Maximo SOAPUI error javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException


SOAPUI error while sending payload to below url (in cluster environment)

http://localhost:9080/meaweb/services/MXASSET

Error:

<faultcode>soapenv:Server</faultcode>
 <faultstring>javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException</faultstring>

Systemout log error:
CNTR0020E: EJB threw an unexpected (non-declared) exception during invocation of method "wsSecureProcessMOS" on bean "BeanId(maximoui#mboejb.jar#mosservice, null)". Exception data: java.lang.NullPointerException


Cause: This error occurs in cluster environments. MEAMDB is configured for MIF cluster and its port is 9082 in my case. But I was using UI port 9080.

Solution 1: change port in url 
http://localhost:9082/meaweb/services/MXASSET

Solution 2: This error may occur if AD is configured. If authentication is basic and userid & password is wrong, then this error occurs. Enter correct credentials.

and then send payload to it.

Maximo 7.6.1 not validate comments in condition

Recently I faced an issue while doing upgrade from Maximo 7.5.0.6 to Maxmo 7.6.1

There was a workflow condition contains sql comments like "--test commetns".

Maximo 7.5.0.6 - Go to condition expression manager --> select any object --> enter any valid query and also enter "-- test comments" --> click on test expression --> you will get validation successful

For example:
Object = PR
Condition=
:contact='xxxx'
--test comments

Click on "Test Expression" --> Validation Sucessful

Maximo 7.6.1 - Go to condition expression manager --> select any object --> enter any valid query and also enter "-- test comments" --> click on test expression --> ERROR: condition#ConditionInvalid

For example:
Object = PR
Condition=
:contact='xxxx'
--test comments

Click on "Test Expression" --> Error System Message popup "condition#ConditionInvalid"

Solution: Remove the comments in the condition.

Error in SOAPUI - axis2ns1:Server Internal Error

Error
Response:
      <soapenv:Fault xmlns:axis2ns1="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
        <faultcode>axis2ns1:Server</faultcode>
        <faultstring>Internal Error</faultstring>
        <detail/>
      </soapenv:Fault>

Solution:
Add custom property "webservices.unify.faults" as false in websphere.

Servers > Server Types > Websphere application servers > Application Servers > MXServer > Process definition > Java Virtual Machine > Custom properties > Create new property - webservices.unify.faults = false

Save to master configuration and Restart the Application Server

Note: In cluster environment, add property to all clusters.

Display "Select Action" menu on toolbar

In Maximo 7.6.1, system property is added to display "Select Action" menu on toolbar. Or else it will display on side bar.

System property name: mxe.webclient.showSelectActionInToolbar
Set to 1 to always show Select Action drowdown in the toolbar.

After Maximo upgrade toolbar actions are missing

When I upgrade to Maximo 7.6.1, toolbar options are not displayed.

Solution: Go to System Properties application --> search for "mxe.webclient.showOnToolbar"

Change global value to empty, I mean left it blank.


Save the property and do live refresh.

Enable/Disable MIF authentication


Disable MIF authentication:

In Maximo 7.6.1 --> System property --> mxe.int.allowdefaultlogin = 1
This property also overrides the ALLOWDFLTLOGIN settings in the ejb-jar.xml file for the default integration user.
source: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLKT6_7.6.1/com.ibm.mam.doc/overview/c_new_mif_sys_prop_.html

NOTE: Cluster environment, restart all the clusters.

Enable MIF authentication:

Maximo authentication is enabled by setting the mxe.useAppServerSecurity system property to 0 (false).
If maximo authentication is enabled, all HTTP-based inbound transactions must specify an HTTP header with the following attributes:
MAXAUTH
username:password (User credentials encoded to base64 format)

Note: I used this website to encode base64 https://www.base64encode.org/

Maximo Application Server authentication is enabled by setting mxe.useAppServerSecurity system property to 1 (true).

Take a backup of "ejb-jar.xml" from "maximo/applications/maximo/mboejb/ejbmodule/META-INF".
Modify "ejb-jar.xml" : ALLOWDFLTLOGIN as 1 (change 4 entries)
<env-entry>
<env-entry-name>ALLOWDFLTLOGIN</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
<env-entry-value>1</env-entry-value>
</env-entry>

The ALLOWDFLTLOGIN value must be set to 1 (true) for each of the following services in the XML file:
Enterprise Services
Object Structure Service
Standard Services
Workflow service

Note: The default integration user is not supported if you use the REST API or OSLC API. After you update the ejb-jar.xml deployment file, you must rebuild and redeploy the Maximo EAR file.

Always try above steps in non production environments.
