APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If you select a ruleset in the RES console, click the "Retrieve
  HTDS Description File" button, then choose the options:
  protocol type "REST", Format "OpenAPI - JSON", and finally
  click "Test", an error message gets displayed:
  
  An error
  occurred:
  org/slf4j/LoggerFactory
  
  This problem was reported
  using ODM 8.10.2 with WebLogic 12.2.1.3 and 12.2.1.4. It may
  also happen with previous versions of ODM, but is fixed in
  8.10.3
  

Local fix

• Add the missing JAR into the EAR file:
  
  1) open the
  jrules-res-htds-WL.ear with 7-zip for instance,
  2) expand and
  navigate to the directory
  "\jrules-res-htds.war\WEB-INF\lib\"
  3) drag and drop the
  slf4j-api-1.5.8.jar and slf4j-simple-1.5.8.jar that you can
  find in [ODM_HOME]\executionserver\lib
  4) when you close the
  jrules-res-htds-WL.ear file, select "Save into the .ear" (or
  similar option)
  
  Then you need to redeploy this .ear into your
  Weblogic application server. You may want to restart your
  Weblogic to be sure changes are taken into account.
