Issue/Introduction

The following error message is seen in the AAM joblog when trying to start AAM. Why is this issue occurring?

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Can't load JNIMfa00

Resolution

The AAM started task either doesn't have permission to libJNIMfa00.so in the AAM home directory or cannot find the file in the path specified. 

1. Verify that the started task has access to libJNIMfa00.so in the AAM home directory. An ls -E command can be used to view the file permission bits. The AAM started task user should be the owner of this file.
2. Verify that the directories specified for MFA_HOME, J2Z_HOME and JAVA_HOME are mounted. 
3. Verify that the LIBPATH definitions in MFAPARMS are correct.
