I installed my application using the wsadmin tool, but the application does not display under Applications > Enterprise Applications
I get a java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed_saving_bytes_to_wor_ERROR_ error in the assembly tool, administrative console or the wsadmin tool.
If you see this error when attempting to generate deployed code in an assembly tool, installing an application or module in the administrative console, or using the wsadmin tool to install an application or module, the file path length of the temporary system file might be exceeded. This situation is typically an issue only on Windows platforms.
To verify this problem, check the TEMP and TMP environment variables for your system. Long environment variables add path length to the file names accessed by the EJBDeploy tool.
WASX7015E error running wsadmin command "$AdminApp installInteractive" or "$AdminApp install"
This problem has two possible causes:
WASX7015E: Exception running command:
"$AdminApp installInteractive C:/Documents and Settings/
myUserName/Desktop/MyApp/myapp.ear"; exception information:
com.ibm.bsf.BSFException: error while
eval'ing Jacl expression: can't find method "installInteractive"
with 3 argument(s) for class
"com.ibm.ws.scripting.AdminAppClient"
The file and path name are incorrectly
specified. In this case, since the path included spaces, it was interpreted
as multiple parameters by the wsadmin program.$AdminApp installInteractive "C:\Documents
and Settings\myUserName\Desktop\MyApps\myapp.ear"
WASX7015E: Exception running command: "$AdminApp installInteractive c:\MyApps\myapp.ear "; exception information: com.ibm.ws.scripting.ScriptingException: WASX7115E: Cannot read input file "c:\WebSphere\AppServer\bin\MyAppsmyapp.ear"The application path is incorrectly specified. In this case, you must use UNIX-style "forward-slash" (/) separators in the path.
Data definition language (DDL) generated by an assembly tool throws SQL error on target platform
SQL0104N An unexpected token "CREATE TABLE AGENT (COMM DOUBLE, PERCENT DOUBLE, P" was found following " ". Expected tokens may include: " ". SQLSTATE=42601To resolve this problem:
Error message ADMA0004E: Validation error in task Specifying the Default Datasource for EJB Modules returned when installing application using the administrative console or the wsadmin tool
AppDeploymentException: [ADMA0014E: Validation failed. ADMA0004E: Validation error in task Specifying the Default Datasource for EJB Modules JNDI name is not specified for module beannameBean Jar with URI filename.jar,META-INF/ejb-jar.xml. You have not specified the data source for each CMP bean belonging to this module. Either specify the data source for each CMP beans or specify the default data source for the entire module.]one possible cause is that in WebSphere Application Server Version 4.0, it was mandatory to have a data source defined for each CMP bean in each JAR. In Version 5, you can specify either a data source for a container-managed persistence (CMP) bean or a default data source for all CMP beans in the JAR file. Thus during installation interaction, such as the installation wizard in the administrative console, the data source fields are optional, but the validation performed at the end of the installation checks to see that at least one data source is specified.
Error message No valid target is specified in ObjectName anObject for module module_name from installation
This error can occur in a clustered environment if the target cell, node, server or cluster into which the application is to be installed is incorrectly specified. For example, it can occur if the target is misspelled.
To correct this problem, check the target names against the actual WebSphere Application Server topology and reenter them with corrections.
addNode -includeapps option does not appear to upload all applications to the Deployment Manager
This error can occur when some or all applications on the target node are already uploaded to the deployment manager. The addNode program detects which applications are already installed and does not upload them again.
Use the administrative console to browse the deployment manager configuration and see the applications that are already installed.
"Timeout!!!" error displays when attempting to install an enterprise application in the administrative console
This error can occur if you attempt to install an enterprise application that has not been deployed.
I get a NameNotFoundException message when deploying an application that contains an EJB module
If you specify that EJB deploy be run during application installation and the installation fails with a NameNotFoundException message, ensure that the input JAR or EAR file does not contain source files. If there are source files in the input JAR or EAR file, the EJB deployment tools runs a rebuild before generating the deployment code.
To work around this problem, either remove the source files or include all dependent classes and resource files on the class path. Otherwise, the source files or the lack of access to dependent classes and resource files might cause problems during rebuilding of your application on the server.
During application installation, the call to EJB deploy throws an exception
When you specify that EJB deploy be run during application installation and if installation fails with the error command line too long, the problem is that the deployment command generated during installation exceeds the character limit for a command line on the Windows platform. This problem occurs only on Windows platforms.
To work around this problem, you can reduce the length of the EAR file name, reduce the length of the JAR file name within the EAR file, reduce the class path or other options specified for deployment, or change the %TEMP% location of the Windows system to make its path shorter.
I get compilation errors and EJB deploy fails when installing an EJB JAR file generated for Version 5.x or earlier
When installing an old application that uses EJB modules that were built to run on WebSphere Application Server Version 5.x or earlier, compilation errors result and EJB deploy fails. The EJB JAR file contains Java source for the old generated code. The old Java source was generated for Version 5.x or before but, when deployed to a WebSphere Application Server Version 6.x product, it is compiled using the Version 6.x run-time JAR files.
To work around this problem, remove all .java files from the application .ear file. After the Java source files are removed, you can deploy the application onto a server successfully.
While uploading documents, addNode -includeapps fails with an OutOfMemoryError exception
