Error description
The customer is reporting a problem where they say that when they deploy their HATS EAR file, which has been enabled using the runtime enablement jar file, they will get an error telling then that they have exceeded the number of licenses and only 2 users are able to connect in. The problem appears to be a result of some settings being removed or reset in the runtime.properties file. In the customer's runtime.properties file the values for numLicenses and licenseHardLimit look to be getting erased and reset to default values from HATS. As a result, the default values only allow 2 connections and this is why the end users are not able to connect.
Local fix
Copy over valid values for numLicenses and licenseHardLimit into the runtime.properties file on the WAS server.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users with a HATS application deployed to * * a WebSphere Application Server. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The parameters numLicenses and * * licenseHardLimit are being removed * * from the runtime.properties file at * * runtime. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** In certain situations the numLicenses and licenseHardLimit parameters were being removed from the runtime.properties file of a deployed HATS application. The root of the problem seemed to be that the runtime.properties file was being overwritten with default values during runtime.
Problem conclusion
The HATS code was modified to prevent the runtime.properties file from being overwritten during the running of the application if there were valid values read previously by the runtime. More checks are done to verify the values before they are written to the runtime.properties file.
Temporary fix
