After migrating to Wildlfy 15 / Jboss 7.2 and upgrading to 14.3 or 14.4, Identity Manager does not deploy correctly.

Products

• CA Identity Manager

Issue/Introduction

The startup shows completed, and if you access in a browser and login, but no tasks move beyond the initial creation stage and all sit in 'In Progress' in View Submitted Tasks. 

If we look in the standalone/deployments folder we see the deployment shows as failed:

Attempting to rename to .dodeploy and restarting results in the same behavior. 


The server.log shows the startup completing but issues with the iam_im.ear file:

Environment

Release : 14.4

Component : IdentityMinder(Identity Manager)

Resolution

This was caused by not having completed the Post migration step "Manual Performance Settings Post Migration" to change the ActiveMQ EJB subsystem from using hornetq-ra.rar to activemq-ra.rar

Once the instances of in the standalone xml file, both the standalone-full.xml and the standalone-full-ha.xml (even if not in a clustered environment) have the references to hornetq-ra.rar changed to activemq-ra.rar the startup is able to complete the deployment and will complete tasks.
