Some LDAP user are able to login successfully, but some users are not able to login, why? SYMPTOM For some users that try to log into the TEPS, the following error is seen: "KFWITM393E User ID or password is invalid" The TEPS logs shows the error: KFW1002I Starting Service: 'Startup Complete v2.0' (Thursday, August 28, 2014, 3:12:36 PM-{252C}ctserver.cpp,520, "CTServer::startServerDll") KFW1003I Started Service: 'Startup Complete v2.0' (Thursday, August 28, 2014, 3:12:36 PM-{4D4}ctserver.cpp,975, "CTServer::runORB") KFW1020I ********* Waiting for requests.

IBM SelfMonitoring events incorrectly cleared - United States netcool; impact; netcool/impact; nci; 610; self; monitoring; selfmonitoring; service; event; events; problem; resolution; clear; clears; generic; genericclear; delete; deleteclears; automation; object; server; objectserver; objserv; nco; omnibus TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) All SelfMonitoring Service problem (Service stopped) events are cleared by GenericClear if any single resolution (Service started) event is created SYMPTOM A Service is stopped and a SelfMonitoring (problem) event is sent to the ObjectServer. Another Service is stopped and that too creates a SelfMonitoring (problem) event in the ObjectServer. The second Service is then restarted and SelfMonitoring sends a resolution (Service started) events to the ObjectServer and this results in BOTH Service stopped events being set to Severity 0. CAUSE SelfMonitoring Service events do not include any details of the Service in question in the fields used by the GenericClear Automation in the ObjectServer to uniquely identify and correlate Problem and Resolution events - so any single SelfMonitoring Service Resolution event will correlate with ALL SelfMonitoring Service Problem events and set the Severity to 0 for the DeleteClears Automation to mop up. DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM SelfMonitoring Service events for known stopped Services are vanishing when they shouldn't. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM The easy solution at this time is to upgrade to Fix Pack 1 or higher. One could go to the extremes of creating a PolicyActivator, polling at a higher rate than the GenericClear Automation, to run a Policy to pick-up these events, pull out the Service name from the Summary field and append it to the Agent field of the events so that the GenericClear Automation can uniquely identify and correlate Problem and Resolution events. This problem is recorded by APAR IV13297 "ALERTKEY VALUE FOR SELFMONITORING (SERVICE) EVENTS DOES NOT INCLUDE SERVICE DETAILS, SO GENERICCLEAR CLEARS ALL SUCH EVENTS." [link below] and is fixed in IBM Tivoli Netcool/Impact V6.1.0 Fix Pack 1 (6.1.0-TIV-NCI-FP0001) [link below] and above. RELATED INFORMATION APAR IV13297 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IV13297] 6.1.0-TIV-NCI-FP0001 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24031658]

Netcool/Impact 6.1.0: SelfMonitoring events are being incorrectly cleared by OMNIbus GenericClear Automation Netcool/Impact 6.1.0: SelfMonitoring events are being incorrectly cleared by OMNIbus GenericClear Automation When there are multiple SelfMonitoring events reporting stopped Impact Services and one of those Impact Services is restarted the resolution event is used by the OMNIbus GenericClear (and DeleteClears) Automations to delete ALL the events.

The easy solution at this time is to upgrade to Fix Pack 1 or higher. One could go to the extremes of creating a PolicyActivator, polling at a higher rate than the GenericClear Automation, to run a Policy to pick-up these events, pull out the Service name from the Summary field and append it to the Agent field of the events so that the GenericClear Automation can uniquely identify and correlate Problem and Resolution events.

IBM Health Check events Node and Domain and their interactions. - United States HealthCheck failed events; nco_p_ncpmonitor.rules; VirtualDomain TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) HealthCheck failed events are being received, nco_p_ncpmonitor.rules has been customized. SYMPTOM Although both the Primary and Backup domains are up and (according to their mutual VirtualDomain processes) are healthy, each is sending Health Check Failed events for the other domain. CAUSE This document only applies to those installations where the nco_p_ncpmonitor.rules file has been edited to modify the inserted value for @Node in alerts.status or where @Node is being modified for health check events by some other external process. Each ITNM Gateway (ncp_ncogate) in the Primary and Backup domain retrieves health check events from alerts.status and constructs an update into the state.domains table in the VirtualDomain process. Please review the documentation in the 'Related Information' section below for more information on the Health Check process. DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM When you run the ncp_ncogate process in debug you can see the update that the gateway makes in state.domains. The value for m_Domain should be the same as the Domain name for the Primary or the Backup domain. It should not be the name of the Virtual domain. ProcessHealthCheck sent:update state.domains set m_HealthStatus=1 where m_Domain='ITNM'; RESOLVING THE PROBLEM The value for m_Domain is taken from the value for Node (@Node) in alerts.status for the health check event. If you have altered the inserted value for @Node, either by modifying the nco_p_ncpmonitor.rules file or by some other method such as an Automation or Impact policy, then the resulting update for state.domains will fail. Ensure that the rules governing the modification of @Node allow for the value of @Node to remain unchanged for health check events. RELATED INFORMATION #failover [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v8r1/topic/com.ibm.networkmanagerip.doc_3.8/itnm/ip/wip/install/concept/nmip_ins_failoverop.html]

Does @LocalNodeAlias="" will affect ITNM failover health check events?. Customization in nco_p_monitor.rules with @LocalNodeAlias="empty", after that both Primary and Backup started health check fail event, how to resolve that.

SYMPTOM Following reasons apply: * If the DMS or automatic storage tablespaces are not created in DB2 Version 9.7 or later, as the "Reclaimable Storage" is not available in tablespaces created in earlier versions(V9.1/V9.5) of the DB2 product. * Trying to alter a SMS tablespace as this feature is not supported on SMS tablespaces. Example testcase on a TEMPSPACE1 SMS tablespace. * * * DB21034E The command was processed as an SQL statement because it was not a valid Command Line Processor command. During SQL processing it returned: SQL1763N Invalid ALTER TABLESPACE statement for table space "TEMPSPACE1" due to reason "11" SQLSTATE=429BC * DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM MON_GET_TABLESPACE table function and RECLAIMABLE_SPACE_ENABLED monitor element can be used to identify whether the tablespace is enabled for reclaimable storage or not. Example: db2 "SELECT varchar(tbsp_name, 30) as tbsp_name, tbsp_type, RECLAIMABLE_SPACE_ENABLED FROM TABLE(MON_GET_TABLESPACE('',-2))" Snippet of the output: TBSP_NAME TBSP_TYPE RECLAIMABLE_SPACE_ENABLED ----------------- ----------- ------------------------- SYSCATSPACE DMS 1 TEMPSPACE1 SMS 0 USERSPACE1 DMS 1 If the RECLAIMABLE_SPACE_ENABLED monitor element returns a value of 1, then the tablespace is enabled for reclaimable storage. Otherwise, it returns a value of 0. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM To use the reclaimable storage feature, make sure to create the DMS or automatic storage tablespaces in DB2 Version 9.7 or later. Example testcase on SYSCATSPACE DMS tablespace which has reclaimable storage enabled. * * * * * Note: Tablespaces migrated from DB2 V9.1/V9.5 to V9.7 won't get upgraded directly to use the reclaimable storage feature. RELATED INFORMATION Reclaimable storage [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r7/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.dbobj.doc/doc/c0055392.html]

DB2 Non Reclaimable Storage . We have tablespaces defined under DB2 9.5 that apparently are not able to reclaim storage back to the OS. Is there a conversion available without reloading the tables?

Tablespaces migrated from DB2 V9.1/V9.5 to V9.7 won't get upgraded directly to use the reclaimable storage feature.

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] RELATED INFORMATION FIPS PUB 140-2 [http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips140-2/fips1402.pdf]

Does DB2 DBMS implement NIST FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules to provision digital signatures? Does DB2 DBMS implement NIST FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules to provision digital signatures? If so, how can we utilize it?

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.

IBM Application running on a DB2 client performs poorly due to low level semget calls issued by DB2 - United States db2trc alloc; semget TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) This document provides troubleshooting information for the situation where an application running on a remote DB2 client performs poorly. In particular, it describes a scenario where performance is poor because of failed semget() calls to the operating system. CAUSE DB2® Universal Database™ (DB2 UDB) has an internal trace facility called "db2trc". This trace facility acquires Inter Process Communication (IPC) resources (both semaphore and shared memory). Even though a DB2 trace is not turned on, it may issue semget() calls to the operating system. These calls will fail, though, since no IPC resources were acquired. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM The trace facility has an "alloc" option that can allocate necessary IPC resources. When you issue db2start, internal functions equivalent to command db2trc alloc are automatically issued, and when you issue db2stop, the trace segment will be removed if no one is using it. Since a DB2 client does not necessarily have the ability to perform the db2start command, no IPC's will be automatically allocated for the trace facility, and hence the problem. The solution is to issue the following command at the DB2 client: db2trc alloc This will then create the necessary IPC resources, and prevent the semget() calls from failing (since the semget() call now has IPC resources that it can use). The potential performance problem will thus be avoided. The failed semget() operations are more of a concern for Solaris Operating Environment, Linux®, HP-UX and AIX® operating systems, in terms of performance implications. Windows® will not have this problem due to its specific architecture. The db2trc alloc command should be invoked every time the client is restarted, and therefore it is recommended to add this command to a startup script. Note: To determine if the application is issuing semget() calls, the best course of action would be to take a "truss". Please read your operating system manuals on how to perform and read a truss. RELATED INFORMATION IC85712 (AIX) [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?crawler=1&uid=swg1IC85712] FP5: db2trc command has been improved for clients (Linu [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r7/topic/com.ibm.db2.luw.wn.doc/doc/c0059466.html] v10.5 IT17501 [https://www-01.ibm.com/support/entdocview.wss?uid=swg1IT17501] v11.1 IT17518 [https://www-01.ibm.com/support/entdocview.wss?uid=swg1IT17518]

How do I resolve a performance issue with my applicaiton running on a DB2 client as a result of low level segement calls issued by DB2? Currently experiencing a performance issue with an application running on a DB2 client, the stack traces reveals that multiple segment() calls are being issued by DB2 and they are failing. What can be done to resolve this issue?

The solution is to issue the following command at the DB2 client: db2trc alloc This will then create the necessary IPC resources, and prevent the semget() calls from failing (since the semget() call now has IPC resources that it can use).

IBM Business Process Manager users receive errors that session has expired - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) If you are using CA Wily Introscope to monitor performance in the same environment with IBM Business Process Manager, you might receive messages that a user session has expired. Before you can continue working on IBM BPM, you must log out and log in again. CAUSE WebSphere Application Server has session security integration enabled by default. Enabling this feature guards against the possibility of session data being hijacked by another user. The Wily Introscope agent might try to access an active user session to monitoring purposes. Because Wily does not have the same authenticated user, the session security integration feature prevents Wily from accessing that user session. By having a custom property named InvalidateOnUnauthorizedSessionRequestException set to true, the session manager will invalidate the active user session. This causes the "session expired" messages for the IBM BPM user. (The default value for InvalidateOnUnauthorizedSessionRequestException is false.) DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM To verify you have this problem, you can turn on tracing for the Web container, the session, security, and IBM BPM using these tracing strings: *=info:com.ibm.ws.webcontainer*=all:com.ibm.wsspi.webcontainer*=all:HTTPChannel=all:GenericBNF=all:com.ibm.ws.session.*=all:com.ibm.ws.security.*=all:com.ibm.websphere.security.*=all:com.ibm.websphere.wim.*=all:com.ibm.wsspi.wim.*=all:com.ibm.ws.wim.*=all:WLE.*=all You might see entries in the stack trace similar to the following lines: at com.wily.introscope.agent.servlethelper.ServletRequestHelper.getSession(ServletRequestHelper.java:286) at com.wily.introscope.agent.servlethelper.ServletRequestHelper.get(ServletRequestHelper.java:513) at com.wily.introscope.agent.trace.hc2.HttpServletLazyMapProvider.get(HttpServletLazyMapProvider.java:63) at com.wily.util.adt.LazyMap.get(LazyMap.java:182) at com.wily.introscope.agent.trace.hc2.HttpServletLazyMap.putAllParameters(HttpServletLazyMap.java:191) at com.wily.introscope.agent.trace.hc2.HttpServletTracer.IInvocationDataParameterCallback_addParameters(HttpServletTracer.java:782) at com.wily.introscope.agent.trace.InvocationData.addParameterCallbacks(InvocationData.java:3486) at com.wily.introscope.agent.feature.VirtualStackFeatureHelper.fillComponentParams(VirtualStackFeatureHelper.java:157) at com.wily.introscope.agent.feature.VirtualStackFeatureHelper.getTransanctionSnapShotFromInvocationData(VirtualStackFeatureHelper.java:235) at com.wily.introscope.agent.feature.VirtualStackFeatureHelper.getTransactionSnapshotFromStack(VirtualStackFeatureHelper.java:75) at com.wily.introscope.agent.feature.StallFeatureBase.reportStall(StallFeatureBase.java:50) at com.wily.introscope.agent.feature.StallCheckBehaviorCorrect.ITimestampedRunnable_execute(StallCheckBehaviorCorrect.java:61) at com.wily.util.heartbeat.IntervalHeartbeat$BehaviorNode.execute(IntervalHeartbeat.java:972) at com.wily.util.heartbeat.IntervalHeartbeat.executeNextBehaviorAndCalculateSleepTime(IntervalHeartbeat.java:491) at com.wily.util.heartbeat.IntervalHeartbeat.access$2(IntervalHeartbeat.java:445) at com.wily.util.heartbeat.IntervalHeartbeat$HeartbeatRunnable.run(IntervalHeartbeat.java:668) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:784) RESOLVING THE PROBLEM To prevent the sessions from expiring, choose one of the following options: * Stop the Wily agent. * Remove the custom property InvalidateOnUnauthorizedSessionRequestException=true by completing the following steps: 1. Log in to the administrative console. 2. Click server_name > Session Manager > Custom properties. 3. Select the InvalidateOnUnauthorizedSessionRequestException property, which is set to true, and delete it. The purpose of this setting in BPM default configuration is to "gracefully" terminate existing sessions and create new sessions in shared browser scenarios. With this setting removed, you may see temporary exceptions in cases two users share the same browser instance and try to switch identity without closing the browser in between. 4. Click Apply and then save the master configuration. 5. Restart the servers. * Disable specific Wily configurations that reuse the session IDs from existing users.

The software versions and any maintenance levels listed on this page have been explicitly verified as working. EARLIER LEVEL OF A LISTED SOFTWARE: Software versions at a lower level than those noted on this page are unsupported. LDAP software at an earlier level is considered untested and best effort support only. For more details and exceptions, refer to the WebSphere Portal 6.1.x Support Statement [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wpdoc/v6r1m0/topic/com.ibm.wp.ent.doc_v6101/overview/inst_req_supt.html].

IBM MQ 7.1 and later: How to remove a channel authentication record (CHLAUTH) - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION You have added a channel authentication record into a WebSphere MQ 7.1 or later queue manager: SET CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER(testuser) USERSRC(CHANNEL) ACTION(ADD) AMQ8877: WebSphere MQ channel authentication record set. Then you display it: DISPLAY CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP) 1 : DISPLAY CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP) AMQ8878: Display channel authentication record details. CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER(testuser) USERSRC(CHANNEL) Now you want to remove it and you try executing the following runmqsc command which you constructed using copy and paste from the above output: DELETE CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER(testuser) USERSRC(CHANNEL) 3 : DELETE CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER(testuser) USERSRC(CHANNEL) You get the following error: AMQ8405: Syntax error detected at or near end of command segment below:- DELETE CHLAUTH The DELETE CHLAUTH does not exist and after consulting the MQ 7.1 Information Center you read that you have to use the SET CHLAUTH command with the argument ACTION(REMOVE). You try now: SET CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER(testuser) ACTION(REMOVE) 19 : SET CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER(testuser) ACTION(REMOVE) But you get the following error: AMQ8884: Channel authentication record not found. You specified the attribute CLNTUSER(testuser) as it was shown in the output of the DISPLAY CHLAUTH(*), thus, you think the record should be found. You want to know what is the problem? CAUSE See the following section of the MQ 7.1 documentation: WebSphere MQ > Administering > Administering local WebSphere MQ objects > Performing local administration tasks using MQSC commands WebSphere MQ object names [http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_7.1.0/com.ibm.mq.doc/fa11060_.htm] + Case-sensitivity in MQSC commands MQSC commands, including their attributes, can be written in upper-case or lower-case. Object names in MQSC commands are folded to upper-case (that is, QUEUE and queue are not differentiated), unless the names are enclosed within single quotation marks. If quotation marks are not used, the object is processed with a name in upper-case. When specifying the SET command with the following value CLNTUSER(testuser) the string 'testuser' will be folded to upper-case resulting in the following value being actually used by runmqsc: CLNTUSER(TESTUSER) And in this case, there is no record for the user TESTUSER (the record is for 'testuser'). ANSWER NOTICE that the userid mentioned in the CLNTUSER field of the output of the DISPLAY CHLAUTH command is NOT surrounded by single quotes. However, you MUST include the single quotes when specifying the value during an ACTION(REMOVE): SET CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER('testuser') ACTION(REMOVE) 1 : set CHLAUTH(*) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER('testuser') ACTION(REMOVE) AMQ8877: WebSphere MQ channel authentication record set. ++ Example of record with more attributes Let's examine the case when a record has more attributes, such as: SET CHLAUTH(MY.CHANNEL) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER('client_1') USERSRC(MAP) MCAUSER('user_1') ADDRESS('*') ACTION(ADD) AMQ8877: WebSphere MQ channel authentication record set. display CHLAUTH(MY.CHANNEL) 9 : display CHLAUTH(MY.CHANNEL) AMQ8878: Display channel authentication record details. CHLAUTH(MY.CHANNEL) TYPE(USERMAP) DESCR( ) CUSTOM( ) ADDRESS(*) CLNTUSER(client_1) MCAUSER(user_1) USERSRC(MAP) You want to delete the record and you try the following command which is based on the command that worked well for a simpler case. But this time, it fails: SET CHLAUTH(MY.CHANNEL) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER('client_1') ACTION(REMOVE) AMQ8884: Channel authentication record not found. You try the original command that created the record, but changing the action to REMOVE: SET CHLAUTH(MY.CHANNEL) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER('client_1') USERSRC(MAP) MCAUSER('user_1') ADDRESS('*') ACTION(REMOVE) AMQ8885: Parameter not allowed for this action on a channel authentication record. The attribute USERSRC is not a valid parameter for the REMOVE action (see table below). Therefore, by removing this attribute, then the following command worked successfully to remove the record: SET CHLAUTH(MY.CHANNEL) TYPE(USERMAP) CLNTUSER('mengano') ADDRESS('*') ACTION(REMOVE) AMQ8877: WebSphere MQ channel authentication record set. See: WebSphere MQ 8.0.0 > IBM MQ > Reference > Administration reference > MQSC reference > The MQSC commands > SET CHLAUTH [http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_8.0.0/com.ibm.mq.ref.adm.doc/q086630_.htm] . + begin excerpt .

IBM MQ 7.x, MQ 8.0 and MQ 9.0 compatibility with previous versions - including usage of CCDT files, JMS .bindings, SSL/TLS - United States compatibility; compatible TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION Are WebSphere MQ (WMQ) V7.0, V7.1, V7.5 and V8.0 compatible with previous versions? Can an MQ 8.0 client use a CCDT created with a previous version? Can an MQ 7.0 client use a CCDT created with a newer version? Can a JMS .bindings file created in 7.1 be used with 8.0? Can a JMS .bindings file created in 8.0 be using with 7.1? Can an older MQ client using an old SSL protocol still work with MQ 9.0? ANSWER Compatibility statement: WebSphere MQ V7.0, V7.1, V7.5, V8.0 and V9.0 queue managers and clients inter operate with queue managers and clients from any previous level of the WebSphere MQ or MQSeries products. This means that ... * A 7.0, 7.1, 7.5, 8.0 and 9.0 client can connect to all queue managers, non-version 7, as well as version 7.0, 7.1, 7.5, 8.0 and 9.0 * A 7.0, 7.1, 7.5, 8.0 and 9.0 queue manager can interact with all clients, non-version 7, as well as version 7.0, 7.1, 7.5, 8.0 and 9.0 Note: If your V7.x, V8.0 or V9.0 client connects to an MQ 6.0 or earlier queue manager, or use a server-connection channel with the attribute SHARECNV = 0 (which treats the connection as being MQ 6.0), then you cannot use V7 features, and structures in your client application. MQ Client V6 and V7/V8/V9 compatibility The new features which are available for a version 7.x, 8.0 or 9.0 client connected to a version 6.0 queue manager are: - Weighted selection on CLNTCONN channels. - Reconnecting via a previously used channel. - Maximum message length increased on MQSERVER environment variable. The new feature which is available for a version 6.0 client connected to a version 7.x, 8.0 or 9.0 queue manager is: - Instance limits on SVRCONN channels. Caveat The compatibility statement refers to: Version.Release ... such as: A 7.0 client is compatible with a 7.5 queue manager. This statement does not extend to a more granular specification: Version.Release.Maintenance.FixPack (V.R.M.F) If there are known problems at a given V.R.M.F (such as 7.0.0.0), then an upgrade to a more recent fix pack for the same Version.Release will be necessary (such as 7.0.1.11). Notice that the upgrade is within the same Version.Release (7.0) and a migration to a newer Version.Release is not forced. + Compatibility of MQ clients and CCDT files Newer versions of the MQ clients (such as 8.0) know how to handle CCDT files that were created/edited by older queue managers (such as 6.0) Older MQ clients (such as 6.0) do NOT know how to handle CCDT files that were created/edited by newer queue managers (such as 8.0). That is, older clients do not know what are the new attributes (if any) introduced in newer MQ versions. Based on the above, if you have a mix of versions of MQ clients that use a common CCDT file, then this CCDT file should be edited from a queue manager at the LOWEST (OLDEST) version. For example, if you are using MQ 6.0, 7.0, 7.1, 7.5, 8.0 and 9.0 clients that use a CCDT file, then the CCDT file must be maintained by the MQ queue manager at version 6.0 - However, the newer MQ clients (8.0) when using the CCDT created with 5.3 will NOT be able to fully exploit newer features, even when connecting to an 8.0 queue manager because the CCDT will not show the new attributes for those new features. MQ CCDT created version Compatible MQ client versions 6.0 6.0 7.0 7.1 7.5 8.0 9.0 7.0 7.0 7.1 7.5 8.0 9.0 7.1 7.1 7.5 8.0 9.0 7.5 7.1 7.5 8.0 9.0 8.0 8.0 9.0 9.0 8.0 9.0 Notes: - There was no change in the MQCD length between 7.1 and 7.5. Therefore the CCDT created on 7.5 can be used on 7.1. - There was no change in the MQCD length between 8.0 and 9.0. Therefore the CCDT created on 9.0 can be used on 8.0. - Unless documented otherwise, CCDTs created on higher level maintenance releases (for example 8.0.0.3) are compatible with lower level (for this example: 8.0.0.0) MQ clients running the same MQ version and release. Update on July 2016: There are 2 APARs that allow OLDER MQ clients to use NEWER CCDT files! These APARs relax the restriction by allowing newer CCDTs to be used on older clients but with the caveat that the older client cannot make use of any of the newer channel attributes. These attributes will assume their default values when the CCDT is negotiated with the queue manager. . For Java/JMS client applications: IT10863: WEBSPHERE MQ CLASSES FOR JAVA/JMS APPLICATIONS CAN NOT USE CCDT FILES GENERATED ON A NEWER LEVEL QUEUE MANAGER [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IT10863] Version Maintenance Level v7.0 7.0.1.14 v7.1 7.1.0.8 v7.5 7.5.0.6 v8.0 8.0.0.3 For C based (and non-Java/JMS) client applications: IT11547: WEBSPHERE MQ CLIENT APPLICATIONS CANNOT USE CCDT FILES GENERATED ON A NEWER LEVEL QUEUE MANAGER [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IT11547]. This applies to C based and non-Java/JMS applications. Version Maintenance Level v7.1 7.1.0.8 v7.5 7.5.0.7 v8.0 8.0.0.3 + Compatibility of MQ clients and JMS .bindings files - A JMS .bindings file that was created at an older version (such as 7.1) than the MQ JMS client (such as 8.0) will be used without version related errors by the client. - A JMS .bindings file that was created at a newer version (such as 8.0) than the MQ JMS client (such as 7.1), will be used without version related errors by the client. If there are any new attributes in the JMS administered objects that the older client cannot read, they are ignored. + Compatibility of SSL/TLS cipher specifications There have been changes in recent fix packs related to the compatibility of SSL/TLS cipher specifications. For example, if you have a MQ Client at 7.1.0.1 connecting to a MQ 8.0.0.1 queue manager using an older SSL cipher specification, after applying Fix Pack MQ 8.0.0.2 to the queue manager, the connectivity may be broken because the queue manager indicates that the older SSL cipher spec is now deprecated. For more details on the compatibility of SSL/TLS cipher specifications, see the following blog entry: SSL and TLS Cipher Specification Deprecations for the MQ Product [https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/aimsupport/entry/ssl_and_tls_cipher_specification_deprecations_for_the_mq_product?lang=en] Miguel A. Rodriguez May 2016 Due to the recent security vulnerabilities (for example, POODLE Attack), the latest MQ product Fix Packs come with stricter, default security requirements that affect the use of the compromised Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Weak Transport Level Security (TLS) Cipher Specifications. Since these Cipher Specification deprecations are disabled in MQ Fix Packs by default, review the article for the changes separated by MQ versions and Fix Pack levels.

IBM Web Browser Versions Supported by PathWAI Editor for Messages - United States Web Browser Internet Explorer Editor for Messages 5724K3700 5724K3700TR TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION Which web browser versions are supported by Editor for Messages? ANSWER Editor for Messages supports Microsoft Internet Explorer only. Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome are not supported. Supported IE versions: IE 6, IE 7, IE 8, IE 9 (compatibility view), IE 10(Compatibility view), IE 11(Compatibility view) Note: There are known issues which cause functions not to work correctly with IE 9 or above. For example, the check boxes for queue filters at the right side do not work correctly, and the open queue messages dialog shows in minimum small size. As a workaround, IE compatibility view is recommended. The following explains how to enable it. 1. Enter the URL to connect with Editor for Messages Web Server. In my case, 9.123.109.109 is the server IP. [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21678261&aid=1] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21678261&aid=1] Screenshot 1 2. Right click on the menu Tools –> Compatibility View. From now on, all views from this site will be displayed in IE compatibility view. You may also add the IP to the compatibility view setting (see screenshot 2) by selecting Tools -> Compatibility View Settings, then it will open following dialog. Now, input the server IP address to add and click ‘close’ to save. [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21678261&amp;aid=2] Screenshot 2 After this, you do not need to select the compatibility view every time when IE is launched. IE will open the site automatically in compatibility view.

Why the Editor for Messages logon page does not work? We have Editor for Messages installed on a Windows server. Users are accessing the web UI from a terminal server session that has been replaced recently. Users cannot login anymore from the new environment. The fails as follows : the Editor for Messages logon page loads but when the user wants to validate their user/password by clicking on the "login" button, nothing occurs.

Editor for Messages supports Microsoft Internet Explorer only. Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome are not supported. Supported IE versions: IE 6, IE 7, IE 8, IE 9 (compatibility view), IE 10(Compatibility view), IE 11(Compatibility view)

IBM WebSphere Portal inactive session time out and redirect - United States redirect; session; time out; session time out; redirect.logout.url; redirect logout TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM A redirect to a specific page in IBM WebSphere Portal does not always occur when an inactive session times out or the inactive session time out does not appear to occur at all. DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM You set the following properties in the WP_ConfigService and notice different behavior when the session times out (depending on your version of WebSphere Portal): * * redirect.logout = true * * redirect.logout.url = <Fully Qualified URL> The session inactivity time out is 30 minutes but this value does not affect this issue. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM In V6.1.0.1, when the session expires, you are redirected to the page specified in the redirect.logout.url property. In Portal 6.1.0.1 with APAR PK78213 installed or in V6.1.0.2 and later, you are not redirected to the login page. Instead, the ErrorSessionTimeOut.jsp displays: [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21419230&aid=1] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21419230&aid=1] By design, the ErrorSessionTimeOut.jsp always displays when the session times out if a logout URL is configured. On systems running V6.1.0.1, install APAR PK78213 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PK78213] to maintain consistency across all 6.1 platforms. To redirect to the login page (or any other page) when the session expires, use one of the following methods: * * * * "Configuring authentication filters" * * New security APIs in WebSphere Portal * * * * * * NOTES 1. This document discusses redirect behavior on session timeout. An "explicit" logout (by selecting or clicking the logout link) is always expected to cause a redirect to the URL specified in redirect.logout.url. 2. The inactive session timeout may not work at all in a single node cluster or a cluster with "failover" nodes in which only 1 node is up at a time (for example, when using Portal Express). Either add a second node or set the value for Distributed Sessions from "Memory-to-memory replication" to None in the WebSphere Application Server Integrated Solutions Console, path: Servers > Server Types > Websphere application servers > WebSphere_Portal > session management > Distributed environment settings.

IBM Newly accessed tables result in increasing of dbheap - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) Newly accessed tables result in increasing of dbheap SYMPTOM From output of command "db2pd -db <db name> -mempools" you can find LogSz/PhySz of the memory pool named "dbh" keeps on increasing. CAUSE This is expected result. Every newly accessed table loads the tcb and has associated allocations for data, index, lob, compression dictionaries if applicable. This memory allocation is persistent/cached until the database deactivates or the table is dropped. DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM Collect "db2pd -db showdb -memblocks 2 sort -alldbp", you will find most of the the newly memory allocations are from File 1601762203 LOC 1025 and LOC 1015: Day 1: All memory consumers in Database memory set: PoolID PoolName TotalSize(Bytes) %Bytes TotalCount %Count LOC File 2 dbh 2502313088 51.03 59601 7.42 1025 1601762203 2 dbh 1906996352 38.89 59601 7.42 1015 1601762203 2 dbh 325096960 6.63 169321 21.08 2225 1235116617 2 dbh 37055232 0.76 159296 19.84 3159 1235116617 Day 2: All memory consumers in Database memory set: PoolID PoolName TotalSize(Bytes) %Bytes TotalCount %Count LOC File 2 dbh 2642441600 50.76 63266 7.16 1025 1601762203 2 dbh 2027344256 38.95 63266 7.16 1015 1601762203 2 dbh 356836992 6.86 185844 21.03 2225 1235116617 2 dbh 40057088 0.77 174834 19.78 3159 1235116617 Note, for different versions, LOC might be different, above LOC only applies to V9.7FP11. Collect "db2pd -d showdb -tcbstats -alldbp", you will see the number of tcb entries also keeps on increasing. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM This is the expected result, once all tables in the database are accessed for at least one time, the memory increasing will stop.

Why dbheap memory keeps increasing when I am running select count(*) for each table in my BLU database? I am running DB2 V11.1. It is a BLU database size of about 70T, most of the tables are column organized. I run select count(*) for each table, and finally got out of memory for dbheap. My question is: How to release the data in dbheap.

This memory allocation is persistent/cached until the database deactivates or the table is dropped.

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

Does IBM DataPower Gateway Appliance support the HTTP CONNECT method? Does IBM DataPower Gateway Appliance support the HTTP CONNECT method?

Non-SSL Proxy requests will work using either: a) an XML Firewall when configuring in the HTTP Options tab, where the user can configure the Proxy Host and Port b) a Multi-Protocol Gateway when configuring an HTTP Proxy Policy in the User Agent SSL Proxy requests will work using the CONNECT method for SSL Tunneling when using a Multi-Protocol Gateway when configuring in a User Agent's HTTP Proxy Policy. The XML Firewall service is not designed to use the CONNECT method for SSL Tunneling.

ANSWER Please see the list below. It is strongly recommended to review the platform information on IBM Software Product Compatibility Reports [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/prodguid/v1r0/clarity/index.jsp]. The installation of IBM SPSS Statistics software on Apple Macintosh OSX operating systems requires an Intel processor. A) Apple Macintosh MacOS High Sierra (10.13) Support for IBM SPSS Statistics 25 only. Please note that no other SPSS release will be officially supported on High Sierra, but older versions like SPSS Statistics 24 may run as well on High Sierra. NOTE: There's a known issue with some of the earlier release of Mac High Sierra system (13.0 and 13.1 beta version). The top menu of SPSS 25 may disappear if the Mac OS system is set to Non-English. The official MacOSX 10.13.1 version do not have this issue. So, if you encountert this issue you need to update your Mac OS version to latest official 10.13.1 build from Apple. B) Apple Macintosh MacOS Sierra (10.12) Support for IBM SPSS Statistics 25 and IBM SPSS Statistics 24 only. For release 24 It is also recommended to install the latest FixPack 2 for release 24 on Mac [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24043574].

Problems downloading SPSS Statistics Premium Grad Pack v.24- Mac Purchased SPSS Statistics Premium Grad Pack v.24. for Mac from THINKedu.com. Have tried a dozen times to download it but fails. Tried using wifi, direct ethernet connection, Firefox, Safari, and Chrome incognito, with no other programs running in background. Have purchased previous versions from another vendor multiple times without an issue. THINKedu would not offer additional support, directing me to contact IBM instead. IBM Software Support @ (919) 864-3512 said "there is no phone support for students for SPSS" and directed me to ask a question here instead. Saw a suggestion for an installer on another post; seems to lead to a trial version- is that the best idea?

IBM Optimizing barcode recognition with IBM Datacap - United States bar code barcode recognition optimization patch code patchcode TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION What can be done to give the best results with barcode recognition? CAUSE During printing, the ink can bleed or spread out over the white area, and then, during scanning, additional spreading of black may occur. As a result, the white spaces end up disappearing and the bars blend into each other. This can be seen by looking at the scanned image at high magnification. The barcode must meet the specifications after accounting for this. ANSWER To optimize barcode recognition: * The width of the thinnest bar (called the X-dimension) must be at least one pixel, and two pixels are recommended for best results. At 200 DPI this means each bar must be at least .01 inch. Generally this translates to about 4 to 5 characters per inch. * The X-dimension or width of the narrowest black bar and white space between bars must be at least 20 mils (1/50 inch, 1/2 mm). When scanned perfectly at 200 DPI this would result in 4 pixels, and at 300 DPI 6 pixels. * For Code 39 symbols: a 20 mil X-dimension results in a density of approximately 3.6 characters per inch. Optimally the height should be at least 1/4 inch or 15% of the width, whichever is greater, though this is not an absolute requirement. The minimum quiet zone (white space before and after the bar code) specified by the standard is 1/5 inch. * Scanning can sometimes introduce white or black stripes on the image running in the scanning direction, typically vertical stripes if the paper is scanned in Portrait orientation. Bar codes printed in normal horizontal orientation cannot be read reliably when this occurs. It is advisable to print barcodes perpendicular to the direction of scanning. If the barcode must be printed horizontally on a page, scanning in landscape orientation will make the barcode more robust in the presence of common scanner issues. * By default, Datacap only accepts barcode images with 71% confidence or higher. To modify it to accept low confidence barcodes also, add the following action to run prior to barcode detection: * SetMinimumConfidenceBP(1) - This is equivalent to 11% confidence. Each increment increases the required confidence 10% and higher values can be used if false barcodes are detected. A value of 4 is usually sufficient for this purpose. * Barcode recognition has an internal barcode enhancement capability. To maintain high performance, this feature is turned off by default. If low quality barcodes are being received, it may be desired to turn on barcode enhancement, despite the performance hit. To do this, add the following action to run prior to barcode detection: * rrSet(1,@P.bp_enhance) * Performing Datacap's regular image enhancement (ImageFix) prior to running any barcode recognition action is not recommended. ImageFix is designed to optimize text recognition and can actually degrade the barcode. There are some rare exceptions, and if it is necessary to use image enhancement prior to barcode recognition, pay close attention to the configuration settings, especially vertical line removal and despeckle. To ensure image processing is not interfering with barcode recognition, test with the ImageFix() action removed.

IBM How to enable the snippet results cache in the Netezza Platform Software releases - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) The snippet results cache feature is disabled by default in some NPS releases. Review this topic to learn how to enable the feature if your queries could benefit from it. CAUSE Starting with the June 2015 fix packs for NPS 7.1.0.6 and 7.2.0.5, and the NPS 7.2.1 release, the snippet results cache is disabled by default because it was optimized for specific workloads. Starting in the March fix packs 7.1.0.9, 7.2.0.8, and 7.2.1.2, the feature is enabled by default because it is optimized for most workloads. ENVIRONMENT Netezza Platform Software releases 7.1.0.6 through 7.1.0.8-P1, 7.2.0.5 through 7.2.0.7-P1 and 7.2.1 through 7.2.1.1-P1 DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM Queries that take advantage of the snippet results cache have longer runtimes after upgrades from any 7.x release to a release listed in the Environment section. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM The snippet results cache is a query optimization feature added in NPS release 7.1 that can help to improve the performance of small queries. The feature was enabled by default for the NPS 7.1 releases up to 7.1.0.6 and for 7.2 releases up to 7.2.0.5. The snippet results cache saves the intermediate results of snippets and can reuse them rather than incur the processing time to recompute them when needed. The cache can help to improve the performance of small queries. However, in environments where queries run against tables that constantly change with TRUNCATE, load, updates, and/or rollback operations, caching may not be a good match if cached snippet results are frequently invalidated before they can be reused. If you upgrade from any 7.x release to a release listed in the Environment section and detect a change in query performance for queries that take advantage of the snippet results cache, you can re-enable the feature. To enable the feature on a session level and test the snippet results cache behavior, you must pause the NPS system, set the variable, and resume the system, as follows: nzsystem pause -force nzsystem set -arg system.srcMode=1 -force nzsystem resume This setting remains in effect until the database is restarted. You can add the definition to the system.cfg file to keep the setting in effect after the Netezza software restarts: 1. Log in to the Netezza system as the nz user account. 2. With any text editor, open the /nz/data/config/system.cfg file. 3. Look for a system.srcMode definition in the file to make sure that one is not already present and/or commented out. If you find an entry, make sure that system.srcMode=1 is set and not commented out with a # character. If you cannot find an entry, add system.srcMode=1 to the file. 4. Save and close the system.cfg file. 5. Stop and restart the NPS software using the nzstop and then the nzstart commands.

IBM Insufficient ulimit Value Causes Native OutOfMemory - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) An out of memory may be observed on a system running WebSphere Application Server on Linux or AIX that is due to ulimit restrictions on number of process/threads per user. Further investigation may reveal a "Failed to create a thread:" message within the generated javacore which would indicate a native out of memory issue has been encountered. The cause of the problem may be an insufficient ulimit setting. While this type of issue can occur on any level of Linux, or AIX, the issue is most likely to be seen in systems running multiple instances of WebSphere Application Server using one userid. The following will outline how to identify if a process ulimit is the culprit and what WebSphere Application Server Support recommends to fix the case. SYMPTOM An out of memory Dump Event such as: "systhrow" (00040000) Detail "java/lang/OutOfMemoryError" "Failed to create a thread: retVal -1073741830, errno 11" received Note: This detailed message will appear only in javacores. DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM When using WebSphere Application Server, ulimits can be set to fix or tune around a number of problems. For more on how to set a ulimit refer to the "Guidelines for setting ulimits [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21469413]" Technote which goes into detail on setting different ulimits on various operating systems and the difference between the soft and hard limit. This article is concerned particularly with the "-u" ulimit or "nproc" limit on Linux, the ulimit - r on AIX which affects the number of threads allowed for a single user process running WebSphere Application Server. The AIX issue is less commonly seen as it limits then number of threads for a process but is seen in application servers with very large thread pools, This is becoming more common in 64bit addressing JVMs running complex applications. WebSphere Application support recommends setting the ulimit -r ulimited on AIX. The nproc limit usually only counts processes on a server towards determining this number. Linux systems running WebSphere Application Server are a particular case. The nproc limit on Linux counts the number of threads within all processes that can exist for a given user. To determine the ulimit settings of a WebSphere Application Server process running on Linux refer to "How to determine the ulimit settings of a running WebSphere Application Server process on Linux [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21407889]". User Limits (in bytes except for NOFILE and NPROC) type soft limit hard limit RLIMIT_AS unlimited unlimited RLIMIT_CORE unlimited unlimited RLIMIT_CPU unlimited unlimited RLIMIT_DATA unlimited unlimited RLIMIT_FSIZE unlimited unlimited RLIMIT_LOCKS unlimited unlimited RLIMIT_MEMLOCK 65536 65536 RLIMIT_NOFILE 65536 65536 RLIMIT_NPROC 131072 131072 For most cases of older versions of Linux this value will be defaulted to around 2048. For out of the box Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 the default value for nproc will be set to 1024. This low default setting for larger systems will not allow for enough threads in all processes. WebSphere Application Server Support recommends setting the ulimit -u or nproc to a value of 131072 when running on Linux to safely account for all the forked threads within processes that could be created. By using this recommended value a sufficient number of threads in all processes will be allowed and will not be a limiting factor for the environment. Increasing the limit to the suggested value should have no negative impact. When the number of threads in all processes reaches the -u ulimit, an out of memory error message will be thrown. This issue can be avoided by increasing this limit. Be aware that if the number of threads/processes reaches the recommended number of 131072 or close, the issue may be deeper and continuing to increase the -u ulimit will only prove to be a temporary fix. Once the ulimit is increased, the WebSphere Application Server will need to be restarted to use the new setting. In the case of WebSphere Application Server ND, the nodeagent and the servers on the nodes will need to be restarted.

Why may I receive: Dump Event "systhrow" (00040000) Detail "java/lang/OutOfMemoryError" "Failed to create a thread: retVal -1073741830, errno 11" ? Why may I receive: Dump Event "systhrow" (00040000) Detail "java/lang/OutOfMemoryError" "Failed to create a thread: retVal -1073741830, errno 11" ?

The cause of the problem may be an insufficient ulimit setting. While this type of issue can occur on any level of Linux, or AIX, the issue is most likely to be seen in systems running multiple instances of WebSphere Application Server using one userid.

IBM Rewriting HTTP (port 80) requests to HTTPS (port 443) - United States rewrite; ssl; plugin; dynamic; static; rules; IHS; WAS TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) The rewrite module (mod_rewrite.c) provided with the IBM® HTTP Server can be used as an effective way to automatically rewrite all HTTP requests to HTTPS. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM The rewrite module (mod_rewrite.c) can be used to automatically rewrite all HTTP (port 80) requests to HTTPS (port 443). This provides an effective way to ensure that all traffic to and from the IBM HTTP Server is encrypted over the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) without having to use individual redirects or hard-coded HTTPS links. Note: The web server should already be configured to handle HTTPS requests successfully before attempting to implement the following suggestions. For assistance with setting up SSL in the IBM HTTP Server, visit SSL guide [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21179559] First, make sure the LoadModule line for mod_rewrite is uncommented in the httpd.conf LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so Next, add the following to the global scope or any port 80 VirtualHost stanzas defined within the httpd.conf configuration file. RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} =80 RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L] Finally, restart the IBM HTTP Server after making the preceding changes Important: If using HTTP authentication, make sure it is only configured for your SSL virtual host. If it also applies to your port 80 requests, the authentication challenge can pre-empt the rewrite, resulting in user IDs and passwords being sent over an unencrypted session. It is also recommended that you configure your port 80 virtual host with a different document root and so on, from your SSL virtual host. This is to be sure that even if your rewrite fails, sensitive information cannot be served from that virtual host over unencrypted sessions. RELATED INFORMATION Module mod_rewrite..URL Rewriting Engine [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html]

How to have IBM HTTP Server re-direct an application URL from HTTPS to HTTP? We have an application which uses SSL, but we need to make this http only. We disabled all the SSL, but many clients URLs are still pointing to https. So we need a HTTP Server redirect to change these URLs from https to http. Is this possible?

First, make sure the LoadModule line for mod_rewrite is uncommented in the httpd.conf LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so Next, add the following to the global scope or any port 80 VirtualHost stanzas defined within the httpd.conf configuration file. RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} =80 RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L] Finally, restart the IBM HTTP Server after making the preceding changes

IBM Does the RRT agent support TLS 1.1/1.2 and 256-bit ciphers? - United States 256-bit ciphers; Strong Encryption; TLS 1.1; TLS 1.2; SSL; Generic Failure; Cannot support; RPT; RRT; T6; 71RRT-RPTPLAN; 71RRT-RPTINS; 71RRT-RPTCONF; 71RRT-RPTPLAY; 71RRT-RPTWV; 71RRT-RPTTS TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION What do you need to do to configure the Robotic Response Time (RRT) agent to support TLS 1.1/1.2 and 256-bit ciphers? CAUSE Support for TLS 1.1/1.2 and 256-bit ciphers is determined by the underlying JRE (Java Runtime Environment). Consequently, in order to support TLS 1.1/1.2 and 256-bit ciphers, patch the RPT workbench JRE, and patch the RRT agent JRE. Both JREs must support the same level of TLS. ANSWER SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are transport layer protocols. Ciphers implement security by providing the encryption mechanism. TLS is the new protocol. SSL protocol got up to version 3.0. In effect, TLS 1.0 is SSL 3.1. Currently, TLS versions include TLS 1.1 and 1.2. Each new version adds new features and modifies internal details. Whether the RRT agent supports TLS1.1/1.2 depends on whether the underlying JRE supports TLS 1.1/1.2. The JRE that supports the RRT agent and the JRE that supports RPT workbench must both support the same version of TLS and the same ciphers. For example, RRT 7.3 FP01 supports RPT 8.3.0.3, but RPT 8.3.0.3 does not support TLS1.1/1.2. Consequently, RRT 7.3 FP01 also does not support TLS 1.1/1.2. In comparison, RRT 7.4 with IF21 or IF24 (7.4.0.0-TIV-CAMRT-IF0021 or 7.4.0.0-TIV-CAMRT-IF0024) can support RPT 8.3 and RPT 8.6 since RPT 8.6 supports TLS1.1 /1.2, and the IBM Java 7 included with RRT 7.4 also supports TLS 1.1/1.2. However, when a script uses TLS 1.2/1,2, some ciphers may not be supported. To verify whether certain cipher suites are supported, visit the IBM Java Knowledge Center: IBM Java Cipher Suite Information http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYKE2_7.0.0/com.ibm.java.security.component.70.doc/security-component/jsse2Docs/ciphersuites.html?lang=en [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYKE2_7.0.0/com.ibm.java.security.component.70.doc/security-component/jsse2Docs/ciphersuites.html?lang=en] Do You Need to Patch Java? First, determine whether your script uses 256-bit ciphers. In RPT workbench, open the script in Test Editor mode. In the left panel, drill down through the Server Access Configurations. Select SSL. [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21960133&amp;aid=1] In the right panel, examine the available ciphers that display. If the list contains 256-bit ciphers, you need to support Strong Encryption in RPT and the RRT agent. The name identifies the encryption level. For example, SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA is a 256-bit cipher. The presence of 256 in the cipher name means that the cipher supports 256-bit encryption. [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21960133&aid=2] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21960133&aid=2] Cipher Naming Conventions In RPT workbench, the cipher name always begins with "SSL" to simplify naming conventions. If the script uses TLS as the protocol in the test, then the cipher is a TLS cipher. [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21960133&aid=3] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21960133&aid=3] Playback Symptoms Check whether your script playbacks indicate that the RRT JRE needs to be patched to support Strong Encryption.

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'; * * * * * * * ij> CALL SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_EXPORT_TABLE('RELEASE','USER_DESC','USER_DESC.SQL',';','|',NULL); * * * * * ij> * CALL SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_EXPORT_QUERY('SELECT * FROM RELEASE.USER_DESC','user_desc_query.sqlL',null,'|',NULL); * * RELATED INFORMATION Derby utility from Apache [http://docs.oracle.com/javadb/10.3.3.0/getstart/cgsusingtoolsutils.html] Derby SQL references from Apache [http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.1/ref/crefsqlj23296.html] Cross reference information Segment Product Component Platform Version Edition Organizational Productivity- Portals & Collaboration WebSphere Portal End of Support Products AIX, HP-UX, IBM i, Linux, Solaris, Windows, z/OS 7.0, 6.1

How can I query the Derby database in Portal via SQL statements? I have a Portal system I just installed. I have not yet run database-transfer to copy the data from the Derby database to a DB2, Oracle, or SQL Server database. I don't wish to transfer to an external database and I have a need to run a SQL query against a table or two in the Derby database to troubleshoot an issue. How can I perform this action?

IBM Configuring DataPower MQ client to use SSL in mutual authentication mode - United States datapower; mq; websphere mq; ssl; mutual authentication mode; mq manager; 7993; 7993; 7993; machine type 7993 TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) The WebSphere DataPower MQ Client can be configured to use SSL in mutual authentication mode with a Remote WebSphere MQ Manager. This step-by-step technote guides DataPower Appliance users on how to configure DataPower MQ Manager Object to use SSL in mutual authentication mode. This technote assumes that MQ queue manager is configured with key database and its associted password file for using SSL connection with other MQ clients. If it is not configured yet, it has to be done first using the URL: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqv7/v7r0/topic/com.ibm.mq.explorer.doc/e_ssl.htm [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqv7/v7r0/topic/com.ibm.mq.explorer.doc/e_ssl.htm] RESOLVING THE PROBLEM In order to use this technote, you should have a working knowledge of how to setup and administer MQ Server in Windows, AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, or Linux environment. You should also have an understanding of how to configure DataPower MQ Manager Object that connects to remote WebSphere MQ Queue Manager (qmgr). This technote focuses on configuring DataPower MQ Client to use SSL in mutual authentication mode with Firmware Releases 3.8.2 and later fixpacks. Follow these steps to configure DataPower MQ Manager Object (mq-qm object) to access WebSphere MQ Queue Manager (Remote MQ Server) in SSL mutual authentication mode. WebSphere MQ configuration prerequisites The following three steps are necessary to make sure that the SSL configurations for the Remote MQ Server is correctly working. Refer to IBM WebSphere MQ product manuals to configure MQ environment to work in SSL mutual authentication mode. 1. Configure WebSphere MQ Queue Manager (Remote MQ Server) to use SSL authentication (SSLCAUTH as "required") using URL: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqv7/v7r0/topic/com.ibm.mq.explorer.doc/e_ssl.htm [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqv7/v7r0/topic/com.ibm.mq.explorer.doc/e_ssl.htm]. 2. Configure WebSphere MQ Client to use SSL authentication. 3. Verify that WebSphere MQ Client can PUT/GET message(s) using application programs such as amqsputc and amqsgetc with MQ Queue Manager in SSL mutual authentication mode. Generate self signed key/certificate 1. Generate the self signed key/certificate pair using the "crypto tool" from the DataPower device. 2. Download the two files to your local machine. For the sake of illustration purpose, the names of the key and certificate files are defined as "dpmqclient-privkey.pem" and "dpmqclient-sscert.pem" respectively. 3. Assuming that openssl tool (www.openssl.org [http://www.openssl.org]) is installed in the local machine. With openssl tool, you can use the following command to create a "pkcs12" type key from the above key/certificate pair which are of PEM type. This step is necessary as MQ key database will not import key/certificate files created as PEM. openssl pkcs12 -export -out dpmqclient-key.p12-in dpmqclient-sscert.pem-inkey dpmqclient-privkey.pem-name ibmwebspheremqadmin Note the value associated with "-name" parameter. IBM WebSphereMQ client required a friendly label as "ibmwebspheremq<userid>" of the MQ client user. In this example, the user name is being used as "admin". This user must be used in the DataPower MQ Queue Manager object and it must also be an authorized user for both the DataPower MQ instance as well as for the remote WebSphere MQ Server. Please refer to Pages G58-62 in the 3.6.0-WebGui Guide for various fields as described in MQ Queue Manager configuration screen. Also note the following two fields with appropriate values which are required for the MQ Queue Manager object to connect the remote WebSphere MQ Server in SSL mode. * SSL Key Repository: The key database file name SSL Cipher Specification: TRIPLE_DES_SHA_US To import a personal certificate using "iKeycmd" GUI, use the following commands in your host machine where the WebSphere MQ Server/Client is running. * UNIX * * * gsk7cmd -cert -import -file filename -pw password -type pkcs12 -target filename -target_pw password -target_type cms * * * Windows * * * runmqckm -cert -import -file filename -pw password -type pkcs12 -target filename -target_pw password -target_type cms * * * * * -file * filenam * * * -pw * password * * * -type * pkcs12 * * * -target * filename * * * -target_pw * password * * * -target_type * cms * Generate the new password file Follow these steps to generate the new password file. 1. Start the iKeyman GUI using either the gsk7ikm command (on UNIX) or the strmqikm command (on Windows). 2. From the Key Database File menu, click Open. The Open window displays. 3. Click Key database type and select CMS (Certificate Management System). 4. Click Browse to navigate to the directory that contains the key database files. 5. Select the key database file in which you want to save the certificate, for example key.kdb. 6. Click Open. The Password Prompt window displays. 7. Type the password you set when you created the key database and click OK. 8. The name of your key database file displays in the File Name field. The Personal Certificates menu will display both "ibmwebspheremq<qmgr>" and "ibmwebspheremq<user>" labels. 9. In the WebSphere MQ Certificate key database, there is one certificate assigned to the queue manager or client. The certificate's Friendly Name attribute contains the string ibmwebspheremq followed in lower case by the queue manager name or the client logon ID. This Friendly Name value becomes the label of the certificate in the GSKit key database. Refer to Alter the Friendly Name (Label) of pkcs12 certificates for importing into GSKit [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21225160] if you want to alter the Friendly Name (Label) of pkcs12 certificates that are part of WebSphere MQ Certificate key database.
