I found this tool today. I have lots of redirects to do on a HTTP Server.

You just need to enter the old and new url, and you have several options.

One VM Server does not work today and the VMWare vSphere client was not an option form me today.  Several restrictions including bad internet connection using my cellphone.

The solution was using ssh to VMWare host an then using the command line to power off  and then power on the VM.

  1. List the inventory ID of the virtual machine with the command:

    vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms |grep <vm name>

    Note: The first column of the output shows the vmid.

  2. Check the power state of the virtual machine with the command:

    vim-cmd vmsvc/power.getstate <vmid>

  3. Power-on the virtual machine with the command:

    vim-cmd vmsvc/power.on <vmid>

The IBM® WebSphere® Application Server Migration Toolkit is a suite of tools and knowledge collections. It enables your organization to quickly and cost-effectively migrate to the latest releases of traditional WebSphere Application Server and Liberty. You can migrate from a previous version of WebSphere Application Server or from competitive application servers, such as Apache Tomcat Server, JBoss Application Server, Oracle® Application Server, and Oracle WebLogic Server.

My MacBook died yesterday. I am waiting the repair.
Now working with my Ubuntu laptop. Some applications must be installed.
Atom was very easy.

Open a terminal window and run the following:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/atom
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install atom

WebSphere V9 joins the Java EE 7 compatible ranks of JBoss EAP 7, GlassFish 4, WildFly, WebSphere Liberty Profile 8.5, WebLogic 12.2.1, Hitachi Cosminexus, and TmaxSoft JEUS. All of the Java EE certified offerings are always listed on the official Java EE compatibility page.

Due to security vulnerabilities in the Apache Axis V1.x libraries, IBM is removing the Axis JAR file from IBM WebSphere Portal 8.5 effective with Cumulative Fix 12. There is no product code that uses this library, but it has been on the classpath since the initial 8.5.0.0 release.
The specific JAR to be removed is “axis.jar.”

The only exposure here is the chance that custom code, in either a custom theme or a custom portlet, would be using classes from this library. If there is no custom code in your Portal installation that is using these classes, then you will have no problems. If there is custom code in your Portal installation that is using these classes, then you will see ClassNotFoundException in the log files and will see some functional problems with that code.

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.

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.
