Find a class inside all jars

When having class path issues caused by an old version of a library in your class path, it might be convenient to find all the jars provided this class to figure out what component is loading the old version. So here is a command to do this:

for f in `find /home/jenkins -name '*.jar' -print -exec echo {} \;`; do echo "$f: "; unzip -l $f | grep 'javax.ws.rs.core.MultivaluedMap'; done

Callback not working in the FileTracker functions

Status: fixed in 2.0.3.3

You might have noticed that when using the ecm/model/FileTracker class in IBM Content Navigator, the callback is never called.

For instance if you are using the following code:

FileTracker.downloadAndTrackFiles(documentInfoObj, function (response) {
    console.log("Never invoked");
});

the callback is never called. This is because there is a defect in the FileTracker processMessage function, it does not look correctly for the callback because of a = missing in the condition:

var callbackResponse;
if (response.responses && response.responses.length > 0) {
	var callbackResponse;
	for ( var i = 0; i < response.responses.length; i++) {
		if (response.responses[i].errorCode = this.SERVER_RESPONSE_CALLBACK) {
			callbackResponse = response.responses[i];
			break;
		}
	}
} else if (response.errorCode == this.SERVER_RESPONSE_CALLBACK) {
	callbackResponse = response;
}

This is fixed in Fix Pack 3 though (2.0.3.3), so you can either upgrade or use a plugin to do an aspect around and replace the function by the correct one, which is:

processMessage: function(json, showSuccessMessage) {
	var methodName = "processMessage";
	this.logEntry(methodName);

	var response = dojojson.fromJson(json);
	if (response.hasError) {
		var errorPrefix = "", inserts = [];
		var showError = true;

			errorPrefix = "runtime_file_tracking_file_not_found_error";

Feature is not implemented: PreparedStatement.setBinaryStream

Today I faced this new issue I’ve never got before. It happened when I was trying to set Entry Template on a folder in ICN, which is weird because I did that plenty of times in the past.

Perhaps another app I installed changed a configuration in WebSphere.

Here is the symptoms when I was updating the entry templates on the folder:

ICN_JDBC4_error

It seems that my DataSources are not using JDBC 4 anymore but 3 instead (strange ???). To fix this, go to your JDBC DataProvider in WebSphere Resources > JDBC > JDBC Data Providers and edit the providers :

  • IBM Content Navigator JDBC provider for DB2
  • JDBC provider for DB2
  • JDBC provider for DB2 (XA)

to modify in the Class Path:

${DB2UNIVERSAL_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH}/db2jcc.jar

to

${DB2UNIVERSAL_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH}/db2jcc4.jar

ICN_JDBC4_fix

 

And restart you WebSphere server. That should fix the issue.

File Tracker download directory regression

Using Workplace XT, we were able to keep the folder hierarchy of a Document within the Object Store when downloading it with the File Tracker applet. That means, if your document’s path was /Folder/SubFolder/Document.xml, and your FileTracker folder on the client was C:\FileNet\Work, then you would get your document downloaded as C:\FileNet\Work\ObjectStoreName\Folder\SubFolder\Document.xml.

That’s no longer true with ICN. Everything goes into your download folder, C:\FileNet\Work in the previous example, without creating any sub-directories. This is especially an issue if you download a lot of document and want to edit them, this folder becomes a mess, and if a lot of documents are called the same in your Object Store, then you will have conflicts.

Officially, this is because this functionality is now covered by the Sync and Share feature, which uses a client agent on Windows platform, and is embedded in mobile applications. However this does not cover Unix platforms, and does not allow using Entry Templates, which can be a requirement for your platform. That’s why we will see how to make it work in ICN anyway.

How to fix that

Java 7 enforces bytecode verification

I had some issues lately when migrating to Java 7. As you may know if you read this blog, I’ve been playing these past few weeks with test framework and more precisely PowerMock. I also had to mess with the bytecode a bit myself because some libraries from ICN have dependencies missing and can not be hot recompiled by PowerMock (rebuilding the byte code during Runtime).

Well what I did with the bytecode didn’t work with Java 7. After some researches, I discovered than the byte code verification has been enforced with Java 7, to avoid injection of malicious code via bytecode modification. This is good for production, but in test when we like to mess with bytecode to allow us some tricks, that’s not really helpful. Anyway after a while I discovered the option to disabled this bytecode verification. Of course I wouldn’t recommend using that in production, but it can be useful for test.

For IBM JDK, I didn’t find yet a way to fall back to the old verification engine, so for now I just disable it. Add this to your JVM arguments when running test.

-Xverify:none

For SUN JDK, there is an option to fall back to the old verification engine. Alternatively you can also disable the verification the same way that we do for IBM JDK. Here is the option:

-XX:-UseSplitVerifier

Entry Templates inheritance not working

I had to refactor this article because it didn’t make as much sense as now in my mind when I first wrote it. This is now split in two with a main post being this one. Hopefully it will be more understandable for everyone!

Symptom

You have associated an entry template to a folder, or the ObjectStore itself. You tried to add a document into a subfolders, but your entry template never appears in the selection list of entry templates. If you go into the properties of the subfolders to see if the entry templates are correctly inherited, you can see either an empty list, or it says there are inherited entry templates but the File Types are really strange and error is displayed. Here are what you see and what you were expecting to see.

ICN_EntryTemplateIssue

What you see of one subfolder of the one you applied entry template on

ICN_EntryTemplateIssue2

What you see on a subfolder of the folder you saw the above screen shot

ICN_EntryTemplateIssue3

What you are expecting to see on your folder

Here is a video describing the problem, so you can understand better.

Cause

Websphere primary administrative user id does not exist in the registry

When you try to change the primary administrative user in the WebSphere Console in

Security > Global Security > Configure > Primary administrative user name

You get the following error message:

websphere primary administrative user id does not exist in the registry

This is because by default, WebSphere uses the uid property to fetch user instead of cn, used with Tivoli Directory Server. To change the way WebSphere search for user, in the same location, go to Additional properties > Advanced Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) user registry settings, and replace:

(&(uid=%v)(objectclass=person))

with

(&(cn=%v)(objectclass=person))

 

Install FileNet P8 (with Composite Platform Installation Tools)

Update: This post is now super-seeded by the last version, installing FileNet P8. I will still be answering any question you might have though.

IBM came up with something that sounds really nice: The Composite Platform Installation Tools or also called CPIT. And it is true, being able to have a running platform (for test and development only) in less than one hour sounds like a dream, especially when you know how installing P8 is a nightmare. Except it never works…

And from the one hour expected, we fall back to a few days like before. It is actually impressive how many errors this thing can produce. That’s why I write this post, trying to summarize all errors that can occur.

The VMRC Console has Disconnected. Trying to reconnect

I just got that a few minutes ago because I had to kill vSphere Client after it stopped working. And when I restarted it, I couldn’t open any console on my VMs. Well more precisely I could open them but a warning  on the top of the window was saying:

The VMRC Console has Disconnected. Trying to reconnect

Finally I figured out that I still had a process running called vmware-vmrc.exe. Just kill this process also, make sure to have vSphere closed when killing it, and then restart the vSphere client and consoles should work again.
