Issue/Introduction

We have an error occurring in the VSM where if we make an external API call using the java.net.HttpURLConnection and java.net.URL class it will throw the error which wasn't present in 10.7.2.

We had another Broadcom case opened for a similar issue which was present in the VSI match script for which the solution below which fixed the issue in the VSI.

1. apply the patch patch_DE646815_10.8.4_GA.jar

2. add the property to the vm options file 1)(--add-opens=java.base/sun.net.www.protocol.https=ALL-UNNAMED)

 

Error message:

Environment

All supported DevTest releases.

Resolution

Added the new property to Workstation and all VSE vmoptions files:

--add-opens=java.base/sun.net.www.protocol.http=ALL-UNNAMED

Restarted the Utility VSE where the service is hosted, and tested in ITR and on VSE.

This resolved the issue.
