Incorrect time in logs of Content Collector for SAP after changing of timezone

In our Filenet ECM system we use Content Collector for SAP.
After changing time in October 2014 (in our case - Russia, Moscow, UTC+3) we patched all of Java jre in our environments using IBM jtzu patch. After that WAS shows correct time in the logs but Content Collector - does not. In spite of update it shows old time (UTC+4).
What to do?

I've installed ODM 8.7 using multiplatform distributive and there is not DS Events profile in PMT. What to do?

If you installed ODM 8.7 using multiplatform distributive you can discover after its installation the absence of Decision Server Events profile in Profile Management Tool. What to do?

IBM BPM 8.5.5. It's impossible to create users using ProcessAdmin console (Part 2)

During creating some user using Process Admin console you can get the message:

ERROR: com.lombardisoftware.core.TeamWorksException: UOWManager transaction processing failed; nested exception is com.ibm.wsspi.uow.UOWException: javax.transaction.RollbackException: Global transaction rolledback from client inactivity timeout from subordinate

The user is not created.

SSL does not work in a BPM 8.5.5 configuration with on-demand router

I created BPM 8.5.5 environment, transformed it into a dynamic cluster, created on demand router (ODR), and published its plugin-cfg.xml on my web server as it is written in IBM Knowledge Center.
I can open BPM portals, ODR works, but only through http protocol. https does not work. What to do?

How can I change the hostname in an already configured Business Process Manager environment? The way of real geek.

Have You Tried Turning It Off And On Again?

"The IT Crowd"

 
Undoubtedly, IBM support are good guys but they have not enough a fantasy, a flight of mind, an imagination. They are limited by official guides and reglaments.
Not so long ago they created a new portal named dwAnswers, and now they are inventing questions and answering themself on them.
Yesterday I saw a good question and the typical answer of IBM support. Let's look at it:

IBM BPM 8.5.5. It's impossible to create users using ProcessAdmin console (Part 1)

You attempt to create user using ProcessAdmin console in 8.5.5.
You enter correct name and password but nothing.

2014. Moscow goes back to winter

Not having found a more smart targets, we decided to return the Winter Time. So in the night of 25/26.10 Moscow will set time upon hour ago.

It is very joyful news for any Russian sysadmins which always waiting for a possibility to work in the weekends. It is the sarcasm.

My quick way for WAS admins and others.

WebSphere Application Server password decoder (decryptor). Total recall.

I have already written about decoding WAS passwords here:
http://bpmadmin.blogspot.com/2012/12/how-to-restore-was-bpm-administration.html

Now,  you need not remember the big commands. On any page of my blog you can decrypt your password.
Just enter it into the field and press the button "Decode". Save your time!

IBM System Dashboard for ECM. Average Response Time - what's this?

Last two weeks I have to recall a programming because we need to monitor some production FileNet environment. I write some reporting system what use an information from IBM System Dashboard for ECM. I think, it is rather useful utility and can be a solid basis of some simple monitoring system.

Unfortunately, I had to explore algorithms of counting of  parameters and a compliance of parameters myself.

It's impossible to map some group to role in Connections 5

Now I'm dealing with new Connections version 5.

During its installation I had a issue with mapping the necessary group to role using ISC.
Granting access to global metrics
But I had a trouble. When I press the link Save in ISC for storing the configuration - I get white frame and the configuration does not change.

FileNet 5 ConfigMgr does not start on RedHat 6

After installing FN Content Engine (5.2 in my case) you want to run configmgr.
But it does not run without any errors.
Go to /root/configmgr_workspace/.metadata/.log and look at:

Deploying ESBStockQuoteSample on BPM 8.5

Especially for Srinivasa Raju

Tell you the truth, I don't understand reasons for including the Samples in BPM 8.5 because it is impossible to deploy them without some dances with tambourines :)

How to change WAS profile name

I don't know where it can be used :) but for any case.

I have (for example) an WAS instance and some profiles in it and I want to change ProcCtr01 profile name to PCenter.

SPNEGO SSO in IBM BPM clustered environment

As you know, for Windows client Integrated Authentication in IBM WAS the mechanism called SPNEGO (The Simple and Protected GSS-API Negotiation Mechanism) is used.
Our BPM users can access to portals without input of username and password, using their Windows account.  

I won't give a detail guide because the old guide you can find here
But there is not a way for clustered environments here what are used in productive most frequently.
I can fill this defect.
I describe the features for clusters.

Response files for deploying ODM on Solaris

I continue to torment Solaris.
Now I make deploying IBM ODM 8.0.1 on this platform.

First I created Decision Server profile using this response file:

How to restore WAS BPM 8.5 administration password?

I have already written about restoring of BPM Admin password here
There are some changes in BPM 8.5 securuty.

The password of database user expired and you don't have an access in BPM. What to do?

At first some theory.
A standalone BPM environment (7.5-8.0) uses a database-base internal repository (DBR) for storing of accounts by default. If your database is down you cannot enter into BPM.
A clustered BPM environment does not use DBR by default, it uses WebSphere file-based user repository (FBR). A standalone environment contains FBR too, but it is not active.

I had this problem when I started to use Oracle DB as BPM database. Default user profile in Oracle has two settings: a password will be expired after 120 days and the user account will be locked 7 days after password expiration. So, if you use Oracle you must change these setting to UNLIMITED at once.
But others databases have analogical problems too.

What do do in these case:
