Known issues and workarounds
Find instructions and solutions to the known issues that you might encounter with IBM® Application Discovery for IBM Z®.
1. All IBM AD services are stopped and not restarted as expected when you reboot the Linux machine
When you reboot the Windows machine, all the services would be restarted automatically. However, when you reboot the Linux® machine, you find that none of the AD services get back up and running, which is a limitation to the Linux support at the moment. The workaround is to manually restart the four main AD services in order when the Linux machine completes its reboot.
- IBM AD
Service Manager:
<AD_INSTALL_DIRECTORY>/IBM Application Discovery Service Manager/startServer.sh
- IBM AD Web
Service:
<AD_INSTALL_DIRECTORY>/IBM AD Web Services/wlp/bin/server start ad_server
- IBM AD Configuration
Service:
<AD_INSTALL_DIRECTORY>/IBM Application Discovery Configuration Service/startServer.sh
After all the four main AD services are started successfully, you can start to use AD again.
2. IBM ADDI Service Manager does not automatically start after the configuration or upgrade process of IBM AD on Linux Red Hat 8 machine
After the configuration or upgrade process, it might be possible that ADDI Service Manager does not start automatically, which would cause IBM AD Configuration Wizard and IBM AD Upgrade Wizard not to complete successfully. The workaround is to manually start IBM ADDI Service Manager.
- Go to <IBM ADDI Installation Folder>/IBM Application Discovery Service Manager/ and locate the startServer.sh file.
- In case that the .sh file is not executable, open a terminal and run the
following command for flagging them as
executable.
chmod +x startServer.sh
- If the service does not start, check the
ad-service-manager.log
file located in the <IBM ADDI Installation Folder>/IBM Application Discovery Service Manager folder.
3. When upgrading from IBM AD V5.1.0.9 to IBM AD V5.1.0.9 iFix 1 on Linux Red Hat 8 machine, it might be required to set a new password for IBM AD GraphDB
In case that you have upgraded IBM AD from IBM AD V5.1.0.9 to IBM AD V5.1.0.9 iFix 1 on Linux Red Hat® 8 machine and you have decided to change the default IBM AD GraphDB port, it is possible to cause IBM AD GraphDB to not work correctly. The workaround is to manually set a new password and confirm it.
