Workflow Template Administration - "java.security.AccessControlException: access denied"

Hi,

I have a Windchill 10.1 M020 installation. When trying to "edit" a particular workflow from the "Workflow Template Administration", the window that says:

"Warning: Do not close this window. Closing this window automatically closes all related workflow windows, which may result in data loss."

.. opens up but it is not followed by another one in which I can actually see and edit the workflow. The "loading" sign appears on the main Windchill page but nothing happens thereafter. I get the following error on the Java console:

Exception in thread "Thread-12" java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission plm.mphasis.com:5003 connect,resolve)

All that I have tried so far:

1. Clearing all caches (browser, java, windchill) and restarts

2. Run makejar command

3. Downgrade JRE to version 6u26

4. Installed security patch: 10.1-M020_SUP8

5. Cache clear and restart after temp patch installation.

All above has been in vain so far and nothing I do would get the applet edit window up. Any suggestions?

This would be one of a number of things that broke due to recent Java Plug-In changes.

Get and apply the latest Windchill patch(es) to workaround these issues. Sorry, I don't know what the ids of these patch(es) are -- simply that generic patches exist to address this issue.

Actually I did apply the latest patch that was realeased for 10.1 M020 - "10.1-M020_SUP8", but that did not help. But then I found out that apparently having 127.0.0.1 in the hosts file creates problems for the workflow template admin while the other applets work fine. So I am attempting to re-install WC with this entry in the hosts file removed. Lets hope it work this time.

So you are playing with the hosts file. In that case better assignn the actual IP of the machine to the host name OR you can change the DNS suffix of your machine to avoid changes due to the IP.

hope that helps
