SSO failed to configure ObjectServer repository

If you see the following error after attempting to configure the ObjectServer repository for SSO, follow this troubleshooting procedure: JVMCFRE003 bad major version; class=com/ibm/tivoli/tip/vmm4ncos/ObjectServerAdapter, offset=6

About this task

This task describes how to troubleshoot SSO configuration as a result of a Java 6 SDK being selected as the default JRE. You first check whether Java 7 SDK is present and has been set as default SDK. If it has not, you install it if required, and then set it as default.

Procedure

Check that the Java 7 SDK has been installed with IBM Installation Manager.
1. Navigate to the bin directory in the AppServer directory on the serve. The default location is /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin
2. To view available SDKs, run the following command:
```
./managesdk.sh -listAvailable -verbose
```
Ascertain whether Java 7 SDK is present, and perform one of the following steps:
If Java 7 SDK is not present
1. Using the IBM Installation Manager, install Java 7 SDK.
2. Execute the following command to set Java 7 as the default SDK:
  ./managesdk.sh -setNewProfileDefault -sdkName 1.7_64
If Java 7 SDK is already present
1. Execute the following command to set Java 7 as the default SDK:
  ./managesdk.sh -setNewProfileDefault -sdkName 1.7_64
Restart Netcool Configuration Manager and reconfigure the ObjectServer as a repository.

Results

This troubleshooting procedure eliminates the JVMCFRE003 bad major version error.
