13.1 Configuration Issues and Workarounds

This section describes configuration issues and their workarounds. It includes the following topic:

13.1.1 Log in to Authorization Policy Manager Fails

If you have upgraded the Oracle Entitlements Server (OES) Administration Server from version 11g R2 PS1 to 11g R2 PS2 in a high availability cluster environment and you are in the process of configuring high availability, you cannot log into Authorization Policy Manager (APM). When you start the APM Administration Server and managed servers then try to log into the APM console, the system returns the following exception:

javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException The class 'oracle.security.apm.ui.bean.ApmMainManagedBean' does not have the property 'roleTemplateEnabled'

To log into APM, you must manually redeploy APM in the Administration Console from IDM_HOME.

13.1.2 NullPointerException Occurs and Policy Does Not Save When OAAM Server Fails Over

If you are creating a policy in the Administration Console and one OAAM Server is down and failover occurs, a NullPointerException opens when you click Apply. The policy does not save successfully.

To resolve this issue, open the Create Policy page, enter the settings you had entered previously, and click Apply.

13.1.3 NullPointerException Occurs and Transaction Does Not Save When OAAM Server Fails Over

If you are creating a transaction in the Administration Console and the OAAM Server is down and failover occurs, a NullPointerException opens when you click Apply. The transaction does not save successfully.

To resolve this issue, open the Create Transaction page, enter the settings you had entered previously, and click Apply.
