I have installed MobileFirst 6.3 appcenter console, worklight console successfully, they are operating fine on Tomcat/7.0.57. However when I try to install Operational Analytics, the documentation has the following
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSHS8R_6.3.0/com.ibm.worklight.installconfig.doc/monitor/c_op_analytics_installation_tomcat.html
I am using tomcat manager http://localhost:8080/html to deploy the war files. logging in as manager, with the manager-gui role.
worklight-analytics.war - deployed with no issues
when I select the worklight-analytics-service.war file and deploy in the GUI, it throws a blank page first, indicating "connection error", and when I refresh the page, on the status bar in Tomcat manager GUI, I get this message - "FAIL - Tried to use command /upload via a GET request but POST is required";
Please provide some direction on what I need to do get this fixed. I am not sure If I have provided all required information - please bear with me and ask, if anything relevant (obviously I can't figure out what is relevant yet) is required to debug.
So I was able to reproduce your error and I saw this in the logs:
java.lang.IllegalStateException:
org.apache.tomcat.util.http.fileupload.FileUploadBase$SizeLimitExceededException:
the request was rejected because its size (57353297) exceeds the
configured maximum (52428800)
It looks like by default, the web UI will only upload WARs of size 50MB or smaller. The analytics service WAR file is larger than this, so that is why this is failing. I was able to increase the limit by modifying the following lines in
/webapps/manager/WEB-INF/web.xml
<max-file-size>100000000</max-file-size>
<max-request-size>100000000</max-request-size>
This will increase the limit to 100MB. After I did this, I was able to successfully deploy the service WAR.
Just as a heads up, once you get the WAR deployed, you'll be presented with the login page. You'll need a tomcat user with the 'worklightadmin' role in order to get past the login screen.
The worklight-analytics-service WAR file does not have a user interface. It is simply referenced by the worklight-analytics WAR file. When both WARs have been deployed, can you see the analytics console? And does data load just fine? If so, then everything is fine. There is only an issue if you are unable to use the user interface provided by the worklight-analytics WAR file.

After redeploying a worklight application, some configuration for analytics got lost and I'm trying to configure worklight with analytics again.
The dashboard shows "No data available" for time after the deployment although there are old records displayed for the time before the deployment of the application. So the db was not affected.
I set the wl.analytics.logs.forward property to "true" in worklight.properties;
also I set the wl.analytics.url of the db to be something like:
https://myserver:port/analytics/data
The dashboard is on
https://myserver:port/analytics/console
That is the URL for the analytics server.
Although if I put the db URL in a browser I get something like:
Error 404: java.io.FileNotFoundException: SRVE0190E: File not found: /data
Checked SystemOut.log and SystemErr.log (WAS logs) and I did not see errors there.
Does anybody know which is the XML I need to check in order to validate the configuration is OK for analytics? How could I troubleshoot this problem? Are there other logs I could check?
In the list of environment variables you gave I do not see any for username and password. Try to set:
wl.analytics.password=admin
wl.analytics.username=admin
It would be useful to see a wireshark trace, maybe you are not getting 403s. The Analytics data uploader generally has a small bit of protections and you have the option to keep or remove it.
#patbarron is correct about the multiple WAR files though. You need to send your analytics data to the /analytics-service context. The WAR analytics-service is the WAR that handles all the data processing, querying, etc. The other WAR analytics just handles the console UI.
When testing it might be beneficial to lower the
wl.analytics.queue and wl.analytics.queue.size, those values are for collecting data on the MobileFirst runtime server. Data is collected at the runtime server then sent to the analytics server. The larger these values are generally, the longer it will take to send. There are good to set for production
I'm using ActiveMQ 5.10 and would like to create a user that has read-only access through the web console.
Red Hat published this article, mentioning that it's not really read only due to a bug in ActiveMQ.
According to the bug report AMQ-4567, the bug is fixed as of ActiveMQ 5.9. However, I'm not seeing it work appropriately.
I have tried a number of different configurations, with the most recent being two separate JAAS implementations, one for Jetty and one for ActiveMQ. The relevant property files are excerpted below.
I can mostly log in to the web console using the "system" user. But the guest user doesn't work at all. The application user (appuser) doesn't need access to the web console at all.
My authN/authZ needs are pretty trivial: one admin user, one application account, and one read-only monitoring account.
Is there any good way to get this working with a recent version of ActiveMQ (>= 5.9.0)?
groups.properties
admins=system
users=appuser,admin
guests=guest
users.properties
system={password redacted}
appuser=appuser
guest=guest
jetty-realm.properties
system: MD5:46cf1b5451345f5176cd70713e0c9e07,user,admin
guest: guest,guest
As an aside, I used the Jetty tutorial and the Rundeck instructions to figure out the jetty-realm.properties file and chapter 6 of ActiveMQ in Action to work out the ActiveMQ JAAS.
I was finally able to get to what I wanted by deploying the web console to an external Tomcat instance. I assume that when it runs out of process, it can't bypass security and so has to use whatever credentials you provide. In this case, I gave the Tomcat instance the read-only JMX user credentials.
It's not great, as there is no security trimmed UI. You can still attempt to create new destinations, delete destinations, etc. When you try with a read-only user, you get an error. That gets a "D" for UX, but a "B" for security.
I have an application running on Worklight 6.1 and I am seeing this messages on the log.
CWWKS3005E: A configuration exception has occurred. No UserRegistry implementation service is available
I don't need to authenticate the users on my application, can I ignore this message?
I'm not sure, but you can try to cancel logging for this specific package using following log configuration in server.xml:
<logging traceSpecification="XXX.XXX.*=off=disabled"/>
where XXX.XXX.* is the package where the error was occurred.
Here is a list of all available log levels: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSCKBL_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.nd.doc/ae/utrb_loglevel.html
I understand that you are not asked how to remove these messages from the log file, but you asked should you worry about these messages.
Anyway this log is not of Worklight server, it generated by Liberty server. It means you have something wrong in server configuration.
I found that this messages is because my server.xml configuration file of WebSphere Liberty Profile contains this feature
appSecurity-1.0
And I am not defining any User Registry.
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/rsahelp/v8r5/topic/com.ibm.websphere.wlp.nd.multiplatform.doc/ae/rwlp_feat.html
I am not running the Application Center in this profile and I am securing the Worklight console using properties in the worklight.properties file.
So, the question is can I remove the appSecurity feature?
Add <basicRegistry></basicRegistry> to your server.xml.
I have successfully gotten the module 41 sample running with eclipse and the local server. Attempting to deploy on my liberty server returns the error.
Failed to deploy application 'PushApplication-all.wlapp'. : application descriptor uses a security test:PushApplication-strong-mobile-securityTest. However, authentication config xml does not contain a security test element with that name.
I am on Worklight 5.0.5 with a successful app running on the server and now trying to add push notifications. I have checked the war file and it does contain the authentication-config.xml with the specified test.
I saw a smilier post a few momths ago but am unable to find whether it got answered
thanks in advance.
From the sound of it, you are trying to deploy your .wlapp to a server that is already running an instance of Worklight, but this instance does not have the required securityTest settings in authenticationConfig.xml
This leads me to believe that you did not replace the .war file you already had deployed in the Liberty-profile application server with the .war file from your Push Notifications project, which contains the up-to-date authenticationConfig.xml
I am a newbie.I am using Weblogic 10.0.0.0..I am getting an validation error in first page(Login Page wit user name and pwd) as "logger is not initialized",while deploying. I do the same thing with tomcat, and the .war is imported and deployed is success. What is the reason? and also ,in weblogic 10.0.0.0 we have two jdk's(jdk 1.6 and Jrockit)...in my system i m having 1.6.0_17..so which one it takes.i forgot which i choose while installing..whether it takes from wblogic jdk or which one?..wher i m going wrong..its a small one i notice..but could not figure out..plz lemme kno??
This is either because you haven't configured your WLS installation correctly. When you first setup your console there is a parameter you have to change in your auth file that if not set with cause this issue.
Or you are selecting logging during deployment from the admin console and you haven't configured log4j in your application.
