DT036276, WorkItem:278145 - Batch launcher error when DB-to-JMS is enabled with WebSphere Liberty server
Issue Description:
The batch launcher fails when DB-to-JMS is enabled in conjunction with WebSphere Liberty server.
In addition the server logs will include one or both of the following messages:
- User ‘UNAUTHENTICATED’ does not have role on CuramServer'
- java.lang.ClassCastException: curam.util.invoke.EJSLocal0SLEJBMethod_2b4572e3 incompatible with curam.util.invoke.Method
User Interface Impact: No
Steps to Reproduce:
- Set application property 'Database-to-jms - enable flag' to 'True'.
- Set application property 'Database-to-jms - Notification batch launcher mode' to '1'.
- Set application property 'Database-to-jms - Notification host name' and 'Database-to-jms - Notification port number' to reference an SPM application on WebSphere Liberty.
- Run the batch launcher.
Issue:
[batchlauncher] A runtime exception occurred: An error occurred triggering the database-to-JMS server
at '<host name>':'<port number>' (SSL mode: false):(). Note that properties `curam.batchlauncher.dbtojms.notification.host` and `curam.batchlauncher.dbtojms.notification.port` respectively must be set to the host and port number on which the Curam client application is deployed, because the database to JMS server is part of the Curam client application.
Resolution:
When DB-to-JMS is enabled, the batch launcher can authenticate with the server to obtain an LTPA token required by WebSphere Liberty to trigger a database-to-JMS transfer.
LTPA token usage is enabled by setting the application property 'Database-to-jms - Enable LTPA token usage for DB-to-JMS triggering'
(Technical ID: curam.batchlauncher.dbtojms.notification.ltpa) to 'True'.
To help with troubleshooting another property 'Database-to-jms - Enable tracing for DB-to-JMS triggering'
(Technical ID: curam.batchlauncher.dbtojms.notification.trace) is now available. Setting this property to 'True' enables diagnostic logging for DB-to-JMS operations. Previously it was necessary to set the application-wide property 'Tracing level' (Technical ID: curam.trace) to 'trace_verbose' in order to activate this logging, which was less convenient.
