IBM How to determine if a TIP server is part of a HA cluster - United States TIPL2; TIPL2CONF; TIPL2HALB; Load balancing; high availability; Tivoli Integrated Portal; HA; TIP; HATool; modules; database TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
What steps can be used to determine if a Tivoli Integrated Portal server is part of a High Availability server group?
ANSWER
Use the HATool.{bat|sh} command located in the <TIP HOME>/profiles/TIPProfile/bin/ha directory. The usage for that command is:
HATool.{bat|sh} modules <db2 username> <db2 password>
If this returns a list of modules, then HA is configured and the server is joined.
If this returns empty, then HA is configured, but server is disjoined.
If this throws Database Connection errors, then HA has never been configured on this server.
See the following technical note for complete details on High Availability/load balancing configuration:
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v15r1/topic/com.ibm.tip.doc/ctip_config_ha_ovw.html [http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v15r1/topic/com.ibm.tip.doc/ctip_config_ha_ovw.html]

I'm trying to verify whether a server is part of a built-in failover setup. Which command should I run from the terminal with a username and password, and what do the three possible outcomes mean—receiving a list, receiving nothing, or getting a database connection error?
|
Use the HATool.{bat|sh} command located in the <TIP HOME>/profiles/TIPProfile/bin/ha directory. The usage for that command is:
HATool.{bat|sh} modules <db2 username> <db2 password>
If this returns a list of modules, then HA is configured and the server is joined.
If this returns empty, then HA is configured, but server is disjoined.

IBM Correct understanding of CSV version of PVU reports - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
What files are in the audit snapshot generated by IBM License Metric Tool or IBM BigFix Inventory version 9.x, and what is the correct interpretation of the values in the CSV report files?
CAUSE
The licensing reports in CSV format can be misinterpreted by some customers.
ANSWER
Audit snapshot is a record of PVU and RVU MAPC utilization in your enterprise over a period of time. It contains the following files:
* audit_trail.csv – all user actions that influence the final results of the licensing reports, for example, software classification actions, uploads and imports of the PVU table, software catalog, and charge units as well as changes to the VM managers.
* data_conditions.txt – conditions that were used during the generation of the audit snapshot, including the reporting period and filters applied on the reports as well as general information about the time when the snapshot was generated, version of the PVU table and software catalog, status of the import, aggregation, and recalculation.
* part_numbers.csv - part numbers that are listed in the software catalog for all software products that are included in any of the CSV report files.
* pvu_full_capacity.csv - PVU full capacity license metric results
* pvu_sub_capacity.csv - PVU subcapacity license metric results
* rvu_full_capacity.csv - RVU full capacity license metric results
* rvu_sub_capacity.csv - RVU subcapacity license metric results
* bundling_definitions.csv - list of IBM software regardless of its license type and utilization together with details of the computers on which the software is installed
* readme.txt - a link to this document (technote)
* checksums.txt, signature.rsa, and pub_key.pem - files used by IBM auditors to verify the authenticity and correctness of the audit snapshot.
Why some product instances are not listed in the CSV reports?
CSV reports with information about PVU and RVU MAPC utilization (pvu_full_capacity.csv, pvu_sub_capacity.csv, rvu_full_capacity.csv, and rvu_sub_capacity.csv) list only software instances that were discovered during the license peak value time. If an instance was installed in your environment during the reporting period of the current audit snapshot but was not discovered during the license peak value time, the instance is not listed in the CSV reports.
Example:
Three instances of DB2 are installed. The reporting period is set to one month and DB2 license utilization is as follows:
· Instance 1 uses the maximum of 100 PVUs,
· Instance 2 uses the maximum of 300 PVUs,
· Instance 3 uses the maximum of 500 PVUs.
The license peak value occurs when the sum of PVU values for all instances is the highest and equals 800 PVUs (300 PVUs for instance 2 + 500 PVUs for instance 3). The peak occurs during the period that is marked with a red square (it is the license peak value time). The peak usage for instance 1 is outside of the red square. It means that this instance was installed in the environment during the current reporting period but was not discovered during the license peak value time. This instance is not listed in the CSV report.
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=1] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=1]
Why some values from the CSV report do not relate back to what is displayed on the user interface?
When all values from column M (Physical Server PVU Subcapacity) for a particular product are added, the obtained value is greater that the value that is displayed in the user interface. It happens due to the way that data is presented in CSV reports and on the user interface.
The All IBM Metrics and IBM PVU subcapacity reports are multilevel, and consist of the following levels:
1. First level: a list of all products
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=2] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=2]
2. Second level: when you click a product name, you go to information about the physical server on which the product is installed.
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=3] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=3]
3. Third level: when you click the server name, you go to a list of virtual machines that run on this server and have the product installed.
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=4] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=4]
The audit snapshot is not multilevel. However, it has to present the same information that the report that is available in the user interface. Below is an excerpt from the audit snapshot that corresponds to the report that was presented on the screen shots above (some columns are hidden in the snapshot to simplify it).
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=5] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=5]
When values in column M are added, PVU consumption equals 480 PVUs. However, these values should not be added because they all refer to a single server (TLM_VM_423…) on which the four VMs run, not an individual VM that is listed in column P (Computer).
The value in column M is repeated due to the way data needs to be presented in a CSV file. If you want to relate back the value from column M in the audit snapshot to the user interface report, it is the value that you can see in the column PVU Subcapacity Limit on the second level of the report. The value in column L relates back to the column CPU Core Subcapacity on the second level of the report.
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=6] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=6]
PVU and RVU MAPC subcapacity license terms specify license consumption only on the physical server level. PVU and RVU MAPC values cannot be calculated and presented on the virtual machine or LPAR level, and such data is not provided by License Metric Tool or BigFix Inventory. For more information about virtualization capacity license counting rules that are used for PVU and RVU MAPC calculation, see:

During my monthly check, I notice some installations were active earlier in the period but don’t appear in the data file I downloaded, even though the on-screen numbers seem to include other instances. Is there a rule that only records from the peak usage moment are kept, which could explain why some installs are missing? Also, why would the same server appear multiple times in the file, and how should I interpret those duplicates when comparing to what I see on the screen?

Can I see the exact number of PVU used in our VM environment Hi,
Happy new year!
Can I see the exact number of PVU used in our VM environment, if yes, how to check? I want to be sure that we are using correct number of PVU we have license for.
We have installed Datastage on a windows 2016 standard server with 2 processor and 2 cores per processor assigned to this virtual server. The blade server that is used by this datastage server has 2 processors, 6 cores each.
After configuring ILMT for the first time, the metric reports showed 120 PVU per core, so a total of 480 full capacity. Then we defined VM manager, and now reports show a PVU total of 840 full capacity and 480 sub capacity.

IBM Java SDK Upgrade Policy for the IBM WebSphere Application Server - United States upgrade policy TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
What is the Java™ SDK upgrade policy for the IBM® WebSphere® Application Server?
CAUSE
Updating to the latest compatible Java SDK could help you resolve problems more quickly.
ANSWER
The IBM WebSphere Application Server Java SDK can be upgraded to the latest service release for the same Java SDK version.
List of WebSphere Application Server fix packs and the corresponding Java SDK versions [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27005002]
Policy Summary by WebSphere Application Server release:
WebSphere Application Server V8.0, V8.5, V8.5.5
Starting with V8.0 and applicable to all subsequent releases and fixpacks, there is one install package that contains updates for both WebSphere Application Server and Java SDK. Applying fixpacks of WebSphere Application Server also upgrades the SDK that is packaged and bundled within the fixpack. Additionally, separate Java SDK fixpacks are also available that contain just the SDK updates which can be applied to upgrade the SDK.
WebSphere Application Server V7.0
Any V7.0 fix pack can upgrade to the latest Java SDK 1.6.0 service release packaged for WebSphere Application Server.
WebSphere Application Server V6.1
Any V6.1 fix pack can upgrade to the latest Java SDK 1.5.0 service release packaged for WebSphere Application Server.
WebSphere Application Server V6.0
Any V6.0 fix pack can upgrade to the latest Java SDK 1.4.2 service release packaged for WebSphere Application Server.
WebSphere Application Server V5.1
Any V5.1 fix pack can upgrade to the latest Java SDK 1.4.1 and any V5.1.1 can be upgraded to the latest Java SDK 1.4.2 service release packaged for WebSphere Application Server.
WebSphere Application Server V5.0
Any V5.0 fix pack can upgrade to the latest Java SDK 1.3.1 service release packaged for WebSphere Application Server.
Details of Java SDK Upgrade Policy
WebSphere Application Server leverages the Java SDK as a base component. This results in unique support issues, including:
* Matching Java SDK service releases to Application Server releases and fix packs
* Delivering updates and fixes associated with the Java SDK on any given Application Server release.
In an effort to resolve customer Java SDK situations as quickly as possible, WebSphere Application Server Support has done a quickest-path-to-resolution analysis, determining the most direct way to collect problem information.
In some cases, problem resolution might include finding shortcuts to resolve symptoms. One shortcut is an immediate upgrade to a newer compatible Java SDK service release, before gathering detailed problem determination data.
There are multiple advantages to performing an immediate Java SDK upgrade as a quicker path to resolution over a full Problem Determination (PD) process:
1. There is a continuous stream of fixes going into the Java SDK. Many problems encountered by customers are resolved by these fixes.
2. When a new problem is encountered, applying the latest Java SDK is a quick way to determine if related fixes change the symptoms or correct the problem.
3. Many documented Java SDK fixes have common symptoms. Frequently, limited PD data does not isolate the problem to a single root cause.
These factors highlight the advantage of applying a newer Java SDK before working through a full PD cycle.
Java SDK and WebSphere Application Server software are updated frequently. To avoid compatibility issues for customers, WebSphere Application Server Support maintains this Java SDK Upgrade Policy.
WebSphere Application Server Support details:
http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/support.html [http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/support.html]
Identifying compatibility limitations between WebSphere Application Server releases and Java SDK service releases that have not been tested together reduces risk.
Important: Using a Java SDK not specifically packaged with WebSphere Application Server and supplied by IBM, or in violation of the Java SDK Upgrade Policy, is not supported by IBM WebSphere Application Server Support for Java SDK problems. RELATED INFORMATION

I'm seeing recurring errors in our current release and I'm wondering if I can swap in the latest patch for the bundled runtime that matches the same major version, without upgrading the whole package. Is that permitted, and is there a separate patch that's just for the runtime? Also, would using a runtime update that's not included with the main package be supported?
|
Starting with V8.0 and applicable to all subsequent releases and fixpacks, there is one install package that contains updates for both WebSphere Application Server and Java SDK. Applying fixpacks of WebSphere Application Server also upgrades the SDK that is packaged and bundled within the fixpack. Additionally, separate Java SDK fixpacks are also available that contain just the SDK updates which can be applied to upgrade the SDK.
|
Installing fixpacks with Installation Manager - when did it change from using updateInstaller, starting in which version of WebSphere I was using updateInstaller to install fixpacks, and there was a separate fixpack for WebSphere and separate for the JDK, independent of each other. Now I understand that with Installation Manager there is a single package containing both the WebSphere App server fixpack as well as the JDK. When did this occur, starting with which version of WebSphere ?

IBM How do I process Sparse data objects Identified in the Audit - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
How do I turn on sparse data object processing
ANSWER
After harvesting a volume, the audit may show "skipped - cannot
access data object", with a sparse data object message recorded in the details section.
To correct this problem, ensure that no jobs are running. SSH into the Data Server(s) and enter the following command at the prompt;
psql -U dfuser dfdata -c "insert into adminknobs (name,value,description,valuetype,use) VALUES ('read_sparse_files','1','Read sprase data objects','int','1')"
It should return the following;
INSERT 0 1
if so, enter the following command and wait for the UI to come back up;
service siqinit restart
You can now run harvests as normal and sparse data objects will be processed. If your are using a policy which backs up the original files and just leaves a sparse file viewable that when accessed, will pull the original file forward, you may run into space issues. This is because SIQ will be accessing every sparse file, so the sparse files' size on disk will grow to the same size as the original file.
|
After a batch run finishes, a few items are marked unreadable and aren’t processed, and I’d like them to be handled again without interrupting other ongoing tasks. What exact steps should I take to enable reading those items and restart the workflow, and are there any storage implications if we keep backups of the originals while showing placeholders that expand to the full file when opened?
|
SSH into the Data Server(s) and enter the following command at the prompt;
psql -U dfuser dfdata -c "insert into adminknobs (name,value,description,valuetype,use) VALUES ('read_sparse_files','1','Read sprase data objects','int','1')"
It should return the following;
INSERT 0 1
if so, enter the following command and wait for the UI to come back up;
service siqinit restart

How do you switch on the indexing of sparse file in StoredIQ? By default these are skipped - does anyone know where to switch them on on the dataserver?

IBM Error # 2070. The license server is down. Specific symptom number: 3 - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
We have network installations of IBM SPSS Statistics/Modeler. When the application is launched, the following errors are reported:
"The current license does not permit this job to continue."
followed by...
"Error # 2070
The license server is down. Please check to see that the license server is running or ask your local SPSS coordinator to check the license server.
This command is not executed.
Specific symptom number: 3."
The Safenet Sentinel License Manager has been licensed and confirmed to be running.
What is the problem?
CAUSE
The above error can be caused by invalid values entered during the licensing phase of installing SPSS Statistics/Modeler or the client machine cannot reach the Sentinel License Manager host using the machine Hostname.
ANSWER
Please do the following to verify:
1. Navigate to the IBM SPSS Statistics/Modeler directory and open "spssprod.inf", using any text editor.
- By default, SPSS Statistics would store this file in: C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\xx\
- By default, SPSS Modeler would store this file in: C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Modeler\xx.x\bin\
2. Verify the "DaemonHost" value matches the Hostname or IP Address of the machine where the Safenet Sentinel License Manager is installed.
- E.g. DaemonHost=MyLicenseServer or DaemonHost=127.0.0.1
If the DaemonHost value specifies redundant license servers, please do the following if you are using SPSS Statistics 22 (or earlier) or SPSS Modeler 16.0 (or earlier):
a). Remove all license servers from the "DaemonHost" line and save the file.
b). Create a system environment variable, called LSHOST, on each SPSS client with your redundant license servers as its value. Separate each redundant license server with a colon, e.g.
==========================
Variable: LSHOST
Value: server1:server2:server3
==========================
If the "DaemonHost" value is accurate and you are using a Hostname value, you have a name resolution problem. Error # 2070, Symptom number 3 typically means the SPSS client cannot connect to the name resolution database or the name resolution database does not contain a record for the machine where the SPSS Sentinel License Manager resides. To verify, please do the following:
1. Run lswhere.exe (which is located in the SPSS directory, see above) from the problematic SPSS Client machine and take note of the displayed output. The following is an example of the output:
==========================
Sentinel LM 8.x.x Search Tool For License Servers
Copyright (C) 20xx Rainbow Technologies, Inc.
Server Address : xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Server Name : Machine_A
==========================
If the Safenet Sentinel License Manager machine is not listed or you encounter the error, "Error[17]: Probably no servers are running on this subnet.", please add the following system environment variable to the IBM SPSS Statistics/Modeler client and run lswhere.exe again:
==========================
Variable: LSHOST
Value: Name or IP address of the License Manager machine
==========================
For information about defining environment variables, see the Network License Administrator's Guide. If using the LSHOST environment variable does not render the Safenet Sentinel License Manager machine, try using LSFORCEHOST instead.
2. When you see the Safenet Sentinel License Manager machine name and corresponding IP address listed in the lswhere output, ping the displayed Server Name from a command line, e.g.
==========================
ping Machine_A
==========================
An example of the resulting output is as follows:
==========================
Unknown host Machine_A
==========================
If the ping command is unable to resolve the Server Name, you have a name resolution problem and must address it (with help from your IT Administrator/Help Desk team) before IBM SPSS Statistics/Modeler can acquire a license from the Sentinel License Manager.

On several client machines, launching our data analysis tool shows a licensing error and then says the licensing service isn’t reachable, even though the license manager seems to be running. What steps can I take to verify that the client is pointing to the correct license host and that the host name can be resolved on the network?
|
The above error can be caused by invalid values entered during the licensing phase of installing SPSS Statistics/Modeler or the client machine cannot reach the Sentinel License Manager host using the machine Hostname.

Error #2070 I purchased the SPSS grad pack and put one of the licenses on one computer and another on this one. This computer crashed and I was forced to reformat the hard drive. Subsequently, I lost SPSS in the process. After reinstalling the program, when I attempted to open a data set I received this error:
Error #2070 The application is unable to communicate properly with the license server. The license server may be down, or there may be other network-related communication or DNS issues interfering. This command is not executed. Specific symptom number: 3. WHat is causing this?

IBM In FileNet Workplace XT .csv files open as a text file instead of using MS Excel - United States Mime type TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
THIS DOCUMENT APPLIES ONLY TO THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGE VERSION(S):
US English
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
The .csv file was created through WorkplaceXT and it only can be opened as the text file instead of the Excel file
SYMPTOM
The .csv file can be opened as the Excel from ACCE and outside of WorkplaceXT but not from inside of the WorkplaceXT
CAUSE
Mime Type was not set correctly when creating the .csv documents via WorkplaceXT
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
When creating a .csv document through ACCE, the mime Type is "application/vnd.ms-excel" shown under the Properties tab and Content Element tab.
* When adding a .csv document through WorkplaceXT, the mime Type shows "text/csv" from the Properties tab and Content Element tab in ACCE.
* Verify if the .csv document with the mime Type "application/vnd.ms-excel" is opened as Excel file in WorkplaceXT
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Add a section to Web.xml mapping the extension to the mime type:
*
* <mime-mapping>
<extension>csv</extension>
<mime-type>application/vnd.ms-excel</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
|
One of my data exports ends up opening as a plain text file inside our workspace, even though the same type of export from another workflow opens as a proper spreadsheet. I want to make sure this file type is always treated as a spreadsheet, no matter how it's created—what changes should I make to enforce that behavior?
|
Add a section to Web.xml mapping the extension to the mime type:

IBM Product upgrade installed a second instance of the DE, causing upgrade failure. - United States DEL2INST; Tivoli; Deployment; Engine; FQDN; Duplicate; acsi TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
The Deployment Engine should only have one instance installed on a server with IBM products installed. In this case, a second DE was installed, which caused the failure of the Product upgrade.
Error: Wrong Deployment Engine.
SYMPTOM
Product install failed. You will get a message similar to this:
You are updating an instance of <Product name> that was installed using
the Tivoli Deployment Engine (DE) located at "/home/nc_admin/.acsi_<Fully Qualified hostname>".
However you are now using the DE located at "/home/nc_admin/.acsi_<hostname>".
When the DE is installed as non-root ( in this case nc_admin ), it will install the DE in the user home directory, in this case /home/nc_admin, and use the FQDN in the name: /home/nc_admin/.acsi_<Fully Qualified hostname>
CAUSE
Because the two Product installs used different versions of JVM, the underlying Java is using "hostname" for one version of JVM, and "Fully Qualified hostname" for the other. The DE normally uses the FQDN appended to the "acsi_" string to create the DE directory:
For example, if the Product is being installed as user "nc_admin" and the entry in /etc/hosts is this:
x.xx.xxx.xx server_name.corporation.net server_name
The hostname is "server_name"
Fully Qualified hostname (FQDN) is "server_name.corporation.net"
ENVIRONMENT
Upgrading existing product that uses the Deployment Engine on a UNIX server
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
Output similar to this when the Product install fails:
the Tivoli Deployment Engine (DE) located at "/home/nc_admin/.acsi_<Fully qualified hostname>".
However you are now using the DE located at "<User_home>/nc_admin/.acsi_<hostname>"
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
There are two options to fix this problem.
1) Make sure the current upgrade is using the same version of JVM as the original install.
2) Removing the newly created DE, which shouldn't have been created, then creating a link to the existing DE is the best work around in this case. The Product upgrade will see the link and add the information to the valid DE install.
*IMPORTANT NOTE: The Product install failure message will tell you what instance of the DE is valid, please refer to the error message in the "Symptom" section above.
At this point there will be the following in the DE_HOME directory:
.acsi_<FQDN> ( Valid DE installation )
.acsi_<userid> ( link to .acsi_<FQDN> )
.acsi_<hostname> ( Invalid DE directory created by the failed Product upgrade )
This can be confirmed by referring to the Product install error.
Removing the invalid DE and creating softlink:
- Backup the original DE installation directory: <DE_HOME>/.acsi_<FQDN>
- Move the new invalid DE directory to a backup directory: <DE_HOME>/.acsi_<hostname>
- Create a soft link to the "good" DE install
cd <DE_HOME>
ln -s <DE_HOME>/.acsi_<FQDN> .acsi_<hostname>
- Confirm the link was created successfully, it should look like this:
> ls -lart
lrwxrwxrwx 1 nc_admin ncoadmin <date> .acsi_<hostname> -> <DE_HOME>/.acsi_<FQDN>
3) Retry the product install. You will need to confirm there is no required cleanup before retrying the Product upgrade.
|
During a server upgrade, I keep seeing a message that the upgrade is tied to one copy of the installer in a user-directory path, but the process is running from a different location. I can see two separate folders that look like the upgrade tool was installed in, one in the user’s home directory and another elsewhere, and the notice says there should be a single active copy. What does this discrepancy mean, and what would the expected state be so I can try again without causing further issues?
|

Product upgrade installed a second instance of the DE, causing upgrade failure. The Deployment Engine should only have one instance installed on a server with IBM products installed. In this case, a second DE was installed, which caused the failure of the Product upgrade. Error: Wrong Deployment Engine.
Product install failed. You will get a message similar to this: You are updating an instance of (Product name) that was installed using the Tivoli Deployment Engine (DE) located at "/home/nc_admin/.acsi_FQDN". However you are now using the DE located at "/home/nc_admin/.acsi_HOSTNAME".
When the DE is installed as non-root ( in this case nc_admin ), it will install the DE in the user home directory, in this case /home/nc_admin, and use the FQDN in the name: /home/nc_admin/.acsi_FQDN

IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliance MQ Manager Object's connections are not closed as expected. - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA appliance MQ Manager Object's connections are not closed as expected. This can happen when the mq-qm object uses the default value which is an empty string.
CAUSE
DataPower MQ manager object's idle connection is not closed when using default cache timeout.
ANSWER
Change the cache timeout on the IBM WebSphere DataPower MQ manager (mq-qm) object. You can start using a value of 60 seconds as the suggestion. The best practice is to use a value which should be less than the KeepAlive Timeout of the MQ Queue Manager (qmgr).
|
Idle connections to a backend messaging system aren’t closing after being idle. What starting value should I set so those idle links are dropped, and is there a guideline to keep that value under the remote system’s keep-alive interval?

AFFECTED PRODUCTS AND VERSIONS
This vulnerability affects all versions and releases of IBM HTTP Server (IHS) component in all editions of WebSphere Application Server and bundling products.
REMEDIATION/FIXES
There is no separate interim fix for the PI27904 APAR that is associated with this issue, but the interim fix for APAR PI31516 (TLS Padding Vulnerability CVE-2014-8730 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21692502]) includes the update for APAR PI27904. APAR PI27904 update disables SSLv3 by default for IHS 7.0 and newer, and adds the 'SSLProtocolEnable' directive into IHS 7.0.
The update for PI27904 will be included in fix packs 7.0.0.37, 8.0.0.10 and 8.5.5.4.
WORKAROUNDS AND MITIGATIONS
For all releases and versions of Apache based IBM HTTP Server, IBM recommends disabling SSLv3:
Add the following directive to the httpd.conf file to disable SSLv3 and SSLv2 for each context that contains "SSLEnable":
# Disable SSLv3 for CVE-2014-3566
# SSLv2 is disabled in V8R0 and later by default, and in typical V7
# and earlier configurations disabled implicitly when SSLv3 ciphers
# are configured with SSLCipherSpec.
SSLProtocolDisable SSLv3 SSLv2
Stop and restart IHS for the changes to take affect.
Note:
* If you start IHS with the -f command line argument, or you use the "Include" directive to include alternate configuration files, you may need to search those filenames for SSLEnable.
* If you configure SSL with SSLEnable in the global (non-virtualhost) scope, you will need to move SSLEnable into a virtualhost scope to add SSLProtocolDisable
IBM recommends that you review your entire environment to identify other areas that enable SSLv3 protocol and take appropriate mitigation (such as disabling SSLv3) and remediation actions. GET NOTIFIED ABOUT FUTURE SECURITY BULLETINS

The first step is to verify that the network is functioning correctly using these commands:
show int
show int mode
show route
Those commands will show if there is any network activity as well as the ethernet link speed.
Once the network is confirmed, the quickest way to recover the web management and ssh services is to delete and recreate them with the default settings using the serial console.
The following commands will reset the RBM's, ACL's, WebGUI and SSH services to the default settings.
Note: If the ssh is working, you may omit any commands with the ssh.
config
web-mgmt
no ssl
exit
write mem
y
no web-mgmt
no ssh
rbm
reset
exit
acl web-mgmt
reset
exit
acl ssh
reset
exit
write mem (key step to remove the current settings)

ssh <ip to listen on or 0.0.0.0 for all> <port to use default is22>
write mem
y
Once complete, test the service and confirm you can now access the appliance. Then you may work to configure any custom certificates or authentication settings desired.
If this does not resolve the issue Contact DataPower Support [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21236322]

Since I upgraded the firmware, I can’t access the admin panel or log in remotely. I suspect my management certificates expired during the upgrade, and I’m worried about losing configured settings if I reset things. What steps should I take to first confirm the network is healthy and then safely restore access by returning the management setup to default so I can reconfigure credentials and certificates?

IBM BigFix Server unable to gather site content from sync.bigfix.com (error: Unexpected HTTP response: 404) - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Identifying a block between the BigFix Server and IBM BigFix's sync.bigfix.com content servers.
SYMPTOM
Error messages similar to the following in the BESRelay.log on the BigFix server:
*
*
* http://sync.bigfix.com/cgi-bin/bfgather/bessupport?Time=1452540085:
*
*
*
*
* Error messages similar to the following in the GatherDB.log on the BigFix server:
Mon, 11 Jan 2016 14:43:22 -0500 -- Unexpected exception during gather of site BES Support: Unexpected HTTP response: 404
Note: If the BES Support cannot gather for the first time the entire console is empty of its UI elements.
CAUSE
1. There is most likely an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) between the BigFix server and our content sites at sync.bigfix.com that is dropping the download because it is detecting something in the download (one of the sites files) as being malicious. If you do not have an IPS between the BigFix server and the sync.bigfix.com servers; it may be the firewall or proxy appliance that is causing the issue.
2. Another cause might be that Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration is enabled for Administrators on the BigFix Windows server machine.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
1. Check with the firewall/proxy/IPS/network admin and ask them to check the logs for dropped packets or downloads and to adjust the rules to allow the BES Support site content through.
2. Try turning off Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration [https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/chenley/2011/03/10/how-to-turn-off-internet-explorer-enhanced-security-configuration/] for Administrators to see if this resolves the issue.
|
I'm seeing an issue where our central service can't pull the latest content from the official source, and the dashboard stays blank on the first try. The request returns an HTTP 404. It seems something on the network path between our box and the content site could be blocking the download, and I'm wondering if local admin security settings could be part of the problem. What should I verify to figure out what's going on and get the content loaded?

PROBLEM SUMMARY
* ****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application *
* Server *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Virtual member manager (VMM) throws *
* InvalidUniqueNameException when the *
* login attribute value contains an *
* equal sign "=". *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: *
****************************************************************
VMM throws InvalidUniqueNameException when the login attribute
value contains a "=". When an equal sign "=" is encountered in
the login name for example 'tw=admin', VMM treats this as a
distinguished name (DN) and hence the login fails.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION
* You need to set a custom property using the following
command
$AdminTask configureAdminWIMUserRegistry {-customProperties
{"com.ibm.ws.wim.registry.allowDNPrincipalNameAsLiteral
=true"} }
When this property is set, VMM determines whether the login
name ends with a baseEntry. If the login name does not end
with a baseEntry it is not treated as a DN and the login is
successful.
The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 8.0.0.4 and 8.5.0.1. Please refer to the

Why does my login fail when I use the ltpa-usrnm attribute? You use a Domino server as your LDAP, and the login attribute you want to use is ltpa-usrnm. This is acceptable, as the login attribute can be set accordingly in the wimconfig.xml. When the search string is built for the login, it is in the form, cn=username, o=orgname.
This cause the following exception to the returned:
[3/30/16 9:56:03:453 CDT] 000000f7 exception E com.ibm.ws.wim.adapter.ldap.LdapConnection getAttributes CWWIM4520E The 'javax.naming.InvalidNameException: "CN=username/O=orgname": [LDAP: error code 34 - Invalid DN Syntax]; remaining name '"CN=username/O=orgname'";

IBM Command Line configuration for J2EE Data Collector - United States ITCAM; J2EE; CLI; configurator; CAMJ2ALL; CAMJ2INST TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
Command Line configuration for J2EE DC is not working as expected when trying to enable MS or TT features.
CAUSE
Interactive CLI configuration is not supported with ITCAM J2EE 7.1.1, including last available level 7.1.1.0.4.
ANSWER
Supported methods are GUI and silent configuration.
Also, silent configuration fully works both on UNIX and Windows platforms only at level 7.1.1.0.4.
Before this maintenance level there were issues and limitations with Managing Server and Transaction Tracking integration.
Support Command Line configuration for J2EE DC will possibly be added in some future patch via Request For Enhancement.
|
I’m trying to enable two optional data-collection features from a text-driven setup on a 7.1.1 release, but the process isn’t working as expected while the GUI flow works fine. Is there a supported way to configure these without any prompts, and does it only function on the 7.1.1.0.4 level across both UNIX and Windows?

IBM Limitations when deploying more than one Rule Execution Server console - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
It is possible to deploy several Rule Execution Server (RES) Console in the same cluster, however there are some administrative interactions from RES components to RES console that may not work due to the presence of more than one RES management stack within the same administrative scope.
SYMPTOM
When a RES component makes an attempt to interact with a RES Console management stack (through a JMX invocation) the following exception may occur if more than one RES Console is deployed within an administrative cell:
...
java.lang.IllegalStateException
at ilog.rules.res.mbean.util.IlrSingleMBeanInvocationHandler.invoke(Unknown Source)
...
Note: a similar exception can be seen when no RES Console is found so the first thing to verify is that a RES Console is completely deployed and that it passes the diagnostic properly before considering the issue in this present note.
CAUSE
The scope of the management API (JMX) is typically that of the Cell (WebSphere), Domain (Weblogic) or Partition(JBoss). RES components that interact directly with the RES Console management stack normally expect to find exactly one RES Console within the this management scope : an error can arise from not finding a RES Console management stack, as well as finding more than one.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Certain use cases are supported that involve deploying more than one RES console in a cluster, most notably for situations where a active/passive fail over is needed, see the following document for more information: Clustering Rule Execution Server (RES) management console [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21426014]
However there is a number of limitations that one can face when several RES consoles are deployed within the same administrative cell, such as :
1. The use of the API ilog.rules.session.IlrManagementSession (reference [http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/brjrules/v7r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.ilog.jrules.doc/html/api/html/ilog/rules/res/session/IlrManagementSession.html]) may fail with a java.lang.IllegalStateException as per the symptom above. In this situation, the only option is to deploy a single RES Console per cell.
2. With JRules 6.x deploying RSM in a cell where more than one RES console is deployed can lead to java.lang.IllegalStateException as per the symptom above when attempting to add an SSP through the RSM console.
3. With JRules 7.x DVS scenario suite executions initiated from Rule Studio to be run on a remote Java EE server in a cell where more than one RES console is deployed may fail with java.lang.IllegalStateException as per the symptom above.
4. The use of interceptors (i.e. IlrSessionInterceptor implementations) may fail with a java.lang.IllegalStateException or an error message such as ilog.rules.res.session.interceptor.IlrSessionInterceptorException: Unable to find RuleApp /myruleapp/myruleset for use by the interceptor. In this situation, the only option is to deploy a single RES Console per cell.
For situations 2. and 3. note that DVS and RSM are normally deployed in a non-production environment since they support the testing process of the rules prior to their deployment to production. So in practice it is not necessary to deploy multiple RES console instances for fail over purpose when in a testing environment. The recommendation is then to set up RES console and SSP in a testing cell that is separate from the production cell. In this testing cell, only one instance of RES console should be installed.

Two administration panels in the same cluster are causing errors when they try to talk to the shared management interface, sometimes saying there should be only one and other times that none is found. Is having multiple panels in the same cluster supported, and if not, what’s the recommended setup to maintain failover without these errors (and any guidance for testing versus production)?
|
It is possible to deploy several Rule Execution Server (RES) Console in the same cluster, however there are some administrative interactions from RES components to RES console that may not work due to the presence of more than one RES management stack within the same administrative scope.

Rules view statistics shows no statistics
We converted the single RulesMgrSvr in a cluster and added a second RulesMgrSvr member on another node.
The rules console on the first node works fine.
On the second member view statistics fails, no statistics or error messages are shown

IBM How do I change the default 'fit content by' behaviour of Daeja viewer in IBM Content Navigator, to fit content by height or width? - United States fit by height; fit by width; fit; default fit; Daeja viewer; FileNet viewer; Daeja; scale TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
How do I change the default 'fit content by' behaviour of Daeja viewer in IBM Content Navigator, to fit content by height or width?
ANSWER
In Content Navigator v2.0.2
In the ..navigator.war/applets/filenetViewer_properties.jsp file, set the value of the parameter 'scale' as follows
To fit content by width, specify - scale: "ftow",
To fit content by height, specify - scale: "ftoh",
Here's another way to modify the behaviour:
* make the same changes above to the filenetViewer_properties.jsp under ECMClient\configure\explodedformat\navigator\applets folder.
* Rebuild and redeploy the ear file.
* Restart the application server
Save the changes and they should get picked up when the viewer is re-launched.
In Content Navigator v2.0.3
The same parameter-value pair mentioned above can be added in the Additional Settings section of the Daeja ViewONE panel, of the admin desktop. Add the parameter-value pair to the Additional Settings section of
* the Professional tab for modifying the behaviour of the Daeja Professional viewer
* the Virtual tab for modifying the behaviour of the Daeja Virtual viewer.
Click New in the Additional Settings section to add the parameter-value pair. Save the changes and they should get picked up when the viewer is re-launched.

Whenever I open a document in our organization’s viewer, it automatically scales to fit the page width. I want a global default that instead uses the taller dimension so the full page is visible without horizontal scrolling, and I don’t want to set this per file. Is there a way to apply this setting system-wide and have it stick after I open the viewer again?

IBM Security Cache, LTPA Token, and Session Time Outs - United States session; cache; logout; login; timeout; time out; LTPA TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
What happens when the Security Cache, LTPA Token timeout, and session time out?
ANSWER
Question 1
What happens when the Security Cache times out? Will the user be asked to re-login?
Answer 1
No. When using single sign-on (SSO), the Security Cache will refresh from the LTPA Token. If your LTPA Token is also expired, then the user will be asked to re-login. Also, the cache timeout period is reset every time that entry is hit. So, if the entry is hit 9 minutes into the 10 minute timeout period, the clock is reset at that time. So, instead of timing out in another minute, it is now reset for another 10 minutes, then if it's hit again in that time, it will get extended again.
When using Local operating system for authentication, the user will be asked to login when the session times out, not the security cache.
In V6.1, the Federated Repository has it's own cache settings. See the link under Related Information.
Question 2
1. Using a browser, we accessed a secured application, we provided the UserID (UserA) and a valid PW (Password1). A token was created. So far everything is working fine.
2. You manually changed the password for UserA in the LTPA (LDAP or custom registry) from Password1 to Password2.
3. Using a new browser we accessed the application providing UserA and the new password (Password2) a token was created and again everything is working as expected.
4. Using a another new browser we accessed the application providing UserA and the old password (Password1). You were surprised to notice that a token was created and UserA was able to access the application.
Answer 2
The old password takes up to 1.5 times the security cache to disappear. It will also expire at the end of the LTPA token timeout.
In IBM WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2 and later, you can purge a user from the security cache using an MBean interface. See the Related Information at the end of this article.
Question 3
I want to force my users to re-login after a set "inactivity timeout" period. How is WebSphere Application Server supposed to work with regard to session timeouts and LTPA timeout. Answer 3
See the answer to this question in item 9 of the following developerWorks article:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/techjournal/1003_botzum/1003_botzum.html [http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/techjournal/1003_botzum/1003_botzum.html]
Question 4
If this is the case, can we expire or delete the LTPAToken cookie when the session expires? If so, what mechanism should we use?
Answer 4
You can manually perform a form-based logout (as described in the Information Center) to request that the LTPAToken cookie be destroyed in the web browser, but within WebSphere Application Server, there is no functionality to automatically perform the form-based logout when the session times out. This would have to be performed programmatically.

After someone updates their password, another device can still sign in using the old credentials for a while. How long can that lingering access remain, and does it end at the same time as the current session or on a separate security timer?

IBM Format of XML-type ruleset parameters in SOAP messages with MTDS - United States XSD; schema; SOAP; web service TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
How to format the value of an XML-type ruleset parameter in the SOAP request to a Monitored Transparent Decision Service (MTDS) ?
CAUSE
As mentioned in the documentation for MTDS, XML parameters are represented by a String in the WSDL file.
ANSWER
The value of the parameter is the XML data corresponding to your input parameter XSD, either passed in a CDATA section or by escaping the XML special characters (replacing <, >, ", ' and & with <, >, ", ' and &).

IBM Exported dates to IBM FileNet Content Engine are one day off in IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture - United States FileNet P8; FNP8; Export; yesterday; GMT; UTC TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Dates exported to IBM FileNet P8 Content Engine show yesterday's date when viewed by an IBM FileNet Content Engine client
CAUSE
IBM FileNet Content Engine stores all time stamps using UTC format. If a date is passed into IBM FileNet Content Engine with no time component then the time defaults to midnight UTC, which may indicate the prior date when converted back into local time.
Taskmaster does not convert or handle dates in GMT/UTC and thus any date values must be formatted by the application rules prior to export to IBM FileNet Content Engine
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Modify the date/time value into proper GMT/UTC format of YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM[:SS] and then add a time offset to account for the GMT time difference, e.g. YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS-HH:MM, prior to export to FileNet P8.
The action IsFieldDateWithReformat from the Validations library can be called with a parameter of "s" (no quotation marks) to format a local date/time value to UTC; a GMT offset can be appended to a UTC value with any standard action such as rrSet from the rrunner library.
Example 1:
Description Field Value (Case A) Field Value (Case B) Data captured 05/31/2012 15:00 05/31/2012 IsFieldDateWithReformat(s) 2012-05-31T15:00:00 2012-05-31T00:00:00 rrSet(@F+-07:00,@F) 2012-05-31T15:00:00-07:00 2012-03-15T00:00:00-07:00 Here the initial field value is first transformed to UTC. The rrSet action is called to append the GMT offset "-07:00" to the field value.
Example 2: Description Field Value (Case A) Field Value (Case B) Data captured 05/31/2012 15:00 05/31/2012 IsFieldDateWithReformat(s) 2012-05-31T15:00:00 2012-05-31T00:00:00 rrSet(@F+@CHR(43)+07:00,@F) 2012-05-31T15:00:00+07:00 2012-03-15T00:00:00+07:00 Here the initial field value is first transformed to UTC. The rrSet action is called to append the GMT offset "+07:00" to the field value, @CHR is used to avoid conflict with the concatenation operator.
Note: IBM FileNet Content Engine may have a back end setting for Daylight Savings Time (DST), thus modifying the GMT offset to account for DST may not be necessary.

Why do some dates I export suddenly appear as the previous day when I view them later, even though I entered the time locally as 15:00? I’ve heard the destination system uses UTC and that a date without a time can shift after conversion. What format should I use to export timestamps so the calendar date stays the same, and how should I include the time-zone offset?

Modify the date/time value into proper GMT/UTC format of YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM[:SS] and then add a time offset to account for the GMT time difference, e.g. YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS-HH:MM, prior to export to FileNet P8.

Datetime export to FileNet Hi there
I created an application in Datacap that export to FileNet a Datetime field. In FEM I have a property type of Datetime. I'm using the following to send value to FileNet:
FNP8_SetProperty ("DataEmissao,@DATE(dd/MM/yyyy)+@STRING( )+@TIME(HH:MM),Datetime")
The export works fine, but if I check the Datetime property in FEM I can see that the TIME was stored wrong, exactly 3 hours less.
e.g:
Current Datetime is: 19/08/2013 18:10
Value stored in FEM: 19/08/2013 15:10
Can someone help me? What I'm doing wrong?

CAUSE
A limitation for remote deployment and silent installations indicates:
A silent installation terminates if product files are locked. This behavior ensures that the installer does not overwrite product files that are currently running. The best practice is to shut down all components, including monitoring servers, portal server, and portal clients before you perform any product upgrade. This limitation only affects silent installations. Installations through the installation wizard is not affected.
ENVIRONMENT
Any Windows version
Any ITM component installed silently
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
Look in <ITMHOME>\InstallITM for a file name with syntax similar to:
AbortIBMTivoliMonitoring<DATE TIME>.log
For example:
AbortIBMTivoliMonitoring20150409 1014.log
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Workaround: Use the following method to resolve the problem:
1. Search the installation log for instances of the CheckLockedFiles string. Locked files are listed at these places. Locked files are files that might need to be upgraded during an installation, and because they are in use (locked) the silent install terminates.
2. Identify the process that is locking the files.
3. Stop the process.
4. Prevent file locking by modifying the response file for installation file. This step is required when a silent installation has terminated.
a. Open the response file in a text editor. In many cases, the file in which you make this modification is named silent.txt. On Windows, the file to modify is the NT_Silent_Install.txt file that is located on the monitoring server.
b. Add the following line to the [INSTALLATION SECTION] area of your silent install response file:
Locked Files=continue
If you apply any other value or assign no value for this parameter, silent installations fail when locked files exist.
c. If Locked Files=continue is used in a silent install or remote deploy, the computer MUST be rebooted before ITM is brought up or another install is run. This is mandatory or the <ITMHOME> directory could become corrupt. If the <ITMHOME> directory becomes corrupt, all of ITM will have to be uninstalled and reinstalled.
5. Run the silent installation again.

During a remote upgrade, the installer stops and says some files in the installation folder are in use and can’t be replaced. What steps should I take to finish the upgrade safely, and do I need to reboot after making any change to the installer settings?

https://JazzSM_hostname:16311/tarf/servlet/dispatch
|
Since upgrading, clicking to open the report editor from the web portal does nothing in our browser; is there a direct URL I can use to launch it instead?
|
To resolve this issue, access the following Tivoli Common Reporting dispatcher link:
https://JazzSM_hostname:port/tarf/servlet/dispatch
|
Why I get pop-up message of "undefined" when accessing TCR 3.1.2.1 in IE 11? When I access Tivoli Common Reporting -> Launch -> Administration, will get repeated message window with content of "underfined". This happened only with IE11 and TCR 3.1.2.1

PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Collecting data for problems with the IBM WebSphere Application Server Object Request Broker component. Gathering this MustGather information before calling IBM support will help you understand the problem and save time analyzing the data.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
TAB NAVIGATION
* Learning more [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21245077]
* Troubleshooting [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21237101]
* Collecting data- selected tab,
Collecting data for problems with the IBM WebSphere Application Server Object Request Broker component. Gathering this MustGather information before calling IBM support will help you understand the problem and save time analyzing the data..
COLLECTING DATA MANUALLY
Object Request Broker specific MustGather information 1. Where does the problem occur? Between what components?
2. What is your topology?
3. What are the symptoms noticed?
4. How do you recover from this problem?
5. What are the hostnames of the Client and the Application Servers?
6. How often does this problem occur?
7. Is there a firewall installed between the failing components?
8. Can you successfully ping the server from the remote client? Can you ping the client from the remote server?
9. Has this problem always occurred or has it just started to occur? If it just started, what changes were made?
10. Clear out the logs in the install_root/logs directory, then recreate the problem.
11. Collect the following files: * The newly created logs.
* Answers to the preceding questions.
* For releases of WebSphere Application Server versions 5.0 and 6.0 * collector.[sh/bat] output
* Any additional information you think might relate (topology, symptoms, and so on) to IBM.
Note: Additional ORB, Security, or WLM traces might be required.
Additional MustGather information for ORB interoperability problems
1. What third-party ORB are you trying to use?
2. What version is the third-party ORB using?
3. What language is the third-party ORB using? (C++ or Java)
4. What platform is the third-party ORB running on?
5. What platform is WebSphere Application Server running on?
6. Does the problem or error occur consistently or randomly?
7. Is the problem reproducible? If so, what are the steps?
8. Is WebSphere Application Server being used as the server or client to the third-party ORB?
9. Has this worked before, or is this a new configuration?
10. Have you tried using the approach recommended in the CORBA Interop samples?
11. Where was the Interface Definition Language (IDL) compiled (what tool was used)?
Note: See the WebSphere Application Server detailed system requirements [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27006921] for the information related to the third party ORB Supported/Tested, then select WebSphere Version > Server Type > Search on third-party ORB in Software Requirements List.
A collector output is required for the WebSphere Application Server support team to troubleshoot an ORB issue. By providing the collector output, your configuration can be reviewed to help get a better understanding of your topology and settings.
* Detailed instructions on how to run the collector program can be found at the following link:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEQTP_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.nd.doc/ae/ttrb_runct.html [https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEQTP_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.nd.doc/ae/ttrb_runct.html]
Make sure you do not run the collector program from within the WebSphere Application Server product installation root directory. This will lead to an error. Make a working directory where you can start the collector program.
Once you have run the collector program from the dmgr, upload the collector.jar file that is created.
If specific ORB traces have been requested by the Application Server support team, use the following instructions:
NOTE: In most cases, support is going to need a matching client and server side trace to troubleshoot the issue. In some cases, they may even need traces from the nodeagent.
* WebSphere Application Server V6.1, V7.0, V8.0, and V8.5 ORB trace instructions
You can review the following video that walks you through setting up the ORB trace in the Administrative Console. It goes through each step listed below to make sure the ORB trace is enabled correctly.
1. From the Administrative Console, select Servers > Application Servers > server_name > Change Log Details Levels.
2. Remove any previous entries in the text field type the following:
*=info:ORBRas=all
3. Apply and save changes.
4. Select Servers > Application Servers > server_name > Diagnostic Trace Service.
5. Change the Maximum Number of Historical Files to 10 and maximum file size to 50mb
6. Apply and save changes.
7. Enabling Comm Trace:
Application Server
From the Administrative Console, Select Servers > Application Servers > server_name > Container Services > ORB Service. Select the Orb Tracing check box to enable Comm Tracing.
Node Agent
From the Administrative Console, select System Administration >Node Agent > nodeagent > ORB Service. Select the Orb Tracing check box to enable Comm Tracing.
Deployment Manager
From the Administrative Console, Select System Administration > Deployment Manager > ORB Service. Select the Orb Tracing check box to enable Comm Tracing.
NOTE: You will need to do a server restart for the Comm Tracing to be captured in the trace.log file. You can also leave the Orb Tracing check box checked permanently in case you run into another ORB issue in the future. That way, you don't have to do another server restart for the trace to be captured. Leaving the Orb Tracing check box checked won't log any data to a trace log unless you have the ORBRas=all trace string enabled (Step 2 above). This means it won't cause any performance issues or affect anything else in the server.
8. Apply and save changes.
9. Restart the sever and recreate the problem
10. Collect the following data:
profile_root/logs/server_name/trace.log
*
* profile_root
* /logs/ffdc folder
*
* NOTE:
*
* date
*
* time
*
*
* Stand Alone Java Client ORB Trace Instructions 1. Start the client program with the "-D" arguments to specify the trace settings
-Dcom.ibm.CORBA.Debug=true -Dcom.ibm.CORBA.CommTrace=true -Dcom.ibm.CORBA.Debug.Output=client.log
2. The ORB trace output is captured in the path pointed by com.ibm.CORBA.Debug.Output.
If the com.ibm.CORBA.Debug.Output parameter is not specified, the ORB trace output is captured in a unique trace file named orbtrc.<timestamp>.txt in the current directory of execution.
3. Collect the following file:
orbtrc.<timestamp>.txt
* J2EE Client Trace Instructions 1. Start the launchClient script with the following arguments to enable the trace:
install_root/bin/launchClient.sh <ear_file> -JVMOptions="-Dcom.ibm.CORBA.Debug=true -Dcom.ibm.CORBA.CommTrace=true" -CCtrace=ORBRas=all -CCtracefile=orbtrace.txt -CCtraceMode=basic
Note: For Windows installations, use launchClient.bat instead of launchClient.sh
2. The ORB trace output is captured in a unique trace file named orbtrace.txt in the current directory of execution.
3. Collect the following file:
orbtrace.txt

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"
C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.5\data\v6data\20\m00000021.mod\current.ver\s1000005.dtc
image
[/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.

Today I tried to open a critical project document to edit by myself, but the system returns an error that the file can't be found. It won't let me switch to a one-person edit mode and instead opens as read-only or with multiple people editing simultaneously. I logged in, navigated to the project folder, and selected the document, but the same message appears. What does this situation typically mean, and what steps should I take to keep my changes safe while the cause is being looked at?
|
This defect is resolved in IBM Rational DOORS Version 9.4.0.1
|
Cannot open module in exclusive edit - (no such file or directory) 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" How do I solve this?

IBM Data Server Manager (DSM) showing SQLCODE=-206 "<name> is not valid in the context where it is used." - United States SQLCODE 206 -206 SQL0206 SQL0206N DSM incompatible db2level fixpack fix pack db2iupdt TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Data Server Manager log files are full of SQLCODE=-206 "<name> is not valid in the context where it
is used." error
SYMPTOM
The symptoms can vary depending on each installation.
Most common scenario, DSM shows Data Pending status for the monitored database.
CAUSE
When you apply a new DB2 fixpack, the db2iupdt command is used to update an instance to a higher level within a release.
But that command does not necessarily update the database system catalog to support the new fix pack that you have installed.
Meaning, just because the db2level shows a higher level, your database can still be using routines from an older DB2 level.
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
One way to verify what routine levels your database is using, you can run the following DB2 command on the monitored database:
db2 "select versionnumber from sysibm.sysversions order by 1 desc"
If the results is showing a lower level than the ones DSM supports, that means your environment
is not supported, and you are getting the SQLCODE=-206 error.
To verify what are the DB2 levels supported by DSM, please refer to the links below:
- System requirements for IBM Data Server Manager, version 1.1.2 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27045176]
- System requirements for IBM Data Server Manager, version 2.1 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27048115]
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM

After adding a newer patch, the admin console still shows an unresolved state and won’t acknowledge the patch as applied. I ran a quick check and it reports a lower core version than what the system claims to support. What’s the best way to confirm exactly which version the core components are actually using, and what steps should I follow to bring them into alignment so the patch is properly acknowledged?

IBM PureApplication System Release Note: Some component attributes are not available to configure during pattern deployment - United States v2001rlsnotes RELEASE NOTES
ABSTRACT
Some component attributes are not available to configure during pattern deployment
CONTENT
Problem: If your virtual system pattern includes a component (such as an image, software component or script package) that has a data dependency on another component, but does not have any locked attributes, then the attributes for the component with the data dependency are not presented for configuration during pattern deployment.
Resolution: To show missing component attributes for configuration, lock any one of the attributes, such as the name attribute. This action causes the other component attributes to be displayed for configuration.
|
While configuring a two-part setup where one piece relies on information from the other, I’m seeing several options stay hidden during the initial steps. Is there a straightforward way to reveal those missing settings by changing just one field?
|
To show missing component attributes for configuration, lock any one of the attributes, such as the name attribute. This action causes the other component attributes to be displayed for configuration.
|
Missing option to fill in attributes when trying to deploy a pattern I tried to deploy a pattern and I have some parameters to modify at deployment time. But I can't see my parts/attributes in the Component Attribute List.

IBM "An invalid XML character" error is thrown when handling data originating from a WebSphere Adapter - United States Unicode invalid character 0x0 xml serialize serialization XSLT XLS error TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
WeBSphere Adapter is unable to process data from a source containing unicode data due to a serialization error in the broker indicating that "An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x0) was found in the element content".
SYMPTOM
When processing data using a broker that originates from a WebSphere JCA Adapter, you encounter an exception of the following form:
Source = java.lang.RuntimeException caught trying to serialize BO BusinessObject: F4211BeginDoc@382a382a (F4211FSBeginDoc=F4211FSBeginDoc@67e667e6) probeid = 214 Stack Dump = java.lang.RuntimeException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x0) was found in the element content:
This error occurs while you are performing data transformations within your broker, either for an XSLT or to enable monitoring or tracing of the data stream, and results in a flow failure.
CAUSE
The problem occurs when the source data contains unicode data which is not allowed in XML. In the above example, this is the unicode character 0x0, but there are a number of other unicode characters that can cause the same result. The problem does not occur in the WebSphere Adapter itself because the WebSphere Adapters are entirely capable of handling full unicode data. Rather, the problem happens in some brokers which fail to properly serialize the incoming data into a valid XML object.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
The only complete solution at this time is to not process unicode characters that are not valid in XML. This can be done by not importing data fields that might contain such characters or by purging such characters from the incoming data source. It is not sufficient to do filtering in the BO maps since the broker can still run into problems prior to this Java™ mapping.
If handling of fields containing these unicode characters is essential to your use case, it will be necessary to open a PMR with your broker's support team (rather than the WebSphere Adapter team) to determine if there are any alternatives available.
HISTORICAL NUMBER
75349
344
000
|
While processing a data stream, our workflow stops with an error whenever the incoming payload includes a character that isn’t allowed by the format, and this happens during a transformation step even though other records look fine; filtering later on doesn’t prevent the failure. What are the recommended ways to handle such characters before processing starts, and who should we contact if we need alternatives beyond basic filtering?
|
The only complete solution at this time is to not process unicode characters that are not valid in XML. This can be done by not importing data fields that might contain such characters or by purging such characters from the incoming data source.

IBM ERROR: Default DB path is not set, when adding database set on RHEL 5 - United States 1320206; ClearQuest; Command Line Tools; CQ; cqreg; add_dbset; initialize; CQ_DATABASES; CQDB_rgys; registry; db set; db_set; Default DB path is not set; Use cqreg initialize first; linux; RHEL; RHEL5 TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
This technote explains why the error, "Default DB path is not set", occurs when adding a connection with IBM® Rational® ClearQuest® on RedHat Enterprise Linux® (RHEL) 5.
SYMPTOM
When running the command cqreg add_dbset, this error occurs:
"Default DB path is not set"
"Default version is 7.0.0"
/opt/rational/clearquest/CQDB_rgys/cqdb_registry/7.0.0 does not exist. Use cqreg initialize first.
CAUSE
Normally, at the end of a ClearQuest installation on UNIX® based platforms, the cqreg initialize command runs automatically. The command creates the registry structure for database sets. During the installation, the command did not run successfully.
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
Verify that the CQDB_rgys directory exists, as defined in the installation options. The following is the default registry location:
/opt/rational/clearquest/CQDB_rgys/cqdb_registry/
If not present, then the cqreg initialize command was not successful.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Run cqreg initialize. The add_dbset command will run successfully afterwards. However, should the same error persist, make sure the command is run as the root user.
Also make sure that the CQ_DATABASES environment variable is set to the desired registry path. If it is not, set the variable accordingly, then run the previously mentioned commands again.
|
I'm trying to add a new connection on a Unix-like server, but I keep getting a message that there’s no default location for the data definitions and the folder that should hold them isn’t there. What steps should I take to get it working again, and could permissions or an environment variable be involved?
|
Run cqreg initialize. The add_dbset command will run successfully afterwards. However, should the same error persist, make sure the command is run as the root user.
Also make sure that the CQ_DATABASES environment variable is set to the desired registry path. If it is not, set the variable accordingly, then run the previously mentioned commands again.

IBM PureData Systems for Analytics - nzsql error, Records trailing spring space set to 512 is too small - United States netezza PDA TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
What does the message "ERROR: Records trailing spring space set to 512 is too small..." mean?
ANSWER
The following error may appear in the pg.log file:
ERROR: Records trailing spring space set to 512 is too small : Bump it up using the environment variable NZ_SPRINGFIELD_SIZE
This error can occur when a query includes multiple aggregates against varchar or nvarchar columns. As the query is being processed the system allocates memory for each row of the result set. This includes each of the GROUP BY columns and each of the aggregates. For queries doing aggregates on variable length columns, the total length of the record will vary during the process. For example, if the current min value is "Boston" and the new min value is "Albuquerque" space for the new min value needs to increase.
The NZ_SPRINGFIELD_SIZE is an extra pseudo-column that is tacked onto each row. It does not contain any data. It is a filler that starts out at NZ_SPRINGFIELD_SIZE and then dynamically shrinks and expands as needed to keep each of the aggregate rows at a fixed length. There is a single springfield in each grouping record that has to shrink and grow to offset the combined changes in width of the running values for all min/max aggregates.
To avoid this error message, increase the value for this parameter as follows:
1. nzstop
2. export NZ_SPRINGFIELD_SIZE=1024
3. nzstart
You can confirm that the environment variable took effect by running the command "nzsystem showregistry". The output should contain the following: "system.maxSpringFieldSize = 1024".
Unfortunately, the setting for NZ_SPRINGFIELD_SIZE will revert to its default value the next time the database is stopped and started without the NZ_SPRINGFIELD_SIZE environment variable being set. To ensure that the setting persists after every database restart, do the following:
1. Add the following line to the /nz/data/config/system.cfg file. (Create the file if it does not exist.)
system.maxSpringFieldSize = 1024
2. nzstop
3. nzstart
If 1024 does not work, try higher values. Setting the limit may take a little trial and error. Increasing this value should not have a noticeable impact on other system performance.
Note: "By default 512 bytes is allocated to each row taking part in aggregations. By increasing this value by 512 we allocate over 30MB more memory for every 1 000 000 rows participating in aggregations. This is for one query, there might be other queries in the system which do aggregations as well. The more memory that is allocated for NZ_SPRINGFIELD_SIZE (for each row) the less memory left for other processes. Having said this, it is not uncommon to see NZ_SPRINGFIELD_SIZE set to 8192 without consequence but care must be taken and one must still be aware of how increasing NZ_SPRINGFIELD_SIZE will impact resources, thus increase it wisely. "
HISTORICAL NUMBER
NZ755310
|
While running a report that groups by several text fields and computes multiple aggregates, the process stops with a note that the per-row space allocated for results is too small (it mentions 512). What would I adjust to give more room for these rows, and how can I make sure this setting sticks after restarts?
|
This error can occur when a query includes multiple aggregates against varchar or nvarchar columns. As the query is being processed the system allocates memory for each row of the result set. This includes each of the GROUP BY columns and each of the aggregates. For queries doing aggregates on variable length columns, the total length of the record will vary during the process.

6.2.2.3-TIV-ITM_HMC_BASE-IF0001
---------------------------------
APAR: IV47101
Abstract: NO CPU DATA DUE TO TIME OUTS ON HMC SSH CALLS
Additional information: In large environments, where there are more
than 150 LPARs on a server, the CPU Units used and CPU
Used Pct might display "Not Collected." The
kph_data_provider_<instance>_0.log displays the
following message:
--
SEVERE: SSHCommandExecutor.call: Timed out while waiting
for `lslparutil -m "<server>" -r "lpar" -s s -F
'lpar_id|time|time_cycles |
entitled_cycles|capped_cycles|uncapped_cycles| idle_cycles'
--
APAR: IV50134
Abstract: NO CPU DATA WHEN HMC TIME SET TO GMT FORMAT
Additional information: If the HMC time zone is set to a GMT format,
for example, GMT-08:00, CPU data might not be collected
because the data provider does not recognize the GMT
format and will default to using the local time zone.
When the data provider sends the commands to the HMC to
collect the CPU data, the start and stop times of the
commands might not be correct and might not receive any
data. It is also possible that data will be collected,
but for the wrong time frame.
APAR: IV50135
Abstract: NO DATA IN MEMORY AND PAGING SPACE VIEW
Additional information: The System workspace might not display any
data in the Memory and Paging Space views. This can
happen when the HMC commands:
---
monhmc -r swap -n 0
monhmc -r mem -n 0
---
return data in M bytes instead of k bytes:
---
Swap: 1992M total, 0M used, 1992M free, 2853M cached
Mem: 24336M total, 4534M used, 19801M free, 480M buffers
---
APAR: IV50686
Abstract: NO CPU DATA IN NON-ENGLISH LOCALE
Additional information: When the agent runs in a non-English locale,
attributes "CPU Units Used" and "CPU Used Pct" might
display as "Not Collected" due to a Java problem. The
kph_data_provider_0.log will have a message similar to
this:
---
WARNING:
ManagementConsoleInventoryItemBuilder$BasicDataCommand.
processResult: An error occurred while parsing the N2 date
field "Fri Sep 27 11:35:31 JST 2013". Continuing.
---
2.2 Defects
---------------
Defect: 207939
Abstract: Java CPCI - deadlock due to bad lock usage in some versions
of Java runtime
Additional information: Classloading and resource loading might get
locks in the wrong order, due to Java APAR IZ96933,
causing the data provider to stop collecting data. This
fix prevents the problem no matter what version of Java is
running.
Defect: 208541
Abstract: Add log messages to show data sent to kphagent
Additional information: At log level of FINEST, show the contents of
the rows of data sent from the data provider to the
kphagent process.

5.0 Installation instructions
==================
This fix can only be installed over an existing installation. Use
the following steps to install this fix.
5.1 Before installing the fix
------------------------------
- The prerequisites listed under section 3.1 entitled 'Prerequisites
for this fix' must be installed before this fix can be installed.
- For the purpose of this README, the symbol <CANDLEHOME> is the
IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory. The default value
for CANDLEHOME is '/opt/IBM/ITM' on UNIX systems and 'C:\IBM\ITM'
on Windows systems.
Before installing this fix on UNIX systems, set the environment
variable CANDLEHOME to the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation
directory.
For example:
> CANDLEHOME=/opt/IBM/ITM
> export CANDLEHOME
- Because there is no uninstall utility for this fix, make sure to
perform a backup of your environment before installing this fix.
5.2 Local agent update
--------------------------
1. Transfer the appropriate archive file
(6.2.2.3-TIV-ITM_HMC_BASE-IF0004.tar or .zip) to a temporary
directory on the system that contains the agent code to be
updated. For the purpose of this README, the symbol <TEMP>
represents the fully qualified path to this directory. Note: On
Windows systems, this path includes the drive letter.
2. Expand the archive file using the "tar" command on UNIX systems or
an extract utility on Windows systems. This step creates a
directory structure that contains fixes for all of the supported
platforms.
3. Use the "itmpatch" command to install the fix for the operating
system for that agent. For more information on the "itmpatch"
command, see section 6.2.
On UNIX systems, if the fix was expanded to
<TEMP>/6.2.2.3-TIV-ITM_HMC_BASE-IF0004, the install command is:
> itmpatch -h <CANDLEHOME>
-i <TEMP>/6.2.2.3-TIV-ITM_HMC_BASE-IF0004/kph_aix526_tema_if0004.tar
5.3 Remote agent update
----------------------------
1. Transfer the appropriate archive file
(6.2.2.3-TIV-ITM_HMC_BASE-IF0004.tar or .zip) to a temporary
directory on the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server system.
For the purpose of this README, the symbol <TEMP> represents the
fully qualified path to this directory. Note: On Windows systems,
this path includes the drive letter.
2. Expand the archive file using the "tar" command on UNIX systems or
an extract utility on Windows systems. This step creates a
directory structure that contains fixes for all of the supported
platforms.
3. To add the agent fix bundles into the remote deploy depot, use the
"tacmd addBundles" command found in $CANDLEHOME/bin on UNIX systems
or in %CANDLE_HOME%\bin on Windows systems. For more information
on the "tacmd addBundles" command, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring
Administrator's Guide.
On UNIX systems,
if the fix was expanded to <TEMP>/6.2.2.3-TIV-ITM_HMC_BASE-IF0004:
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd addBundles -n -i <TEMP>/6.2.2.3-TIV-ITM_HMC_BASE-IF0004
On Windows systems,
if the fix was expanded to <TEMP>\6.2.2.3-TIV-ITM_HMC_BASE-IF0004:
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd addBundles -n -i <TEMP>\6.2.2.3-TIV-ITM_HMC_BASE-IF0004
where:
-n indicates that prerequisite bundles are not automatically
added. The -n parameter must be used because the fix
directory does not contain any prerequisites that the fix
might require. Please see Section 3.1 for the prerequisites
for this fix.
-i is the directory that contains the deployment bundles to be
added to the depot.
4. To log in to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring server, and deploy
the fix to the appropriate nodes where the agent is running, use
the following "tacmd" commands. For more information on the
"tacmd login" and "tacmd updateAgent" commands, see the IBM Tivoli
Monitoring Administrator's Guide.
On UNIX systems:
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd login -s <server>
-u <itmuser>
-p <password>
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd listSystems
The output shows the Managed System Name for the OS agent on the
remote system to be updated. Use this value as the target of the
"tacmd updateAgent" command.
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd updateAgent -t ph
-n <Managed system name>
-v 062203004
On Windows systems:
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd login -s <server>
-u <itmuser>
-p <password>
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd listSystems
The output shows the Managed System Name for the OS agent on the
remote system to be updated. Use this value as the target of the
"tacmd updateAgent" command.
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd updateAgent -t PH
-n <Managed system name>
-v 062203004
Note:
- The component (-t) for the "tacmd updateAgent" command is
specified as two characters (PH), not three characters (KPH).
- The node (-n) for the "tacmd updateAgent" command is the managed
system name of the operating system (OS) agent to be updated.
The target node for the "tacmd updateAgent" command is always
an OS agent.
5.4 Agent support update
------------------------------
This fix 6.2.2.2-TIV-ITM_HMC_BASE-IF0004 includes changes to the agent
support files which need to be installed. Use the following steps to
update the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, Tivoli Enterprise
Portal Server, or Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop.
1. Transfer the appropriate archive file
(6.2.2.2-TIV-ITM_HMC_BASE-IF0004.tar or .zip) to the Tivoli
Enterprise Monitoring Servers, Tivoli Enterprise Portal Servers,
or Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktops.
2. Expand the archive file using the "tar" command on UNIX systems
or an extract utility on Windows systems. This step creates a
directory structure that contains fixes for all of the supported
platforms.
3. Expand the archive file (kph_tems_teps_tepd_if0004.tar or .zip)
that contains the updates for Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server,
Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, and Tivoli Enterprise Portal
Desktop using the "tar" command on UNIX systems or an extract
utility on Windows systems. This step creates a directory
structure that includes a subdirectory called CD-ROM, with the
necessary updates.
4. Use the Application Support Installer(ASI) GUI or the silent
installation method to install the application support files.
Note: For IBM Tivoli Monitoring Version 6.3 or above, one
of the following additional steps must be performed.
1. Acquire a platform-specific pre-packaged JRE version
of the Application Support Installer (ASI). See IBM
Tivoli Monitoring Application Support Installer,
6.2-tiv-itm_asi-if0003 at
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24034924 [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24034924]
for download and installation instructions.
-- OR --
2. Specify the '-j javahome' parameter with the path to
a Java(r) 1.5 or java 1.6 installation when running
the itmasi.sh or itmasi.bat script described below.
GUI installation option
------------------------
The GUI can be started by using one of the following commands
from within the CD-ROM directory where setup.jar is located.
On UNIX systems:
> ./itmasi.sh [-h <CANDLEHOME>] [-j <JAVAHOME>]
On Windows systems:
> itmasi [-h <CANDLEHOME>] [-j <JAVAHOME>]
When prompted by the Application Support Installer for the
installable media directory, select the CD-ROM directory, not the
component directory. The installer can install updates for
multiple components at the same time.
Silent installation option
--------------------------
To use the silent installation option, use one of the following
commands from within the CD-ROM directory where setup.jar is
located.
Note: Using the silent installation option for Linux and zLinux
operating systems requires the following files contained in
interim fix 6.2-TIV-ITM_ASI-IF0001:
- Linux: setupLinux.bin
- zLinux: setupLinux390.bin
Follow the installation instructions contained in the
"6.2-TIV-ITM_ASI-IF0001.README".
On UNIX systems:
> ./itmasi.sh -h <CANDLEHOME>[-silent]
[-r <response file>]
[-j <JAVAHOME>]
On Windows systems:
> itmasi -h <CANDLEHOME> [-silent]
[-r <response file>]
[-j <JAVAHOME>]
where:
-h <CANDLEHOME> - Required. The path to the IBM Tivoli
Monitoring installation directory.
-r <response file> - Optional. Customized response file name.
The default response file "response.txt" in
the CD-ROM directory can be copied and modified
for your environment. Do not update "response.txt".
-j <JAVAHOME> - Optional. The fully-qualified path to the "bin"
directory where Java(R) is installed. The
location of Java on your system might vary.
5. The next panel presented by the Application Support Installer asks
for the selection of which Tivoli Monitoring components you want
to add application support to. For this fix, check or clear the
check boxes as follows:
checked - Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (TEMS)
checked - Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server (TEPS)
checked - Tivoli Enterprise Desktop Client (TEPD)
Continue through the remaining GUI panels selecting the HMC Base
06.22.03.04 support to complete the installation.
6. If the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop or Tivoli Enterprise Portal
Browser was running when the update was installed, it must be
restarted.
6.0 Additional installation information
========================
For additional troubleshooting installation information, see the
itmpatch.log in the patchlogs directory in <CANDLEHOME>.
6.1 Installation instructions for agent baroc file
-----------------------------------------------------
This fix 6.2.2.2-TIV-ITM_HMC_BASE-IF0004 includes changes to the
agent baroc files that must be installed. Refer to IBM Tivoli
Monitoring Installation and Setup Guide under "Installing monitoring
agent baroc files on the event server" in "Installing the IBM Tivoli
Enterprise Console Event Synchronization" section for more
information.
6.2 Additional information on using "itmpatch" command
--------------------------------------------------------------
The "itmpatch" command has the following syntax:
Usage: itmpatch -h <installation home> [OPTIONS]
itmpatch -h <installation home>
-t { <patch_file_directory> | <patch_file> }
itmpatch -h <installation home>
-i { <patch_file_directory> | <patch_file> }
where:
-h Specifies the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory
-i Specifies the path to the directory or patch file to be installed
-t Generates a report of the actions to be taken by the patch
For example, on UNIX systems:
- To preview the fix installation, use the "-t" option:
> <CANDLEHOME>/bin/itmpatch -h <CANDLEHOME> -t <TEMP>
- To install the fix, use the "-i" option:
> <CANDLEHOME>/bin/itmpatch -h <CANDLEHOME> -i <TEMP>
where:
<CANDLEHOME> is the fully qualified IBM Tivoli Monitoring
installation directory. On Windows systems, this path must include
the drive letter.
<TEMP> represents the fully qualified directory specification where
the fix is located. On Windows systems, this must include the drive
letter.
6.3 Verifying the update
----------------------------
1. To verify the agent was updated correctly, use the "tacmd" command
to view the agent's current version after the agent is restarted.
You are required to log in to a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring
Server prior to viewing the agent version.
For example:
On UNIX systems, where $CANDLEHOME is the IBM Tivoli Monitoring
installation directory, the default location is '/opt/IBM/ITM'.
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd login -s <server>
-u <itmuser>
-p <password>
> $CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd listSystems -t PH
On Windows systems, where %CANDLE_HOME% is the IBM Tivoli
Monitoring installation directory, the default location
is 'C:\IBM\ITM'.
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd login -s <server>
-u <itmuser>
-p <password>
> %CANDLE_HOME%\bin\tacmd listSystems -t PH
Note: The component (-t) for the "tacmd listSystems" command is
specified as two characters (PH), not three characters (KPH).
When the agent update is successful, the agent version is:
06.22.03.04.
2. To verify the agent support files were updated correctly, use the
"kincinfo" command on Windows systems or the "cinfo" command on
Linux or UNIX systems. The sample output below shows the versions
of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, Tivoli Enterprise
Monitoring Server, or Tivoli Enterprise Portal Desktop systems
after this fix has been successfully applied.
Note: The displayed date of the build might not be accurate. This
is a known problem.
On UNIX or Linux systems:
-------------------------
To validate that all components have been installed, run the
following command:
./cinfo -i

IS THE WEBSPHERE MQ V7.0 RESOURCE ADAPTER SUPPORTED IN WEBSPHERE APPLICATION SERVER?
* Yes, the WebSphere MQ V7.0 Resource Adapter [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21248089#7dotx_0] shipped with WebSphere Application Server V8.0 and V7.0 is supported through 30 April 2018 [https://www.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?subtype=ca&infotype=an&appname=iSource&supplier=897&letternum=ENUS916-143], when both of those versions of WebSphere Application Server end support, or longer if you purchase a WebSphere Application Server support extension.
* 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.

IBM Security Bulletin: Vulnerability in Diffie-Hellman ciphers affects IBM Image Construction and CompositionTool. (CVE-2015-4000) - United States SECURITY BULLETIN
SUMMARY
The Logjam Attack on TLS connections using the Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange protocol affects IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool.
VULNERABILITY DETAILS
CVEID: CVE-2015-4000 [http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-4000]
DESCRIPTION: The TLS protocol could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the failure to properly convey a DHE_EXPORT ciphersuite choice. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using man-in-the-middle techniques to force a downgrade to 512-bit export-grade cipher. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to recover the session key as well as modify the contents of the traffic. This vulnerability is commonly referred to as "Logjam".
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/103294 [https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/103294] for the current score

While reviewing a security alert, I learned there could be a flaw in how our service negotiates cryptographic keys for connections that might let someone snoop on or tamper with data in transit. We're on an older release and can't push an update right away because of deployment constraints. How can I tell if our setup is affected, and what would upgrading involve in terms of expected changes and potential compatibility issues?

During a routine check, our service shows occasional freezes and higher memory usage whenever it receives a handful of oddly formed network replies. I've heard there are older flaws that could let someone trigger this remotely by sending those crafted replies. How worried should we be on an older build, and what would this mean for reliability?

During a troubleshooting session I started a backup of our data store and saved it to a temporary folder. I’m not confident I completed it correctly—how can I verify that the folder actually contains the expected .tab files, should I compress that folder, and should I also copy the system’s configuration file for reference? I may be able to provide the admin password if needed.

IBM Couldn't validate parameters error logging in with IBM Datacap - United States login connect couldnt validate parameters TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Users are unable to log in with any client to any application. The Taskmaster Server (tms) log shows:
Connect couldn't validate parameters
SYMPTOM
This is most commonly seen on a new installed Taskmaster Server. Users attempting to login will receive a message stating that they cannot connect to the admin database.
CAUSE
Encryption is not yet fully set up, so FIPS key information cannot be located.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
If this is a new server where Datacap has never been run and encryption has not been set up at all, follow the instructions at Exporting encryption keys [http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSZRWV_9.0.1/com.ibm.dc.install.doc/dcain011_copyto_cs1.htm].
If this is an existing server or a new server where the previous steps have been completed, distribute the dc_ktf.xml file to the client folder for all clients that will be used following the instructions at Importing encryption keys to Datacap computers [http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSZRWV_9.0.1/com.ibm.dc.install.doc/dcain010_copyto_wtminstall1.htm].

|
Freshly set up system, and users can’t log in from any client—every attempt ends with a message about not reaching the admin area. Our server logs point to an issue around the credentials validation step. We haven’t completed the initial security setup on this install yet. What should we check or do first to get things working again, including whether a particular config file needs to be copied to users’ machines?

IBM Identify the application that has a WMQ queue opened - United States Identify application program connected queue TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Your WebSphere MQ queue manager will not stop if there are applications that still have a queue opened. Your goal is to allow a graceful stop of the queue manager, also called controlled (or quiesced) shutdown.
For example, the following runmqsc command for the queue Q1 shows that there is an application currently that has opened a queue, but it does not provide application name, or process id number (PID). The value for OPPROCS indicates 1 application has opened the queue for output (for doing a PUT).
display qstatus(Q1)
1 : display qstatus(Q1)
AMQ8450: Display queue status details.
QUEUE(Q1) TYPE(QUEUE)
CURDEPTH(0) IPPROCS(0)
LGETDATE( ) LGETTIME( )
LPUTDATE( ) LPUTTIME( )
MEDIALOG( ) MONQ(OFF)
MSGAGE( ) OPPROCS(1)
QTIME( , ) UNCOM(NO)
You want to determine the name of the application that currently has a queue open,
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Use the runmqsc display connection command to find the process id (PID) and application name.
Using the above example of the queue Q1, this is the complete command to invoke under runmqsc:
display conn(*) where(objname eq Q1) all
Example output:
AMQ8276: Display Connection details.
CONN(ACBDC64820001B01)
EXTCONN(414D5143514D5F414E47454C494C4C4F)
TYPE(CONN)
PID(7364)TID(1)
APPLTAG(WebSphere MQ\bin\amqsput.exe)APPLTYPE(USER)
ASTATE(NONE) CHANNEL( )
CONNAME( ) CONNOPTS(MQCNO_SHARED_BINDING)
USERID(x) UOWLOG( )
UOWSTDA( ) UOWSTTI( )
UOWLOGDA( ) UOWLOGTI( )
URTYPE(QMGR)
EXTURID(XA_FORMATID[00000000] XA_GTRID[] XA_BQUAL[])
QMURID(0.0) UOWSTATE(NONE)
The following fields are of interest:
PID(7364) => Process id
APPLTAG(WebSphere MQ\bin\amqsput.exe) => name of the application
USERID(x) => Userid that has invoked the application
For UNIX users:
One of the main purposes for the above technique is to eventually kill the process that is connected to the queue manager.
a) One option is to use the STOP CONN command under runmqsc. Using the above example, the corresponding command would be:
STOP CONN(ACBDC64820001B01)
b) The following SupportPac can be used to identify the applications and kill them if desired:
MS6B: WebSphere MQ Connection Management Utility [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?&uid=swg24017810]
This SupportPac is Category 4 (which means that the IBM MQ Support team does not support it)

I'm trying to shut down our message handling system gracefully, but a queue still seems to be held by a running process; how can I identify the exact program and user tied to that queue so I can release it without causing an outage?
|
Use the runmqsc display connection command to find the process id (PID) and application name.
Using the above example of the queue Q1, this is the complete command to invoke under runmqsc:
display conn(*) where(objname eq Q1) all

Does ITCAM for MQ monitoring agent (kmq) use SYSTEM.MQXR.COMMAND.QUEUE causing Unknown Object Name [2085] event?
Using the ITCAM MQ Monitoring agent, we have a situation that generates alerts when a 2085 event (object unknown) occurs. We have recently seen alerts for the queue SYSTEM.MQXR.COMMAND.QUEUE
We found following technote:
Unknown Object Name [2085], SYSTEM.MQXR.COMMAND.QUEUE
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21681687
This technote does not mention Tivoli monitoring product, and only mentions monitoring products such as Nastel and InfraRed360.
Does Tivoli monitoring agent for WebSphere MQ use the SYSTEM.MQXR.COMMAND.QUEUE? We are try to find out which application is causing the 2085 event.

This document contains system requirements for WebSphere MQ V8.0 and a note about IBM WebSphere MQ Advanced entitlement.
CONTENT
IBM has provided customers with a Software Product Compatibility Reports (SPCR) tool where you can locate and find complete lists of supported operating systems, system requirements, prerequisites, and optional supported software for WebSphere MQ 8.0.
RHEL Compatible OS. Defect support is available for Linux environments that are fully compatible - both source and binary - with Red Hat Enterprise Linux V6. Unless stated otherwise, WebSphere MQ has not been specifically tested in such compatible environments. WebSphere MQ Support is therefore unable to assist in issues related to configuration and setup, or issues that are directly related to the linux environment itself. If issues arise that are related to the compatible linux environment, the user may need to contact the linux environment vendor for support, or the issue may need to be recreated inside an environment tested by IBM in order to receive WebSphere MQ support.
Virtualization. Defect support is available for virtualization environments where they relate to releases of this platform already supported by WebSphere MQ. Unless stated elsewhere in the system requirements WebSphere MQ has not been specifically tested in virtualization environments.
WebSphere MQ support is therefore unable to assist in issues related to configuration and setup, or issues that are directly related to the virtualization environment itself.
Please also refer to:
WebSphere MQ's support position on Virtualization, low-level hardware, file systems on networks and high availability. [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21392025]
The SPCR tool links to information about the minimum product levels that must be installed before opening a problem report with IBM WebSphere MQ Technical Support. The software versions and any maintenance levels listed in the tool have been explicitly verified as working.
Supported System Requirements:
The links below are located in the SPCR tool and go directly to the supported operating systems, prerequisites, system requirements, and optional supported software for the specific operating system.

I'm evaluating a software package for critical messaging workloads, but our current setup uses an OS version that's not listed in the compatibility guidance and it's running inside a virtualized host. If something goes wrong and the issue seems tied to the underlying system rather than the software itself, can I expect official help, or would I be advised to reproduce the problem in an environment that has been tested and verified?

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.

I'm trying to upgrade a piece of enterprise software, but the upgrade stops with a permissions error when it tries to start a routine from within the installation folder. The initial install was done by a regular user, and I’m running the upgrade with the same account. Is there a recommended way to grant the necessary rights so the upgrade can continue, maybe using a provided script that takes a couple of location paths as input?

IBM Datacap Taskmaster Capture ICR error code 12 - United States RecognizeFieldICR_C; Recostar; 12 TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
When performing field level ICR recognition using the action RecognizeFieldICR_C (), the batch aborts with error code 12.
SYMPTOM
From log file:
Executing 'RecognizeFieldEx' from 'Datacap.Recognition.Recostar.ICRCWrapperClass'. Parameter : <FieldName>
Recognition return status: 12(Not defined (not used))
CAUSE
The c_cr variable for ICR_C recognition is not set for the engine.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
In Datacap Studio, set the c_cr variable to USA prior to the call to recognition as follow:
SaveAsCurrentObjVariable("c_cr", "USA")
RecognizeFieldICR_C
|
While processing a particular field, my batch aborts with an error that the result for that field isn’t defined, and the log hints this happens before the recognition step. What does this usually mean in practice, and what kind of pre-step setting could be missing that would cause the recognition to stop?
|
In Datacap Studio, set the c_cr variable to USA prior to the call to recognition as follow:
SaveAsCurrentObjVariable("c_cr", "USA")
RecognizeFieldICR_C
|
RecognizePageFieldsICR_C aborts with Page Type change
I have an DeveloperWorks application that runs: Survey. In the application PageID Task there is a function that sets the Page Type to ReliefForm (based on a barcode)
Does anyone know why when I change the SetPageType to set another name, the RecognizePageFieldsICR_C in the Profiler Task aborts? If I put the name back the action runs fine.

IBM How to include Rational Rhapsody external source files into configuration MakeFile - United States external; AddToMakefile; build; make; File element; MakeFile; external object; external objects; make file TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
How can you configure the default setting of IBM Rational Rhapsody Developer Edition for C++ (RiC++) in order to include external source files into MakeFile?
CAUSE
In some cases, you want to import legacy source files into Rhapsody models as external elements. For those externally imported elements (classes and files), Rhapsody doesn't generate code, hence you can preserve legacy code as part of your existing model. However, by default, Rhapsody excludes those external elements from the build even though you turn CG::File::AddToMakefile [File::AddToMakefile] property on.
ANSWER
For general information regarding code generation for external elements, see "Code generation for external elements [http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/rhaphlp/v8/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.rhp.uml.diagrams.doc%2Ftopics%2Frhp_r_dm_cd_genrtion_extnl_elmts.html]" topic in Rhapsody Info Center. This technote will provide 3 solutions to allow the inclusion of external elements into the build.
Solution 1 - Use Component File element
*
*
* Add source file to the build
*
Solution 2 - Use File/Class element
*
*
*
*
* Note:
*
*
*
*
* Add a Class/File element to map the external source code into the model. Set property CG::Class::UseAsExternal as "checked" for the added element. Set property CG::File::AddToMakefile [File::AddToMakefile] as "checked". Set the path to the external file in property CG::Class:FileName to make Rhapsody aware the location of the external source code. The path info would be used in MakeFile generated by Rhapsody.
Note: Both absolute and relative path are supported. Right click the model element, from context menu, click Add New > SourceArtifact.
Note: In order to include this external model element into MakeFile, SourceArtifact is required for the external model element. To enable the display of SourceArtifact, make sure Top Menu > View > Browser Display Options > Show Source Artifacts is checked.
Make sure the type of added SourceArtifact is set either "Logical" or "Implementation" (DO NOT choose "Specification").
Rename SourceArtifact with the name of the external source code (e.g. rename the element to "hoo", if the external file name is "hoo.cpp"). Click [Elements] tab of the SourceArtifact to make sure the model element is correctly mapped in SourceArtifact. In case of Class, the mapping will be done automatically. For File, manually add its parent element to [Elements] tab as below:
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21621937&aid=1]
IMPORTANT: You might occasionally find the behavior of File is not consistent with Class. This is because File element is designed to be used as external element only, and not supposed to be built from Rhapsody. You are encouraged to use external Class element in RiC++ model to avoid any confusion you might experience. Generate MakeFile to make sure the external source file (e.g. hoo.obj) file is being added in the build.
Solution 3 - Use Additional Sources setting
*
*
* [Additional Sources]
*
* [Settings]
*
*
Note:

I'm trying to include some legacy external C++ code in my project so it builds alongside the rest, but it's not getting compiled even after I added it to the model. What practical options exist to ensure those external files are picked up by the build, for example by attaching them as a separate unit, mapping them into an existing element, or listing them as additional sources?
|
In some cases, you want to import legacy source files into Rhapsody models as external elements. For those externally imported elements (classes and files), Rhapsody doesn't generate code, hence you can preserve legacy code as part of your existing model. However, by default, Rhapsody excludes those external elements from the build even though you turn CG::File::AddToMakefile [File::AddToMakefile] property on.
|
About implementation and specification in a File entry of type Logical under Component I use Rhapsody for C++ and want to add a .c/.h file combo.
I know I can easily do this by adding 2 File entries under the Component level: one being Implementation type and the other Specification. Then add the appropriate code in the respective Text Elements.
Alternatively I can do the equivalent by having a single File entry of type Logical that will generate 2 files (and change the CG:ImplementationExternsion property changed to .c).
However when the type is set to Logical, I don't know where to place the code for the Implementation and the code for the Specification so that they end up each in the right file. Right now, whatever I put in the Text Element ends up in both files.
Does anyone know how I can indicate Rhapsody that "this code is the implementation (.c)" and "this code is the specification (.h)"?

One of our devices might be affected by a serious issue in a commonly used library that handles name lookups for external connections, which could let an attacker run code if they send a crafted identifier. We can’t patch it right away and our current version is older. Which exact newer builds include the fix, and should we also check other parts of our environment and the underlying system for any other vulnerable components?

IBM Can't disable DASH TimeSet and dataRefresh in Events configuration - United States DASHL2; timeSet; dataRefresh; Events; WIdgets.; Pages TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Any Widget added to a Page after the initial "Save" or "Save and Exit" will not retain the Events settings when trying to disable the TimeSet and dataRefresh Events in the Edit -> Events pull down configuration window.
SYMPTOM
TimeSet and dataRefresh Events can't be disabled after any "Save" for previous added Widgets on a Page.
CAUSE
This has been identified as a product defect under APAR IV83442
ENVIRONMENT
Any DASH version, this was a problem since DASH 3.1.0
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
Create a Page in DASH, add Widgets then save and exit. Access the Page again, edit the page to add another Widget, Edit the Events in the new Widget then unselect the TimeSet and dataRefresh options. Save the changes.
Edit the new Page:
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21984540&aid=1]
Unselect the TimeSet and dataRefresh options.
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21984540&aid=2]
After a "save" or "save and exit" you will see that they are enabled again.
[/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21984540&aid=3]
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Currently, the only workaround is to Place and configure the Events for all widgets wanted on the page before doing first "Save" or "Save and Exit". All widgets will retain values for subscribed events such as 'dataRefresh' and 'timeSet'
To use 'dataRefresh' and 'timeSet' properties of subscribed events for any widgets which are added after first "Save" or "Save and Exit", DASH support will need to be contacted.
Note: This issue is with the widgets which are placed on the page after first "Save" or "Save & Exit"
|
On a dashboard, I added a new panel after I’d already saved once. When I try to turn off two timing-related options for that new panel, they come back on after I save again. Is this a known issue, and what should I do to handle this for components added later?
|
This has been identified as a product defect under APAR IV83442
|
Why the tick boxes in 'Subscibed Events' table remain ticked after saving the page When editing a widget and try to unsubscribe the event subscription for 'dataRefresh' events, the checkbox/tick for "dataRferesh" is still selected, even after saving the page.

ABSTRACT
This Fix Pack will upgrade your SPSS Statistics 24.0 installation to SPSS Statistics 24.0 FP2 (24.0.0.2)
DOWNLOAD DESCRIPTION
This Fix Pack provides important product corrections for SPSS Statistics 24.0.
Issues Corrected and Release Note(s): Fix List [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27049686]
NOTE: The 24.0.0.2 Fix Pack contains all Interim Fixes made available for 24.0.0.0, as well as other corrected issues, and can be installed over any of the earlier Interim Fixes with no conflict.
PREREQUISITES
This Fix Pack is language independent but can only be installed over existing client and server installations of IBM SPSS Statistics 24.0.0.0
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installation Windows
1. Log in as a local administrator.
2. Download the Fix Pack to a temporary location on your hard drive.
3. Ensure that no versions of Statistics are running.
4. Run the Statistics 24.0.0.2 Fix Pack executable.
Note: you must use "Run as Administrator" by first right-clicking on the executable.
5. Statistics 24.0.0.2 is ready to run. Use the Help -> About menu to verify that 24.0.0.2 is now the installed version.
Guidelines for unattended/pushed installations for Windows-based clients: NOTE: This Fix Pack may require the machine to be rebooted to complete the installation. Please be aware that "pushing" the installation in unattended, silent mode may therefore force an unexpected machine reboot on a user, and schedule such installations accordingly.
The SPSS Statistics 24.0.0.2 for Windows Fix Pack obeys the same rules documented in the Site and Network License Administrator's Guides regarding "Extracting the Contents of a Downloaded Installer file" and "Pushing an Installation to Windows Computers".
In this case:
1. Download the appropriate installer file to a temporary location on your hard drive.
2. Open a command window as the local Administrator account and change directory to the temporary download location.
3. Extract the "SPSSStatistics24.0.0.2Patch.msi" and locale-specific .mst file into a specified location from the downloaded FixPack installer file, "24.0-IM-S24STATC-<OS>-FP002.exe",using the documented "/b" switch: 24.0-IM-S24STATC-<OS>-FP002.exe /b"c:\Stats24002FixPack" (where <OS> is your operating system)
4. You can then copy the two extracted files to a network share for easier distribution.
5. Install the patch:
msiexec /i "c:\Stats24002FixPack\SPSS_Statistics_24002_<OS>_Patch.msi" /qn /L*V "%temp%\SPSSStatistics24002PatchLog.txt" PYTHON_EXISTS="1" TRANSFORMS="c:\Stats24002FixPack\1033.mst"
(where <OS> is the same operating system specification as in step 3)
Installation Mac
1. Download and save the Statistics 24.0.0.2 Fix Pack to your local hard drive.
2. Ensure that no versions of Statistics are running.
3. Execute the Statistics 24.0.0.2 Fix Pack installer from the downloaded .dmg file.
4. Statistics 24.0.0.2 is ready to run. Use the About Statistics 24 menu to verify that 24.0.0.2 is the installed version.
IBM SPSS Statistics 24 release is supported on Apple Macintosh OS X 10.10.x (Yosemite) through macOS 10.12.x (Sierra)
Guidelines for unattended/pushed installations for Macintosh-based clients:
IBM SPSS Statistics 24 FixPack 2 for Mac OS X has a silent (push) installer. To install this FixPack on Mac systems, do the following:
1. Open the 24.0-IM-S24STATC-Mac-Silent-FP002.dmg disk image and copy the two files to your desktop (or any writable location).
2. Open a Terminal window and change directories to the location of the patch installer and installer.properties file.
3. Edit the installer.properties file to suit your needs. The USER_INSTALL_DIR parameter must be defined. For example, if the current SPSS Statistics 24 install is in the default /Applications/IBM/SPSS/Statistics/24, USER_INSTALL_DIR would be:
USER_INSTALL_DIR=/Applications/IBM/SPSS/Statistics/24
4. Uncomment and modify other parameters as needed.
5. To execute the installer, use the following command:
./SPSS_Statistics_Installer_Silent.bin -f installer.properties
Installation Linux 1. Download the Fix Pack to a temporary location on your hard drive.
2. Ensure that no versions of Statistics are running.
3. Open a terminal window and execute the 24.0-IM-S24STATC-Linux8664-FP002.bin executable file as the ‘root’ user.
4. Statistics 24.0.0.2 is ready to run. Use the Help -> About menu to verify that 24.0.0.2 is the installed version.
Guidelines for unattended/pushed installations for Linux-based clients: The SPSS Statistics 24.0.0.2 for Linux Fix Pack obeys the same rules documented in the Site and Network License Administrator's Guides regarding "Running a Silent Installation on Mac and Linux Computers".
Note: Please contact IBM SPSS Technical Support to obtain the appropriate installer.properties file for the Linux platform.
SPSS Statistics Server - 24.0 FP2 Installation Instructions
Installation Windows
1. Log in as a local administrator.
2. Download the Fix Pack contents to a temporary location.
3. Ensure that the same version of Statistics Server is not running, as multiple versions can be installed on the server.
4. Run the Statistics Server 24.0.02 Fix Pack executable.
Note: you must use "Run as Administrator" by first right-clicking on the executable.
5. SPSS Statistics Server 24.0.0.2 is ready to run. Check the service name or add/remove programs, or launch statisticsb and run the SHOW VERSION command to verify 24.0.0.2 as the installed version.
Installation UNIX/Linux Note: On UNIX and Linux, the Statistics Server upgrade is now a true incremental upgrade and not a complete, fresh installation. Installing the Fix Pack for the appropriate platform should be similar to the instructions for installing your server given in the SPSS Statistics Server Installation Instructions. It is suggested to copy off the spssdxcfg.ini prior to the installation on the UNIX / Linux server as the installation may remove the R section in spssdxcfg.ini and may require manual updating after FP2 installation
1. Download the Fix Pack to a directory on the server machine.
2. Shut down Statistics Server prior to applying the Fix Pack.
3. You need to ensure the ownership and permissions for the /bin, /lib and /common subdirectories of the Statistics installation directory. For example, if you installed as root, to change the ownership and permissions, go to Statistics installation directory and run the following commands at the UNIX prompt:
chown -R root:root bin lib commonchmod -R 777 bin lib common
4. When running SPSS Statistics Server with internal authentication, a regular user can be the owner of these directories. Refer to the SPSS Statistics Server Administrator’s Guide for more information.
5. The Fix Pack can be installed silently using the installer.properties file that comes with the 24.0 release (on the DVD): ./<installer_name> -f installer.properties where <installer_name> is the installer .bin file that you ftp'ed to the server.
6. You can also execute the installer directly to launch a graphical version of the installer. (Note: You will need an X Window System to do so): ./<installer_name>
Note for graphical installer: You should change the default installer directory for the patch in the Install Wizard to point it to the directory on the server where Statistics Server 24.0 is installed.
7. Start the Statistics Server after the Fix Pack installation is complete.
8. Run ./statisticsb and enter SHOW VERSION. The response should indicate 24.00.00.02

IBM What happens if I run arssyscr -I instance_name -r without having Report Distribution enabled or installed? - United States arssyscr; Report Distribution TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Running arssyscr -I instance_name -r during upgrade without RDF installed or enabled can lead to errors during load.
SYMPTOM
You will see errors similar to (depending on database brand)
DB Error: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist -- SQLSTATE=, SQLCODE=942, File=arsrddb.c,
Line=951 in your systemlog
CAUSE
Issuing the arssyscr -I (instance name) -r command will trigger arssockd to check for the ARSDBBUNDT (RDF tables), which do not exist.
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
You will see the "table or view does not exist" errors in your Systemlog
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
You will need to rename the Report Distribution tables and delete the Application, Application Group and Folders by performing the steps below:

IBM File Formats for IBM Content Collector (ICC) Content Search Services Support - United States icc; css; csss TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
How do I find list of all document formats supported by ICC Content Search Services Support (CSSS)?
ANSWER
Content Search Services uses Oracle Outside In Technology for text conversion. The Indexable document types depend on the version of the Oracle product that is used in Content Search Services in Content Platform Engine. The CSS V5.2.1 uses Outside In V8.4.1

IBM Configuring defaultRowPrefetch for an Oracle JDBC driver - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
The setting defaultRowPrefetch is used to help increase the performance of queries to Oracle databases and we sometimes find customers who want to enable this feature for Oracle database connections to increase the prefetched rows.
Oracle JDBC drivers have a feature built in as an extension that allows you to set the number of rows that are prefetched while the full result set is being formulated. This is to reduce the number of trips back and forth to the database.
SYMPTOM
If defaultRowPrefetch is set as a custom property on the datasource, this will not work as the defaultRowPrefetch is not a datasource property but a property on the connection itself .
CAUSE
defaultRowPrefetch is a property of the connection and not of the datasource
ENVIRONMENT
WebSphere Application Server using an Oracle JDBC driver
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
Customer sets this property and does not see it work. This may result in longer times to getting the full result set and more round trips to the database.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
The Oracle defaultRowPrefetch can be set in an attempt to speed up queries to a database that return multiple rows. But, it cannot be set as a custom property in a datasource. Please see below:
The way to set this connection property is as follows:.
You cannot set defaultRowPrefetch as a JVM property. It would have to be named
oracle.jdbc.defaultRowPrefetch for that to work. You can only use this property
by loading it into a Properties object in the code and then calling
getConnection with the Properties object.
|
I'm trying to speed up a big read from our database, but I only added a setting to the overall config and it did nothing. What's the correct way to apply a per-connection option so the driver fetches several rows as the result is built, instead of making extra round-trips?

where size limit can be 8192, 16384, 32768, etc.. "
The property would have to be added to all ImpactServers in the Cluster and would require a restart to enable - ensuring that the ImpactServer started as Primary had the correct, uncorrupted .type file to be replicated across the Cluster. Also ensure that there are no trailing white-space characters on the property as these invalidate properties in lower versions of Impact.
The APAR is not an issue in Impact 6 and 7, but one would still have to include this property with an appropriate value to handle a large character length for the USERPARAMETERS parameter.
The character length includes the whole USERPARAMETERS property name as well as the definition.
For example one would add the property:
*
to the files:
*
*
*
where one wished to allow the replication of a DataType between two ImpactServers called NCI1 and NCI2 in a Cluster where the USERPARMETERS property line were 20,000 characters long.

I'm running a multi-node setup and the follower's configuration file for a key data descriptor keeps getting cut off, leading to a 500 error whenever a long list of parameters is involved. It looks like the issue appears once that string gets large, and the docs mention a setting to lift the size limit that must be applied on every node and then the system restarted, with no trailing spaces in the value. We have about 20,000 characters in that parameter block. How should I safely raise the limit across all machines so the data can be replicated without further failures?

IBM Can an update query be run against the C&DS repository to update job results? - United States mass change query update results TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
We have jobs set up in SPSS Deployment Manager. We would like to do a mass change of the location set up on the location set on the location tab.
CAUSE
Currently all results are written to a specific file system and the server is full. We would like to change the location the results of the output.
ANSWER
The job data is stored as metadata. There is no query or batch process that can be run to do a mass update to change the location of your results tab. The recommendation is to work with your IT administrator to clean up your file system, point your file system to a new location or manually update all of your jobs
RELATED INFORMATION
Need more help? Our C&DS forum is Live! [https://developer.ibm.com/answers/topics/collaboration.html?smartspace=predictive-analytics]
|
Our system is dumping all outputs into one folder and the disk is full. We want to redirect future results for all existing tasks at once without editing each task individually. Is there any built-in way to apply this change across everything, or do we need to clean up the drive or update each job one by one?

IBM IAM9: Message Broker – WebSphere Decision Service Node - United States iam9; JRules; Decision Management; Rule Engine; ILog DOWNLOADABLE FILES
ABSTRACT
This SupportPac provides a node to execute the J2SE rule execution server (RES) of WebSphere Operational Decision Management inside the WebSphere Message Broker JVM.
DOWNLOAD DESCRIPTION
This SupportPac provides a WebSphere Decision Service Node in WebSphere Message Broker to run a J2SE runtime business rules engine that can process rules based on the business content from messages within message broker flows. The runtime rules engine can come from the WebSphere Operational Decision Management (WODM). The node receives a input message, extracts the rule set parameter and then runs the rule engine. The result is sent to the output terminal and can be used for complex routing and decision making.
The SupportPac makes existing custom integrations between WebSphere Message Broker and WebSphere Operational Decision Management simpler to implement.
The SupportPac is delivered as a User Defined Node added to the Message Broker Toolkit palette.
• WebSphere Message Broker v7, v8, v9 with IAM9 node v1 SupportPac with ODM v7, v7.5 and v8.
• WebSphere Message Broker v7, v8, v9 with IAM9 node v2 SupportPac with ODM V8.0.1 and 8.5.
Possible Uses
Decision Service node can be used for:
• Complex flow decisions by rule.
• Content based routing by rule.
New in this Release
• Provide a node implementation for all ODM releases currently available.
• Change the user interface and input to look similar to the decision service node of IBM Integration Bus (formerly known as WebSphere Message Broker) v9.
• Enable Decision Warehouse.
• Provide Local Environment Structure to set rule set path and rule set parameters.

In my message flow, I want the next step to be chosen based on content inside each message. I heard there's a component that can pull a predefined set of checks from the message, run them, and then hand the outcome to the next stage. How would that integrate, and what would I observe as the result used for routing decisions?

This SupportPac provides a node to execute the J2SE rule execution server (RES) of WebSphere Operational Decision Management inside the WebSphere Message Broker JVM.
|
Business Rules with Message Broker I want to know if there is a way to use a business rule approach with Message Broker. Because I want to take advantage about benefits for using it, like if they(rules) are not embedded in code, they can be reused and shared, even though application is retired.
I have heard about some rules engine like Drools. Is it possible to do this merge with Message Broker or this has its own rules engine? Where can I go to search for information about this?

In our setup, when several clients share a single connection and one of them is cut off during a data fetch, the worker process crashes and the service goes down for a moment. I’ve heard there’s a security note about a crash like this when an authenticated user disrupts that operation. How serious is this behavior in practice, and what details should we gather to determine whether we’re affected and what might need updating?

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

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.

While debugging a Java-based service, I’m seeing the runtime load two different versions of a core library from separate folders, and a recent scan flags a version mismatch that could trigger errors. The scan shows many duplicates, with some clearly older, and I’m occasionally getting a version-related failure message. How should I figure out which copy is actually used at runtime, remove the extra copies, and swap in the newer one so everything talks to each other reliably? Also, how can I verify the change will take effect without a full redeploy?

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
}
}
} while (retry) ;

While using a shared pool of connections, occasionally my app reuses a connection that suddenly isn’t usable anymore and I get a failure message. There’s a setting that can either clear everything in the pool or only drop the specific bad one. How is that choice made, and what should I expect my application to do next to continue operation?
|
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.
|
Why am I getting StaleConnectionException on WebSphere side while Oracle is throwing 'OALL8 is in an inconsistent state'?
In the WebSphere Application Server SystemOut.log file we see this message:
ConnectionEve A J2CA0056I: TheConnection Manager received a fatal connection error from the Resource Adapter for resource jdbc/<data source name>. The exception which was received is com.ibm.websphere.ce.cm.StaleConnectionException: OALL8 is in an inconsistent state:java.sql.SQLException: OALL8 is in an inconsistent state.
How can this be resolved?

During our nightly backups, a copy of the system’s configuration could be accessed by someone else, and I’m worried they might be able to read the credentials that protect internal communications between services. How severe is that risk in practice, and would applying a recent update or patch resolve it for our setup?

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.

IBM Unable to log on to FileNet WorkplaceXT receive an AE SecurityCheckFilter error - United States AE SecurityCheckFilter; JSSE; unlimited strength TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Unable to log on to FileNet WorkplaceXT - AE SecurityCheckFilter error
SYMPTOM
When attempting to log on to FileNet WorkplaceXT deployed on an IBM WebSphere Application Server, the following error is displayed :
Exception Message: [Filter AE SecurityCheckFilter]: filter is unavailable.
Filter AE SecurityCheckFilter: filter is unavailable.
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
SystemOut.log may contain the following exception :

....
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.
|
While trying to sign in to a secure document portal, the login stalls at a security check and I can’t finish the authentication; the error says the check can’t run. We recently boosted the encryption level, and I’m unsure what that means for our setup or what to adjust first.

I'm dealing with automated reports that never run and stay stuck in a waiting state, and login attempts keep saying my credentials are invalid, even after I refresh them. Sometimes I also get prompts about choosing a workspace or that my session has expired. I’m worried this might involve a deeper issue with the data area that these tasks rely on, and I want to understand what a cautious path would look like so I don’t lose anything—what considerations do teams normally look at first in this situation and what kind of precautions would they take before attempting any recovery?

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)
VOB family feature level: 2
VOB storage host:pathname "host1:/vobstore/test_vob.vbs"
VOB storage global pathname "/net/host1/vobstore/test_vob.vbs"
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:.
versioned object base "/vobstore/test_vob"
created 23-Mar-01.09:36:29 by John Doe (jdoe.group1@host1)
VOB family feature level: 3
VOB storage host:pathname "host1:/vobstore/test_vob.vbs"
VOB storage global pathname "/net/host1/vobstore/test_vob.vbs"
database schema version: 53
VOB ownership:
owner ibm.com/jdoe
group ibm.com/user
Additional groups:
group ibm.com/other
VOB holds object from the following views:
Attributes:
FeatureLevel = 3
Review the ClearCase Command Reference Guide on the topic of chflevel (cleartool man chflevel) for more information.

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.

I'm trying to generate a very large report and keep hitting memory-related failures; what ranges should I consider for the allocated memory to prevent this, and how do the safe limits differ between a 32-bit environment and a 64-bit one?
|
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.

Hi, I'm planning to deploy a new web-based workspace on a Linux server. It has about 4 GB of RAM and around 5 GB of free disk space, plus the database will be on a separate machine. Would this be enough to get started, or should I plan for more memory and storage to handle growth and typical load?

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.

During a fresh install, the setup fails whenever I pick a folder path that has spaces, but it works if I choose a path without spaces. What’s the recommended way to handle this—can I change a setting to allow spaces, or should I always use a non-spaced path?
|
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.
|
Install path under "Program Files" My path for the OS agent is e:\Program Files\IBM. Is there any issues or underlying problems if I install under "Program Files"? Just want to make sure no issues with a "space" in the install path.

I'm maintaining a local test environment and need guidance on how much space to set aside before applying a bundled update, and whether it's possible to prepare a downloaded package and install it later without pulling files from the internet. If offline installation is supported, what steps would I follow to use the prepared bundle, and do I need to pick different options for a 64-bit system versus a 32-bit system?

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.

I am developing a statechart in Rhapsody and I have a question.
I could not see in Rhapsody where I can insert an action that must occur during the whole time the state is active.
I can only see : Actions on Entry and Actions on Exit.
Where is During Action?

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:
Unsupported datatype returned is being treated as text.
CAUSE
SYS_REFCURSOR is not a valid datatype as a return from an Oracle stored procedure call using the WTX / ITX Oracle adapter.
ENVIRONMENT
IBM WebSphere TX / IBM TX Oracle adapter on any valid execution platform
DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM
LASTERRORMSG() reports 'Failed to execute the SQL statement' and the database adapter log reports 'Unsupported datatype returned is being treated as text.'
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
Redesign the Stored Procedure to NOT return a SYS_REFCURSOR datatype.
|
While triggering a routine, the reply is being treated as plain text instead of a structured result, and the logs point to an unsupported datatype. I’m not sure why this exact output is produced or what constraints exist on what it is allowed to return.

IBM SCM check analyses are showing as <not activated> the SCA user interface - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
The reason why your check analyses are no longer showing activated and returning data in the SCA user interface.
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.

One of the monitoring checks used to produce data in our system is now showing as inactive and no results are coming through, even though it used to. The colleague who originally enabled it is no longer with the team, and a cleanup run removed their access. How can we reactivate things and load fresh data again? Should we assign this to a current, always-on person and ensure that their account isn’t deleted in the future?

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
|
I have a page that loads some images and styles from the app’s URL path, but I’d like to pull only a subset of those assets from a separate folder on the server so the files come from there while the URL still shows the app path. How would I lay out things and what rule would I need so that requests under that app path get served from the server’s folder instead of the app, without changing the visible links in the browser?
|
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.

IBM How to get debug information when the IBM Content Navigator Installer on the Unix Platform is failling? - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ)
QUESTION
How to get debug information when the IBM Content Navigator Installer on the Unix Platform is failling?
ANSWER
To capture the debug output from the UNIX command line, enter one of the following (based on what shell you are using) at the command line prior to executing the installer:
export LAX_DEBUG=true or setenv LAX_DEBUG true or LAX_DEBUG=true or set LAX_DEBUG or whatever would be appropriate for the Unix shell.
Then run the installer. The output that is produced should help debug the installer.
If you would like to redirect output to a file:
1. Set LAX_DEBUG=file as per the instruction above.
2. Run your installer.
3. Once the install is complete a file labeled jx.log will be generated in the same directory as your installer. This file will contain the entire debug output generated by the install.
|
While running a setup task, it fails early and I can’t see why; I want to turn on additional messages from the run and save everything to a file so I can review the full output after it completes—what steps should I take and where will the file be created?

IBM Why does IBM Datacap 8.1 appear to hang, requiring a restart of all components? - United States hang; non responsive; timeout; Admin retry; Engine retry TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
Why does IBM Datacap appear to hang, requiring a restart of all components?
SYMPTOM
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.
Note: for Datacap 9.x, the registry entry name is singular, as in 'Admin retry' or 'Engine retry'.
|
Whenever I sign in to our document-processing setup, everything becomes non-responsive and I end up restarting all parts to get it working again, sometimes lingering for around a quarter of an hour. The activity log shows multiple entries about a problematic query being run. I want to understand who might be triggering this and what indicators I should monitor to prevent such long downtime in the future.

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.
* For more details instructions, refer to this document: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAE9L_4.0.1/com.ibm.content.collector.doc_kc/installing/t_afu_establish_trust_relationship.dita?lang=en [http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAE9L_4.0.1/com.ibm.content.collector.doc_kc/installing/t_afu_establish_trust_relationship.dita?lang=en]

I'm trying to enable encrypted communication with a remote content store, but some parts won’t connect until the remote identity is trusted everywhere. Could you walk me through exactly which page I should pull that identity from, where to save it so the system recognizes it, and how to propagate it to all components (including any local and OS-wide trust lists) so every part can verify the remote store, plus what steps to take after that to confirm the connection is working?

We're using a component that came with our current setup, and I heard future updates will drop it and support ends in September 2020. What would this mean for keeping our multi-cloud work running, and what options would we have for continuing management if that piece isn’t included in future releases?

IBM Information Server Informix Wire Protocol driver error "Transaction not available" from ODBC Connector Stage - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
When using the ODBC Connector Stage to access data in an Informix database, receive the following error:
Message: ODBC_Connector_0: ODBC function "SQLPrepare" reported: SQLSTATE = HY000: Native Error Code = -95: Msg = [IBM(DataDirect OEM)][ODBC Informix Wire Protocol driver][Informix]Unexpected Network Error.
ODBC function "SQLPrepare" reported: SQLSTATE = HY000: Native Error Code = -256: Msg = [IBM(DataDirect OEM)][ODBC Informix Wire Protocol driver][Informix]Transaction not available. (CC_OdbcDBStatement::dbsPrepare, file CC_OdbcDBStatement.cpp, line 347)
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
To resolve the above error, set the Transaction handling>Isolation Level from none to Auto-Commit.
|
While using a generic data bridge to reach an older database, I keep getting an error when I try to set up a query, saying there isn’t a current work context. The docs I found suggest adjusting how actions are grouped so each one completes on its own. What exact option should I switch to make that happen?

IBM Exceptions starting WAS 8.5 as non root user on Solaris - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING)
PROBLEM(ABSTRACT)
You notice the exceptions below at start up.
SYMPTOM
Exception: command /usr/sbin/zonecfg failed with 1
and
FFDC Exception:java.lang.Exception SourceId:com.ibm.ws.xd.vv.nodedetect.NetworkInterfaceUtil.getMacAddresses ProbeId:2
java.lang.Exception: dlopen() returned error; rc=128
CAUSE
When WebSphere Application Server is run as a non-root user it will not be able to run native commands. This limited access causes the exceptions.
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM
To resolve the problem, run WebSphere Application Server under a root user. If the environment is not virtualized, that is if Solaris zones are not being used then the errors can be ignored as these will only occur at start up and will not affect a non-virtualized environment
|
I'm starting this service with only standard user rights and I'm seeing two startup messages: one about a system command failing and another about a library load issue. In a non-virtualized environment, should I expect any real problems beyond startup, or is it safe to ignore since it happens only at startup? If I want to stop the messages, would giving it administrative privileges help?

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
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
On a server that can process around 100 simultaneous tasks, what should be the recommended total number of connections to the storage layer for each pool to avoid bottlenecks, given guidance that suggests roughly a 1.25-to-1 ratio and allows increasing up to 2:1 if demand grows, noting that heavy use of the content store can affect the suggestion?
