Today i am working on a customer (after migrating 5000 users from Exchange), and i try to submit another file to integration server. Integration Server is an option to modify users on SmartCloud using text files. The file name must be <contract>_PRV_seqNum.csv

I created several TDI Assembly lines and i am using UNIX epoch time as seqNum.  When submit a file i got an error “This sequence number must be greater than xxx.”  I found that the customer submit a file using another kind of sequence, so i need to reset the seqNum.

How i do that? Just send a file with <contract>_PRV_9223372036854775807.csv.

After the number 9223372036854775807 the integration server reset the counter and the epoch as a sequence number works again.

I made this guide to install WEX Foundation 11.0.0.1 on a single machine using CentOS 6.7.

Today i upgrade one TDI 7.1.1 JVM  to the latest fix from IBM.

The setup was easy, just unzip the file and copy to jvm directory.

When i launch an assembly line using delta.  The log file show the following error:

CTGDKE039E Error occurred when creating IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator Property store. Property store: System-Properties Exception: java.sql.SQLNonTransientConnectionException: java.net.ConnectException : Error connecting to server localhost on port 1527 with message Connection refused: connect.

The derby database was not starting, and in derby.log i found:

2016-07-06 20:44:01.917 GMT : Access denied (java.net.SocketPermission localhost:1527 listen,resolve)
java.security.AccessControlException: Access denied (java.net.SocketPermission localhost:1527 listen,resolve)

I try everything on  http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21450475

The problem was related to permission. The text bellow is from https://db.apache.org/derby/releases/release-10.10.2.0.html

After upgrading to a JVM with these changes, while attempting to boot, the network server may fail and raise the following error:

access denied (“java.net.SocketPermission” “localhost:1527” “listen,resolve”) java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (“java.net.SocketPermission” “localhost:1527” “listen,resolve”)

To workaround this problem, you must bring up the network server with a security policy which includes the now required missing permission. Instead of booting the network server as:

java org.apache.derby.drda.NetworkServerControl start

boot the network server as follows:

java -Djava.security.manager -Djava.security.policy=${yourPolicyFile} org.apache.derby.drda.NetworkServerControl start

where ${yourPolicyFile} is a file containing a customized version of the policy file described in the Derby Admin Guide section titled Basic Network Server security policy. You must customize that generic policy file to fit your application. In addition, you must add the following permission to the permissions block granted to the ${derby.install.url}derbynet.jar codebase:

permission java.net.SocketPermission “localhost:${port}”, “listen”;

where ${port} should be replaced by the port number where the network server listens for incoming connection requests. By default, that is port 1527.

Solving the problem

I add  permission java.net.SocketPermission “localhost:1024-“, “listen”; to the grant session of the java.policy file and restart TDI

This toolkit includes two main areas of functionality:

A “Web Developer Dashboard” that provides a user interface for working with Script Portlets, Portal themes, and WCM design elements.

The theme support uses the Digital Experience File Sync tool under the covers.

The Script Portlet support uses the Script Portlet command line support which must be installed separately on your workstation.

A command line tool “dxwcmdesigns” for moving WCM design elements – Presentation Templates and Components – between your local file system and your Portal server.

This functionality is also available from the Dashboard.

An overview of this toolkit you can see here

Yesterday i start to format my old Samsung RF511 laptop. I restore the Windows 7 from Samsung recovery utility. Windows 7 was outdated and i try to update to Windows 10.

The update hangs on 99% . I leave the laptop turned on overnight and this morning it was on 99%.  I google a bit and found some solutions for the problem like disable antivirus, administrator permissions etc.

I start the process again, recovery from Samsung utility, but this time i start the Windows update to get some updates for Windows 7.

It was a good decision but with a big headache :-). Windows update looks for updates forever and not stop to search.  The solution for this problem was WSUS Offline.

I ran WSUS offline and update the Windows 7 and after several reboots i start the update to Windows 10 with success.

From announcement letter:

Will be available on June 24

WebSphere® Application Server V9.0, with its traditional and Liberty run times, continues to offer industry-leading, production-ready, standards-based Java™ EE 7 compliant architecture.

Highlights of Version 9.0 include:

  • Certification to the Java EE 7 Web Profile and Java EE 7 Full Platform for WebSphere Application Server traditional, which provides assurance that applications leverage standards-compliant programming models. WebSphere Liberty was certified to Java EE 7 Web Profile and Full Platform in June, 2015.
  • Ease of connecting existing on-premises applications with Bluemix® services, which include IBM Watson™ cognitive for optimal business outcomes.
  • Enhanced support for creating, documenting, and discovering APIs, and also integrating with API platforms, such as IBM API Connect™.
  • Significant improvements in software delivery lifecycle times through seamless integration into DevOps workflows. This enables continuous delivery and removes cross-team dependencies for deployment.
  • Accelerated pace of development and deployment by taking advantage of container technology that includes IBM® Container Services and Docker container with support for Docker Data Center. This enables seamless deployment of WebSphere applications to best meet business needs.
  • Increased flexibility to deploy WebSphere Application Server workloads with speed and agility on Pivotal Cloud Foundry, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft™ Azure, and Openshift, in addition to IBM Bluemix.
