Troubleshooting Utilities:

Sometimes you may run into problems on a Solaris, Linux or AIX system that stem from an environment that has not been initialized.

To iinitialize the DB2 execution environment use the following command:
/sqllib/db2profile
For example:
'. ./home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile'


To find the value of the DB2INSTANCE environment variable:
On Unix: env|grep DB2
On Windows: type set | find "DB2" in a command prompt

To verify the port in use for the db2 instance (valid on all OS):
Unix: "db2 get dbm cfg" from the instance id
Windows: use a DB2 command window

Log files are located in a "log" directory underneath that the install directory.  
Each install step will has a "*cmd.txt" file and will produce a "*stdout.txt" and
a "*stderr.txt" files.  If ActiveInsight is installed into /opt/IBM/ActiveInsight, the log
file will be /opt/IBM/ActiveInsight/log.


Troubleshooting errors:

When an error is encountered, it is possible to pause the install and or the uninstall, fix the error and run the failed command again manually.  The failing command can be found in the cmd.txt file for the current install step.  After the error has been fixed and the failing step has completed successfully, then you can continue the install or uninstall.


ERROR:  "unable to attach to specified instance"

SOLUTION:  The DB2INSTANCE variable is set in the db2profile which should be run
before attempting the install. In addition the root user must be in the
same group as the db2 instance.    By default this is 'db2grp1' but may
be different at your site.    The /etc/group file will show
this. If missing you can either edit this file directly or use whatever
user management utilities are on their server to change this.

The root user needs to be in the same group as the DB2
instance, i.e. in the same unix group, so that it can run the scripts
which start the database manager and run db2 commands.

In order for the root user to be able to run db2cmd and execute the
commands listed in the DDL file, it must be authorized. On Unix and
Linux systems, we do this by adding root to the same group as the DB2
instance being used.


ERROR:  Portal won't start after LAI install.

SOLUTION:  This is usually because the Portal cannot access the database.  Determine the reason why the DB2 instance was not successfully started.  
Fix the error so that the DB2 instance will start.  Once the DB2 instance is accessible to the Portal, the Portal will start.  

If you have paused the install of Lotus Activeinsight, you can continue it at this point.

ERROR:
Configuration Error
An error occurred during configuration of ActiveInsight properties.
Refer to the log files listed below for details.
/usr/WebSphere/ActiveInsight/log/getUserDN_service_out.txt
/usr/WebSphere/ActiveInsight/log/getUserDN_service_err.txt
Press 1 for Next, 3 to Cancel or 4 to Redisplay [1]

SOLUTION:  At that point, manually update the file
/PortalServer/config/config/services/BPMProductService.properties,
Add a line at the bottom of the file that identifies the Portal admin
DN:

For example:
uid=uid=wpsadmin, o=defaultWIMFileBasedRealm.

uid=uid=wpsadmin,cn=groups,dc=ibm,dc=com


ERROR:  not enough disk space

SOLUTION:  If you have made several attempts to install Lotus Activeinisght and have not properly uninstalled you may not have enough disc space.  This can also happen if you have installed the DB2 instance into a partition that is too small.  To resolve this, drop the LAI DB and any other unused DBs from a previous LAI install or other unused DBs.  Uninstall LAI and then reinstall to a larger file partition.


ERROR:
java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL:
http://websphere.myCompany.com:10088/wbseservlets/QueryUserServlet
 at java.lang.Throwable.(Throwable.java:196)

known Source)
 at com.ibm.lwp.bpm.installer.initializer.InvokeApplication.main(Unknown
Source)

SOLUTION:  This can be the result of an authentication problem.  An authentication failure can indicate that portal is not running properly.  Start by uninstalling and restart the Portal.  Check the getUserDN_service_err.txt log for errors.  This may provide additional information about why the the authentication error is occurring.

For example, you may see an error such as the following:
[2/20/09 7:40:54:602 CST] 00000016 BPMIDFactory  E
com.ibm.lwp.bpm.base.datastore.id.BPMIDFactory DSTO0064E: SQL
Exception caught when initializing the IDGeneratorFactory.
                                 com.ibm.wps.util.DataBackendException:
DSTO0064E: SQL Exception caught when initializing the
IDGeneratorFactory.
.....
Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: Relational database MyDatabase not in
relational database directory.DSRA0010E: SQL State = 42705, Error Code =
-950

This indicates the that Portal is not starting properly because there is a problem with the database.  Once the database exception is resolved, the portal will start properly and the authentication will be successful.
Before installing again, open the cmd.txt file for the getUserDN_service.  Test the authentication by executing the commands in the file.

ERROR:
com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.ConfigServiceException:
ADMG0032E: An existing JAASAuthData entry matches alias bpmDBAuth, so a
JAASAuthData entry cannot be created for user ID MyUser

SOLUTION:
The JAASAuthData is added by the LAI install.  This error message
indicates that there is already one there left over from a previous
install that was not cleaned up.  This error can be ignored and the install can be continued.

ERROR:
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9/index.jsp?topic=/com.
ibm.db2.udb.uprun.doc/doc/r0008857.htm

SOLUTION:  This can be due to an install with the wrong version of DB2.  For example, Lotus Activeinsight 6.0 does not support DB2 v9.1 FP3.  This is because Lotus Activeinsight 6.0 uses type 2 jdbc connections and DB2 v9.1 FP3 does not use type 2 jdbc connections as they were deprecated in db2 version 9.  When using Lotus Activeinsight 6.0, use DB2 v8.2 FP5 instead.
