PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: CWSIS1530E due to failed message store column checks when using ojdbc8.jar RECOMMENDATION: None Oracle Database columns that were reported to be of type DECIMAL using ojdbc7.jar (or previous) now report to be of type NUMERIC when using ojdbc8.jar . When the SIB message store is configured to use an Oracle database, this difference in reporting causes the existing database column checking code during WebSphere Application Server startup to fail with the following error: ---- java.lang.IllegalStateException: CWSIS1530E: The data type, 2, was found instead of the expected type, 3, for column, EMPTY_COLUMN, in table, CMN201USER.SIBOWNERO. at com.ibm.ws.sib.msgstore.persistence.impl.Table.compareColumnInfo (Table.java:477) at com.ibm.ws.sib.msgstore.persistence.impl.Table.performColumnChec ks(Table.java:443) at com.ibm.ws.sib.msgstore.persistence.impl.MEOuterOwnerTable.initi alize(MEOuterOwnerTable.java:85) at com.ibm.ws.sib.msgstore.persistence.impl.TableManager$1.run(Tabl eManager.java:263) at com.ibm.ws.sib.msgstore.persistence.impl.DatasourceController.pe rformFirstAction(DatasourceController.java:231) at com.ibm.ws.sib.msgstore.persistence.impl.TableManager.initialize (TableManager.java:248) at com.ibm.ws.sib.msgstore.persistence.impl.PersistentMessageStoreI mpl.start(PersistentMessageStoreImpl.java:198) at com.ibm.ws.sib.msgstore.impl.MessageStoreImpl.start(MessageStore Impl.java:1570) at com.ibm.ws.sib.admin.impl.JsMessagingEngineImpl.start(JsMessagin gEngineImpl.java:638) at com.ibm.ws.sib.admin.impl.HAManagerMessagingEngineImpl.condition alStart(HAManagerMessagingEngineImpl.java:2338) at com.ibm.ws.sib.admin.impl.HAManagerMessagingEngineImpl.activate( HAManagerMessagingEngineImpl.java:1334) at com.ibm.ws.sib.admin.impl.JsActivationThread.run(JsActivationThr ead.java:94) ---- The fix is for the column checking code to accept a column type of either DECIMAL or NUMERIC when checking the message store tables in Oracle databases. PROBLEM CONCLUSION: The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.0.0.15, 8.5.5.13, and 9.0.0.7. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980 Directions to apply fix: Fix applies to Editions: Release 8.5 X_ Application Server (Express or BASE) X_ Network Deployment (ND) __ Liberty Core __ Edge Components __ Developer Install Fix to all WebSphere installations unless special instructions are included below. Special Instructions: None NOTE: The user must: * Logged in with the same authority level when unpacking a fix, fix pack or refresh pack. * Be at V1.4.3 or newer of the Installation Manager. Certain iFixes may require a newer version of the Installation Manager and the Installation Manager will inform you during the installation process if a newer version is required. The IBM Knowledge Center can provide details, if needed, on the use of the Installation Manager to apply the iFixes. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/install/v1r4/index.jsp. Shutdown WebSphere Application Server before applying the iFixes. Restart WebSphere Application Server after applying the iFixes. Directions to remove fix: The IBM Knowledge Center can provide details, if needed, on the use of the Installation Manager to remove the iFixes. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/install/v1r4/index.jsp. Shutdown WebSphere Application Server before removing the iFixes. Restart WebSphere Application Server after removing the iFixes. Directions to re-apply fix: 1) Shutdown WebSphere Application Server. 2) Follow the Fix instructions to apply the fix. 3) Restart WebSphere Application Server. Additional Information:
