Products

• CA Strong Authentication
• CA Advanced Authentication

Issue/Introduction

During CA Strong Authentication upgrade from version 9.1 to 9.3, we have to redeploy below war files

• \java\webapps\arcotadmin.war
• \java\webapps\arcotuds.war
• \java\webapps\aa-restapi.war

however one can get the undefined error, when trying to redeploy war files below error appeared:

{"WFLYCTL0062: The composite operation failed and was reverted. Failed steps:" => {"Operation step-1" => "WFLYCTL0216: Management resource '[(\"deploy
ment" => '/products/authminder/TLC3/CA/AdvAuth/java/webapps/arcotadmin.war)' not found"}}}

Environment

Release : CA Strong Authentication  9.1

Resolution

Here are some additional steps that one can try:

• Restart the WildFly (JBoss) or any other application server before redeploying the war files. This will ensure that there are no running processes that might be using the old war files.
• Before deploying the war files, make sure that the "webapps" directory is empty. You can do this by running the following command:
  • rm /products/authminder/TLC3/CA/AdvAuth/java/webapps/*
  • This will remove all files and directories inside the "webapps" directory. We can delete the targeted application that will be easier option.
• Try deploying the war files using the command below:
  • deploy /products/authminder/TLC3/CA/AdvAuth/java/webapps/arcotadmin.war --force
  • deploy /products/authminder/TLC3/CA/AdvAuth/java/webapps/arcotuds.war --force
  • Make sure that you see a message indicating a successful deployment for each war file.
• Verify that the war files have been deployed successfully by checking the logs in the "standalone/log" directory of your WildFly application server. Look for messages that indicate successful deployment of the war files.

Upgrading an application server can sometimes introduce compatibility issues with existing applications, and it's possible that the issue you are experiencing with the deployment of the war files is related to the specific versions of the WildFly application server.

 

Additional Information

Note: WildFly is the community version of the JBoss Application Server. It is an open source Java EE application server that is designed to be lightweight, modular, and highly customizable. WildFly is well-suited for a variety of use cases, ranging from small web applications to large-scale enterprise systems. It provides a wide range of features and services for building, deploying, and managing Java applications, including support for a variety of programming models and integration with popular development tools and frameworks.

EAP (Enterprise Application Platform) is a commercially supported version of the WildFly application server. It includes additional features and support services that are not available in the open source WildFly distribution. EAP is designed to be used in enterprise environments where stability, security, and support are critical considerations.

PS: We do not support the community version of the JBoss but only EAP, if customer is using it then it is not supported and one should use the EAP version.
