RESOLVING THE PROBLEM The create_web_client_war.sh script that creates the web_client.war file contains a change directory (CD) operating system command so the WorkplaceXT directory will be included in the archive. This CD command fails with a "No such file or directory" error. This failure can be caused by the CDPATH operating system environment variable being set. The CDPATH environment variable is used to define the base directory to be used for the CD command. A side effect of setting the CDPATH is that CD commands in scripts may jump to unintended directories. For example, the error below indicates that the operating system cannot find the WorkplaceXT directory off the root of the file system instead of the expected "<WorkplaceXT_install_directory>/IBM/FileNet/webclient/" directory. ERROR: "create_web_client_war.sh[5]: cd: .WorkplaceXT: [No such file or directory]
a73f75cca305e01378e8e425c53f42e3_2
To resolve this problem, unset the CDPATH operating system environment variable while creating the IBM FileNet Workplace XT war and ear files.

All Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE ) EJB applications go through an EJB deployment phase in which your application is customized to run in an application server. Typically, this is accomplished by a deployment tool that is specific to the application server. It generates code to allow your EJB to run within an EJB container. Some application server products' deployment tools alter the bytecode of your application classes rather than generating code ;however, the end result is similar. The EJBDeploy Tool
99d52ad9878effa5aa84ca84af5adc32_2
Historically, EJB deployment in the Application Server product has been performed by the EJBDeploy tool, which is included with WebSphere® Application Server and packaged with the development tools for the WebSphere products. The EJBDeploy tool inspects the external interfaces for your enterprise beans, generates wrapper code as .java files, and compiles the code using the javac compiler. The resulting .class files are packaged in your EJB module with your application code. For modules including and previous to EJB 2.1, the EJBDeploy tool must be invoked manually. Please note that in WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.x and below, the tool can only deploy Java EE applications compiled with a JDK level of 7 or below. To deploy JDK 8 compiled web applications, please upgrade to WebSphere Application Server V9.

IBM WCM page and authoring portlet may not display after migration - United States WPv7000eGA; migrating; migrate; migration; V7.0; v7; WCM; out-of-box page; out of the box; page; authoring portlet; may not reach; cannot reach; cannot access; no access; exceptions; IWKAP0009E; Servlet not enabled TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM After migrating to IBM WebSphere Portal V7.0, you may not be able to navigate to or display the Web Content Manager (WCM) out-of-box page or the authoring portlet. In addition, some related functions in the user interface might not work or might generate exceptions when accessed. Clicking buttons in the authoring portlet may generate the following error in the log: * * IWKAP0009E: Servlet not enabled *
2c54857f68acdc0fda565d1cf4813c00_1
If this occurs, you must re-enable these features manually after migration. CAUSE The migration process can disable some new out-of-the-box features if the feature did not exist in the previous release or if it was updated. In particular, the Portal page required for the reserved authoring portlet is missing and the permissions on the AJAX proxy servlet are not set correctly. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM To re-enable the affected features manually after migration, do the following: 1. Make sure that the page on which the WCM authoring portlet is installed uses a theme with client-side rendering such as the Page Builder theme. 2. Deploy the hidden Portal page on which the reserved authoring portlet is installed. 3. Run the following task from the wp_profile_root / Config Engine directory. * Cluster note: *

IBM After restoring BigFix server database, ILMT/BFI/SUA server may not import all the data since the restore correctly - United States sequance number; resotre; database; missing data; gap TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) THIS DOCUMENT APPLIES ONLY TO THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGE VERSION(S): English PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) After you restore the BigFix database and run an import, new data is not displayed in BFI/SUA/LMT even after successful ETL imports. SYMPTOM Not all data reported already by endpoints to BigFix server are visible in LMT/BFI console. This may include scan results, capacity data, etc. CAUSE BFI/SUA/LMT is designed to import only newly created data. To achieve this, the data is marked with the so-called sequence number. The sequence number is incremented during every change, upload, scan, etc. Every import contains data starting from the sequence number reported during the last successful import to the current sequence number.
b2162d8cb3bf00631974e3382cb28282_1
When the database is restored, the sequence number is restored to the value from the time when the database backup was created. Because of that, it might happen that the sequence number after the restoration is lower than the sequence number reported during the last successful import. In such case, the first import after the database restoration does not include any data. After that import, the sequence number is updated and the next import contains new data. Depending on your scan settings, you might need to wait some time for the import that contains new data. When the database is restored, the sequence number is restored to the value from the time when the database backup was created. Data for the period from the last successful import before the restoration of the database until the restoration is never imported (obviously, as the data was removed by restoring the DB) and needs to be re-generated by re-running the scans if needed.
b2162d8cb3bf00631974e3382cb28282_2
Data from DB restoration time until first successful import is also by default not imported (causing a gap). To cover this gap you may follow the procedure described below. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM Warning: The following procedure will impact the length of the first import after the sequence is reset. After performing below steps ALL DATA from all endpoints available on BigFix server side will be imported (not only covering the problematic gap). For big environments the impact may be huge and it is better to re-run scans on selected endpoints instead. 1) Ensure that the import is not running and stop the BFI/SUA/LMT server. 2) To reset the sequence for all data sources and import all data, run the following query on the BFI/SUA/LMT database: DB2: UPDATE dbo.DATASOURCE_SEQUENCES set LAST_SEQUENCE = blob(x'0000000000000000'); MSSQL: UPDATE dbo.datasource_sequences set last_sequence = 0x0000000000000000; 3) Start the BFI/SUA/LMT. 4) Run an import.

IBM Configuring the Tomcat Data Collector to run as a Windows service - United States ITCAM; J2EE; Tomcat; Windows; Service; CAMJ2ALL; CAMJ2INST; CAMJ2TCDC TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION What is the correct procedure to configure the ITCAM for J2EE Data Collector for Tomcat to run as a Windows service? CAUSE There is an option to specify the Tomcat Windows Service during GUI configuration of the ITCAM J2EE 7.1.1 agent/DC. This option does not work and will result in a failed configuration. [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21961542&aid=1] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21961542&aid=1] This option will be removed from the drop down menu for the Tomcat DC Configuration, according to APAR PI43783. ANSWER Tomcat on Windows platforms must be installed from a base distribution, that is extracting a .zip file named like apache-tomcat-7.0.62.zip, even though one plans to start Tomcat only as a Window Service, and not with a startup script.
b3ab50afad7ee5ede28e125af4ac9cbe_1
If you install Tomcat from the Windows Service Installer (e.g. apache-tomcat-7.0.62.exe), rather than a base distribution, some of the command-line and startup scripts for launching Tomcat will not be included, and you won't be able to complete the following procedure. 1- Configure the DC using the Normal Startup option.

IBM Switching Business Process Choreographer Explorer back to using HTTP from HTTPS - United States DOWNLOADABLE FILES ABSTRACT In Business Process Manager Advanced Version 8.0.1, the default protocol used by Business Process Choreographer Explorer was changed to use HTTPS. You can switch it back to HTTP. DOWNLOAD DESCRIPTION When Business Process Choreographer Explorer uses the default secure HTTPS protocol, any attempts to access Business Process Choreographer Explorer using HTTP are redirected to use HTTPS. If you need Business Process Choreographer Explorer to support insecure HTTP connections, you can use the unsecureExplorer.ant script to switch the protocol used from HTTPS to HTTP. Attention: It is not recommend to use the insecure HTTP protocol. Using HTTP for the Business Process Choreographer Explorer can open your organization to possible security problems. Switching to HTTP
c010132d932e2f230f8648ca341d5310_1
If you need to switch Business Process Choreographer Explorer from HTTPS to use HTTP, complete the following actions:
c010132d932e2f230f8648ca341d5310_2
1. Download the unsecureExplorer.ant script file, which is attached near the bottom of this page. 2. If you previously switched Business Process Choreographer Explorer to use HTTP, but are performing this task again because you are installing an interim fix, fix pack, or refresh pack that updated Business Process Choreographer Explorer has reverted it back to the default HTTPS protocol, you must first delete the old (invalid) backup EAR file before running the script. * On Linux, UNIX-based and z/OS platforms, delete the install_root/ProcessChoreographer/internal/bpcexplorer_secure_backup.ear file. * On Microsoft Windows platforms, delete the install_root\ProcessChoreographer\internal\bpcexplorer_secure_backup.ear file.
c010132d932e2f230f8648ca341d5310_3
3. Run the script to patch the bpcexplorer.ear file. In a network deployment environment, you must run the script on the deployment manager. * On Linux, UNIX-based and z/OS platforms, enter the following command: install_root/ws_ant.sh -f unsecureExplorer.ant * On Windows platforms, enter the following command: install_root\ws_ant.bat -f unsecureExplorer.ant Note: A backup copy of the original EAR file is created named bpcexplorer_secure_backup.ear. 4. Deploy the patched bpcexplorer.ear file by updating the profile. For more information about updating profiles for an interim fix, see one of the following documents: * For version 8.0.1.x: Profile update instructions for IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) interim fixes [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21608414].

c010132d932e2f230f8648ca341d5310_5
Remember: In the future, if you install an interim fix, fix pack, or refresh pack that updates the Business Process Choreographer Explorer, it will revert to using the default secure HTTPS protocol. If that happens and you still need the Business Process Choreographer Explorer to use the HTTP protocol, you must complete these steps again to re-enable the HTTP protocol. Switching back to HTTPS
c010132d932e2f230f8648ca341d5310_6
If you need to switch Business Process Choreographer Explorer back from HTTP to HTTPS, complete the following actions: 1. Change to the directory where the backup EAR file is located. * On Linux, UNIX-based and z/OS platforms, its location is install_root/ProcessChoreographer/internal * On Windows platforms, its location is install_root\ProcessChoreographer\internal 2. In that directory, copy or rename the backup EAR file bpcexplorer_secure_backup.ear to bpcexplorer.ear and overwrite any existing copy. 3. Deploy the original HTTPS version by updating the profile. For more information about updating profiles for an interim fix, see one of the following documents: * For versions 8.0.1.x: Profile update instructions for IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) interim fixes [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21608414].

IBM Using WASServiceCmd to create Windows services for WebSphere Application Servers - United States wasservice; was service; wasservice command; websphere windows service; wasservice cmd; versiongap TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) WASServiceCmd.exe is a front end for WASService.exe, which is shipped with WebSphere Application Server. WASService.exe is required in its default directory for adding, updating, and removing WebSphere Services in Windows. Notice: In WebSphere Application Server v8 and later, this utility is shipped with the product under the name of WASServiceHelper.bat in the bin directory. Reference: Using the WASServiceHelper utility to create Windows services for application servers https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSAW57_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.nd.doc/ae/tins_wasservicecmd.html [https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSAW57_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.nd.doc/ae/tins_wasservicecmd.html]

See DeveloperWorks article for detailed information: (Link at the bottom of this document) SYMPTOM Creating and removing a WebSphere service in Windows is confusing and error prone. CAUSE This application takes several parameters which can be confusing to the user along with several long path strings leaving opportunities to setup incorrectly. ENVIRONMENT Windows RESOLVING THE PROBLEM 1. Place the WASServiceCmd.exe utility in the following directory: install_root\bin 2. Launch the command from the command line. 3. The WASServiceCmd utility prompts you to select specific options and settings from a list and then calls the WASService.exe command passing all selected parameters. This greatly reduces the time it takes to create a Windows service for WebSphere Application Server and reduces the opportunity for user errors.

IBM Finding if Table created as NOT LOGGED INITIALLY - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION How to find if Table was Created as NOT LOGGED INITIALLY? ANSWER We can use either of the following methods to Check if Table was created as 'Not Logged Initially' 1)Using db2cat, db2cat -db <dbname> -n <TableName> -s <Schema> -t | grep "Table not logged" Which can confirm if given table was created as NLI or not. Sample Output ---------------------- Connecting to the Database. Connect to Database Successful. Table not logged : 0 ---------------------- Table not Logged showing '0' represent Table was not created as NLI, if it returns '1' then that is table was created as NLI. 2)Using db2look Using db2look command to get DDL information on the table which would show you if the table was created as "NOT LOGGED INITIALLY" Example: db2look -d <database_name> -t <table_name> -e -o <output_file_name.out>

NOTE: Table Alter with ACTIVATE NOT LOGGED INITIALLY will not be listed in these above commands as it will activate NLI only for current Unit of work. NOTE:In DB2 V8 the LOG_ATTRIBUTE column in the SYSCAT.TABLES table was used to check if a table was created as NOT LOGGED INITIALLY. But Starting from DB2 V9 this column is no longer being used and will always have a value of 0.

IBM DataPower off-device logging: a configuration example - United States datapower; 7993; machine type 7993; logging; off device; off device logging; log target; off-device; syslog; debug log level; debug; log level TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) This technote gives an example of how to enable off-device logging on an IBM® WebSphere® DataPower® appliance. This can be very helpful when a debug log level is needed to help isolate a problem or monitor behavior over a long period of time or can be used in production environment as DataPower only keeps a limited number of log files (the default is 3 files) in the file system in a rotational basis. CAUSE The DataPower device has a finite amount of space to hold larger than average log files or long term logging needs in production environment.
b185e12f45048f568b410385eb23e34a_1
It should be noted that if used while debugging at load or in a capacity issue, log events may be dropped. There is a prioritization of events within the device and client traffic always comes first. Log events dropped can be confirmed or counted from the Status>Log Targets menu in the WebGUI. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM Configure a server daemon to listen and capture the DataPower devices events. First, this example shows how to create the log target sending events to a syslog destination. The other examples listed below will have their own strong points to be considered depending on the problem scenario. Syslog: * The syslog protocol operates over UDP which has no guarantee on packet delivery - a fast fire and forget method. To create the new log target, go into the default domain: Objects > Log Targets Configure the log target with settings as follows from the WebGUI:
b185e12f45048f568b410385eb23e34a_2
1. Name the log target 2. Select Target Type of syslog 3. Fill in the Local Identifier with a descriptive string that may be used by a remote recipient to identify this specific log target 4. Enter the Remote Host Address and the Remote IP Port as in the screen shot wherex.x.x.x is the IP address of the remote syslog server that listens on port 514 5. Take all other defaults [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21269136&aid=1] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21269136&aid=1] Under the Event Subscriptions tab, you can select all and debug as indicated here: [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21269136&aid=2] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21269136&aid=2] * * 6. Generate log events in the DataPower by using some transactions, for example by saving the configuration from the WebGUI or running some test load into a domain.
b185e12f45048f568b410385eb23e34a_3
Syslog-ng, will simply work over the TCP protocol to ensure the packet is delivered to the destination. The same consideration should be applied to a device under high load in that a log event could be dropped if not able to be wrote out to the network within time. NFS: All NFS limitations apply from file size and permission settings. This is a more common approach using an NFS static mount to capture a log target and can allow for slightly more reliable messages to be logged. The limiting factor again is the speed of the network and NFS server response time. File type:
b185e12f45048f568b410385eb23e34a_4
Using a file type log target with a backup method as seen here: [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21269136&aid=3] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21269136&aid=3] This will allow log events to quickly be written to a local file on the device's file system. Once the file reaches its set size a connection to the destination will upload the file from the device. This will upload with a unique time and date stamp on the uploaded file. This is a useful method to capture sporadic problems. This is also useful for long running transactions that may span more than one file depending on device load. HTTP service: Finally a clever method that may be used in some senarios would be an HTTP service on the device. Using an HTTP service configured in the following way, [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21269136&aid=4] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21269136&aid=4] Once the file type log is created in the logtemp:/// directory, a client browser or wget type client can easily retrieve the file from the device.
b185e12f45048f568b410385eb23e34a_5
This is very useful when there is no local or accessible remote log storage location to the device, due to firewall or network restrictions. This is also removing the limitation of the device dropping the log event should it not be able to write the log event to the network. Each of the above methods are very useful and work better in some scenarios than others depending on the network, load, problem, and information needed. This is intended to be a guide to help you decide which method would be best for your scenario.

Note: same error will occur when modifying the datasource setting as well as described in the above technote link. ANSWER The problem is resolved after upgrading to ILMT 9.2.7 and the import task continues to work successfully. Most likely this is due to the ILMT 9.2.2 application expecting a specific version of glibc 32-bit library file and it won't work if a newer version is found after the patching the RedHat Linux server.
