Troubleshooting
Problem
Apache Tiles is out of support and no longer provides security updates. It is IBM policy to remove such packages from our products. This requires remediation of OpenPages custom helpers that are using Apache Tiles.
Symptom
Custom helpers don't work.
The messages log contains the following:
TilesConfigurer is not available by default. To enable it, the following tiles-related jars but be added to /home/opuser/OP/OpenPages/aurora/op-ext-lib:
