Question

Rehost issue - java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: ${domain}.Note

Hello all,
I recently did a rehost of our production server to a dev server
in another domain. Dev server is up and working fine most of the
functionality.
When searches are performed, it is giving following errors. Looks like the
old domain name is still lingering in either the configurations or
database.
I verified all the Windchill configuration files(site.xconf, wt.properties,
ie.properties,db.properties, web.xml, MapCredentials.xml). Also verified
the database tables Site, Repository, fvhost, wttypedefinition,
wttypedefinitionmaster,lwctypedefinition to make sure that the domain name
is changed to new one.
I am wondering if any one has seen this error before. Any ideas to debug
this issue would be helpful.


Thanks,
Prathap

Hi Prathap,


I believe that the Type Note is still pointing to the old domain.


Go to Type and Attribute Manager and check if Type Note is pointing to the old domain. If yes, then change the internal name as per new domain.


I hope this resolves your issue.

    Hi Prathap,



    I recalled your issue below from last week and I fixed it today on a
    development server where I exported LDAP to LDIF from one server at the
    ou=people level. I have known aobut this issue some time, so I knew how to
    fix it. The issue shown below is just a 10.x version of the issue.
    Sometimes when you install Windchill the organizations in the Windchill
    Directory Server use a domain that matches the entire fully qualified domain
    host name. Using an LDAP browser, navigate to ou=people and locate the one
    or more organizations (Windchill Organizations) you have by name. When you
    select it, you will see an attribute titled 'associatedDomain' where it's
    value might be servername.subdomain.domain.com and what you really want
    (what is okay) is for it to be subdomain.domain.com. It is the very fact
    that servername is included (some Organizations have them, some do not
    depending on what created them) that confuses Windchill, which knows
    ${domain} to be different.



    I'm not sure how you completed the rehost - did you use the new rehost tool?
    If so I would bring this to PTC's attention and get an SPR filed. I have
    fixed it multiple times on 9.1.



    Two things:

    1 - Shutdown Windchill, reclear caches

    2 - Backup LDAP before making change, or write down value of attribute in
    case you make a mistake



    Upon starting back up, also clear browser cache and cookies for Windchill,
    should see things working correctly again.



    I can provide a screenshot of this if need be, but I think this is fairly
    straight forward to figure out.



    Regards,

    David DeMay

    Hello Selvam, Karan and David
    Thanks for your input. I cleaned the tomcat and IE cache multiple
    times with no success. I did the rehosting manually by editing the ldap
    export file from source server and re importing into new server. I
    verified the ldap for any references to old domain name or old hostname and
    there are none. I modified the database tables also manually. I did
    rehosting with just hostname change many times successfully. However this
    is the first time I tried with rehosting with domain name change. I had to
    modify extra database tables in the process. Here are the list of files and
    tables that I modified/verified. Let me know if I have overlooked any other
    files.



    Windchill PDMLink 10.1

    Apache files.
    Apache/config.properties
    ant -f webAppConfig.xml regenWebAppConf
    Verified the following files
    Apache/conf/httpd.conf
    Apache/conf/extra/app-Windchill-Auth.conf
    Apache/conf/extra/app-Windchill-AuthProvider.xml
    Apache/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf

    Windchill configuration files
    Windchill/site.xconf
    Verified the following files
    Windchill/codebase/wt.properties
    Windchill/db/db.properties
    Windchill/codebase/WEB-INF/ie.properties
    Windchill/codebase/WEB-INF/web.xml
    Windchill/codebase/WEB-INF/mapcredentials.txt
    Windchill/tasks/wt/federation/MapCredentials.xml


    Database tables I modified
    1. Fvhost
    2. Repository
    3. Site
    For domain name changes I had to modify these extra tables
    4.* LWCTypeDefinition*
    *5. WTTypeDefinition*
    *6. WTTypeDefinitionMaster*
    *
    *
    Also I had to add following file to fix the CAD Document checkin
    *Windchill/codebase/EPMDefaultSoftTypes.xml*

    <softtypedescriptor xmlns="&lt;a style="COLOR: blue; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" target="_BLANK" href="http://www.ptc.com" &quot;=">http://www.ptc.com' xmlns:xsi='

    <objectclassinfo classtype="EPMDocument">
    <objecttypeinfo type="*">
    <softtypeinfo<br/>softTypeId="wt.epm.EPMDocument|com.amazon.aka.DefaultEPMDocument"/>

    <softtypeinfo subtype="*"&lt;br"/>softTypeId="wt.epm.EPMDocument|com.amazon.aka.DefaultEPMDocument"/>
    </objecttypeinfo>
    </objectclassinfo>
    </authappsofttypeinfo>
    </softtypedescriptor>


    Thanks,
    Prathap <    ">http://goo.gl/LuT5>
