JAZZ Application URL inaccessible from other machines


Vishnu Kumar (2621627) | asked Apr 02 '13, 5:29 a.m.
Hello Team,                                                             
          I have done a fresh installation of CLM 3.0.1 application on a windows box and configured http for all the applications. Followed the instructions from the link

http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v3r0m1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.jazz.install.doc%2Ftopics%2Ft_disable_server_certificates.html

This machine is accessible from other machines in the network but i am not able to access the applications from other machines. For example, URL: http://vi008ku-dby1-02.pbi.global.pvt/ccm is not accessible from other machines in the network. We have similar configuration for our production JAZZ server which is accessible. Regards Vishnu Kumar

If it works locally it is not a tool issue and I would suggest working with your network administrators to find out what is going wrong.

If you can access the server from the local machine and NOT from the other clients, you probably have a network issue. For example being unable to ping vi008ku-dby1-02.pbi.global.pvt, ports not open in fire walls, missing or wrong DNS or DHCP entries.
   


Your http port is 80

<connector URIEncoding="UTF-8" acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" enableLookups="false" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxSpareThreads="75" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" port="80"/>

There is a port="9443" mentioned which is probably https. The server.xml has more port entries, however, I don't think this makes a difference and your public URI should be https://vi008ku-dby1-02.pbi.global.pvt:9443/jts and https://vi008ku-dby1-02.pbi.global.pvt:9443/ccm and analogue if you installed on one machine.

https://jazz.net/library/article/831 provides you with more information.

Hi Vishnu,
What was your public uri value configured during the setup? Or you haven't performed the setup yet?
Are you using WAS or Tomcat?
I see no port in your url, Could you try following address: http://vi008ku-dby1-02.pbi.global.pvt:9080/ccm ?

To add to Krzysztof,

by default HTTPS is used. Tomcat is set to 9443. Default  https://vi008ku-dby1-02.pbi.global.pvt:9442/ccm would be the public URI.

To use HTTPS on the well known port configure Tomcat and WAS to use it. Well known HTTPs port is 443. So public URI for CCM would be
 https://vi008ku-dby1-02.pbi.global.pvt/ccm


If switching to HTTP (requires configuration on the app server) the well known port would be 80. Otherwise provide the port configured in Tomcat or WAS which is what is provided in the answer.

Please be aware that Tomcat by default redirects to HTTPS.

I am using tomcat and already ran the setup... I am able to access all the URLs from local browser.... problem is only appearing when accessing those from other machines in the network...

tried to access " http://vi008ku-dby1-02.pbi.global.pvt:9080/ccm  " which is again not accessible...

             By defining this element, means that every manager will be changed.
             So when running a cluster, only make sure that you have webapps in there
             that need to be clustered and remove the other ones.
             A cluster has the following parameters:

             className = the fully qualified name of the cluster class

             clusterName = a descriptive name for your cluster, can be anything

             mcastAddr = the multicast address, has to be the same for all the nodes

             mcastPort = the multicast port, has to be the same for all the nodes

             mcastBindAddress = bind the multicast socket to a specific address

             mcastTTL = the multicast TTL if you want to limit your broadcast

             mcastSoTimeout = the multicast readtimeout

             mcastFrequency = the number of milliseconds in between sending a "I'm alive" heartbeat

             mcastDropTime = the number a milliseconds before a node is considered "dead" if no heartbeat is received

             tcpThreadCount = the number of threads to handle incoming replication requests, optimal would be the same amount of threads as nodes

             tcpListenAddress = the listen address (bind address) for TCP cluster request on this host,
                                in case of multiple ethernet cards.
                                auto means that address becomes
                                InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress()

             tcpListenPort = the tcp listen port

             tcpSelectorTimeout = the timeout (ms) for the Selector.select() method in case the OS
                                  has a wakup bug in java.nio. Set to 0 for no timeout

             printToScreen = true means that managers will also print to std.out

             expireSessionsOnShutdown = true means that

             useDirtyFlag = true means that we only replicate a session after setAttribute,removeAttribute has been called.
                            false means to replicate the session after each request.
                            false means that replication would work for the following piece of code: (only for SimpleTcpReplicationManager)
                            <%
                            HashMap map = (HashMap)session.getAttribute("map");
                            map.put("key","value");
                            %>
             replicationMode = can be either 'pooled', 'synchronous' or 'asynchronous'.
                               * Pooled means that the replication happens using several sockets in a synchronous way. Ie, the data gets replicated, then the request return. This is the same as the 'synchronous' setting except it uses a pool of sockets, hence it is multithreaded. This is the fastest and safest configuration. To use this, also increase the nr of tcp threads that you have dealing with replication.
                               * Synchronous means that the thread that executes the request, is also the
                               thread the replicates the data to the other nodes, and will not return until all
                               nodes have received the information.
                               * Asynchronous means that there is a specific 'sender' thread for each cluster node,
                               so the request thread will queue the replication request into a "smart" queue,
                               and then return to the client.
                               The "smart" queue is a queue where when a session is added to the queue, and the same session
                               already exists in the queue from a previous request, that session will be replaced
                               in the queue instead of replicating two requests. This almost never happens, unless there is a
                               large network delay.
        -->
        <!--
            When configuring for clustering, you also add in a valve to catch all the requests
            coming in, at the end of the request, the session may or may not be replicated.
            A session is replicated if and only if all the conditions are met:
            1. useDirtyFlag is true or setAttribute or removeAttribute has been called AND
            2. a session exists (has been created)
            3. the request is not trapped by the "filter" attribute

            The filter attribute is to filter out requests that could not modify the session,
            hence we don't replicate the session after the end of this request.
            The filter is negative, ie, anything you put in the filter, you mean to filter out,
            ie, no replication will be done on requests that match one of the filters.
            The filter attribute is delimited by ;, so you can't escape out ; even if you wanted to.

            filter=".*\.gif;.*\.js;" means that we will not replicate the session after requests with the URI
            ending with .gif and .js are intercepted.

            The deployer element can be used to deploy apps cluster wide.
            Currently the deployment only deploys/undeploys to working members in the cluster
            so no WARs are copied upons startup of a broken node.
            The deployer watches a directory (watchDir) for WAR files when watchEnabled="true"
            When a new war file is added the war gets deployed to the local instance,
            and then deployed to the other instances in the cluster.
            When a war file is deleted from the watchDir the war is undeployed locally
