WAS Express 6 & LaunchGen

Hi Everyone,

1) Does WAS Express 6.0 need patches like 6.0.2 & 6.0.2.13 for WAS ?
(PS: Production is running of WAS 5.0.2 and I am trying to run JPY only on WAS 6 as a simulation)

2) After having installed WAS 6 (for Webserver) + its patches,
Then WAS Express 6.0 on Fat Client & Full package + Web Dev Feature H4A6_setup.exe, I get the following error when I run the JAS Generator:
---------------------------------
C:\e811\JAS\EA_JAS_80.ear\webclient.war>gen.bat

Press any key to continue . . .
--------------------------------
I am currently troubleshooting this but need some help to speed up...
Anyone encountered this ?
Hints Plz... ?
********************************
Please Note that the local web server starts normally on the fat client and it also inserts records into local F989998 & F989999 when new applications are launched...
Also note that I can get the Gen login screen if I run LauchGen with the -nodiag feature...
+ I am being able to connect to the newly installed WAS 6 websever...
(But though did not try generating objects before knowing what's the JAVA error about..)

3) What happens if I don't add the new Webserver machine through the Installation plan ?
Or if I add it only throught the Machine Identification program ?
What's the difference ...


Thank you,
Gil.

Hi,

I'm using WAS6 Express with no fixpacks or patches at all.

It's running perfectly well in E812 Tools 8.96H1, the only
problem I noticed is that sometimes WebGen skips a couple of random objects when launched from an RDP session,
bug that doesn't manifest when launched from the PC itself.

I know... "Thou shall not use remote tools", but I still
prefer re-running the WebGen instead of driving 200 miles
in the middle of a -40F/-40C Canadian snowstorm from
home to the WebGen PC.

Finally, I launch WebGen with these commands :

c:
cd\e812\jas
launchgen.bat

Are you using a similar command?

Have a nice day

Hello Sebastian,

Thx for your reply,
Yes I am using LaunchGen.bat locally on Gen machine, no Remote Desktop... but the error is still there...

Gil.

Hi,

Did you install WAS 6 Express on top of WAS 5 Express?
Are you running WebGen from an English Windows PC?
I had quite a bunch of issues running JDE CNC activities
from SouthAmerican Spanish and French Canadian Windows PCs.
Finally, the last question : yes, it's a good idea to
"create" your JAS server with a server plan.
It will insert the entries you need for JAS e-mail
notification (sending mails from JAS server to users).

Hello,

- I uninstalled the fat client then WAS 5 Express then reinstalled WAS 6 Express & the newly built Full package with the H4A6_setup.exe WebDevFeature...
- Running WebGen from an English Windows PC

Hello Gil,

I had a similar problem when we went from WAS 5 Express to WAS 6 Express, after running the H4A6_setup.exe successfully I was getting errors, the cause of my problem was the jas.ini, jdbj.ini and the jdelog.properties files were deleted from the WEB-INF folder when the webdev feature ran. Once I added back those files my problem was resolved. I hope this helps

All,

Anyone had the same Java error output with LaunchGen + WAS 6 Express ... ?
