSite replicas of this VOB on such servers.
Raise VOB family feature level? [no] y
VOB family feature level raised to 3.
6. Describe the VOB to show new feature level:
> cleartool describe -long vob:.

TRAIN_Q427 | 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. Application Code [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21163875&aid=1] Overrides all other settings RELATED INFORMATION

TRAIN_Q428 | IBM Increasing Java Heap Memory in IBM Tivoli Common Reporting 2.1/2.1.1 - United States TCR - Tivoli Common Reporting TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
How to increase Java heap memory size in IBM Tivoli Common Reporting (TCR) 2.1/2.1.1 versions?
CAUSE
Running a large scale report with Default java heap settings might result in OutOfMemory error
ANSWER
TCR 2.1/2.1.1 server provides a default setting for heap size, a minimum size (xms) of 512MB and a maximum size (xmx) of 1024MB.
In order to change the heap memory size, execute the following command:
<INST>/tipv2/bin/wsadmin.sh[.bat] -user <USERNAME> -password <PASSWORD> -f <INST>/tipv2/profiles/TIPProfile/bin/changeMem.py --xms <MINVALUE> --xmx <MAXVALUE>
where <INST> is the TCR Installation folder like /opt/IBM/tivoli
<MINVALUE> can be 1024 and <MAXVALUE> can be 1843 (1GB and 1.8GB respectively)
NOTE: In order to avoid OutOfMemory error, it is recommended to be within the 2GB limit (for 32 bit architectures - maximum memory can be 2^32)
For 64-bit JVM, the maximum heap value can be upto 50% of the available physical memory. Reason being maximum memory will be 2^64 which is 16 exabytes which is a very huge number!
1 exabyte = 1024*1024*1024 Gigabyte!
Please refer to the links provided in the 'Related Infomation' section to learn more on the Java sizing and heap information.
To test the JVM's maximum heap memory support, please follow the below test:
a) Open command line / shell script and navigate to <INST>/tipv2/java/jre/bin folder
b) Execute this command: java -Xmx1843m hello
- if java accepts this 1.8GB setting, then it will throw the "class not found" error for hello
- if java does not accept this value, then it gives the "Initialization error" and "Failed to instantiate heap" message!
- You can try to increase the value of Xmx and see where it breaks
- For 32-bit JVM, it is not advised to set this value beyond 1843m but for 64-bit JVM, value can be upto 50% of the available physical memory.
After setting the new values, restart the TCR server for the changes to take effect.

TRAIN_Q430 | IBM Upgrading to Jazz for Service Management Version 1.1.3.0 using Installation Manager results in a permission denied error - United States jazzsm1130relnotes TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
When upgrading Jazz for Service Management to Version 1.1.3.0 using Installation Manager, the installation fails with the following error:
Cannot run program "/space/IBM/JazzSM/ui/bin/wrapper.sh" (in directory "/space/IBM/JazzSM/ui/bin"): error=13, Permission denied [/space/IBM/JazzSM/install/tip/tipWrapp
erInstall.xml:215]
CAUSE
During the upgrade process the non-root user does not have the correct permissions to run the shell script. This is due to the following:
1. Jazz for Service Management is installed as a non-root user
2. Installation Manager is installed in user mode through root user
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
The upgrade must be initiated by using the attached script, which gives the non-root user (who originally installed this Jazz for Service Management instance) the correct permissions for the upgrade process.
The script takes two mandatory arguments and one optional argument.
Usage: ./JazzSMgrpModeUpgrade.sh "IM_Install_Location"
"JazzSM_Install_Location [http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEKCU_1.1.3.0/com.ibm.psc.doc/ref/psc_r_pathnames.html]""[Response_file_with_absolute_Path]"
For example (showing default installation paths): ./JazzSMgrpModeUpgrade.sh "/home/root/IBM/InstallManager/" "/opt/IBM/JazzSM/" "/opt/Download/dash_upgrade_rsp.xml"
For IM GUI mode installation, provide the 2 mandatory arguments; IM_Install_Location and JazzSM_Install_Location.
This argument combination invokes Installation Manager in GUI mode and lead you through the rest of the upgrade process.
For IM Silent installation, provide all 3 arguments; IM_Install_Location , JazzSM_Install_Location, and Response_file_with_absolute_Path.
This argument combination invokes Installation Manager in silent mode to upgrade JazzSM.

TRAIN_Q431 | IBM Trouble installing ITM on Windows OS - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Getting the below error when you try to install ITM on Window OS
"D:\Program Files\IBM\ITM" includes blanks. Due to your system settings the installation path cannot include blanks, please specify location with no spaces.
SYMPTOM
When you try to install ITM on " C:\Program Files\IBM\ITM" it woks fine but when we try to install it on "D:\Program Files\IBM\ITM" we get the below error:
"D:\Program Files\IBM\ITM" includes blanks. Due to your system settings the installation path cannot include blanks, please specify location with no spaces.
If you take out the spaces and use D:\ProgramFiles\IBM\ITM, the install will continue.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Couple of ways to fix this...
1. Remove the space in the directory path and install the ITM on a directory without spaces.
Example : D:\IBM\ITM
2. Check the NTFS 8.3 name creation and enable the 8.3 naming creation to install the ITM on a directory path with spaces.
check the value on the below registry location
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation
In case NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation is set to (2), this means the following: NTFS sets the 8.3 naming convention creation on a per volume basis.
You can check the 8.3 name creation using this command for the volumes that are impacted.
For example, if the %TEMP% folder is located on c:\, but you are installing on d:\, then you should run these commands:
fsutil 8dot3name query c:
fsutil 8dot3name query d:
You will get an output like this:
The volume state is: 0 (8dot3 name creation is enabled).
The registry state is: 2 (Per volume setting - the default).
Value and Meaning
0 NTFS creates short file names. This setting enables applications that cannot process long file names and computers that use different code pages to find the files.
1 NTFS does not create short file names. Although this setting increases file performance, applications that cannot process long file names, and computers that use different code pages, might not be able to find the files.
2 NTFS sets the 8.3 naming convention creation on a per volume basis.
3 NTFS disables 8dot3 name creation on all volumes except the system volume.

TRAIN_Q438 | IBM Differences between Rational Rhapsody 8.0 Statecharts and UML 2.4.1 Behavior State Machine - United States Restriction; Restrictions; Limitation; Limitations; drawing; graphical; graph; difference; diferences; gap; deffer; feature; features; concept; concepts; error; errors WHITE PAPER
ABSTRACT
This is a white paper that explains the differences between IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.0.x Statecharts and UML 2.4.1 Behavior State Machine.
CONTENT
Authors: Shinji Kanai, Moria Abadi
OMG UML and IBM Rational Rhapsody have been evolving in parallel, and some differences were created and expanded over time. Not all graphical notations that are defined in UML specification are supported by Rhapsody. There are certain patterns of transitions you cannot draw due to restrictions imposed deliberately, but not necessarily limited by UML specification. Some of UML features such as deferred event and do-activity are not natively supported today. This document covers such gaps that are found between UML specification and Rhapsody implementation, aiming to help you design statechart more effectively and enable easier interchange of statecharts among UML-based modeling tools.
Disclaimer This documentation is created based on differences that are found between Rhapsody 8.0.x Statechart and OMG UML 2.4.1 Superstructure Specification (UML spec). The content is believed to be accurate at the time of publication. Use this documentation at your own risk as it might contain some incompleteness and imprecision.
Table: Graphical Notations and Naming comparison
UML2.4.1 Concept: Behavior state machine element or capability as it is named in OMG UML 2.4.1 Superstructure Spec. Section in spec: The section describing the element in UML spec. In Rhapsody: The corresponding name and graphical notation of UML concept that is used in Rhapsody. Note: Additional comments to help understand the specific concept better.

there is a risk that is involved to support an execution of an action that is being performed while the owning object is in a certain state. For example, there is a state "WaitForInput" with Do Action reading an input from the console in the background. Now an event comes to trigger a transition - a need arose to interrupt the operation of reading the input - but there is no generic way to do such things for all operations unless the action is being performed in a different thread and kill this thread. this solution seems risky for embedded systems and considered inefficient.

TRAIN_Q439 | IBM Transformation Extender Oracle adapter does not support SYS_REFCURSOR return type in an Oracle stored procedure / function - United States Oracle Adapter Unsupported datatype SYS_REFCURSOR TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
When using the IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender (WTX) / IBM Transformation Extender (ITX) Oracle adapter to call a stored procedure / function with a REF_SYSCURSOR return type, a failure of "Unsupported datatype returned is being treated as text" occurs.
SYMPTOM
The Oracle database adapter log (.dbl) reports the following error:

CAUSE
SYS_REFCURSOR is not a valid datatype as a return from an Oracle stored procedure call using the WTX / ITX Oracle adapter.
ENVIRONMENT

SYMPTOM
Check analyses in the SCA interface are showing as <not activated> in the SCA user interface where at one point they were activated and returning data. Now they are not activated and not returning data.
CAUSE
The operator who activated the analysis has been deleted. The audit trail cleaner tool was run and it removed the operator and de-activated the analysis.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
To resolve the issue, have an active operator reactivate the check analyses and then run a new import in SCA. As a best practice, it is recommended that you have an operator account dedicated to activating the SCM check analyses in your deployment. This account should never be deleted.

TRAIN_Q441 | IBM How to serve static files from both IBM HTTP Server and an application in WebSphere Application Server - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
How can I configure IBM HTTP Server (IHS), and the IBM web server Plug-in, and my web application running in WebSphere Application Server (WAS), to serve some of my static files (JPG, GIF, CSS, JS, etc) from the IHS web server, but serve other static files from my web app running in WAS?
CAUSE
The "fileServingEnabled" property in the ibm-web-ext.xmi file in the web application, is like an ON / OFF switch.
A setting of fileServingEnabled="true" means that ALL static files will be served from the web application in WAS only. In this case, the plug-in config will use a wildcard with the application context-root like "/myapp/*". That way every URL starting with /myapp/* will be routed to the application in WAS.
On the other hand, fileServingEnabled="false" means NO static files will be served from the application in WAS. In this case, a wildcard will NOT be used in the plugin-cfg.xml file. Instead, there will be several URI entries matching the URL-Patterns from <servlet-mappings> in the web.xml, like "/myapp/servlet1" and "/myapp/index.jsp". Requests for dynamic content matching the URI entries in the Plug-in config, will be routed to the application in WAS. But everything else (static content) will be handled by the IHS web server itself.
ANSWER
If you want to serve any static files (JPG, GIF, CSS, JS, etc) from your web application in WAS, you must use fileServingEnabled="true" in the ibm-web-ext.xmi file. That will cause the plug-in to use a wildcard entry for the context-root of your web application. For example, if the context-root is "myapp", then there will be a URI entry for "/myapp/*" in the plug-in config, and everything starting with "myapp" will be routed to the application in WAS.
Now, if you also want to be able to serve some of the static files from the IHS web server itself, you will need to do a trick using RewriteRule in the IHS config. Here is how the trick works:
1) Create a subdirectory called "static" under the IHS DocumentRoot directory. And put the static files that you want IHS to serve into that directory. For example in the IHS document root directory (HTTPServer/htdocs/) create a subdirectory called "static". Something like this:
/usr/IBM/HTTPServer/htdocs/static/
2) In your web application, you will reference those files using relative references like "static/picture.jpg", or "static/mystyles.css".
Those relative references will be interpreted as URLs like this:
/myapp/static/picture.jpg
/myapp/static/mystyles.css
Keep in mind that there really is NOT any "static" subdirectory in the application. But that is ok.
3) Now, in the IHS config, you must use RewriteCond and RewriteRule to watch for these references, and redirect to get them from IHS. For example, look at these directives...
<ifModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/myapp/static/(.*) /static/$1 [PT]
</ifModule>
It means, if the URI begins with /myapp/static/* then IHS will rewrite it to just /static/* and "pass-through". Since /static/* does NOT match anything in the Plug-in config, the request will be handled by IHS, and the file will be served from the static directory under IHS DocumentRoot.
To the user looking at the URL in the browser they will see this:
/hostname/myapp/static/picture.jpg
But, the file will really be served by IHS from here:
/hostname/static/picture.jpg
Here is another example:
If you just want to match and serve *.gif files from IHS, use:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(gif)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/myapp/(.*) /static/$1 [PT]
If you just want to match and serve *.gif, *.css and *.js files from IHS, use:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(gif|css|js)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/myapp/(.*) /static/$1 [PT]
Which assumes the files themselves are placed in [IHS_DOC_ROOT]/static/.
4) For the static files in the application, you will need to put them in some other directory that is NOT called "static", for example "images/sunset.jpg" would be a directory and file in the myapp application. This URL request, would be handled by the Plug-in and sent to the application in WAS:
hostname/myapp/images/sunset.jpg
So, by using the trick described above, some static files will be served from IHS, like:
/hostname/myapp/static/picture.jpg
But other static files will be served from the web application running in WAS, like:
/hostname/myapp/images/sunset.jpg | How to serve static images from our HTTP Server instead of WebSphere 8.5 application? How to serve static images from our HTTP Server instead of WebSphere 8.5 application? | If you want to serve any static files (JPG, GIF, CSS, JS, etc) from your web application in WAS, you must use fileServingEnabled="true" in the ibm-web-ext.xmi file.

The Datacap system appears to become non-responsive, requiring a restart of all components to get it working again.
CAUSE
The cause is due to a malformed SQL query string. From the client perspective, it was reported to occur during logon via TMWeb, and Thick Client. Another case was from a user that was doing a Thick Client query.
TMServer has an feature where it will retry any command that results in error, based on the settings in the registry. The settings reflect the number of retries to do and the time interval to wait. The default settings have a duration of 16 minutes, which gives the appearance that the TMServer has hung.
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
Collect and examine the TMServer log. Look for multiple instances (6-12) of an ADO error, indicating a bad query was executed. This information can be used to identify the user that is causing the problem
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
While bad queries should be avoided, the following will allow TMServer to respond faster, should a bad query happen:
1. Stop all Datacap applications, then stop the TMServer.
2. Change the following registry entries on the TMServer box:
*
*
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Datacap\TMS\InterThread (REG_SZ) Admin retries HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Datacap\TMS\InterThread (REG_SZ) ADO retries HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Datacap\TMS\InterThread (REG_SZ) Engine retries
*
*
*
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Datacap\TMS\InterThread (REG_SZ) Admin retries HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Datacap\TMS\InterThread (REG_SZ) ADO retries HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Datacap\TMS\InterThread (REG_SZ) Engine retries
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
3. Restart the TMServer, then start the Datacap applications in reverse order.
Please Note: Since these are considered tuning parameters, you will need to test to see what settings work best for your system.

TRAIN_Q450 | IBM Changes in the default user identifier between WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 classes for JMS and WebSphere MQ V7.1 classes for JMS - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
You have configured a WebSphere Application Server WebSphere MQ messaging provider connection factory without an Authentication Alias and do not programmatically supply user identifier information when creating a connection to a queue manager. You notice a change in the default behaviour between WebSphere Application Server versions regarding the user identifier flowed on the MQCONN to the target WebSphere MQ Queue Manager:
- When using WebSphere Application Server v7.0 and v8.0, no user identifier value (blank) is passed to the queue manager.
- When using WebSphere Application Server V8.5, a non-blank user identifier value is passed to the queue manager.
In the latter case, you receive the following exception when creating a connection to a queue manager:
JMSCMQ0001: WebSphere MQ call failed with compcode '2' ('MQCC_FAILED') reason '2035' ('MQRC_NOT_AUTHORIZED')
Is this change in behaviour expected?
ANSWER
WebSphere MQ access control is based on user identifiers. There is a deliberate change in the default behaviour between the WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 classes for JMS and the WebSphere MQ V7.1 (and later) classes for JMS regarding the default user identifier flowed to the queue manager.
From the WebSphere MQ V7.1 classes for JMS onwards, a non-blank user identifier is always flowed to the queue manager when creating a connection to WebSphere MQ. This is true even if no user identifier has been specified, or a blank or null user identifier has been specified; for example by calling:
MQConnectionFactory.createConnection();
or:
MQConnectionFactory.createConnection(“”, “”);
or:
MQConnectionFactory.createConnection(null, null);
In the case where a null or blank user identifier has been specified, the WebSphere MQ V7.1 and later classes for JMS will query the value of the Java System Property user.name. The value of this property is flowed to the queue manager for authorization.
As a result, if the user identifier specified by the Java System Property user.name is not authorized to access the queue manager, the queue manager will return an exception to the WebSphere MQ classes for JMS with Reason Code MQRC_NOT_AUTHORIZED and the connection to the queue manager will not be established.
This change in behaviour could affect topologies that previously relied on the default behaviour in the WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 classes for JMS that flowed a blank user identifier when establishing a CLIENT mode transport connection. The expectation that a blank or null user identifier will be flowed by default, and that the user identifier that started the WebSphere MQ server-connection channel would be used by the queue manager when performing the authorization checks, is no longer valid from the WebSphere MQ V7.1 classes for JMS.
In the case outlined above, system administrators that are currently relying on the default behaviour of the WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 classes for JMS should review their configurations regarding the use of user identifiers and authorization. This might also help to improve security within their WebSphere MQ topology.
In summary, the change in behaviour will affect users of:
- The WebSphere MQ V7.1 and later classes for JMS.
- The WebSphere MQ V7.1 and later JCA Resource Adapter that includes the classes for JMS.
- Versions of WebSphere Application Server that include the WebSphere MQ V7.1 and later JCA Resource Adapter. Currently this is WebSphere Application Server V8.5.0.0 and later.
The com.ibm.mq.jms.ForceUserID Java System Property
A Java System Property called “com.ibm.mq.jms.ForceUserID” was introduced as part of APAR IZ49302 [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IZ49302] and included from WebSphere MQ V6.0.2.8 and WebSphere MQ V7.0.1.
The changes made as part of this APAR could be used to change the default behaviour in the WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 classes for JMS regarding the user identifier value flowed to the queue manager when creating a connection.
This property is no longer valid from WebSphere MQ V7.1. Setting this property will have no affect on the WebSphere MQ V7.1 classes for JMS and later.

TRAIN_Q451 | IBM Configure IBM Content Collector to use SSL to communicate with IBM FileNet P8. - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
How do I configure IBM Content Collector (ICC) to use SSL to communicate with IBM FileNet P8 for all components?
CAUSE
ICC communicates with P8 in several different components. Depending on the API used for the various components, P8 certificates need to be installed in multiple places.
ANSWER
Do the following steps to install P8 certificates. Depending on your business requirements, you may not use all of the components so some steps may not be necessary.
* First obtain a P8 server certificate by accessing the P8 Content Engine ping page using this URL: https://<ce_server>:<ssl_port>/FileNet/Engine
From the browser, view the certificate and copy it to a file. Use it for later steps.
Do not use the MTOM page as it may not produce the same certificate that ICC requires.
* Perform this step if you are going to run ICC Initial Configuration to create new document classes in P8 object store. * To import the certificate, issue the following command, whereICCInstallDiris the directory of your Content Collector installation andP8CertificatFileis the certificate for the FileNet P8 server: "ICCInstallDir\java\jre\bin\keytool.exe" -import -file P8CertificateFile
-keystore "ICCInstallDir\java\jre\lib\security\cacerts" -alias afup8
* At the password prompt, enter the password for the JRE keystore. (The default password is changeit.)
* Enterywhen asked whether to trust the certificate.
* Run ICC Initial Configuration and you should then be able to validate the connection with P8 using SSL.
* Perform this step if you are going to run task route archiving to P8: * Add the P8 certificate into the Windows Trusted Root Certificate Authorities via the Microsoft Management Console.
* For more details instructions, refer to this document:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21610358 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21610358]
* Perform this step if you are going to retrieve, restore, or search for documents from P8: * Start ikeyman from ICC-install-directory\AFUWeb\ewasfor the ICC embedded web application server.
* In the ikeyman utility, select Key Database File>Open, and select PKCS12as key database type.
* In theLocationfield, specify theWAShome\profiles\profile name\config\cells\cell name\nodes\node name\trust.p12file.
ReplaceWAShome,profile name,cell name, andnode namewith the proper values of your web application server installation.
* Click OK.
* When prompted for a password, enter the password. ClickOK. The default password is WebAS.
* Under theSigner certificateslist, clickAddto add the P8 certificate.
* Exit ikeyman utility and restart IBM Content Collector Web Application service.

TRAIN_Q455 | IBM Using dblook and ij to work with the embedded Apache Derby in WebSphere Portal - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
IBM WebSphere Portal 6.1 uses an embedded version of Apache Derby out of the box. However, there is no longer a graphical tool such as CloudView (as with Cloudscape 5.x). In order to obtain the data and structure of the WebSphere Portal database, dblook and ij utilities can be used to accomplish such goals.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Before proceeding with the following, it is strongly recommended that you back up your Derby database. Make a copy of <wp_profile>/PortalServer/derby/wpsdb to a backup directory. Since the version of Derby used in WebSphere Portal is embedded, you must stop the Portal server before you can access the database although you can always work on the backup copy.
NOTE: For simplicity, we will omit the extension of the utilities. You should add ".sh" or ".bat' depending on the platform.
There are three primary utility tools that are installed with WebSphere 6.1, "dblook", "ij", and "sysinfo", under the <was_root>/AppServer/derby/bin/embedded directory. The sysinfo utility generates information about the operating system, the Java version and classpath, and the Derby driver files and version information.
dblook utility
The dblook utility is used to view the database structure (in DDL - Data Definition Language) for a specific database.
The usage is dblook -d <databaseURL> [options], where databaseURL is in the "jdbc:derby:<database>" format. The <database> should be given as a full path, such as C:\IBM\WebSphere\wp_profile\derby\wpsdb.
Commonly used options include:
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
* Examples:
*
*
* dblook -d jdbc:derby:C:\IBM\WebSphere\wp_profile\PortalServer\wpsdb -o C:\temp\wpsdb_ddl.sql
*
*
*
*
* dblook -d jdbc:derby:C:\IBM\WebSphere\wp_profile\PortalServer\wpsdb -z release -o C:\temp\wpsdb_ddl.sql
*
*
*
*
* dblook -d jdbc:derby:C:\IBM\WebSphere\wp_profile\PortalServer\wpsdb -z release -t user_desc -verbose -o C:\temp\user_desc.sql
*
*
ij utility
The ij utility is a command line SQL processor. It can be used to run DDL for creating database, tables, indexes, and so on. In a WebSphere Portal environment, it would typically be used for exporting data or making simple changes (when advised by IBM Support).
To start ij, simply open a command prompt or terminal window, change the directory and enter the command. You should then see the ij shell with prompt "ij>".
The following are some common commands that you may use when reviewing data in the Portal database. *
* ij> connect 'jdbc:derby:C:\IBM\WebSphere\wp_profile\derby\wpsdb';
*
*
*
*
* ij> show connections;
*
*
* CONNECTION0* - jdbc:derby:C:\ibm\websphere\wp_profile\portalserver\derby\wpsdb
* = current connection
ij> driver "org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver';
*
*
*
* ij> set schema=release;
*
*
*
*
* ij> select * from user_desc where oid=1000;
*
*
*
*
* ij> run 'myquery.sql';

TRAIN_Q457 | IBM How to set an appropriate number of Portal Datasource connections in WebSphere Portal - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
For a given maximum number of Portal WebContainer threads set, what should I set my maximum Portal datasource connections to?
ANSWER
When tuning WebSphere Portal at version 6.0 and beyond, one of the concerns that arises is how should one tune the maximum number of Portal datasources. Portal can and does make heavy internal use of datasources, so miscalculating this (maximum) value can have a significant impact on system behavior. Out of the box, the default maximum setting is 50. This may or may not be sufficient for any given system.
Each Portal request may make any number of database (DB) requests ranging for none to several.. Further, customized portlets and PPR (Parallel Portlet Rendering) may cause several concurrent DB requests. By default, the maximum number of WebContainer threads is also set to 50. Therefore the ratio between the maximum number of Portal datasource connections to the maximum number of Portal WebContainer threads is 1:1. Support has found that this ratio is often too low for the best performance. In the past, there have been recommendations of this ratio as high as of 2:1 or even 2.5:1.
However, these values caused concern in large deployments where the TOTAL number of maximum datasource connections might start to place a strain on backend resources. Recent analysis suggests that these ratio values may be safely reduced to 1.25: 1 for all Portal datasource, with the exception of the jcrDB when WCM is used extensively. In this case, we recommend a ratio of 1.5:1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For example, if your system's
Maximum number of WebContainer threads is 100
then you should set your
Maximum number of Portal datasource connections to 125
for each Portal datasource.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If during Runtime, you should find that your running out of Portal Datasource connections, you may go ahead and increase the ratio up to 2:1. Please be aware of how this might impact your backend resources and be sure to scale your database accordingly.

To find the number of WebContainer threads that are running in any particular Portal server, use the WebSphere Application Server Admin Console and go to the following location:
Servers ---> Application Servers --> WebSphere_Portal (your server) --> Thread Pools --> WebContainer
To find the Data Source setting for your Portal datasources, use the WebSphere Application Server Admin Console to go to the following location:
Resources ---> Data Sources ---> wpdbDB (for example) --> Connection pools
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | What is the correct number of datasource connections for Portal? What is the best way to figure out how to configure the maximum number of datasource connections for my Portal server? What factors are involved that I need watch out for? | When tuning WebSphere Portal at version 6.0 and beyond, one of the concerns that arises is how should one tune the maximum number of Portal datasources. Portal can and does make heavy internal use of datasources, so miscalculating this (maximum) value can have a significant impact on system behavior. Out of the box, the default maximum setting is 50. This may or may not be sufficient for any given system.
Each Portal request may make any number of database (DB) requests ranging for none to several.. Further, customized portlets and PPR (Parallel Portlet Rendering) may cause several concurrent DB requests. By default, the maximum number of WebContainer threads is also set to 50. Therefore the ratio between the maximum number of Portal datasource connections to the maximum number of Portal WebContainer threads is 1:1. Support has found that this ratio is often too low for the best performance. In the past, there have been recommendations of this ratio as high as of 2:1 or even 2.5:1.
However, these values caused concern in large deployments where the TOTAL number of maximum datasource connections might start to place a strain on backend resources. Recent analysis suggests that these ratio values may be safely reduced to 1.25: 1 for all Portal datasource, with the exception of the jcrDB when WCM is used extensively. In this case, we recommend a ratio of 1.5:1 |

Your startup does not have this. This prompted me to review the
deployment.xml from the JavaContentRepository application directory at
this location...

The enable=false means that you have this application set to not
autostart. Because of this it is not starting during Portal startup
and therefore is not available when the config task attempts to
communicate with it during the upgrade...and therefore causes the
problem.

TRAIN_Q461 | IBM Tivoli Integrated Portal hangs because of Argus java.lang.OutOfMemory. - United States cacheTime; config.xml; Argus; TIP cache; TIPL2CONF; TIPL2PERF TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Argus stores it's role authorizations in memory cache, and is not cleaned out unless the TIP is restarted. The "cacheTime" variable controls this, which is set to -1 by default. If the number of TIP roles is high, it can cause Java OOM errors.
SYMPTOM
TIP hangs. SystemOut.log file shows Java.lang.OutOfMemoryError:
[10/2/13 9:27:54:838 CDT] 0000002a webapp E com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.webapp.WebApp logServletError SRVE0293E:
[Servlet Error]-[/secure/isclite/tiles/nop.jsp]: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space at java.lang.Object.clone(Native Method)
CAUSE
By default, the ARGUS cache will not get cleaned up unless the TIP server is restarted. This normally will give the system good runtime performance. However, in cases where a large number of user/role mappings are defined, the system may run into Java memory issues causing Java OutOfMemory outages.
The cacheTime we are talking about here is Argus cache. The is used for the way the role authorizations are stored in memory by Argus and nothing related to LDAP or SSO. The Argus cache time by default we ship with in TIP is -1 which means the cache will not get cleaned up till we re-start the server.
Error from the <TIP_HOME>/profiles/TIPProfile/logs/server1/SystemOut.log

[Servlet Error]-[/secure/isclite/tiles/nop.jsp]: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space at java.lang.Object.clone(Native Method)
ENVIRONMENT
all environments
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
Java heapdump files will be created in the <TIP_HOME>/profiles/TIPProfile directory.
heapdump.20131022.144244.20034001.phd
The Systemout.log will have have errors similar to this:
[10/2/13 9:27:54:838 CDT] 0000002a webapp E com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.webapp.WebApp logServletError SRVE0293E:
[Servlet Error]-[/secure/isclite/tiles/nop.jsp]: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space at java.lang.Object.clone(Native Method)
Using the memory heap dump analysis shows that Argus is the problem, specifically the instance shown inside the red line in the output of the Java memory analyzer below:
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21657452&aid=1] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21657452&aid=1]
You can also check the cacheTime variable in the <TIP_HOME>/profiles/TIPProfile/config/cells/TIPCell/commonauthz/config.xml file to confirm if it's set to "-1", which means the Argus cache will not get cleaned up unless the TIP server is restarted.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
The cacheTime value in config.xml is in milliseconds. TIP is shipped with the initial value of -1, which means the Argus cache will not be cleared out unless TIP restart. To resolve this issue you need to configure 'cacheTime' to non -1 value. Initially we suggest setting the value to 1200000, which is 20 minutes. After the change you will have to restart the TIP server, normally server1.
NOTE: The cacheTime variable was added in TIP version 2.2.0.0. | How can I configure TIP to clear the ARGUS cache without having to do a system restart? Argus stores it's role authorizations in memory cache, and is not cleaned out unless the TIP is restarted.

TRAIN_Q463 | IBM Multiple logins using the same user ID - United States ConcurrentModificationException; log in; login; multiple; userid; multiple login TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
"ConcurrentModificationException" and other errors may occur if the same user id is logged in to IBM WebSphere Portal multiple times.
ANSWER
WebSphere Portal has no built-in mechanism or configuration setting to limit the number of times a user id may log in. Unexpected behavior may occur if the same id is logged in more than once and this is not supported.
"ConcurrentModificationException" and other errors may be logged.
Most of the related issues were resolved in WebSphere Portal 5.1. However, you may still encounter exceptions or side-effects if you access the Portal in multiple browser windows using the same user id, whether or not the authentication requests take place on separate physical hosts.
It may be possible to prevent multiple logins by writing custom "tracking code." Contact IBM Services for assistance to undertake such a project. WebSphere Portal Development does not have any sample code.
If you wish to write your own code, some of the issues to be aware of are (this is not an inclusive list):
-- Multiple logins may take place on different nodes in a cluster. This means some cluster-wide mechanism would have to be in place to keep track of the logged-in users. Look at the WebSphere Application Server DistributedMap interface.
-- There should be a fail-safe way to track user logout (explicit logout and session timeout). Using a session listener might be a possibility.
-- If a user closes the browser without logging out, that user must wait for a session timeout before logging in again. Otherwise, there should be a "force simultaneous login" option in the login user interface.
For load testing, use unique user ids or virtual users.

TRAIN_Q466 | IBM Seed value used during the instance creation is lost : Recovery procedure - United States seed lost; idsgendirksf; Encryption Seed Value; key stash file TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
THIS DOCUMENT APPLIES ONLY TO THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGE VERSION(S):
English
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Generating key stash file if the seed value which was used at the time of instance creation has been lost then there is no way to recover this seed value.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
There is NO way to recover the seed value used during the instance creation if it has been lost. The only workaround is to create a new instance with a new encryption seed value and then use the db2ldif and ldif2db utilities to export and import data respectively. These utilities can be supplied with the new encryption seed and the salt value of the new instance. Thus the data would be preserved(alongwith the passwords) on this new instance.
Here are the steps to follow:
1. Set up a new instance says "newinst".
$> idsicrt -I newinst -e thisismyencryptionseed -l (/home/newinst) -n
$> idscfgdb -I newinst -w ldap -a newinst -t newinst -l (/home/newinst) -n
$> idscfgsuf -s "o=ibm,c=us" -I newinst -n
$> idsdnpw -u cn=root -p root -I newinst -n
2. Note the encryption seed - "thisismyencryptionseed". Let us call this new_encryptionseed
3. Once this new instance is setup note down the salt value generated by the new server instance by searching for "cn=crypto,cn=localhost".
$> ldapsearch -D <administrator DN> -w <administrator password> -b "cn=crypto,cn=localhost" -s base objectclass=* ibm-slapdCryptoSalt
Let us call this value: new_saltvalue
4. Lets assume that the instance name with the forgotten encryption seed is "oldinst"
5. Use the db2ldif utility on the instance with the forgotten encryptionseed, oldinst with the following options -
$> db2ldif -o outputfile -I oldinst -k new_encryptionseed -t new_saltvalue
6. Once this step is successfully completed the entire data from "oldinst" would be dumped in outputfile.
7. Use the utilities like ldif2db to re-load all the data into the new server instance.
HISTORICAL NUMBER | What happens if I lost my seed and salt value? In ISDS, what happens if I lost my seed and salt value?
This dW Answers question is about an IBM document with the Title:
Open Mic Webcast: Configuring SDS 8.0.1 Virtual Appliance with a remote DB2 database - Tuesday, 17 Jan 2017 [presentation slides are attached; includes link to replay] | There is NO way to recover the seed value used during the instance creation if it has been lost. The only workaround is to create a new instance with a new encryption seed value and then use the db2ldif and ldif2db utilities to export and import data respectively. These utilities can be supplied with the new encryption seed and the salt value of the new instance. Thus the data would be preserved(alongwith the passwords) on this new instance. |
TRAIN_Q467 | IBM Procedure to change the username and/or password for the FileNet Content Engine Directory Service Account, including the bootstrap user - United States change; user; password; fem; directory service; bootstrapconfig; bootstrap user TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
How do you change the user and/or password for Directory Service Account used by the Content Engine?
ANSWER
The Directory Service user account and password are normally used in two product components: FileNet Enterprise Manager (FEM), and the application server. A coordinated update procedure should be followed when there is a need to change the user account and/or password. This procedure applies to FileNet Content Engine 4.x and above.
*
* Note:
*
*
If the same user account is also used as the CE Bootstrap user, the corresponding user in the BootstrapConfig.properties needs to change as well. For changing the GCD admin user/password in BootstrapConfig.properties specifically, refer to this documentation:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/p8docs/v4r5m1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.p8.doc/admin/security/sec_how_change_bootstrap_pwd.htm [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/p8docs/v4r5m1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.p8.doc/admin/security/sec_how_change_bootstrap_pwd.htm]
1. Launch FEM and the application server's administrative console.
a. Login to FEM using the Directory Service account.
b. Login to the application server administrative console with an administrator account.
Important: Do not close above two applications until you have completed step 5 below.
2. Make LDAP account changes:
a. Change the password for an existing account on the LDAP server - Using LDAP interface, change the password for the CE Directory Service account.
OR
b. Create a new user account on the LDAP server for the CE Directory Service account.
3. Add new user (if applicable), to FEM
If the bind user is also the CE admin user, then the bind user will need to be added to all the existing objects in the P8 domain. Please read Update object store with new users and groups [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/p8docs/v4r5m1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.p8.doc/admin/security/sec_how_update_os.htm] for instructions
4. Change Directory Configuration bind user in FEM
Using FEM (step 1a above), go to Domain properties > Directory Configuration > Select Directory Configuration > click on the Modify button > General Tab:
a. Modify the Directory Service User with new user's full distinguish name (DN)
b. Click on Change password check box > change to a new password > click OK.
At this point you will be presented a dialog box with following message:
“These changes require the application server to be restarted. Please restart the application server to incorporate these changes”
click OK > click OK
Important: Do not restart the application server until you have completed step 5 below.
5. Change the user in the application server's directory configuration
- For Websphere, in the WebSphere Administrative Console, go to Global Security > click on Configure under User Account Repository > Modify Bind Distinguished Name (DN) > Modify Bind Password > click OK and Save changes
- For WebLogic go to Security Realms > myrealm > Providers > ldap provider and click on "Provider Specific" tab in WebLogic Admin Console. Change "Principal" and "Credential".
- For JBoss go to <JBoss Home>\server\<CE Server>\conf directory and edit "login-config.xml".
Find "FileNet" application-policy and in login module change bindDN/bindCredential.
6. Changing the CE Bootstrap user
For CE 4.5.x and above:
a. In the Configure Bootstrap Properties task, set the Bootstrap Operation property to Modify Existing.
b. Confirm that the Bootstrapped EAR file property contains the path to the bootstrap file you need to edit.
c. Change the Bootstrap user password. Use Configuration Manager's features to save and run the task.
d. Run Configuration Manager's Deploy Application.
For CE 4.0:
Note: This step is needed only if the GCD user name is the same as the Directory Service account. Note that the example below is for a Windows environment.
- For WebSphere
a. Open command prompt window, go to folder where EAR file reside (it differs depending on CE version). For example, in CE 4.5.1, go to "<CE Home> \ tools \ configure \ profiles \ <profile> \ ear"
b. Backup Engine-ws.ear
c. Execute the command below:
java –jar “c:\program files\FileNet\ContentEngine\lib\BootStrapConfig.jar” –e Engine-ws.ear --username <username> --password <password>
d. Since the Engine-ws.ear file has been deployed in the WebSphere's installedApps path, the Bootstrap file need to be copied to the path manually. Extract the props.jar file from the ear file by utility such as Winzip, copy the props.jar file to theinstalledApps location - “<WebSphere Home>\ AppServer\ profiles \ <profile name> \ InstalledApps \<serverNodecell> \ FileNetEngine.ear \ APP-INF \ lib \"
Note that an alternative to copying the props.jar file is to uninstall and re-install the updated ear file in WebSphere.
- For WebLogic
a. Open command prompt window, go to folder - "<WebLogic home> \ user_projects \ domains \ <domain> \ servers "
b. Backup FileNetEngine.ear
c. Execute the command below:
java –jar “c:\program files\FileNet\ContentEngine\lib\BootStrapConfig.jar” –e Engine-wl.ear --username <username> --password <password>
- For JBoss
a. Open command prompt window, go to folder - "<JBoss Home> \ server \ <server> \ deploy \"
b. Backup FileNetEngine.ear
c. Execute the command below:
java –jar “c:\program files\FileNet\ContentEngine\lib\BootStrapConfig.jar” –e Engine-jb.ear --username <username> --password <password>
7. Remove cached files in the application server
- Close FileNet Enterprise Manager (Step 1a)
- Close Administrative Console (Step 1b)
- Stop the application server
- Remove the cached FileNetEngine directory in the application server.
For example, the default windows path on Websphere 6.0 is
"C:\program files\Websphere\AppServer\profiles\<profile name>\temp\<server node>\
<server>\FileNetEngine"
8. Restart the application server, and login to FEM using the new user and password.
9. Troubleshooting
If CE fails to start due to mistakes in the above procedures, you may not be able to redo the change through these procedures because FEM will fail to run.
In this case, you can do the following:
- Back out the change made to the GCD database in step 3 by deleting the latest row in the FNGCD table.
- Back out the change made to the application server in step 4 by redoing the procedure with the previous user.
- Back out the change made to the BootstrapConfig.properties file's GCD user by using the backup EAR file
- Restart the application server, and login to FEM using the previous user. | How can we change the password for LDAP bind user? We need to change our LDAP bind user due to security requirement. Is there any documentation for the procedure? | The Directory Service user account and password are normally used in two product components: FileNet Enterprise Manager (FEM), and the application server.

TRAIN_Q472 | IBM Unable to start Ping Probe by non-root user on AIX - United States Ping probe; non root; start; permissions TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
THIS DOCUMENT APPLIES ONLY TO THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGE VERSION(S):
English
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Ping probe fails to start when the probe is installed and started by non-root user.
SYMPTOM
The following error is seen in the probe's log:
Error: E-P_P-002-038: Could not change euid: Operation not permitted
Error: E-P_P-002-017: IPv4 socket failed: specified action does not have access permission of the file
Error: E-P_P-002-037: This program can only be run by root, or it must be setuid root.
CAUSE
Ping probe needs permissions which allow it to run as root and the LIBPATH setting should be changed.
ENVIRONMENT
AIX
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
To enable non-root user to start the probe, you need to change the owner to root and permissions to setuid. And AIX ignores the LIBPATH setting when program runs as setuid root, so you also need to put either a copy of the required libraries, or a symbolic link to the required libraries in one of the trusted paths like /lib or /usr/lib.
1. Change the owner to root and permissions to setuid.
e.g
# cd $OMNIHOME/probes/aix5/
# chown root:root nco_p_ping
# chmod +s nco_p_poing
2. Put a symbolic link to the required libraries.
e.g
# cd /usr/lib
# ln -s /opt/IBM/netcool/platform/aix5/lib/libgsk*
# ln -s /opt/IBM/netcool/platform/aix5/lib/libPa_r.so
# ln -s /opt/IBM/netcool/platform/aix5/lib/libnetcool_r.so
# ln -s /opt/IBM/netcool/platform/aix5/lib/libslclient_r.so
# ln -s /opt/IBM/netcool/platform/aix5/lib/libOpl_r.so
# ln -s /opt/IBM/netcool/platform/aix5/lib/libsybct_r.so
# ln -s /opt/IBM/netcool/platform/aix5/lib/libsybcs_r.so
# ln -s /opt/IBM/netcool/platform/aix5/lib/libsybtcl_r.so
# ln -s /opt/IBM/netcool/platform/aix5/lib/libsybcomn_r.so
# ln -s /opt/IBM/netcool/platform/aix5/lib/libtre.a
# ln -s /opt/IBM/netcool/platform/aix5/lib/libsybintl_r.so
# ln -s /opt/IBM/netcool/platform/aix5/lib/libicuuc40.a
# ln -s /opt/IBM/netcool/platform/aix5/lib/libicui18n40.a
# ln -s /opt/IBM/netcool/platform/aix5/lib/libicudata40.a
Note:
The required libraries can be seen by the following command:
# dump -H $NCHOME/omnibus/platform/aix5/nco_p_ping
Note:
If there are newer modules of the required libraries, it's better to create a symbolic link to the newer module.
e.g
Run
# ln -s /opt/IBM/netcool/platform/aix5/lib/libicui18n40.1.a
rather than,
# ln -s /opt/IBM/netcool/platform/aix5/lib/libicui18n40.a
But, please note that it would be better to create the symbolic links again whenever after you apply Fix pack for OMNibus core.

TRAIN_Q473 | IBM SqlException with message "Caught java.io.CharConversionException." and ERRORCODE=-4220 - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
When an application uses the IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ (also known as the JCC driver) and is connected to a database with code set UTF-8 (code page 1208), it throws an
SqlException with message including "Caught java.io.CharConversionException" and ERRORCODE=-4220 if the data in a character column that it queries contains a sequence of bytes that is not a valid UTF-8 string.
SYMPTOM
An exception is thrown similar to this:
com.ibm.db2.jcc.am.SqlException: [jcc][t4][1065][12306][XXX.XXX.XXX] Caught java.io.CharConversionException. See attached Throwable for details. ERRORCODE=-4220, SQLSTATE=null
[...]
Caused by: java.nio.charset.MalformedInputException: Input length = XXX
[...]
Caused by: sun.io.MalformedInputException
at sun.io.ByteToCharUTF8.convert(ByteToCharUTF8.java:XXX)
[...]
CAUSE
The JCC driver throws the exception when data in a character column that it queries is not a valid string in the database code page.
The invalid data could have been input to the database in the following ways:
* By running an SQL statement which writes byte values to the database. For example: INSERT INTO tab1 VALUES (X'C3')
* By running the IMPORT or LOAD commands for files which contain character data that is not in the code page of the client machine, so the appropriate code page conversion was not done. To make sure that the the appropriate code page conversion is done when running IMPORT or LOAD, specify the code page of the input file by including the "codepage=x" file type modifier (specifying the code page in place of x).
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
You can use the HEX function to find out what are the byte values in a character column.
For example, to find out the byte values in column COL1 in table TAB1, run:
SELECT HEX(col1) FROM tab1
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Update the invalid data with a valid UTF-8 character string.
Alternatively, for JCC driver versions that support it you can set the JCC configuration property db2.jcc.charsetDecoderEncoder=3 so that instead of throwing an exception the JCC driver returns the Unicode REPLACEMENT CHARACTER (U+FFFD) in place of a sequence of bytes that is not a valid UTF-8 string.
The JCC configuration property db2.jcc.charsetDecoderEncoder is supported in versions of the JCC driver that come with DB2 LUW 9.5 Fix Pack 8 and later (APAR IC74896), DB2 LUW 9.7 Fix Pack 5 and later (APAR IC74895), and all DB2 LUW releases from DB2 10.1 onwards.
For example, suppose you have a Java program MyApp.java that executes an SQL query of a database column that contains a sequence of bytes that is not a valid string.
When you run:
java MyApp
it throws an exception. But when you run:
java -Ddb2.jcc.charsetDecoderEncoder=3 MyApp
it returns the string with any invalid sequence of bytes replaced by the Unicode REPLACEMENT CHARACTER.
The Unicode REPLACEMENT CHARACTER often appears like this

After successful installation of JazzSM 1.1.2.1/DASH 3.1.2.1 with WebSphere 8.5.5.9, some of the icons in the main DASH window are missing on the left.
CAUSE
It was recently discovered that some .jar files were not included in WebSphere 8.5.5.9, that were available in previous WebSphere releases, and are required for several functions in DASH.
ENVIRONMENT
JazzSM 1.1.2.1 / DASH 3.1.2.1 WAS 8.5.5.9
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
After you login to DASH and select "Console Settings", the displayed window, which should have several lines, is blank:
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21981870&aid=1]
Also, in this case there wasn't any icons in the upper left portion of the main DASH window.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
The missing jar files are included in DASH 3.1.2.1 Cumulative Patch 5, which you can download from this site:
http://www-933.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/swg/selectFixes?parent=ibm~Tivoli∏uct=ibm/Tivoli/Jazz+for+Service+Management&release=1.1&platform=All&function=all [http://www-933.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/swg/selectFixes?parent=ibm~Tivoli&product=ibm/Tivoli/Jazz+for+Service+Management&release=1.1&platform=All&function=all]
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21981870&aid=2] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21981870&aid=2]
If you have any questions as to whether DASH 3.1.2.1 Cumulative Patch 5 has been installed, please run this command:
<JazzSM_HOME>/ui/bin/consolecli Version if patch 5 has been installed, it will have output showing the patch number shown in the red square in the screen shot:
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21981870&aid=3] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21981870&aid=3]

TRAIN_Q477 | IBM Leap Second bug in older Linux kernels may affect IBM MQ and WebSphere MQ - United States FLASH (ALERT)
ABSTRACT
Leap seconds are a periodic one-second adjustment of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) required to keep a system's time of day close to the mean solar time.
A leap second is scheduled for 31 December 2016 at 23h 59m 60s UTC.
In the past, the addition of leap seconds caused some systems running older Linux kernels to fail. IBM MQ and WebSphere MQ queue managers running on these systems generated repeated FDC files showing Probe Id XY348010 or XC272003 from xcsCreateThread, with error code xecP_E_NO_RESOURCE. Other FDCs are also possible.
CONTENT
On 31 December 2016, the Network Time Protocol (NTP) daemon will schedule a leap second [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second] to occur at midnight, making the final minute of the day 61 seconds long. Prior leap second insertions, including the 30 June 2016 leap second, caused some Linux systems to exhibit unexplained high CPU usage.
IBM MQ and WebSphere MQ use the Native POSIX Thread Library (NPTL) which relies on futuxes ("fast userspace mutexes") for synchronization between threads. Futexes can exhibit high CPU spins after leap seconds on Linux kernel versions 2.6.22 through 3.5-rc7, inclusive, although some Linux distributions shipped patches for kernels in this range:
*
* Leap Second to be added on December 31st 2016
*
*
*
* General information on Leap Second 2016
*
* Fixes and workarounds to avoid issues caused by Leap Second 2015
*
*
*
* Addition of leap second causes spuriously high CPU usage and futex lockups
Contact your Linux vendor to check the status of other distributions, or check the Linux kernel version using "uname -r" and confirm that your system is older than 2.6.22 or running 3.5 or later.
If you encounter this problem, the following workaround may resolve the high CPU usage. As root, run:
* date -s "$(LC_ALL=C date)"

TRAIN_Q478 | IBM Use"isolate the resource provider" to establish data source connections using a different JDBC driver from the same database vendor - United States isolate this resource provider TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Customer has defined 3 Oracle JDBC Providers at cell, node and server
scope. Client have following configuration in websphere JDBC provider.
In Cell Scope - C:\jdbc\ojdbc5\ojdbc5.jar
In Node Scope - C:\jdbc\ojdbc6_g\ojdbc6_g.jar
In Server Scope- C:\jdbc\ojdbc6\ojdbc6.jar
In this case value of JDBC driver path in WebSphere variable is identical. Nornally, If JDBC provider configure at server level then server level driver will get load first. But in this case since all three drivers are from same vendor, So we can not control which driver is picking up. In this case
"C:\jdbc\ojdbc6\ojdbc6.jar" should be loaded first but instated, ojdbc5.jar was load first
[13. 4. 5 12:05:15:625 KST] 00000023 CompoundClass < loadClass
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
loader=com.ibm.ws.bootstrap.ExtClassLoader@5dc95dc9
source=file:/C:/jdbc/ojdbc5/ojdbc5.jar Exit
SYMPTOM
Due to multiple JDBC drivers from the same vendor were configured in different scopes, the wrong driver class was loaded.
CAUSE
When multiple versions of the JDBC driver are configured in WebSphere Application Server, irrespective of the scopes, there is a possibility of a collision of the classes and we cannot predict from which version of the driver jar the class got loaded.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
In order to support the existence of multiple versions of the driver jars, the "Isolate this resource provider" configuration helps to ensure there are no conflicts. This needs to be configured on each JDBC Provider. You cannot isolate only one resource provider, all the provider configurations in different scopes will have to be configured with the "Isolate this resource provider" setting. In this scenario, the resource provider classes from different versions of the jars are not imported or accessed to verify if the isolation has indeed worked. In order to use the server-scoped resource provider the datasource using the server-scoped jdbc provider will have to be referenced from the application after isolating the resource providers and using a resource reference in the application.
Go to the JDBC Provider and enable "isolate the resource provider". When "Isolate this resource provider" is enabled, it ensures that only the jar that was specified in the classpath will be used for all the datasources under that particular JDBC provider.
Here are links to Knowledge Center articles which contain further information on the setting:

TRAIN_Q482 | IBM Is there a limit to the number of items that can be listed within an "in" list as part of a where clause? - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Is there a limit to the number of items that can be listed within an "in" list as part of a where clause?
CAUSE
Every time the query optimizer finds a "(NOT) IN" statement in the query, a decision must be made:
Option A: Evaluate the condition sequentially for every member of the IN-list, or
Option B: create a temporal virtual table from this list and use JOIN logic for evaluation.
If the amount of members in the IN-list is smaller than the value of INLIST_THRESHOLD, then option A is used.
If the amount of members in the IN-list is equal or bigger than the value of INLIST_THRESHOLD, then option B is used.
ENVIRONMENT
Any IBM PureData System for Analytics with any NPS Release
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
The short answer is no limit.
By default we create a virtual table for any "in list" with more than 5 values.
The only limitation with large "in list" statements would be the memory needed to compile the query. If the query is too complex, you can potentially run out of memory, but that will not affect other sessions since this happens inside the postgres process assigned to that session. The parameter that is responsible for this behaviour is inlist_threshold and it is safe to increase this value to 100, but not more.

TRAIN_Q483 | IBM Solving IBM MQ Java code version mismatches using the mqjavalist.sh script - United States WebSphere MQ WMQ TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
When Java™ SE applications and Java EE application servers such as WebSphere Application Server do not use a consistent set of MQ Java archives, applications can fail in unpredictable ways. If WebSphere Application Server notices a mismatch, it issues this message: "MQJCA1008 The WebSphere MQ classes for JMS were found in the class path but were not the correct version. This error can occur if the application server finds an earlier version of the WebSphere MQ classes for JMS in the class path. The error can also occur if you do not configure WebSphere Application Server to use the correct version of the WebSphere MQ classes for JMS."
ENVIRONMENT
The mqjavalist.sh script runs on Linux and UNIX systems and can identify Java archives and classes from MQ V5.3 and later versions. Although the mqjavalist.sh script does not run on Windows systems, it is possible to zip up a directory structure on Windows in order to examine it with mqjavalist.sh on a different system. To use the mqjavalist.sh script, download it from the bottom of this page, copy it to the target system, and make the script executable. Make sure that either the unzip command or the Java jar command is available in your PATH before running mqjavalist.sh. For example:
1. Preparing to run mqjavalist.sh
2.
3. sh> chmod +x mqjavalist.sh
sh> PATH=$PATH:/opt/java7/bin
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
IBM MQ ships a number of Java archives (jar files) that applications use to connect to MQ and work with messages. For Java EE environments, MQ provides a Resource Adapter called wmq.jmsra.rar which contains the jar files required by JMS applications. Java SE and Java EE applications must use a consistent set of MQ jar files at the same maintenance level, or else they might experience a wide variety of problems including intermittent errors, performance problems, and other failures.
It is common to find multiple versions of the MQ jar files in the Java CLASSPATH, or invalidly bundled in Java applications (.ear, .war, and .jar files). Finding and eliminating duplicate copies of the MQ jar files can be a difficult task, but the mqjavalist.sh script simplifies that task on Linux and UNIX systems.

WEBSPHERE APPLICATION SERVER
WebSphere Application Server and other IBM products built on WebSphere Application Server normally show the MQ jar files in more than one location. Except as noted below, the copies of the MQ jar files should match the versions listed on this page [https://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21248089]. Any copies of the MQ jar files other than those listed below might represent a problem:

If you created a WebSphere Application Server V7.0 profile before applying fix pack 7.0.0.1 or later, you must update the profile to use the correct MQ Resource Adapter path [https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAW57_7.0.0/com.ibm.websphere.nd.multiplatform.doc/info/ae/ae/tmj_wmqra_restoredefault.html]. Otherwise, the application servers in that profile will use the old MQ Resource Adapter jars under the profile installedConnectors/wmq.jmsra.rar directory rather than the MQ jars in the main installedConnectors/wmq.jmsra.rar directory, which are kept up to date by WebSphere Application Server fix packs.

RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Review the output from mqjavalist.sh to determine where copies of the MQ jar files have been found. Not all duplicates represent a problem, unless they are being loaded by your Java SE application or Java EE application server at runtime. If the com.ibm.mq.commonservices.jar file shows an implementation version of ${version.number} - ${build.level} just ignore it.
In the sample output above, entries #16 through #27 represent the jar files for the installed MQ Resource Adapter. They all show an implementation version of 7.1.0.0 - k000-L111005.1 except for #21, com.ibm.mqjms.jar, which shows an implementation version of 7.0.1.5 - k701-105-110419. Because the jar file versions are not in sync, MQ JMS will not function as expected.
In cases like this, the wmq.jmsra.rar file should contain a copy of the MQ jar at the right level for the application server. Entry #14 in the mqjavalist.sh output shows the com.ibm.mqjms.jar file with an implementation version of 7.1.0.0 - k000-L111005.1, which is what we need. Use the jar program to extract the com.ibm.mqjms.jar file from the wmq.jmsra.rar archive, then copy it over the back-level version of the jar. Use chown and chmod to ensure the permissions on the file are correct.
In other cases, you might find that the classpath for the application server, or for your Java SE application, is picking up extra copies of the MQ jar files. Eliminating unnecessary classpath entries can resolve the problem.
If your Java EE application (.ear or .war) bundles a copy of any MQ jar files, you should remove them and rely on the ones from the installed MQ Resource Adapter instead.

TRAIN_Q488 | IBM DB2 UDB Version 8, v10.5 compliance with FIPS 140-2 standard - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
Is DB2 v8, v10.5 compliant to FIPS 140-2 ?.
ANSWER
Is DB2 v10.5 compliant with FIPS 140-2?
Q: Is DB2 vulnerable to the problem described below?
V-58165 DBMS main in the middle attack [https://www.stigviewer.com/stig/database_security_requirements_guide/2015-06-23/finding/V-58165]
"One class of man-in-the-middle, or session hijacking, attack involves the adversary guessing at valid session identifiers based on patterns in identifiers already known. The preferred technique for thwarting guesses at Session IDs is the generation of unique session identifiers using a FIPS 140-2 approved random number generator. However, it is recognized that available DBMS products do not all implement the preferred technique yet may have other protections against session hijacking. Therefore, other techniques are acceptable, provided they are demonstrated to be effective. "
A: No because DB2 does not use session ids for authentication and thus not vulnerable to the attack described above. DB2 uses encryption modules which are FIPS 140-2 certified.
DB2 v8.x compliancy to FIPS 140-2
DB2 v8.x went out of support in April 2009.
What is ICC?
ICC (IBM Crypto for C) is a set of libraries from Tivoli® for performing encryption. As of DB2® Universal Database™ (DB2 UDB) Version 8 fixpak 7 (equivalent to DB2 UDB Version 8.2), DB2 is using ICC on most platforms.
Customers who need to operate in an environment that is compliant with FIPS 140-2 federal standard should take into account the releases of ICC that are shipped by DB2 on different platforms and the compliance status of those releases with FIPS 140.2.
Following is a list of platforms on which DB2 is using ICC for encryption of data flowing between clients and servers:
DB2 V8 Fixpak 7 through DB2 Fixpak 11:
ICC Version 1.2.2 on platforms:
AIX 32 bit
HP-UX PA-RISC 32 bit
ICC Version 1.2.1 on platforms:
AIX 64 bit
HP-UX PA-RISC 64 bit
HP-UX IA64
Linux x86, Linux x86-64, Linux IA64
Linux for zSeries
Linux for POWER
Windows x86 and IA64
Solaris SPARC 64 bit
ICC Version 1.3.9 on platforms:
Solaris x86-64 (DB2 V8.2 GA)
DB2 V8 Fixpak 12 and later:
ICC Version 1.4.1 on platforms
AIX
HP-UX PA-RISC
Linux x86 and x86-64
Linux for zSeries
Linux for POWER
Windows x86 and x86-64
Solaris SPARC
ICC Version 1.3.9 on platforms
HP-UX IA64
Linux IA64
Windows IA64
Summary of known problems encountered in ICC 1.2.1/1.2.2:
There are a number of issues with DB2 and the ICC encryption libraries at levels prior to 1.3.9. The known problems are:
1. Severe performance problems where processes seem to hang, or take several minutes to run.
2. A bug in ICC code causes it to communicate with the OpenSSL EGD (Entropy Gathering Daemon) which under certain circumstances could hang
3. ICC symbols have not been namespaced and DB2 can end up with symbol collisions with OpenSSL code. This can also happen when multiple versions of ICC are used within the same process.
DB2 Version 8 Fixpak 12 and later incorporates IBM Crypto for C (ICC) version 1.3.9 or 1.4.1 cryptographic module which fixes these problems.
Note: The latest status of ICC conformance with FIPS 140-2 standard can be obtained by referring to http://www.ibm.com/security/standards/st_evaluations.shtml [http://www.ibm.com/security/standards/st_evaluations.shtml]

TRAIN_Q489 | IBM JRules or ODM module fails to access database with StaleConnectionException - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
JRules and ODM modules such as Rule Execution Server (RES) and Rule Team Server (RTS) / Decision Center (DC) may fail to access their data source with the following type of exception present in the log:
com.ibm.websphere.ce.cm.StaleConnectionException: Io exception: Connection timed out
SYMPTOM
The problem may occur when a JRules or ODM module accesses its data source after a period of database access inactivity. For example:
* The first user accessing a RTS / DC server that remained idle overnight experiences a failure upon logging and the server log shows an com.ibm.websphere.ce.cm.StaleConnectionException occurred at that time.
* After a RES server has been processing execution requests normally for some time, an attempt to deploy a ruleset update fails and the server log shows an com.ibm.websphere.ce.cm.StaleConnectionException occurred upon an attempt to invalidate a ruleset or to retrieve its definition.
CAUSE
The underlying network connection for a data source is no longer valid although the data source itself remains considered active from the WebSphere Application Server data source connection pool management perspective. An attempt by a JRules module to try and access its data base through one such data source connection provided by the Application Server may then fail.
The network connection of a data source may become invalid for a number of reasons, one typical example is that a firewall between the Application Server and the Database has a policy to discard network connections that remain idle for some time.
ENVIRONMENT
The exception com.ibm.websphere.ce.cm.StaleConnectionException is specific to WebSphere Application Server environments. But a similar issue can be experienced with Weblogic, see: Rule Execution Server on WebLogic unable to load ruleset after period of inactivity [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21615801]
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Configure the WebSphere Application Server data source connection pool [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v7r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.nd.multiplatform.doc/info/ae/ae/udat_conpoolset.html] so as to eliminate occurrences of StaleConnectionException :
* Set the Minimum connections to 0 to avoid situations where a connection is kept in the pool to meet the minimum requirement, even though it may have been idle for longer than Unused timeout
* Set the values for Unused timeout and Reap timeout so that the sum does not exceed any network level idle connection timeout

TRAIN_Q490 | IBM How Connect TDWC 9.3 to TWS Engine lower level release - United States dwc 93; connect; SSL ; TLS TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
DWC 9.3 users cannot connect to TWS Engine lower level releases (8.5.1 until 9.2)
SYMPTOM
Unable to connect to TWS 8.5.1 ,8.6 or 9.1/9.2 from DWC 9.3.
Check the WAS SystemOut.log for error :
SSL0080E: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException - The client and server could not negotiate the desired level of security. Reason: Server chose SSLv3,
but that protocol version is not enabled or not supported by the client. javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Server chose SSLv3, but that protocol version is not enabled or not supported by the client.
CAUSE
DWC 9.3 is packaged with WAS 8.5.5.4 and due to known vulnerabilities has SSLV3 disabled. However TWS 9.2 and earlier versions use SSLv3 by default and so the DWC 9.3 cannot connect
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
You can solve this problem by configuring your TWS engines to use TLS instead of SSL :
Backup and edit :
TWA_HOME/WAS/TWSProfile/config/cells/TWSNodeCell/security.xml
Find sslProtocol and change "SSL_TLS" to "TLS"
Find ssl.protocol and change value="SSL" to value="TLS"
Backup and edit :
TWA_HOME/WAS/TWSProfile/properties/ssl.client.props
Find com.ibm.ssl.protocol=SSL and change to com.ibm.ssl.protocol=TLS
Backup and edit :
TWA_HOME/WAS/TWSProfile/temp/ssl.client.props
Find com.ibm.ssl.protocol=SSL and change to com.ibm.ssl.protocol=TLS
Stop and restart WAS.
*Be aware that your Engines are now using TLS and so you must also reconfigure any DWC 9.2 or 9.1 installations that need to connect to those engines. You would change them to use TLS in the same way as above but also by the same changes in these copies of security.xml and ssl.client.props :
TWA_HOME/JazzSM/profile/config/cells/JazzSMNode01Cell/security.xml
TWA_HOME/JazzSM/profile/properties/ssl.client.props
TWA_HOME/JazzSM/profile/temp/ssl.client.props
Please consider that since you configure with TLS the WAS of TWS Engine also the Dynamic Agent can be impacted.
See technote 1689332. | TWS / DWC and WebSphere 8.5.5.4+ WebSphere for TWS & DWC were upgraded to 8.5.5.4 on most servers in a particular environment. However, any TWS servers that still had 8.5.5.2, could no longer be seen by the new DWC / WAS 8.5.5.4 servers. Those lower WAS version engines could not be added to the DWC.
Errors seen are:
AWSUI0833E The operation could not be completed. There has been a communication failure.
The internal message is: AWSJCO005E WebSphere Application Server has given the following error: Error getting WsnNameService properties. | You can solve this problem by configuring your TWS engines to use TLS instead of SSL : |

Overview
You will find common questions in this section that may help resolve your logging problems.
1. How do I use JCL with WebSphere® Application Server?
For information on how to use JCL, see The Support Authority: Using Jakarta Commons Logging (JCL) with WebSphere Application Server [https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/techjournal/0901_supauth/0901_supauth.html]
2. What are IBM recommendations regarding SLF4J and Logback?
In general, we recommend that customers use JUL when possible/practical (as mentioned in The Support Authority: A developer's guide to WebSphere Application Server logging [http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/techjournal/0802_supauth/0802_supauth.html]). JUL provides a good, ubiquitous logging infrastructure, which is suitable for most applications, and integrates with WebSphere Application Server log and trace. Using JUL directly also avoids extra log/trace API "hops" that are introduced by using other log/trace frameworks that map to JUL. The WAS logs are generated using JUL Handlers connected to the root JUL Logger.
In case you don't want to use JUL, or you have code that is already instrumented with another logging package, SLF4J or Logback can be helpful. For example, you may have code already written with Log4J. Log4J log/trace is not routed to WAS log/trace files, and Log4J loggers don't show up in the WAS tree of loggers you can control from the admin console. Further, trace spec settings you make in WAS do not control Log4J logger settings. This is where SLF4J or Logback can come in handy, as you can use them to intercept Log4J calls and forward them to the logging implementation of your choice. In order to integrate well with WAS logs/trace, we would recommend you bind your SLF4J/Logback API to map your log/trace content to JUL -- this will give you the ability to see your logs/trace in the WAS log/trace files, and enable you to have easy admin console control over all of your loggers.
3. How can I get WAS logs to go to syslog or the Windows EventLog?
There are a number of places that users have asked to be able to direct logs to in the past. Most notably, a number of customers have asked for the ability to send logs to syslog.
WebSphere Application Server sends all of its logs to java.util.logging (JUL), and customers can customize what happens to the log/trace events by way of using JUL Handlers. Once content is sent to JUL, it can be handled in a variety of flexible ways:
1) By default, we store the content in our log files, such as SystemOut.log, trace.log, or the newer log and trace repositories of the High Performance Extensible Logging framework we added in WebSphere Application Server V8.0. We also send the log content over JMX notifications, which allows for remote access.
2) If customers want to send content to places like SMTP, syslog, event log, or a few other places, they can use SLF4J to route WAS logs to Log4J, and use the corresponding Log4J Appenders. In this configuration, WAS logging routes to java.util.logging, SLF4J's Handler routes the request to Log4J, and Log4J can be configured to write log records to a syslog Appender.
3) If users want to do something even more custom, they can write their own JUL Handlers and plug them into WebSphere Application Server.
4. I am unable to turn on WebSphere Application Server trace. The trace state sets to *=off?
The systemOut.log shows:
[5/26/15 14:10:44:746 EDT] 000000d9 ManagerAdmin I TRAS0018I: The trace state has changed. The new trace state is *=off.
The problem is related to the below two JVM arguments:
-Djava.util.logging.configureByLoggingPropertiesFile=TRUE
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=<path>/logging.properties
Verify if the above 2 JVM arguments are configured. If yes, temporary disable it so WAS trace can be enabled.
5. The WebSphere Application Server logging has stopped, what may have caused this?
The user might have disabled the trace by setting trace output to none.
Setting runtime trace output to none impacts the JVM logs. To do that, the runtime trace spec will be set to *=off, which means to turn off all log levels. If customers just want to disable the trace for debug information only, we recommend setting the runtime trace spec, accordingly, instead of setting runtime trace output to none. For example, set to *=info, which is the default.
Verify if the commons-logging.jar and commons-logging.properties exist in the JVM classpath. If yes, suggest to remove it and put them inside the application (with parent_last setting) or put them in the isolated shared library.
6. How can I separate my logs into separate files for each application?
In WAS V8.5, we added the application name to log and trace records stored using HPEL (High Performance Extensible Logging). Since HPEL lets you format and filter your log content after it has been persisted to the HPEL log/trace repository, this lets you decide if you want to see your application content on its own (helpful for uncluttered debug of an application), or together with the application server log/trace content (helpful to see impact of server on applications, and vice versa).
For example, if you had 3 applications called app1, app2, and app3, you could create app specific logs as follows: WAS_INSTALL_ROOT\bin> logViewer -includeExtensions appName=app1 > app1.log
WAS_INSTALL_ROOT\bin> logViewer -includeExtensions appName=app2 > app2.log
WAS_INSTALL_ROOT\bin> logViewer -includeExtensions appName=app3 > app3.log
or see everything in one file as follows:
WAS_INSTALL_ROOT\bin> logViewer > all.log
7. How can I add my own java.util.logging.Handler to WAS?
To create a Handler you need to extend the java.util.logging.Handler class as follows (this example also shows how to filter for only the most severe messages):
import java.util.logging.Handler;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.LogRecord;
public class MyHandler extends Handler {
public void close() {
}
public void flush() {
}
public void publish(LogRecord record) {
if (record.getLevel().intValue() >= Level.SEVERE.intValue()) {
// do something...
}
}
}
In your application you can add that Handler to the root logger as follows:
import java.util.logging.Handler;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
...
Handler myHandler = new MyHandler();
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("");
logger.addHandler(myHandler);
...
8. Why can't I set my own log levels using the Logger setLevel method?
The application server can run in two modes.
By default, the logger levels are managed, and we expect any changes to logger levels to be done only through wsadmin or through the admin console. When the trace spec update is applied, we explicitly set each logger to the level specified in the trace spec -- we do not leave any named loggers at level set to null. So, while you can change a logger's level using the setLevel method, that change only lasts until you apply your next trace spec update from wsadmin or the admin console. Basically, changes you make via logger.setLevel are temporary at best, and do not apply automatically to children since the children won't have a null level.
Alternately, you can have the server to be configured by the JRE's logging.properties file by setting the java.util.logging.configureByLoggingPropertiesFile property. In this mode, the application server will not touch the logger levels -- you cannot update the levels through the admin console, nor through wsadmin. See Java virtual machine custom properties [http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/wsbroker/redirect?version=matt&product=was-base-dist&topic=xrun_jvm] for more information on this setting. In this mode, you can specify anything you would normally specify in your logging.properties file. Be careful not to use a console handler though, as that will lead to an infinite loop, since we take data sent to System.out, turn it into LogRecords, and send it to the root logger.
9. How can I get java.util.logging to initialize from a jre/bin/logging.properties file in the application server?
You can do this via system property: java.util.logging.configureByLoggingPropertiesFile=true
Note that if you do set up your server in this mode, we will not manage your logger levels via the admin console.
Note also that we will ignore any console handler entries found in the logging.properties file, since we route System.out to the root logger, which would mean that a console handler would cause an infinite recursion.
If you do use this system property, and you want to change logger levels, you have two choices:
*
* 2) Set the Logger levels programatically using the Logger.setLevel method
10. How can I get the full logger name from log and trace records?
The full logger name can be handy to know for enabling trace. How you get to it depends on what log and trace mode you use:
Basic log and trace mode:
The basic log format (not to be confused with basic log and trace mode), which is the default format for SystemOut.log / SystemErr.log / trace.log has a truncated version of the logger name:
[4/14/11 9:41:45:218 EDT] 00000021 QuickLogTest W hello fine 54857
There is no way to get the full logger name from basic formatted logs. You need to switch to advanced format for your logs/trace if you want to see the full logger name. Once in advanced format, log contents appear as follows:
[4/14/11 9:41:45:218 EDT] 00000021 W UOW= source=com.ibm.somelogger.QuickLogTest org= prod= component= thread=[WebContainer : 4]
hello fine 54857
HPEL log and trace mode:
You can use the HPEL LogViewer command line tool to output the log/trace content in either basic or advanced format.
> logviewer -format basic
....
[4/14/11 9:41:45:218 EDT] 00000021 QuickLogTest W hello fine 54857
....
> logviewer -format advanced
....
[4/14/11 9:41:45:218 EDT] 00000021 W UOW= source=com.ibm.somelogger.QuickLogTest org= prod= component= thread=[WebContainer : 4]
hello fine 54857
...
11. How can I write HPEL content to a database?
If you want to write to a Database, any of the following options will work:
1) Write your own log handler (that writes to a database) and plug it into JSR47. (see the Java doc for java.util.logging.Handler)
2) Write an HPEL reading Java application to read the content from an HPEL log repository and write it to a database
3) Write an HPEL reading Java application to read the content from an HPEL log repository and write it out in .csv format, then just use the common database commands to load the .csv content into the database.
12. How do you tune HPEL for optimal performance in tWAS?
In the server.xml, jvmEntries element:
- Ensure debugMode is set to false
- Ensure RAS JMX notifications are disabled by including -Dcom.ibm.ejs.ras.disablerasnotifications=true in genericJvmArguments
- Ensure -Xquickstart is not in the list of genericJvmArguments
<jvmEntries xmi:id="JavaVirtualMachine_1183122130078" verboseModeClass="false" verboseModeGarbageCollection="false" verboseModeJNI="false" runHProf="false" hprofArguments="" debugMode="false" debugArgs="-Dcom.ibm.ws.classloader.j9enabled=true -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=7777" genericJvmArguments="-Dcom.ibm.ejs.ras.disablerasnotifications=true">
In hpelModel.xml:
- Ensure textLog is disabled.
<hpelTextLog xmi:id="HPELTextLog_1" enabled="false" dataDirectory="${SERVER_LOG_ROOT}"/>
13. How can I tell who is writing to System.err / System.out ?
Add the following to your genericJvmArgument s :
-Xtrace:print=mt,trigger=method{com/ibm/ejs/ras/System*.*,jstacktrace}
14. How can I identify what code is writing to System.out.println?
Add the following to your genericJvmArguments and restart the server to see a stack trace for each call to System.out.println:
-Xtrace:print=mt,trigger=method{java/io/PrintStream.println,jstacktrace}
A snippet of the stack trace for a sample application, which calls System.out.println(), with the above JVM argument set, which identifies that the Hello.printHello (Hello.java:15) writes to System.out.
03:41:01.245*0x3277900 mt.0 > java/io/PrintStream.println(Ljava/lang/String;)V Bytecode method, This = 7fffff49f98
03:41:01.247 0x3277900 j9trc_aux.0 - jstacktrace:
03:41:01.248 0x3277900 j9trc_aux.1 - [1] java.io.PrintStream.println (PrintStream.java:829)
03:41:01.248 0x3277900 j9trc_aux.1 - [2] com.ibm.jvm.io.ConsolePrintStream.println (ConsolePrintStream.java:311)
03:41:01.250 0x3277900 j9trc_aux.1 - [3] Hello.printHello (Hello.java:15)
03:41:01.251 0x3277900 j9trc_aux.1 - [4] Hello.main (Hello.java:9)Hello World
03:41:01.253 0x3277900 mt.6 < java/io/PrintStream.println(Ljava/lang/String;)V Bytecode method
15. How can I see who called a particular method?
Add the following to your genericJvmArguments:
-Xtrace:print=mt,trigger=method{java/util/logging/Logger.setLevel,jstacktrace}
16. What are the .owner files for in the log directory?
The server creates a .owner file for each of the log files. The file content indicates which cell/node/server is the rightful user of the similarly named log file. This is used as a sort of locking mechanism to make sure that users don't improperly configure their systems. If two or more servers are configured to use the same log directory and file name, we can detect it using the .owner file and we will print a warning in the log file.
For more information, see Java virtual machine (JVM) log settings [http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/wsbroker/redirect?version=phil&product=was-nd-dist&topic=JVMLogs_description]
17. How can I correlate information from thread stacks in the javacore with information in my SystemOut.log file?
There are a few ways to correlate content in WAS logs/trace with content in javacore thread dumps:
Best option, if you are using WebSphere Application Server 8.0 / 8.5:
Applies to:
WAS 8.0.0.4 and above running with Java 626 SR4 and above
WAS 8.5.0.2 and above running with Java 7 SR3 and above or Java 626 SR4 and above
In recent releases, we have made it possible to have the thread id used in the WebSphere Application Server log/trace match with the thread id used in javacores. In WAS 8.0.0.4 and above, you can use a system property to make the thread id in the logs/trace match the Java thread id. In WAS 8.5.0.2 and above, the thread id used in the logs/trace matches with the Java thread id by default. For more information, see PM60913: Introduce ability to use Java Thread ID in Logs instead of LogRecord Thread ID [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PM60913] and JVM log interpretation [http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/wsbroker/redirect?version=phil&product=was-nd-dist&topic=rtrb_readmsglogs]
Another option if you are using High Performance Extensible Logging (HPEL) / Binary Logging:
Applies to:
Full profile WAS 8.0.0.0 and above
Liberty profile WAS 8.5.5.0 and above
Full Profile:
Use the HPEL logViewer command to output the logs in advanced format so you can see the full thread name:
> logViewer -format advanced (basic is the default format)
Liberty Profile:
Use the binaryLog command line tool to output the logs in advanced format so you can see the full thread name:
> binaryLog view --format=advanced
You will get output that looks like the following:
[4/14/11 9:41:45:218 EDT] 00000021 W UOW= source=com.ibm.somelogger.QuickLogTest org= prod= component= thread=[WebContainer : 4]
The javacore contains the same thread name:
3XMTHREADINFO "WebContainer : 4" J9VMThread:0x1578D700, j9thread_t:0x150D0D04, java/lang/Thread:0x02517CE0, state:R, prio=5
3XMTHREADINFO1 (native thread ID:0x15B0, native priority:0x5, native policy:UNKNOWN)
3XMTHREADINFO3 Java callstack:
4XESTACKTRACE at com/ibm/io/async/AsyncLibrary.aio_getioev2(Native Method)
Another option if you are using Advanced format for your SystemOut.log / trace.log:
Applies to:
All currently supported WebSphere Application Server releases.
Change your log/trace format to Advanced. The Advanced format contains the full thread name, as does the javacore.
Advanced format Log:
[4/14/11 9:41:45:218 EDT] 00000021 W UOW= source=com.ibm.somelogger.QuickLogTest org= prod= component= thread=[WebContainer : 4]
The javacore contains the same thread name:
3XMTHREADINFO "WebContainer : 4" J9VMThread:0x1578D700, j9thread_t:0x150D0D04, java/lang/Thread:0x02517CE0, state:R, prio=5
3XMTHREADINFO1 (native thread ID:0x15B0, native priority:0x5, native policy:UNKNOWN)
3XMTHREADINFO3 Java callstack:
4XESTACKTRACE at com/ibm/io/async/AsyncLibrary.aio_getioev2(Native Method)

TRAIN_Q496 | IBM SSLKeyException: RSA premaster secret error Caused by InvalidKeyException - United States JDBC JCC SSL SSLKeyException .InvalidKeyException TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
My java application using the Data Server Driver for JDBC (JCC) is failing to establish SSL connection with following error:
SSLKeyException: RSA premaster secret error. Caused by: java.security.InvalidKeyException: Illegal key size or default parameters.
SYMPTOM
javax.net.ssl.SSLKeyException: RSA premaster secret error. Caused by: java.security.InvalidKeyException: Illegal key size or default parameters
CAUSE
The default restricted policy file has a 2048 key size limit. If the RSA key size exceeds this limit then this error is expected.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
This issue can be resolved by upgrading to the unrestricted policy files, replacing the security policy files with the IBM unlimited cryptography files. Replace the local_policy.jar with the Unrestricted JCE policy File.

TRAIN_Q497 | IBM Enabling tracing for the DASH service in Jazz for Service Management - United States DASHL2; DASHL2FAQ; DASHL2MUSTG; enable tracing TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
What is the procedure to enable trace logging to troubleshoot DASH runtime issues/errors?
CAUSE
You can use trace logging to assist in monitoring system performance and diagnosing problems. Since trace logs can be quite verbose and include many unrelated errors, resetting the logs and then reproducing the problem issue can reduce the time required for log analysis for specific issues.
ANSWER
Steps to enable tracing:
Enable trace logging.
1. Log into the DASH. After logging in navigate to Console Settings [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21632844&aid=1] > Websphere Administrative Console.
2. Navigate to Troubleshooting -> Logs & Trace
3. Click on the Server1 -> Select Diagnostic Trace Service. Increase the Maximum Number of Historical Files from 1 to 10.
4. Click Apply, then select Change Log Detail Levels.
5. Click on Runtime tab to enable tracing for the DASH process that is currently running. Enabling tracing from the Runtime tab will keep tracing active until the next time the DASH server process is stopped. To make tracing persistent even after stopping and restarting the DASH server process click the Configuration tab instead.
6. Clear the trace string in the Groups box and replace it with the following:
*=info: com.ibm.isc.*=all: com.ibm.isclite.*=all: com.ibm.iscportal.*=all: com.ibm.isclite.service.datastore.consoleproperties.*=INFO
For the Connection manager (data provider related issues) you will want to enable all for the following components:
*=info: com.ibm.isclite.rest.*=all:com.ibm.tivoli.conmgr.*=all
7. Click on the Apply button.
8. If you enabled tracing from the Configuration tab in step 4, then click the "Save" link that appears at the top of the page. ("Save to master configuration")
Once tracing is enabled, reproduce the DASH runtime issue. Note the time that the issue was reproduced so that the issue can be easily correlated with the trace log entries.
Run the log collector program:
1. Change the directory to <JazzSM Home>/ui/bin
2. Run the following command:
./consoleLogCollector.sh or .bat
Send us the console_logs.zip file located in <JazzSM Home>/ui directory
and attach them to the associated Problem Management Record (PMR). Please include the time the issue was reproduced in the PMR update. Please also provide the DASH version info:

QUESTION
Setup a recurring process to remove world-writable from the files and directories: chmod o-w. We are not planning to delete any files. Would this impact functionality ?
ANSWER
The question is whether or not it is safe to remove world-writable for these files and directories. Some of them are dynamic and will be re-created with world-writable after reboot. For these we would like to remove world-writable on a recurring basis.

TRAIN_Q504 | IBM MTTrapd [SNMP] probe drops traps from specific devices - United States nco_p_mttrapd; snmp; snmp traps; traps; dropped; drop; dropping; malformed; TCP TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
MMTrapd probe : Why are SNMP traps dropped from specific devices?
CAUSE
SNMP packets can be dropped for a number of reasons, including overloading, malformed packets, malformed traps/informs and incorrectly configured/non-compliant MIBS.
ANSWER
Traps can be dropped during high loading, so ensure that the traps are being dropped from specific devices under normal load.
Use snoop, tcpdump or Wireshark to capture the traps that are being dropped on the probe servers port, as defined in the property file.
e.g.
Port : 162
Load the PCAP file into the Wireshark GUI and review the trap[s] visually.
For traps to be processed they must have enterprise-oid and uptime, otherwise they will be dropped during probe processing by the NET-SNMP libraries.
Try setting Protocol to 'ALL' in case the trap is being sent as TCP|UDP.
For SNMPv3 trap and inform processing please refer to the available online FAQ's and supplementary documentation [see related information].
SNMPv3 traps require a unique creatruser entry for each device in the mttrapd.conf file, with the user definition including the devices unique engined-id. Whilst SNMPv3 INFORMs can be sent without an engine-id and a single createuser entry in the ConfPath's mttrapd.conf file.
If the trap appears to be RFC compliant, and MTTrapd probe is correctly configured, please send the PCAP file of the trap along with the probes debug log and property file to IBM Tivoli Netcool support for further analysis.
IMPORTANT: You should ensure that the latest MTTrapd probe and Netcool/OMNIbus fix pack is installed before contacting IBM Tivoli Netcool support, and that the problem persists with the latest product.

TRAIN_Q507 | IBM Setting a big session time-out value in DASH causes session lock-out - United States DASHL2; session; time-out; timeout; cannot login; locked out ; 2147483647; security.xml TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Using a big value (2147483647) for the session timeout setting in DASH, to achieve the maximum time between timeouts, is causing users to be locked out completely.
SYMPTOM
After entering the user ID and password in the login page, and then pressing the "continue" button,
the login page does not change, stuck at "processing" and then returns to the login page again."
All users get essentially locked out completely from DASH sessions.
CAUSE
In order to maximize the time between session timeouts, the customer is setting the timeout parameter in the security.xml file to 2147483647.
This timeout parameter used in the security.xml file is a WAS setting, but DASH is using a javascript call (settimeout), which causes a condition that prevents a login, if the timeout value is really big.
Note: 2147483647 is the maximum positive value for a 32-bit signed binary integer in computing.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
This condition that prevents logins can be averted by setting the custom property LTPAFIX in the consoleProperties.xml to "false".
Please follow this steps:
1. On DASH server, navigate to <JazzSM Home>/profile/config/cells/JazzSMNode01Cell/applications/isc.ear/deployments/isc/isclite.war/WEB-INF
2. Take a backup of consoleProperties.xml
3. Open consoleProperties.xml in edit-mode.
4. Search for "LTPAFIX" and change the value from "true" to "false".
Example:
Before
=====
<consoleproperties:console-property id="LTPAFIX" value="true"/>
</consoleproperties:ibm-portal-consoleproperties>
After
====
<consoleproperties:console-property id="LTPAFIX" value="false"/>
</consoleproperties:ibm-portal-consoleproperties>
5. Save the file.
6. Restart DASH server. | Why are the users unable to login to Web GUI 8.1 after I modify timeout to 2147483647 in security.xml file ?
I followed the Web GUI 8.1 reference guide here to switching off the session timeout

TRAIN_Q514 | IBM Recommended values for web server plug-in config - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
In the web server plug-in, what do the LoadBalanceWeight, MaxConnections, ConnectTimeout, ServerIOTimeout, RetryInterval, IgnoreAffinityRequests, and GetDWLMTable options mean and what are the recommended settings for these options?
What affect does Session Affinity have?
How are connections handled during plug-in fail-over?
What is the effect of using more than one web server child process?
ANSWER
To understand how load balancing works in the web server plug-in, see Understanding IBM HTTP Server plug-in Load Balancing in a clustered environment [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21219567].
To understand how fail-over works in the web server plug-in, see Understanding HTTP plug-in failover in a clustered environment [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21219808].
LoadBalanceWeight is a starting "weight". The value is dynamically changed by the plug-in during runtime. The "weight" of a server (or clone) is lowered each time a request is assigned to that clone. When all weights for all servers drop to 0 or below, the plug-in has to readjust all of the weights so that they are above 0. Using a starting value of only 2 (default), means that the weights will get to 0 very quickly and the plug-in will constantly be readjusting the weights. Therefore, It is recommended to start with a higher LoadBalanceWeight. The IBM WebSphere Application Server administrative console will allow a value up to 20 for this. However, it is certainly possible to manually edit the plugin-cfg.xml file and specify some other value for LoadBalanceWeight that is higher than 20.
Note: At runtime, the LoadBalanceWeight of each appserver in a cluster are normalized by their highest common factor. For example, 100, 90, 80 have a common factor of 10. So, these configured weights would be divided by 10 at runtime, resulting in actual starting weights of only 10, 9, 8. Setting all clones to the same starting LoadBalanceWeight (for example: 20, 20, 20) will result in an actual starting weight of only 1 for each, because of normalization. So, it is recommended to set the weight of at least one of the clones to be off by a value of 1. For example, if there are 3 clones, you might choose the starting LoadBalanceWeights to be: 20, 20, 19. After normalization the weights will be unchanged.
Recommended values = all clones the same, except one clone off by one (for example: 20, 20, 19)
MaxConnections is used to gauge when a server is "starting to become overwhelmed". It is not used to determine when to fail-over (mark the server "down"). When a request is sent from the plug-in to the WAS appserver, it is called a "PendingRequest", until the response comes back. If the application running in WebSphere Application Server is handling requests quickly, each request will only be PENDING for a very short time. So, under ideal conditions, MaxConnections is not needed and therefore the default is (-1) meaning unlimited. However, sometimes an application may start to become overwhelmed and the application may not be able to handle the requests as quickly. Consequently Pending Requests start to build up. MaxConnections can be used to put a limit on the number of PENDING requests per server. When the MaxConnections limit is reached, the plug-in will stop sending requests to that appserver, but it is not marked down. The optimal value for MaxConnections will depend on how quickly the application and appserver respond to each request. If normal responses are returned in less than one second, it may be appropriate to set a low value for MaxConnections, like 20 or so. However, if it normally takes several seconds to get a response from the application, then it would be prudent to use a higher value for MaxConnections, like 100. Please note that if the MaxConnections limit has been reached the plug-in will not send ANY more requests to that server until responses come back for the current PENDING requests, and the pendingRequests count drops back down below the MaxConnections limit.
Recommended value = 20 - 100 depending on application response times
*Best Practices: with MaxConnections="-1" use LogLevel="Stats" to monitor the pendingRequests numbers in the plug-in log, under normal conditions. Then, choose a value for MaxConnections that is significantly higher than the highest number shown in the log. This method will help you to determine a MaxConnections value that is right for your specific environment.
ConnectTimeout means "how long should the plug-in wait when trying to open a socket to the Application Server"? If there are streams already open and available to the Application Server, the plug-in will use one of those. However, sometimes the plug-in needs to open a new stream to the Application Server. That should not take very long, so the value for ConnectTimeout should be very small. A ConnectTimeout value of 0 means never time-out. In that case, the time-out is left up to the OS TCP layer, which is NOT ideal. It is much better to specify a small positive number (like 5 seconds).
Recommended value = 5
ServerIOTimeout means "how long should the plug-in wait for a response from the application". After the socket is opened, the plug-in sends the request to the Application Server. The application processes the request and a response is sent back to the client, through the plug-in. How long should that take? What is reasonable, based on the application? There is no single correct answer here. It depends on the application. If the application is very quick to respond, then you can use a lower value for ServerIOTimeout. However, if the application requires more time to process the request (maybe to retrieve data from a database), then you should use a higher number for ServerIOTimeout. Using a value of 0 means that the plug-in will NOT time-out the request. This is often NOT ideal. A positive value means that the plug-in will NOT mark the appserver down after a ServerIOTimeout pops. So, if you want the plug-in to continue sending requests to the timed-out appserver, use a positive value. On the other hand, a negative value means that the plug-in WILL mark the appserver down after a ServerIOTimeout pops. So, if you want the plug-in to immediately mark the appserver down and fail-over to another appserver in the same cluster, use a negative value.
Recommended value = -900 (that is negative 900)
Note: The ability to use a negative ServerIOTimeout value was introduced in plug-in apar PK72097 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PK72097].
*Best Practices: use traces to determine the amount of time it takes for your application to respond to requests under normal conditions. Be sure to include the longest running requests that take the most time to respond. Then choose a value for ServerIOTimeout that is much larger (2X or 3X or more) than the longest response time. This method will ensure that your ServerIOTimeout is high enough to allow adequate time for the application to respond normally. Make it a negative value so that if the ServerIOTimeout pops, the plug-in will immediately mark the server down, and retry the request to a different appserver.
ServerIOTimeoutRetry can be used to decrease the number of retries after ServerIOTimeout has fired. By default, the Plug-in will try a request equal to the number of members in the cluster. For example, if the cluster has four members, and there is a ServerIOTimeout, the Plug-in will try it a second time. If the retry fails with ServerIOTimeout fired, then it will try a third time, and a fourth time if needed. But after four attempts, the Plug-in will give up and stop retrying. If you want to override this default behavior and reduce the number of retries after ServerIOTimeout, you can set ServerIOTimeoutRetry to a value that is less than the number of members in the cluster.
Recommended value = -1 (this is the default)
Note: This property was introduced by Plug-in apar PM70559 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PM70559].
RetryInterval is the time that the plug-in will wait before trying again to use an appserver that was marked down. The optimal value for RetryInterval depends on the number of appservers in the cluster, and the value used for ServerIOTimeout. You can use the following formula to determine the maximum RetryInterval value for your plug-in config:
(number of appservers in cluster - 1) x (absolute ServerIOTimeout) - 1
For example, if there are two appservers in the cluster, and the value of ServerIOTimeout is -900, then the maximum RetryInterval setting would be:
(2 - 1) x (900) - 1 = 899 seconds or less
Another example, if there are four appservers in the cluster, and the value of ServerIOTimeout is -900, then the maximum RetryInterval setting would be:
(4 - 1) x (900) -1 = 2699 seconds or less
Warning: Setting RetryInterval to a value higher than the recommended maximum, based on the formula above, can lead to an undesirable situation where all of the appservers in the cluster may be marked down simultaneously resulting in all requests temporarily failing.
Recommended value = 60 (this is the default)
Affinity requests are requests that contain a session cookie (ie. JSESSIONID). The session cookie is set by the Session Manager in WAS to ensure that all subsequent requests from the same client return to the same app server in the cluster. The session cookie contains the clone ID (or partition ID) of that specific app server. The web server Plug-in will look for the session cookie and use the clone ID to send the request to that specific WAS app server. An affinity request is not load balanced.
In the plug-in config there is a property called IgnoreAffinityRequests. This property determines if affinity requests will affect the load balance weights, or not. The default value for IgnoreAffinityRequests is True, which means that affinity requests will not have any affect on the load balance weights. This is best for environments where there are no, or few, affinity requests. On the other hand, for an environment with a lot of affinity requests, it may be better to set IgnoreAffinityRequests to False so that the load balance weights will accurately reflect the effect of having a lot of affinity requests.
Fail-over occurs when the plug-in marks a cluster member appserver (or clone) as "down", and then sends the pending requests to other members of the same cluster. This can happen if the plug-in is unable to open a new connection to the appserver within the ConnectTimeout. Or fail-over can happen if the plug-in has already sent the request to the appserver, but does not receive a response from the application within ServerIOTimeout. When the plug-in marks a cluster member appserver "down", it will handle the PENDING requests in one of two ways: Prior to plug-in apar PM12112 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PM12112], the plug-in would send all of the pending requests to the very next appserver in the cluster. However, after plug-in apar PM12112 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PM12112], the plug-in will randomly send the pending requests to any of the available appservers in the cluster. While the appserver is marked "down" the plug-in will no longer send any requests to it. After RetryInterval the plug-in will check to see if that appserver can be used successfully again. If so, the "down" flag will be removed and the appserver will be used again.
Note: By default, the number of attempts to handle a request is limited by the number of appservers in the cluster. For example, if there are only two appservers in the cluster, and the request fails once, the plug-in will only attempt that request one more time (total of two attempts). Or another example, if there are five appservers in the same cluster, and the request fails once, then the plug-in will attempt to retry that same request up to four more times (total of five attempts). That number includes retries sent to the same appserver (session affinity), or attempts sent to different appservers (fail-over).
Update: The plug-in apar PM70559 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PM70559] introduced a new setting called "ServerIOTimeoutRetry" that can be used to control the number of retries due to ServerIOTimeout.
If Memory-to-Memory (M2M) session replication is enabled in WebSphere Application Server, then the GetDWLMTable setting in the plug-in config must be changed to "true". Memory-to-Memory replication uses partition IDs rather than clone IDs. This can lead to broken session affinity if GetDWLMTable is set to false (which is the default). So it is very important to set GetDWLMTable="true" whenever using M2M in WebSphere Application Server.
Recommendation = GetDWLMTable="true" whenever M2M is used in WebSphere Application Server.
Each web server child process loads a separate instance of the web server plug-in. And multiple running instances of the web server plug-in do not share information with each other. For example if the IBM HTTP Server web server is configured to start 3 child processes (StartServers 3), then there will be 3 instances of the web server plug-in running (one for each IBM HTTP Server child process). The dynamically changing LoadBalanceWeight of each cluster member is not shared between the plug-in instances. So, in one instance of the plug-in "member1" might be considered UP with a weight of 5, when in another instance of the plug-in "member1" might be considered DOWN and unusable. This can result in possibly different behaviors depending on which child process / plug-in instance handles each incoming request. For this reason it is recommended that you should configure the web server to use only a few web server child processes with many threads on each. See Tuning IBM HTTP Server to maximize the number of client connections to WebSphere Application Server [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21167658].
If you choose to use more than one web server child process, keep in mind that the plug-in settings are handled on a per instance basis. For example, MaxConnections means the number of pending requests that will be allowed on that server, for each plug-in instance. If MaxConnections = 20, and there are 3 web server child processes (3 plug-in instances), then each instance will allow 20 pending connections to that Application Server for a total of 60 pending connections.

TRAIN_Q515 | IBM Performance issue on Mac OS X Launching and Closing SPSS Statistics 21 or 22. - United States Mac OS X; Performance; open; close; exit; launch; 10.6.x 10.7.x 10.8.x 10.9.x TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
With SPSS Statistics 21 or 22 software installed on Mac OS X.
The software was running normally, but for what ever reason, the program might fail or close improperly by using Force Quit several times.
CAUSE
This has been identified as a product defect under APAR PM90266
ENVIRONMENT
This technote applies with any Mac OS X compatible with Statistics 21 or 22, Not version 23.
- IBM SPSS Statistics 21 release is supported on Apple Macintosh 10.6 (Snow Leopard), 10.7 (Lion), and 10.8 (Mountain Lion) with Intel processor.
- IBM SPSS Statistics 22 release is supported on Apple Macintosh 10.7 (Lion), and 10.8 (Mountain Lion) with Intel processor.
Note: IBM SPSS Statistics 22 for Macintosh (Mavericks, OSX 10.9 Operating System) is not officially supported until Statistics 22 FixPack 1 is released.
Note: Windows computers see
Technote 1652535
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21652535 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21652535]
Note: For Statistics 23.0 Windows or Mac OS X, refer to technote: 1640411
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21640411 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21640411]
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
One or more of the following symptoms might occur that this resolution can solve.
(1) Statistics takes an abnormally longer time to start and close than when the software was initially installed.
(2) Very slow response and performance with using the software.
(3) The 'Data Editor' menu no longer appears under the Main menu bar.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Delete the following file: com.ibm.spss.plist on your Macintosh to dramatically reduce the opening and closing of the Statistics software.
- You can delete it by opening the Finder and locate the Library/Preferences folder: /Library/Preferences/com.ibm.spss.plist
(1) Restart your Mac.
(2) Open 'Finder'.
(3) Select the 'Home' (house) icon (folder) in the left-hand pane.
(4) Select the 'Go' menu at top of screen.
(5) Press the 'Option' key. The list of menu options will now include 'Library'.
(6) Select the 'Library' menu option.
(7) Open the 'Preferences' folder.
(8) Rename the com.ibm.spss.plist object to old_com.ibm.spss.plist
- Another option is to use the Terminal application and do the following:
rm -fR ~/Library/Preferences/com.ibm.spss.plist
Finish and test your changes by doing the following:
(9) Launch Statistics
(10) Work with the program a bit.
(11) Close the software (It should be quicker, do not force quit)
(12) Re-launch Statistics
(13) Work with the program a bit.
(14) Close the software (do not force quit)
(15) Launch the software
NOTE: When you launch Statistics for the first time, it will take a little longer than subsequent launches, until you reboot your computer again. This is related to Java initialization routines.
- FYI: Additionally, if you are using Mac OSX Mavericks 10.9.x, you need to stop the process that protects this file and restores it (it is deleted):
Since OSX 10.9.x Mavericks a cached copy of your "plist" file is stored that uses a background process: CFPREFSD
Deleting the "plist" file and restarting SPSS Statistics does not create a new copy of these files.
Rather, Mavericks restore its cached copy.
Only by stopping the "cfprefsd" process and starting SPSS Statistics, will it generate a new "plist" preference file and default toolbar.
When you go to Finder - Applications - Utilities and open Activity Monitor on the 10.9.x computer you see that there is a CFPREFSD process visible for root user and for the current logged in user.
You need to stop the CFPREFSD process for the current user. Do so in the Terminal application by running the following command:
killall -u {CURRENT_USER} cfprefsd
Where {CURRENT_USER} is replaced with the person's user ID. One can get the user ID by typing "whoami" at a Terminal prompt.
Should removing these files and running the program does not resolve the issue, you might need to remove all of them and reinstall the program.

TRAIN_Q520 | IBM Recognition gives Word too tall error with IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture - United States recognition OCR OCR_A OCR_S TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
When performing recognition on an image, recognition fails. The RRS log entry shows:
Word too tall, removed.
CAUSE
This error can occur when the height of the word in pixels exceeds the configured limit. It can also occur when the recognition engine cannot identify the boundaries of the word.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Do one of the following as appropriate for the situation.
* Verify that the newest recognition engine is being used. Currently this is done using the RecognizePageOCR_S action from the ocr_sr library.
* Increase the height limit for the action using SetMaxCharacterHeightTMM(x) where x represents the height in pixels. Default depends on the DPI, but for 300 DPI is 64.
* Reduce the height of the word in pixels. This may be done either by making the word smaller, or by reducing the number of pixels per inch for the tiff. | OCR Results for Bold fonts
Hi all,
I am having issue with extracting front that are bold, big front. May I know if Datacap have limitation on capturing metadata with big, bold front such as title of the document. I am using RecognizePageOCR_A for extraction of meta data and every other words were being extracted fine except those that are big. The attachment are the sample of front that could not be captured. | Do one of the following as appropriate for the situation.

TRAIN_Q521 | IBM DOORS module fails to open in exclusive edit mode results in error "unable to open module ...no such file or directory" - United States missing session file; file not found; can not open module; open module exclusive edit fails; PM50525 TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Attempts to open a module exclusive edit in IBM Rational DOORS result in the error "DOORS report
Unable to open module '/A Project/Requirements' No such file or directory".
SYMPTOM
A module with a large number of sections is used mostly in shareable edit mode.
You can open the module Read-only , or Shareable-Edit; but not in exclusive edit.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Login to DOORS
2. Click the Project, or folder, icon that contains the module
3. Click the module icon in the DOORS Explorer window
4. Click File > Open> Exclusive Edit (Ctrl + E)
Expected result: The module should open in Exclusive edit mode.
Actual result: The module will not open in exclusive edit module; however it will open in read only mode, or shareable edit mode. If you attempt to check the database integrity for issue the module is not flagged for any problems.
The full error message is as follows:
DOORS report
Unable to open module '/A Project/Requirements' No such file or directory"

[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21511831&aid=1] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21511831&aid=1]
CAUSE
This issue has been identified as a product defect under APAR PM50525 [http://ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PM31236].
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
This error indicates that a user session file is corrupted on the database server.
This defect is resolved in IBM Rational DOORS Version 9.4.0.1 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27036720#9401]
WORKAROUND:
the following options can be used to correct this problem:
* Retrieve the missing file from system backup and insert it into the module current.ver directory
The advantage of inserting the missing session file is you do not need to restart the database server.
Warning these two option should only be performed by Rational Support. Modifications to the files in your DOORS database could result is data corruption and jeapordize your DOORS database. Send the session.ixc file to support for repair
From the module directory listed in the error message provide support the file session.ixc
Choosing to have support repair the session index file requires you to have all users log out
and shut down the DOORS database server until the repaired file is returned and inserted
to replace the existing data file for the module.
Create a replacement session file
From the module directory listed in the error message provide support the file session.ixc
Adjacent session files will be required in order to to create the replacement.
Your support engineer will identify these files from the session index file.
No work can be performed in the effected module until the replacement session file is restored
for the effected module.
Note: Generally the repair is only required for one user session file. However in circumstances where DOORS reports a missing session file for a module- the event that caused this may have effected session files for other users connected to the module. For this situation you may need to perform a successive repair to the index file. | Cannot open module in exclusive edit - (no such file or directory) Hello.
I have a module, that I can open normally, but when I try to open it in Exclusive Edit it tells me that "no such file or directory"
What does this mean? | This error indicates that a user session file is corrupted on the database server.

TRAIN_Q523 | IBM Client IP address missing from the X-Forwarded-For header - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
Why is the Front End Load Balancer ( FELB ) not forwarding a client IP address to a backend?
ANSWER
This is a known limitation in the current implementation of haproxy ( FELB ), especially with the layer 7 where SSL termination is handled.
Notice that forwarding a client IP address to a backend works when the FELB is setup to use non-SSL configuration. | If we need to log client ip, if the FELB is enabled, does it still need enable x-forwarder-for?

TRAIN_Q524 | IBM Batch job fails with ABEND 102 REASON 00000000
DUMP TITLE=CSQ1,ABN=102-00000000 ... Mismatch code levels - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Your WebSphere MQ (WMQ) batch job abends with an abend 102 - 00000000
ABEND102 ABENDS102 S102
CAUSE
One reason for Abend 102-00000000 -
Mismatch in code levels between WMQ MSTR (Queue Manager) and the batch job
The S102 is occurring as the batch job is running with V701 libraries (for example, SCSQAUTH dataset which contains CSQBSRV, CSQBCON etc) against a V710 queue manager. In order to run against a V710 queue manager the V710 libraries need to be used by the batch job.
In order to connect to a V710 queue manager the application needs to run with a V710 SCSQAUTH. The V710 SCSQAUTH will allow an application to connect to both a V710 or a V701 queue manager.
This is documented in the Information Center (section 'z/OS: Planning for migration from WebSphere MQ version 7.0.1 to WebSphere MQ version 7. [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqv7/v7r1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.mq.doc%2Fmi77108_.htm]1';
*
Per ' Application migration and interoperation [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqv7/v7r1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.mq.doc%2Fmi23001_.htm]' topic, WebSphere MQ does not support connecting server applications loading libraries from the earlier level to connect to a later level of queue manager. On z/OS the STEPLIB must reference the target libraries for the queue manager.
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
In IPCS you can view level of CSQBSRV in the batch job address space.

TRAIN_Q525 | IBM Modifying the default Monitoring Level and Sampling Rate in the J2EE v7.1.1.0.0 agent. - United States J2EE TEMA Monitoring Level Sampling Rate xml files CAMADALL CAMJ2INST DC WebLogic TECHNOTE (FAQ)
THIS DOCUMENT APPLIES ONLY TO THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGE VERSION(S):
US English
QUESTION
How do I modify the default Monitoring Level and Sampling Rate in the new J2EE v7.1.1.0.0 agent?
ANSWER
In the older release of the J2EE agent (v6.2 FP6), there was an option to specify the Monitoring Level, Sampling Rate and other parameters (threshold values, time intervals, etc..) during the configuration phase of the agent itself. This is now not possible in the new J2EE agent v7.1.1.0.0 configuration panels as these options are not available anymore.
The default values for the Monitoring Level and the Sampling Rate are L1 and 2% respectively. If you want to change these default values permanently, then please make these changes.
In the $ITM_HOME/config (Unix) dir or %ITM_HOME%\TMAITM6 (Windows), you will find the <hostname>_yj.xml file. Make a copy of this file, then stop the agent and make changes to the parameters (see screenshot below) in the file. Save file, restart the agent. The new values will now be accepted in the agent. If you are deploying a new Weblogic application, stop the agent, modify the <hostname>_yj_<wls_instance>.xml file then restart the agent again.

QUESTION
The default password does not fulfil corporate security requirements.
CAUSE
The default password is blank
ANSWER
Looking into guides for this third party software shows HSQLDB command line capability as being:
*
* SET PASSWORD
*
*
* SET PASSWORD <password>;
*
*
* Changes the password of the currently connected user. Password must be double quoted. Empty password can be set using "".
An example of changing the password in HSQLDB as above by connecting to the database:
*
*
*
*
*
and issuing the command:
*
quitting:
*
and logging back in with the new password:
*
*
*
*
*
The above example login uses the default ImpactServer name (NCI) and HSQLDB port number (5435). The default password is blank.
One will have to edit the HSQLDB DataSource to enable it to connect to the database with the new password.
A) One method is by encrypting the password and editing the HSQLDB DataSource to allow DSA connection. Use nci_crypt to encrypt the password - for example:
*
*
*
edit the file:
*
to alter the property:
*
from the default value of {aes}9C71E0F544E705326E2B5CBDFC54CE46 to the new encrypted password value - for example:
*
This requires an ImpactServer restart to enable.
B) An alternate method is to edit the DataSource via the normal Impact configuration GUI and provide the new password there. This alternate method has the advantage that one does not need to perform the encryption oneself, nor does one need to manually edit the configuration file and nor does one need to perform an ImpactServer restart to read up the new configuration into the memory resident database that is the ImpactServer. | Netcool/Impact 6.1.0: How to change the HSQLDB password?

TRAIN_Q540 | IBM Fix list for IBM Content Navigator Version 3.0.0 - United States PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION
ABSTRACT
The following table contains the complete listing of fixes for Version 3.0.0.
CONTENT
APARs fixed in IBM Content Navigator Version 3.0.0
APAR Description IO24490 (IBM FileNet P8 users) When EDS is used to hide workflow properties in the in-basket filter, moving the input focus through each visible workflow property field with the tab key causes a null script error when the next field is hidden. This also causes the input focus to stop moving to the next visible field.
With this fix, the tab key moves the input focus through each of the visible fields. IO24492 (IBM Content Navigator for Microsoft Office users) When the LTPA token times out, the SSO Kerberos does not recover.
With this fix, the user connection is reestablished. IO24514 (IBM Content Manager users) Child attribute values are not exported with the other attributes. [https://cmdtsweb4.usca.ibm.com:9449/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/84947]
With this fix, the child attributes and the values are exported. IO24539 (IBM FileNet P8 users) When criteria are entered into the workflow in-basket filter, pressing the Enter key does not close the filter dropdown and apply the filter criteria.
With this fix, the Enter works as expected. IO24544 (IBM CMIS for Content Manager users) Administrators must restart CMIS after modifying the Content Manager data model for users to see the changes.
With this fix, the Content Manager configuration cache is cleared and the data model changes now appear. IO24653 (IBM Content Navigator for Microsoft Office users) Users are unable to select a different document class when adding an email from Outlook.
With this fix, users can change the document model class. IO24710 (IBM FileNet P8 users) When users attempt to download documents with the Download All action and the user does not have permission to open all of the documents, the user receives an error.
With this fix, the user receives a friendly error message that the user does not have sufficient permissions. IO24711 (IBM FileNet P8 users) After editing the properties of multiple documents or folders that have an entry template, the reference to the entry template is lost after changes are saved.
With this fix, the entry template information is retained. IO24745 (IBM FileNet P8 users) The annotateEdit HTML parameter is set to true but annotation editing remains enabled.
With this fix, the annotateEdit parameter disables annotation editing. IO24752 (IBM Content Navigator for Microsoft Office users) When the locale is set to a RTL orientation, some choice lists remain set to LTR.
With this fix, the choice list option orientation is set correctly. IO24757 (IBM CMIS for Content Manager users) When files of 0 byte length are encountered, the document id is not retrieved.
With this fix, the document id, cmis:contentStreamId, is available in the response metadata when using IBM Content Manager Search API. IO24759 (IBM Content Navigator users) When using the sample feature, the ‘Get Next’ button does not work.
With this fix, the ‘Get Next’ button retrieves the next document. IO24765 (IBM FileNet P8 users) When a search returns more than the maximum count of items, the count displays as 0.
With this fix, the message will reflect that the maximum count was exceeded. IO24777 (IBM CMIS for FileNet users) [https://cmdtsweb4.usca.ibm.com:9449/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/84806]CMIS logs an error that parsing runtime descriptor failed.
With this fix, the error is no longer logged. IO24779 (IBM Content Manager users) Users are unable to select the role when adding users or groups to a search, teamspace, or entry template role in a repository configuration.
With this fix, the role can be selected. IO24784 (IBM Content Navigator users) Themes can not be saved.
With this fix, themes can be saved. IO24789 (IBM Content Navigator users) New inheritance security is not set to include document access rights for Owner, Author and Reader.
With this fix, the default document access rights are corrected. IO24790 (IBM Content Manager users) Users are unable to retrieve a worklist containing a very large number of work items.
With this fix, the worklist will display the list of work items. IO24791 (IBM Content Navigator users) Some TIFF images compressed in JPEG only shows a partial image preview.
With this fix, the complete image can be previewed. IO24803 (IBM Content Manager OnDemand users) Users can not sort a field containing a mapping in the OnDemand application group.

TRAIN_Q541 | IBM How to create a custom group/role for Cognos Workspace and/or Cognos Workspace Advanced - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
This document will explain the steps necessary to create a group or role within the Cognos Namespace that can be used to assign only rights for Cognos Workspace Advanced and/or Cognos Workspace (or as they were formerly known in 10.1.1 / 10.1 Business Insight Advanced and/or Business Insight.).
CAUSE
IBM Cognos Licensing might require a Group of Users to be able to only access Cognos Workspace or Cognos Workspace Advanced (Business Insight or Business Insight Advanced).
ENVIRONMENT
IBM Cognos Installation with Cognos Workspace (Business Insight) and Cognos Workspace Advanced (Business Insight Advanced).
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Based on the following steps the group or role will only have access to either Cognos Workspace (Business Insight) or Cognos Workspace Advanced (Business Insight Advanced). Even though the Role receives Traverse and Execute permissions for the Report Studio capability it will not be able to open Report Studio (this is only possible if you have Traverse and Execute permissions for the Professional User Interface Profile).
First create your group or role in the Cognos Namespace:
1. Launch IBM Cognos Administration
2. Select the Security Tab
3. Choose Users, Groups and Roles
4. Click on the Cognos namespace.
5. Click "New Role" or "New Group"
Then you will have to apply the following settings:
R=Read
T=Traverse
W=Write
X=Execute
Permissions on Capabilities [Cognos Administration->Capabilities]:
Cognos Viewer: TX
Run With Options: TX
Collaborate: TX
Executive Dashboard: TX
Executive Dahsboard -> Use Advanced Dashboard Features: TX (10.2.x and Up)
Executive Dahsboard -> Use Interactive Dashboard Features: TX (10.2.x and Up)
Report Studio: TX
Scheduling: TX
Watch Rules: TX
Report Studio Profiles: TX [This is "set properties" directly on Security Tab->User Interface Profiles]
Express: TX [This is below User Interface Profiles]
Permissions:
Public Folders: RTWX
Express Authors (on itself): RTX [Replace this with your Group located in Cognos Administration->Security tab->Users,Groups,Roles->Cognos-><your Express Group>]
To remove the Group/Role access to Cognos Workspace (Business Insight) do the following access:
Cognos Administration->Security Tab->Capabilities->Executive Dashboards (Cognos Workspace/Business Insight)->Set Properties
Your group/role then receives deny on Traverse and Execute.
To remove the Group/Role access to Cognos Workspace Advanced (Business Insight Advanced) do the following:
Cognos Administration->User Interface Profiles->Drop Down Symbol next to Express->Set Properties
Select your group and change Traverse and Execute to Deny.
You can create unique Groups/Roles to cater to every requirement separately. | Cognos Workspace Advanced Users are unable to see features. Why?
Certain Workspace Advanced users cannot open Report Studio. This happens with certain custom roles.
Environment: IBM Cognos 10.2.2.x | Based on the following steps the group or role will only have access to either Cognos Workspace (Business Insight) or Cognos Workspace Advanced (Business Insight Advanced). Even though the Role receives Traverse and Execute permissions for the Report Studio capability it will not be able to open Report Studio (this is only possible if you have Traverse and Execute permissions for the Professional User Interface Profile). |
