Maurice,

Can you try the ezair test again. On the second link I’m getting an error.

Linux firewalls are NOT your friend!!! When Harold rebooted the server on Friday iptables started and was blocking all traffic.

Subject: ezAir application URL does not work anymore
Importance: High

I can get to the admin console, but the link to the ezAir webapp no longer works:

Links that used to work on Friday:
http://haltstapp03/airadmin/login
https://ht.hq.halw.com/airadmin

I don’t know if this is related to the SSL problems we’ve been having, but any help would be much appreciated.

Other Stuff:

I had the Dave give permissions to the user in the database to hopefully fix the problem, no luck, we may need to delete some transaction files listed in the article instead:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21196663

Excerpt:

To remove the transaction logs, do the following:
(1) Stop the server.
(2) Delete the 'transaction' folder and all subdirectories.
(3) Restart the server.
The above exceptions will no longer occur.

Maurice,
We'll still need a security request that defines which database name and which user name to run the privileges for.

This is considered a work stoppage and should be resolved today.

The WebSphere application is throwing an error, that hopefully updates to database permissions will correct.  The user for the database defined in the application, is ezair.

Here’s are original article:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21196663

Excerpt steps from article, it would probably be best to use the original article though.

The solution is to give the Oracle user permission to perform the recovery, specifically to access the internal Oracle tables used to manage recovery.
This problem can occur with all versions of Oracle: 8i, 9i, 10g, and 11g.

Run the following commands as user SYS:

Maurice,
Please follow up with the your network team. From the trace route it seems that the request is timing out in HAL environment.

If necessary you can call SABRE (1-800-678-9460) to setup a conference call with HAL network team and SABRE technical team.

Sudo for web_app

Subject: sudo webapp on haldevjbs01

Sridhar,

I found the issues for using sudo to the webapp account. You need to run the following command in order to become the webapp user.
"sudo -u webapp /bin/bash" then enter your passwd. If you are in your home directory you will get a permissions error like the one below.

[szb@haldevjbs01 ~]$ sudo -u webapp /bin/bash
bash: /home/szb/.bashrc: Permission denied

That is because the user webapp doesn't have write permissions in your home directory but you are now user webapp. Just cd out of your home directory. If you want to make sure your now webapp type "id" on the command line.

Thanks-

Mike Schumacher

Hi All,

If there are any other details regarding this project/application, I would suggest putting them on this page.

I spoke with Harold yesterday and he got the necessary info from the above wiki page and he restarted the App.
