CAUSE

Above error is Java compiler error, where java compiler fails to compile.

SOLUTION

1. Follow the steps in sequence

• Go to location "servers/atg_config/local_prod1a_cbsbuild/localconfig/atg/dynamo/servlet" in your code base.
• Add folder pagecompile under servlet.
• Add two files with name "ExtendedJhtmlPageProcessor.properties" and "PageProcessor.properties"
• In Extend file add following code snippet
  $class = atg.servlet.pagecompile.jsp11.JSPPageProcessor
  javaCompilerClassName=atg.servlet.pagecompile.SunJavaSourceCompiler 
  
• In PageProcessor.properties add following code
  javaCompilerClassName=atg.servlet.pagecompile.SunJavaSourceCompiler
• Build your project again and restart the server.

SOLUTION

1. Follow the steps in sequence

• create folder structure under your jboss/modules as "com\sun\tools\javac\main"
• Copy and paste attached one file to this location. "module.xml" & Copy tools.jar from jre/lib location on your system.module.xml
• Copy "tools.jar" to jboss_home/standalone/deployments/<prod_server>.
• Copy "tools.jar" to code base location "/<module>/<sub-module>/lib"
• Go to code base location "<project>/<module>/META-INF" and open file "MANIFEST.mf"
• Add "lib/tools.jar" to ATG-Class-Path in the file.
• Stop Servers if running & Re-Build the ear's.
• Restart the server and make sure <module>.<sub-module> is started with parameters in Server Startup.
• Similar way can fix Pub if there is same error.
• create folder structure under your jboss/modules as "com\sun\tools\javac\main".

APPLIES TO:

Information in this document applies to any platform.

Cause

Some of the SQLrepositories were modified with custom properties descriptors and ACC is not able to find them while start up.

SOLUTION

Please configure the application module with the following entries in the module's MANIFEST.MF file:

ATG-Client-Class-Path: A listing of the jar files that will added to the ACC client's classpath
Name: The filename of each jar file entry in the ATG-Client-Class-Path that needs to be downloaded
ATG-Client-Update-File: A true or false flag whether or not the filename should be downloaded by the ACC
ATG-Client-Update-Version: Optional version string used to force the ACC to update the specified filename

If you see the MANIFEST.MF file in PCIencryption module and it doesn't have the above entry. So please add the below 3 entries in the MANIFEST.MF file of PCIencryption Module.

ATG-Client-Class-Path: bin/
Name: bin/
ATG-Client-Update-File: true

ATG-Version is not required.  Do a build and start the server and try to access ACC through script or dyn/admin . You should be able to access it.

CAUSE

Dimension Values are not rightly configured and imported into CAS components. Which results with above error during execution of baselineUpdate.sh on endeca APP.

SOLUTION

Note:  Exercise caution when directly modifying the versioned database schema.  For assistance identifying this problem and implementing the solution, please open an SR with Oracle Support.

1. Follow the steps in sequence

• Check you have Crawler available at http://localhost:8500 with the same name. e.g. <app>-last-mile-crawl.
• Generally this error occurs if you haven't initialized services.
• After deploying application to specified folder with help of deploy.xml
• Make sure you have <app>-data.xml and <app>-dimvals.xml available at location /test_data/basline folder.
• Goto application_directory/control and execute
  1. ./initialise_services.sh
  2. ./import_site.sh
  3. execute load_basline_test_data.sh
  4. ./baseline_update.sh
Your issue will be resolved.

SOLUTION

Please follow the steps below

1. Navigate to <endeca_installation> directory.
2. Search for eac.properties file.
3. Check each file with MDEX environment variable and update the property with correct path to MDEX with version directory. eg. C:/endeca/MDEX/11.1

Export endeca Application Steps

1. Record Store - Click here to get more details. This Step can be optional if baseline triggers using /atg/commerce/endeca/index/ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin Component

2. Dimension Value Id Manager - Navigate To CAS Bin folder and run following commands to export
CAS_Installation_Path/CAS/11.1.0/bin->./cas-cmd.[bat|sh] exportDimensionValueIdMappings -m <> -f /home/atg/dimvalid.csv

3. Endeca Pipeline - Copy Endeca_App/config/mdex folder

4. Editors Config - Copy Endeca_App/config/ifcr/configuration/tools/xmgr folder

5. Workbench Application - Navigate To Endeca Application control folder and run following commands to export content

       <>/control->./runcommand.[bat|sh] IFCR exportApplication

This would generate the zip/exploded folder.

6. Index-Config - Navigate To Endeca Application control folder and run following commands to export index-config.json

     <>/control->./index_config_cmd.[bat|sh] get-config -o all-File_Path/index-config.json

Import ENDECA APPLICATION STEPS

1. Record Store - Click here to get more details. This Step can be optional if baseline triggers using /atg/commerce/endeca/index/ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin Component.

2. Dimension Value Id Manager - Run below command to import dimension values
/CAS/11.1.0/bin->./cas-cmd.[bat|sh] importDimensionValueIdMappings -m <> -f /home/atg/dimvalid.csv

3. Endeca Pipeline - Use the backup of <>/config/mdex folder and move pipeline.

4. Editors Config - Copy editors_config from step 5 and change host and post information based on environment under each json file and run the following command
         <>/control -> set_editors_config.[bat|sh]

5. Index-Config - Run below command to import index-config.json
<>/control->./index_config_cmd.[bat|sh] set-config -o all -f File_path/index-config.json

6. Endeca Baseline Update-  Run below Command

      <>/control -> ./baseline_update.[bat|sh]

7. Workbench Content - Run below command to import workbench content
        <>/control->./runcommand.sh IFCR importApplication <>

8. Promote Content - Run the following command to promote content from Authoring to Live. Promote content can be run the Workbench as well.

       <>/control -> ./promote_content.[bat|sh]

Important step to be performed in end

In the Last Do base line indexing from Store Dyn/admin from ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin component. This will help in creating exact dim mapping , data and dim vals for endeca schema. These files will not be visible for you to check the mappings.
