RRC 4 and IBM i Converter

0
Len Stockdale (14●1●21●23) | asked Dec 17 '12, 7:26 a.m.
Hello

After discovering that the IBM i does not support the converter, I found that I could set up a delegated converter on an TOMCAT server/pc.

I therefore set up TOMCAT on my PC and installed the CONVERTER.WAR file.

I changed the fronting.properties file in /qibm/UserData/JazzTeamServer40/server/conf/rm. 

See the change below.

I commented out the original line and inserted a new one, pointing at the server containing TOMCAT.  My iSeries can ping the TOMCAT.CONVERTER server with no issues.

#com.ibm.rdm.fronting.server.ConverterURL=https\://demortc4i.binarycomputer.co.uk\:29443/converter/htmlgen
com.ibm.rdm.fronting.server.ConverterURL=https\://TOMCAT.CONVERTER\:8080/converter/htmlgen

I then restarted my Jazz Server.  When I tried to create/load a new artifact e.g. Use Case diagram I still get the CRRRW8010E error message.

I couldn't find an log in RRC/RTC to tell me result of loading the converter but I'm assuming it had failed. When I checked my TOMCAT logs I found the following in the localhost log.

Throwable occurred: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/ibm/rdm/web/htmlgen/convert/ConvertedResource
    at com.ibm.rdm.web.htmlgen.servlet.ConverterServlet.doGet(ConverterServlet.java:46)

Can anyone help please. Has TOMCAT loaded the converted correctly?  If so how do I check what RRC is doing when it is trying to load the converter.

Thanks

Len

Hello Len
Have you followed the instructions in this article?
https://jazz.net/library/article/1089/#Tomcat_Application_Server_Install_

Let's check some things out.

(1) the fronting.properties file modification is to be done on server 1 (where RM is installed), not server 2 (where converter is deployed).

(2) Did you deploy the correct converter.war for your local system: windows or Linux?  How did you get the converter.war?

Excerpt from article:

Before installing the Converter application, the converter.war file must be made available on the server to which it is being installed.  There are two versions of the converter.war; one for Windows and one for Linux platforms.  HOW DO WE TELL THEM APART?  There are two recommended methods for accomplishing this:

  • Copy the converter.war file from the server where the RM application has been installed.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT use this method if the RM system is Unix / Linux based and the converter system is Window (or vice-versa). 

  • Download the converter application for the specific platform (Windows or Linux) from Jazz.net.

Rosa

thanks for your answer.

I changed the fronting.properties file on the RM server (server 1).  I got the converter from the IBM i server that the RM was installed on.

Thanks
