While Launching JSPM, after an hour, J2EE Engine goes to SAFE Mode !!!

Hi Gurus,

While updating Patch Level from 9 to 13 after fresh Installation of EP 7.0 with BI JAVA under RH Linux / Oracle.

Initially, the error occurred that " J2EE Engine is running in safe mode. Pl. restart the Java Engine and

then Restart the JSPM." When I restarted the J2EE engine and then JSPM, I have the following 2 error

messages in

A server0_out File :

#1 Error occurred while preloading classes of security providers from jre/lib/ext folder: java.util.zip.ZipException: No such file or directory jar:file:/etc/alternatives/ibmjava/142/jre/lib/ext/ibmjceprovider.jar

#2

The error occurred while trying to load "com.sap.security.core.server.ume.service.UMEServiceFileIO".

C The dev_jcontrol file has error msg that server0 not running ...which is apparent from the above message.

• I have checked my J2SDK Version i.e. ibmjava 142 and also, JAVA_HOME and PATH Variable and it appears that ther's nothing wrong in it as mentioned :

JAVA_HOME=/etc/alternatives/ibmjava/142

PATH=/etc/alternatives/ibmjava/142/bin:/etc/alternatives/bin/bin:/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin

I have checked the compatibility of the HW and J2SDK version as per note 861215 and it is ok as per the note

-It seems that due to error A #1 : Error occurred while preloading classes of security providers from jre/lib/ext folder: java.util.zip.ZipException: ..the J2EE Engine runs in safe mode for a while and then it goes down.

So, any idea that how to solve this issue ? I read somewhere that ibmjava 142 is THE correct one and the other versions are having sever issue with the UNIX / Linux ..is this true ?

Pl. help as we are facing this problem since last 24 hours and it is very critical.

Any / All Help is most welcome and would be rewarded with appropriate point without failure.

Many Thanks in Advance,

Regards,
