CAUSE This is a limitation in the functionality of the Filter Analyzer in Impact and can produce the log file message: WARN [EventFilter] Could not consolidate filters. Please check if the filter expressions are valid. java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException ANSWER In the EventReader properties file: $NCHOME/impact/etc/[ImpactServerName]_[EventReaderName].props where [ImpactServerName] is the name of the ImpactServer (NCI by default) and [EventReaderName] is the lower-case name of the EventReader (for example: omnibuseventreader). Add the property: impact.[EventReaderName].consolidatefilters=false where, again, [EventReaderName] is the lower-case name of the EventReader (for example: omnibuseventreader). Once this property has been added to the file an ImpactServer restart is required to enable it.
163fce203114e196366efb6d4e29d7d8_2
In a Clustered environment one would have to stop the Secondary ImpactServer(s) first, then stop and restart the Primary ImpactServer and then restart the Secondary ImpactServer(s) to ensure that the property is not overwritten and is distributed to each ImpactServer in the Cluster. Please note that this issue relates to the use of the Filter Analyzer and does not impinge upon the EventReader ability to parse the Filter. If you are unable to see the Filter being applied in the outgoing SQL for the EventReader please read the TechNote "EventReader Filters not applied to SQL select statement" [link below].

IBM TroubleShooting: JavaServer Pages (JSP) problems - United States JSPs; TroubleShootingDocument; troublehooting TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) Troubleshooting JSP problems for WebSphere® Application Server. This should help address common issues with this component before calling IBM support and save you time. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM The following are some examples of common JSP problems and some basic information on how to resolve them:
65934c72457a2c43fe8cd42d706179ae_1
* java.io.FileNotFoundException: JSPG0036E: Failed to find resource If the browser displays a JSPG0036E: Failed to find resource message, the JSP processor cannot find the specified JSP page in the Web module, as shown below. java.io.FileNotFoundException: JSPG0036F: Failed to find /Tests/index.jsp at com.ibm.ws.jsp.webcontainerext.JSPExtensionProcessor.findWrapper (JSPExtensionProcessor.java:246) at com.ibm.ws.jsp.webcontainerext.JSPExtensionProcessor.handleRequest (JSPExtentionProcessor.java:228) ... Take following steps to verify URL being requested order to debug this exception: To determine the URL of the installed application, you need to use the administrative console to view the configuration of a number of items. The format of the URL is as follows: http://host:port/context_root/resource_name Finding <host>:<port>
65934c72457a2c43fe8cd42d706179ae_2
When a Web module is installed, a virtual host is associated with it. To find the virtual host using the WebSphere Application Server administrative console: 1. Select Applications > Application type > WebSphere Enterprise Applications. 2. Select the application name to open the details page. In the Web module Properties section, click Virtual hosts. 3. Note the virtual hosts that are used by the specified application Web module. To find the host and port numbers that are valid for the virtual host: 1. Select Environment > Virtual Hosts. 2. Choose the virtual host, and then under Additional Properties, click Host Aliases.
65934c72457a2c43fe8cd42d706179ae_3
3. The list contains the host name and port combinations that can be used to access this virtual host. The host name column should contain values that are registered in a DNS server as a host name for the WebSphere Application Server. An asterisk (*) in the host column indicates that any name can be used. In this case, use the server host name. Finding <context_root> The context root is the Web application root and is used to identify the application in the URI. To find the context root: 1. In the WebSphere Application Server administrative console, click Applications > Application type > WebSphere Enterprise Applications. 2. Select the target application, then under Detail Properties, click View Deployment Descriptor. 3. Review the <context-root> tag for the specified Web module in the related deployment descriptor tag. Finding <resource_name>
65934c72457a2c43fe8cd42d706179ae_4
To find the initial file for the application (for example, index.jsp), you can look at the welcome file list in the Web deployment descriptor. As per J2EE specification, JSP files should reside under web module root or under sub directory other than META-INF and WEB-INF. For example: * Web module root : install_root\profiles\profile_name\installedApps<CELL>\<EAR>\<WAR> In the preceding case, the index.jsp file should reside uner Web_module_root/Test directory. If not, than it explains this error message. * JSP not reloading If, after modifying and saving a JSP file, the change does not show up in the browser, you need to check the reload settings in the Web module configuration and the JSP runtime reload settings. For the JSPs, the Web container reloads a Web module only when the IBM extension reloadingEnabled in the ibm-web-ext.xmi file is set to true.
65934c72457a2c43fe8cd42d706179ae_5
The following is an example of web module reloading settings in the ibm-web-ext.xmi file: <webappext:WebAppExtension xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:webappext="webappext.xmi" xmi:id="WebAppExtension_1109270589179" reloadInterval="3" reloadingEnabled="true" fileServingEnabled="true"> Location of the ibm-web-ext.xmi file : install_root\profiles\profile_name\config\cells\cell_name \applications\<EAR>\deployments\app_name\<WAR>\WEB-INF\ibm-web-ext.xmi Configuring JSP runtime reloading: You have the ability to modify the JSP processor behavior for different JSP stages (such as development, testing, or production environments). This done by configuring specific attributes in the IBM Web module extensions that affect the JSP runtime reload behavior.
65934c72457a2c43fe8cd42d706179ae_6
JSP files can be translated and compiled at runtime when the JSP file or its dependencies are modified. This is known as JSP reloading. JSP reloading is enabled through the reloadEnabled JSP engine parameter in the ibm-web-ext.xmi configuration file. The JSP engine settings are stored in the ibm-web.ext.xmi file, as shown <jspAttributes xmi:id="JSPAttribute_1" name="reloadEnabled" value="true"/> <jspAttributes xmi:id="JSPAttribute_9" name="reloadInterval" value="3"/> * Encoding and internationalization issues
65934c72457a2c43fe8cd42d706179ae_7
Encoding and internationalization problems usually showup as garbage characters in Web pages and input from user interpreted incorrectly. Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) character processing is a common issue for encoding problems. DBCS is used for languages such a Chinese, Korean, and Japanese, where a single byte is not sufficient to represent all characters in the alphabet. Proper coding and configuration usually resolves these problems. For JSP pages, page encoding is the character encoding in which the file is encoded. For JSP pages in standard syntax, the page encoding is determined from the following sources: 1. The pageEncoding attribute of the page directive of the page 2. The charset value of the contentType attribute of the page directive If none of these is provided, ISO-8859-1 is used as the default page encoding. Page directive implementation in JSP code: <HTML> <HEAD>
65934c72457a2c43fe8cd42d706179ae_8
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-15" %> <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <TITLE>Receiving parameters</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <H1> Your data is <%= request.getParameter("name") %> </H1> </BODY> </HTML> The pageEncoding and contentType attributes determine the page character encoding of only the file that physically contains the page directive. * java.lang.IllegalStateException This exception is thrown when attempt is made to modify HttpServletResponse object after it has been committed. If you have written something in the response buffer, you cannot forward a page: [7/8/05 20:36:25:694 ART] 0000004f ServletWrappe E SRVE0068E: Could not invoke the service() method on servlet TestServlet. Exception thrown : java.lang.IllegalStateException at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.webapp.WebAppDispatcherContext.sendRedirect(WebAppDispatcherContext.java:486)
65934c72457a2c43fe8cd42d706179ae_9
at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.srt.SRTServletResponse.sendRedirect(SRTServletResponse.java:810) ... [7/8/05 20:36:25:784 ART] 0000004f SRTServletRes W WARNING: Cannot set status. Response already committed. Calls to the following methods, after a committing response, will cause the java.lang.IllegalStateException error to occur: 1. setBufferSize(0) 2. reset() 3. resetBuffer() 4. sendError() 5. sendRedirect() 6. RequestDispatcher.forward() or performing jsp:forward Two other common variants of this exception are: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Header already sent One or more headers have been committed to the client, so you cannot set that header again. java.lang.IllegalStateException: OutputStream already obtained
65934c72457a2c43fe8cd42d706179ae_10
In case of JSP, the default output stream has always been created when the JSP has been translated to servlet. Creating and associating another output stream is the reason for this problem. The following piece of code will describe the reason for this error condition: try { lStream = pResponse.getOutputStream(); lStream.write(lDocument); lStream.flush(); } catch (java.io.IOException ioe) { logger.error("Exception writing ... to page output stream."); } finally { try { if (lStream != null) { lStream.close(); } } catch (java.io.IOException ioe) { logger.error("Exception closing page output stream."); } } Two output streams cannot be associated with one JSP file.

IBM After upgrading to 7.0.1.0 you get SSL error AMQ9716 - United States AMQ9716 7.0.1.0 SSL OCSP SSL TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) You upgrade to WebSphere MQ 7.0.1.0 (or later) and have SSL enabled channels. After the upgrade you notice that in the Queue Manager error LOGs you see the following error message: AMQ9716: Remote SSL certificate revocation status check failed for channel '????'. The channel does not start. SYMPTOM Error AMQ9716 CAUSE With the release of WebSphere MQ V7.0.1.0 the use of OCSP certificate revocation checking was included. With this new feature, most likely your SSL certificates have a OCSP AuthorityInfoAccess (AIA) certificate extension embedded inside them.
01c90277bd3c60bbd3d443e3d3cad460_1
This was ignored before V7.0.1.0. Now it is being used to verify the certificate. The most likely cause of the failure is that the system can not access the servers listed in the AIA. This then returns a UNKNOWN status when the check is done. The default action for MQ is to not allow the channel to start and the AMQ9716 to be reported when the UNKNOWN is returned. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM The best thing to do in this case is to determine the cause of the UNKNOWN return code and fix it. There are two possible methods to discover which OCSP AuthorityInfoAccess URL is embedded in a certificate. Method 1. Place the certificate on a Windows machine; ensure to use a file extension of "crt" and double-click it. View the detail extensions for the AIA. [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21399255&amp;aid=1] Method 2 Use IBM Key Management (gskit) GUI to view them. Issue the following command:: In Windows: strmqikm In UNIX: gsk7ikm (MQ V7) or runmqckm (MQ V8)
01c90277bd3c60bbd3d443e3d3cad460_2
From the IBM Key Management window: Select View/Edit for certificate View Details Extensions AuthorityInfoAccess [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21399255&amp;aid=2] The first step would be to insure that connection to the URL in your certificate can be reached. Work-around: Use this only as a temporary fix until the root cause can be found. You can do the following. It will still do OCSP checking and if REVOKED is returned then the channel will not start. A GOOD return code will allow the channel to start. If UNKNOWN is returned it will not stop the channel from starting and the AMQ9716 will not be reported. UNIX and Linux systems add the following to qm.ini SSL: OCSPAuthentication=OPTIONAL To set for a Windows Queue Manager, run the following command: amqmdain reg YourQMgrName -c add -s SSL -v OCSPAuthentication=OPTIONAL
01c90277bd3c60bbd3d443e3d3cad460_3
The OCSPAuthentication setting is also applicable to clients and can also be set in the client ini file (e.g. mqclient.ini). Changes to the client OCSPAuthentication setting will take effect after the application is restarted. On a queue manager, users will need to issue a REFRESH SECURITY TYPE(SSL) command (or the GUI/PCF equivalent) in order for the change in SSL settings to take effect. OCSP provides your SSL channels with additional security. Once the cause of the AMQ9716 error has been addressed then you are strongly recommended to re-enable OCSP enforcement RELATED INFORMATION OCSP Info [http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_7.1.0/com.ibm.mq.doc/sy13000_.htm?lang=en] PRODUCT ALIAS/SYNONYM WMQ MQ

IBM Purging the connection pool of a WebSphere Application Server data source using the data source MBean - United States was app server TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) During the testing or troubleshooting of an enterprise application, it may become necessary to purge the connection pool of a WebSphere Application Server data source of existing connections. SYMPTOM Changes to the application or environment may invalidate cached connections in the Connection Manager pool. Although these connections will eventually be discarded through the normal processing of the connection requests, it may be desirable to purge them all at once and allow the pool to refill with new, valid connections.
beeb9a04800d90afb4db3c1ffb043b1f_1
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM WebSphere Application Server has an operation on the data source MBean that can be used to purge the connection pool. WebSphere Application Server MBean may be called via the wsadmin console, see the IBM Information Center topic "Scripting the application serving environment (wsadmin)" for more details. The operation name is: purgePoolContents. The purgePoolContents operation has two options:
beeb9a04800d90afb4db3c1ffb043b1f_2
1. Normal: * This is the default option. * Existing in-flight transactions will be allowed to continue work. * Shared connection requests will be honored. * Free connections are cleaned up and destroyed. * In use connections (for example: connections in transactions) are cleaned up and destroyed when returned to the connection pool. * A close() call issued on any connection obtained prior to the purgePoolContents will be done synchronously (for example: wait for the jdbc driver to return before proceeding). * Requests for new connections (not handles to existing old connections) will be honored. 2. Immediate: * No new transactions will be allowed to start on any connections obtained prior to the purgePoolContents call. Instead, a StaleConnectionException is thrown. * No new handles will be handed out on any connections obtained prior to the purgePoolContents call. Instead, a StaleConnectionException is thrown.
beeb9a04800d90afb4db3c1ffb043b1f_3
* Existing in-flight transactions will be allowed to continue work. Any new activities on a purged Connection will cause a StaleConnectionException or an XAER_FAIL exception (in the case of XA) * A close() call issued on any connection obtained prior to the purgePoolContents call will be done asynchronously (for example: no waiting for the jdbc driver to return) This is useful if the driver returns. * Due to the fact that close() does not wait, the number of connections will be decremented immediately in WebSphere Application Server. This might cause the total number of connections in WebSphere Application Server to be temporarily out of sync with the database total number of connections. * Requests for new connections (for example: not handles to existing old connections) will be honored.
beeb9a04800d90afb4db3c1ffb043b1f_4
Examples of operations that can be executed on the data source MBean using the wasdmin console: 1. List all data sources: Using Jacl: $AdminControl queryNames *:type=DataSource,* Using Jython: AdminControl.queryNames("*:type=DataSource,*") 2. Initialize a variable to specify a data source (this example uses Default Datasource, but any data source name listed in the output of above command can be used): Using Jacl: set name "Default Datasource" set ds [$AdminControl queryNames *:type=DataSource,name=$name,*] Using Jython: name = "Default Datasource" ds = AdminControl.queryNames("*:type=DataSource,name="+name+",*") 3. View the pool contents by invoking the showPoolContents operation of the data source MBean: Using Jacl: $AdminControl invoke $ds showPoolContents Using Jython: print AdminControl.invoke(ds, "showPoolContents")
beeb9a04800d90afb4db3c1ffb043b1f_5
4. View contents of all pools by invoking the showAllPoolContents operation of the data source MBean: Using Jacl: $AdminControl invoke $ds showAllPoolContents Using Jython: print AdminControl.invoke(ds, "showAllPoolContents") 5. Immediately purge the pool by invoking the purgePoolContents operation of the data source MBean with the immediate option: Using Jacl: $AdminControl invoke $ds purgePoolContents immediate Using Jython: AdminControl.invoke(ds, "purgePoolContents", "immediate")
beeb9a04800d90afb4db3c1ffb043b1f_6
If the purge operation is successful, no response will be observed. If the purge operation is not successful, the response will indicate a possible reason for failure. One common reason for failure is attempting to purge the contents of a connection pool which is not yet available (the connection pool is not created until a naming look-up of the associated datasource or connection factory occurs), resulting in an illegal state exception.

IBM Datacap Rulerunner server stops after several aborted batches - United States Rulerunner hang stop abort TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) After several batches abort consecutively in Rulerunner, all threads shut down. CAUSE Rulerunner has a thread control feature that acts as a safety to prevent all pending batches from aborting. When it detects a certain number of consecutively aborted batches on a single thread, Rulerunner shuts down all threads. By default, the threshold is three batches, so shutdown occurs if four batches abort consecutively. DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM With Rulerunner logging turned on, aborting batches will show in the rulerunnerX.log files (where X is the thread number. If there is a question as to whether a Rulerunner shutdown is being caused by this feature, check the rulerunnerX logs for each thread to see if there are four consecutive aborts followed by a shutdown.
d63e2fe3d1f0dd0edc06d5f0cc8bc438_1
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM If there is a need to change this behavior due to situations where a large number of batches might legitimately abort, the threshold can be increased or the feature can be turned off through the following registry keys. x86 (32-bit) OS: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Datacap\Rulerunner\Misc (REG_DWORD) Restart Individual processors [default: 1] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Datacap\Rulerunner\Misc (REG_DWORD) Restart processor Attempts [default: 3] x64 (64-bit) OS: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Datacap\Rulerunner\Misc (REG_DWORD) Restart Individual processors [default: 1) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Datacap\Rulerunner\Misc (REG_DWORD) Restart processor Attempts [default: 3] * Restart Individual processors - 1 is on, 0 is off. * Restart processor Attempts - Number of times Rulerunner will move to the next batch without shutting down the threads after a series of batches abort.

IBM Changes in the default user identifier between WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 classes for JMS and WebSphere MQ V7.1 classes for JMS - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION You have configured a WebSphere Application Server WebSphere MQ messaging provider connection factory without an Authentication Alias and do not programmatically supply user identifier information when creating a connection to a queue manager. You notice a change in the default behaviour between WebSphere Application Server versions regarding the user identifier flowed on the MQCONN to the target WebSphere MQ Queue Manager: - When using WebSphere Application Server v7.0 and v8.0, no user identifier value (blank) is passed to the queue manager. - When using WebSphere Application Server V8.5, a non-blank user identifier value is passed to the queue manager. In the latter case, you receive the following exception when creating a connection to a queue manager:
976afa078575ae691a8c7aaf1d14d3f1_1
JMSCMQ0001: WebSphere MQ call failed with compcode '2' ('MQCC_FAILED') reason '2035' ('MQRC_NOT_AUTHORIZED') Is this change in behaviour expected? ANSWER WebSphere MQ access control is based on user identifiers. There is a deliberate change in the default behaviour between the WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 classes for JMS and the WebSphere MQ V7.1 (and later) classes for JMS regarding the default user identifier flowed to the queue manager. From the WebSphere MQ V7.1 classes for JMS onwards, a non-blank user identifier is always flowed to the queue manager when creating a connection to WebSphere MQ. This is true even if no user identifier has been specified, or a blank or null user identifier has been specified; for example by calling: MQConnectionFactory.createConnection(); or: MQConnectionFactory.createConnection(“”, “”); or: MQConnectionFactory.createConnection(null, null);
976afa078575ae691a8c7aaf1d14d3f1_2
In the case where a null or blank user identifier has been specified, the WebSphere MQ V7.1 and later classes for JMS will query the value of the Java System Property user.name. The value of this property is flowed to the queue manager for authorization. As a result, if the user identifier specified by the Java System Property user.name is not authorized to access the queue manager, the queue manager will return an exception to the WebSphere MQ classes for JMS with Reason Code MQRC_NOT_AUTHORIZED and the connection to the queue manager will not be established.
976afa078575ae691a8c7aaf1d14d3f1_3
This change in behaviour could affect topologies that previously relied on the default behaviour in the WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 classes for JMS that flowed a blank user identifier when establishing a CLIENT mode transport connection. The expectation that a blank or null user identifier will be flowed by default, and that the user identifier that started the WebSphere MQ server-connection channel would be used by the queue manager when performing the authorization checks, is no longer valid from the WebSphere MQ V7.1 classes for JMS. In the case outlined above, system administrators that are currently relying on the default behaviour of the WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 classes for JMS should review their configurations regarding the use of user identifiers and authorization. This might also help to improve security within their WebSphere MQ topology. In summary, the change in behaviour will affect users of: - The WebSphere MQ V7.1 and later classes for JMS.
976afa078575ae691a8c7aaf1d14d3f1_4
- The WebSphere MQ V7.1 and later JCA Resource Adapter that includes the classes for JMS. - Versions of WebSphere Application Server that include the WebSphere MQ V7.1 and later JCA Resource Adapter. Currently this is WebSphere Application Server V8.5.0.0 and later. The com.ibm.mq.jms.ForceUserID Java System Property A Java System Property called “com.ibm.mq.jms.ForceUserID” was introduced as part of APAR IZ49302 [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IZ49302] and included from WebSphere MQ V6.0.2.8 and WebSphere MQ V7.0.1. The changes made as part of this APAR could be used to change the default behaviour in the WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 classes for JMS regarding the user identifier value flowed to the queue manager when creating a connection. This property is no longer valid from WebSphere MQ V7.1. Setting this property will have no affect on the WebSphere MQ V7.1 classes for JMS and later. Other Useful Resources WebSphere MQ Documentation
