Error when BOE 3.1 installer automatically deploys apps on websphere

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to install BOE 3.1 on AIX 5.3 using websphere 6.1. I created the websphere profile with no admin secure. In the installation i chose to automatically deploy the web apps on websphere. I provided the details of my websphere profile and specified no 'n' for the option admin is secure. I did not provide any details for the admin user and password.

The installation goes on fine however all the deployments fail. This is one of the entries in BusinessObjects.12.1.log.summary:

[error] Errcode 1: /home/<user>/BOE/BOEAIX/deployment/wdeploy.sh websphere6 -DAPP=AdminTools -Das_admin_password="*****" -Dlanglist="en" deploy

Note that it is providing a password even though I haven't specified any.

I tried manually deploying them using wdeploy. The details in config.websphere6 were all fine.

I did not provide any special arguments:

./wdeploy.sh websphere6 deployall

This successfully deployed all the applications.

I would like the web app deployments to occur at the time of installation itself, please let me know if anybody has faced this problem or has any ideas to fix this.

Thanks,

Jithin

Interesting, usualy if auto deploy fails, wdeploy will fail as well.

Were you running wdeploy using same user as during install ?

Are there any more details on the failure in the logs ?

Were there any changes made to WAS after install and before succesfull wdeploy run ?

What exact version of Websphere are you using ?

Hi Denis,

Yes, I was surprised too that it worked with wdeploy.

1. Yes I made use of the same user for both installation and wdeploy.

2. I looked up BusinessObjects.12.1.log for more details and found this:

[info] /home/<user>/BOE/BOEAIX/deployment/wcommon.xml:167: The following error

occurred while executing this line:

[info] /home/<user>/BOE/BOEAIX/deployment/websphere6.xml:237: Unable to connec

t to websphere, please check the administrative user name and password, and the

administration port, if specified.

[info]

[error] Errcode 1: /home/<user>/BOE/BOEAIX/deployment/wdeploy.sh websphere6 -D

APP=AdminTools -Das_admin_password="*****" -Dlanglist="en" deploy

As I mentioned in my previous post, I did not provide any password or user(no admin security), yet it seems to provide it in the arguments to wdeploy.

3. I made no change to WAS between the two actions. The only difference being that I did not provide any password to wdeploy. In the config.websphere6 file, the password line is commented out by default.

4. I am using websphere 6.1.0.9

Thanks,

Jithin

I might be off here, but I think our installer as a check mark for Admin secured/Not secured or something like that.

Looks like it either didn't recognized that setting or something wasn't set correctly.

You are correct, the installer does include the 'admin is secure' option. I provided 'n' for this as I mentioned in my first post. Yes, the installer possibly didnt pick it up. I may be jumping the gun, but could this be a problem?

Thanks,

Jithin

It might be, but I haven't seen any reports of similar behavior. Perhaps you can open a support Incident so this can be properly investigated ?
