Known limitations and troubleshooting for IBM Content Navigator Admin REST API usage

Release Notes


Abstract

This technote contains known limitations and troubleshooting notes when you use the Admin API to automate processes of IBM Content Navigator.

Content

Known limitations
  • The /admin/v1/login endpoint returns the 500 Internal Server Error on Weblogic 14c.
     
    The Jackson library that comes with Weblogic is not compatible with the version of the Jackson library used by the Admin API. Edit the weblogic.xml file to use the Jackson library that comes with IBM Content Navigator instead.
     
    1. Stop IBM Content Navitator.

    2. Edit the weblogic.xml file in the ECMClient/configure/explodedformat/navigator/WEB-INF directory, e.g., C:\Program Files\IBM\ECMClient\configure\explodedformat\navigator\WEB-INF\weblogic.xml, to include 'com.fasterxml.*' as one of the packages to be loaded from the application.
     
    <prefer-application-packages>
    ...
    <package-name>com.fasterxml.*</package-name>
</prefer-application-packages>
    3. Repackage, redploy, and start IBM Content Navigator.
Troubleshooting notes
  • The /admin/v1/desktops/{id} endpoint returns the 400 Bad Request error.

    Set the following JVM argument in your application server and try again.
      
    -Dbind-type=true
