to the JVM runtime log files to show the correlations of the events by matching their
timestamps.
Application server startup
The first thing to look for is whether there are any exceptions. Not all exceptions are critical to
the portal server. Some of them are due to the nature of multithreads of the application
server, and can be ignored. As long as the key services of WebSphere Application Server
and WebSphere Portal are started, the system should normally be fine. To find the set of the
WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Portal key services, refer to the Information
Centers of these two products.
The security configuration would be loaded early as shown in the log, and the following two
lines show that it is successfully loaded:
[8/2/07 11:52:24:734 EDT] 0000000a distSecurityC I
started successfully
[8/2/07 11:52:24:750 EDT] 0000000a distSecurityC I
true
WMM startup
wmmApp is the WMM Enterprise Java Been (EJB) installed on the Application Server. Its
successful startup is the first step for Portal security to function. If it fails to start, Portal
security will not work. The typical sequence of the startup in SystemOut.log should look like
the following:
[4/30/07 16:15:54:429 PDT] 0000000a ApplicationMg A
application: wmmApp
[4/30/07 16:15:55:728 PDT] 0000000a EJBContainerI I
start EJB jar: wmm.ejb.jar
[4/30/07 16:15:55:763 PDT] 0000000a EJBContainerI I
wmm.ejb.jar
[4/30/07 16:15:55:931 PDT] 0000000a EJBContainerI I
start EJB jar: wmm.internal.ejb.jar
[4/30/07 16:15:55:953 PDT] 0000000a EJBContainerI I
wmm.internal.ejb.jar
[4/30/07 16:15:55:995 PDT] 0000000a ApplicationMg A
started: wmmApp
Sometimes even though wmmApp is shown as started, WMM could still fail as follows:
[8/14/07 15:11:29:188 EDT] 0000000a WSMM Message E
com.ibm.ws.wmm.MemberRepositoryManager init Initialization failed due to invalid
property "supportedMemberTypes".
[8/14/07 15:11:29:203 EDT] 0000000a WSMM Message E
com.ibm.ws.wmm.objectimpl.MemberServiceBeanBase ejbCreate()
com.ibm.websphere.wmm.exception.InitializationException: Initialization failed due
to invalid property "supportedMemberTypes".
[8/14/07 15:11:29:234 EDT] 0000000a ExceptionUtil E
unexpected (non-declared) exception during invocation of method
"getConfigurationData".
In this case, a typo in wmm.xml was the cause of the error. The failure of wmmApp would
definitely cause PumaService in WebSphere Portal to fail, resulting in the failure of the portal
server itself.
