It is quickest to sort by "Status" which will pull all failures to the top. Failures of individual deployment jobs should be reviewed with the team managing the system workload. Scan the information to look for pervasive system issues here. Failed Deployments Workload Console > Instances > All Instances Look over the list of all instances to find those that are failed that appear to be stuck initializing. A large number of deployments in these failed or stalled states can indicate system wide problems that should be investigated. A few failed or error deployments will occasionally be there because of the way that these systems are being used by the team managing the work loads. Confirm all is well with the team working on these projects. Scan the information to look for pervasive system issues here. FULL HEALTH CHECKS

ERROR DESCRIPTION * The On Demand Router (ODR) has a memory leak related to HttpRouteAction objects such that when the system is under load and there are configuration changes such as uninstalling and installing applications it is possible that multiple, redundant HttpRouteAction objects can be created with registered listeners for ODC tree changes but never removed. This will eventually fill up the available heap space and cause an Out Of Memory issue on the ODR. Restarting the ODR will correct the problem. LOCAL FIX * Restart the ODR.

PROBLEM SUMMARY * **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server Intelligent Management using the * * java On Demand Router (ODR). * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An Out Of Memory error can be seen on * * the On Demand Router because * * HttpRouteAction objects can * * accumulate. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** There is a code bug where HttpRouteAction objects can accumulate because they are not freed. This is particularly
ac6b2431520075c16a777f65b36ef9b8_3
noticeable when there are routing rules present, many applications installed, and multiple configuration changes happening on the system (such as installing or removing applications). Over time this can cause exhaustion of the available heap and an Out Of Memory error for the On Demand Router.
ac6b2431520075c16a777f65b36ef9b8_4
PROBLEM CONCLUSION * The area of code was corrected to release the HttpRouteAction objects. This fix supercedes PI51978 [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PI51978].

IBM CWWIM1011E during PUMA lookup using SAML Trust Association Interceptor - United States SAML; SSO; TAI; PUMA; CWWIM1011E; InvalidUniqueNameException TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM After configuring the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) SAML Trust Association Interceptor (TAI) in WebSphere Application Server, you attempt to access WebSphere Portal after authenticating to your Identity Provider (IdP), but you are unable to view the Portal page. SYMPTOM - Portal page is blank - SystemOut.log contains the following error at the time of the problem occurrence: com.ibm.websphere.wim.exception.InvalidUniqueNameException: CWWIM1011E The '<userId>' unique name is not valid.
bb5308704af905ee7c9ce1c8da361398_1
CAUSE SAML TAI parameter sso_<n>.sp.idMap = is configured to use "idAssertion" which results in the userid instead of the fully distinguished name of the user to be set in the JAAS subject. Portal then uses this value to query Virtual Member Manager (VMM) via findUserByIdentifier() and the failure occurs since the value is not formatted as a distinguished name. DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM - Collect Portal Login troubleshooting data [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21592791] - Look for the following in security.xml: <interceptors xmi:id="TAInterceptor_<identifier>" interceptorClassName="com.ibm.ws.security.web.saml.ACSTrustAssociationInterceptor"> ... <trustProperties xmi:id="Property_<identifier>" name="sso_1.sp.idMap" value="idAssertion"/> Note: There may be more than one sso_<n>.sp.idMap property (for example, sso_1.sp.idMap, sso_2.sp.idMap, etc). RESOLVING THE PROBLEM Option #1:
bb5308704af905ee7c9ce1c8da361398_2
The idAssertion value means that no entry is necessary for the user in the user registry, which is not supported in WebSphere Portal by default. Update the sso_<n>.sp.idMap property via the Integrated Solutions Console to use the value "localRealm" instead of "idAssertion." The localRealm value ensures that WebSphere Application Server will complete the JAAS Subject with the full distinguished name for the user by querying the user registry and thus Portal will pass the correct format to VMM. Option #2:
bb5308704af905ee7c9ce1c8da361398_3
Transient user support [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSHRKX_8.5.0/mp/overview/new_cf08.dita?lang=en] has been introduced for SAML TAI [http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSHRKX_8.5.0/mp/wcm/wcm_secure_int_tai_auth.dita?lang=en] starting with Cumulative Fix (CF) #8 for 8.5. Refer to the WebSphere Portal Security blog [https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/8f2bc166-3bdc-4a9d-bad4-3620dbb3e46c/entry/portal_transient_user_support_with_was_saml_tai_business_case_clarification?lang=en] for more details regarding the business case and implementation details.

Symptoms: - It does not throw any exception and the application finished without any problem but the data is not actually loaded into the table. - If the same operation without XA transaction, it is succeeded and loaded data. - From jdbctrace, SQL20397W and SQL30090N are logged. The reason why: The cause of the problem is LOAD does internal commit near the beginning of operation. The load internal commit got back SQL30090 error is standard behavior in XA environment. So ADMIN_CMD + LOAD does not work on XA. Workaround: Unfortunately, there is no way to do ADMIN_CMD + LOAD on XA.
