Xpert.ivy Server Version 3.9 Build 52 Patch 6 on modern Windows Server OS and MS SQL

sys-adm — Wed, 26 Feb 2020 07:27:38 -0500

Hello,

We have Xpert.ivy Server Version 3.9 Build 52 Patch 6 running on an old Windows Server 2003. Is it possible to install this on a modern server OS? In the install guide they say it will run up to Windows Server 2008 R2. Is it possible to install on Windows Server 2019? Have anyone other tried this? Can Axon.ivy give some support for this configuration?

Also is it possible to use a newer MS SQL Server? Should support up to 2008 R2. When we can do a rebuild on a mordern server OS we will also upgrade our database server to a newer SQL like MS SQL Server 2019.

Thanks Regards sys-adm

No free Port found when starting Ivy

fabien — Thu, 13 Dec 2018 07:37:56 -0500

Hi,

When I start a fresh Axon Ivy on a server (Debian linux 64 bits), I get these logs :

LOAD LOG4J: Use user.dir configuration file:

AxonIvyEngine5.1.13.55909_Linux_x64/configuration/log4jconfig.xml
java.io.IOException: No free Port found within range 49153-49353

Is there a way to specify another port in any configuration files ? The specified port are not free on my system..

Thanks for your reply.

How can I enable HTTP/2.0 support for Ivy Engine

dieuph — Mon, 01 Oct 2018 05:53:38 -0400

Hi all, I try to improve the application performance by using HTTP/2.0. Currently, I'm using Ivy 7 and Nginx 1.10.3.

I make some configuration following https://dev.to/grigorkh/how-to-set-up-nginx-with-http2-support-2mgb , but seems like it's not as my expectation.

Does anyone try to enable HTTP/2.0 for Ivy Engine before?

Thanks.

64bit Server and 32bit Clients

Gerald — Fri, 20 Oct 2017 07:18:27 -0400

Hi all,

I was wondering if I can use a 64-bit Engine with increased java memory (we used 8GB in the server config file) in combination with 32-bit Clients.

We are using an Ivy application with ULC, the engine is running on version 6.0.11 and struggle with the situation that we can run the server but clients will not start. It looks like that the 8GB configuration of the server is transfered to the clients which cannot use that amount of memory (32-bit) and therefore fail to start.

Do I miss something here or is this combination of 64-bit server and 32-bit clients not possible.

Thx and BR,

Gerald

Ivy log files are empty when accessed through an upstream server

Marco Klauenbösch — Tue, 21 Mar 2017 10:49:20 -0400

Hello everybody

We got Ivy running on a windows server. A few weeks ago, we added an upstream Linux Apache Server which connects via AJP. When the Ivy application is accessed through this Linux server, the log files don’t get written anymore. The log files are generated every day but they are just empty. Also generated files with Java (e.g. Excel-Files) are damaged and can’t be read correctly. If we access the application locally through http, the log file gets written and the files can be generated and read.

Could someone please help us figure out why these logs are turning out empty and how to fix it? Thanks in advance

Changing the Security System

Stelt0 — Fri, 10 Feb 2017 09:52:07 -0500

Hello IvyTeam,

Is it possible to change the security system of application once it has been set ?

Let`s say I want to start with Ivy Users and at some point to change to Active Directory ?

Best Regards, Yordan Yunchov

start ControlCenter.sh in headless mode

RemiMorin — Wed, 01 Feb 2017 17:17:36 -0500

I try to start the ControlCenter in headless mode, but I hit this error: java.awt.HeadlessException: No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it.

There is no XServer on this machine so the error does make sens. Documentation mention we can start it in command line mode: http://developer.axonivy.com/doc/latest/EngineGuideHtml/misc.html#misc-toolreference-servercontrolcenter

But I can't manage to make it work. I've try various switch and various syntax (-headless, -h) and try to display an help file somehow (-?,?... )

I've try to figure it out by looking at ControlCenter.sh content, control.conf and launcher.sh. Didn't find anything relevant. This is on our version of engine 6.0.5. I've try to run the 6.3 version as well (present on this server) and I got the same exception.

How to start an Axon.ivy project in a Docker container

DanielGauch — Fri, 20 Jan 2017 11:22:37 -0500

I saw, that there is an "unofficial" docker image of the Axon.ivy engine available here: axonivy-engine on Docker Hub

The Docker way of running an application in a container is to include the application itself in the image, rather than just providing the execution environment in an container. Is there a way to run the whole application (aka Axon.ivy project) in a container?

Migration of Active Directory Server

RMS71 — Mon, 04 Jul 2016 14:05:20 -0400

I am migrating an enviroment onto new Servers. The Active Directory Servers are being migrated too.

When I Switch to the new AD Server, what will happen to the Users which have all been designated one or more Roles?

Will the Users be deleted and reimported, so that one will have to reassign the 200+ Users to their respective roles, or will the Users keep their Roles?

Upgrade Ivy Server from 4.3.x to 6.0.x

RMS71 — Fri, 10 Jun 2016 10:58:54 -0400

Is it possible to Upgrade a 4.3.x Ivy Environment (single Server with Running Application(s)) directly to a 6.0.x Environment, or do I have to upgrade it to a Version 5.1 Environment first?

Newly downloaded Axon.ivy Designer or Engine/Server does not start

SupportIvyTeam — Wed, 30 Dec 2015 09:36:43 -0500

What can I do if a newly downloaded Axon.ivy Designer or Engine/Server does not start at all?

How can we get the kind of Engine that runs the code (Server or Designer) ?

Emmanuel — Thu, 17 Dec 2015 20:56:05 -0500

Hello all!

Does anybody know an easy way to get if an AxonIvy Application runs on a designer or on a Server? Or with other words how can we get the kind of Engine that runs the code (Server or Designer) ?

Thanks in advance

How to configure (INFO) logging upon entering Axon Ivy subprocesses ?

knd — Tue, 05 May 2015 11:59:54 -0400

Currently, the Axon Ivy server only logs the database transactions and web service activities without explicitly using ivy.log.info() within the code.

For the purpose of debugging, what we want to achieve is the same INFO logging at each subprocess's entry regardless of whether or not the flows contain database transactions and web services. Two pending questions are:

How do we configure Axon Ivy server so that the logging happens automatically at entering the subprocesses with those subprocesses' information?
For performance purpose, we might not want to log all the subprocesses but only a few selected ones. Is there whitelist configuration coming along?

Thank you in advance.

I would like to modify a log level in production without having to restart the server

A1234 — Fri, 28 Nov 2014 16:49:39 -0500

Sometimes we want to change the level of logging of a server in production.

I am not sure this is possible without restarting the server, which is often difficult to manage depending of the customer.

I know that log4j supports a way to dynamically reload the configuration when a file change has been detected. See configureAndWatch.

Is it supported in Ivy 4.x/5.x? Is there something we can do to enable this feature?

Access IHttpRequest object

ahatius — Wed, 26 Nov 2014 14:23:22 -0500

Is there any way I can gain access to the object that implements IHttpRequest so that I can eventually get the HttpServletRequest object?

I'd like to be able to read HTTP-Headers from within the application (I'm not talking about GET or POST parameters, I want the HTTP Headers). The ivy.request object only enables me access to the GET parameters.

Mail simulation on server

ahatius — Mon, 24 Nov 2014 15:06:52 -0500

The Designer provides the function to test the mail step - it always sends the mail to the developer but shows to who it should have been sent.

Is there any way I can get this behaviour on the server? After testing everything on the designer, I'd like to test everything on the server - unfortunately this would send each mail to the real person which would be a bit annoying.

Use different primefaces themes for projects

HaraldWeber — Wed, 06 Aug 2014 12:14:12 -0400

In the help topics its written that primefaces themes has to be installed in the servers/designers webapps directory. With this setting themes are configured globally for all projects. What if i want to apply different themes for different projects? Do i have to start ivy server instances for each theme?

The primefaces documentation says: "...this approach requires you to create a jar file and add it to the classpath of your application"

So the designated way to apply themes, is at the project level not the server level.

How can I apply a theme only for one project?

Is there a docker image available?

DanielGauch — Mon, 28 Jul 2014 09:16:01 -0400

I'd like to run the Axon.ivy Engine in a docker container. Is there a docker image available for that?

How can I configure the connector settings of the Ivy Server/Engine?

Christian Strebel — Tue, 15 Jul 2014 16:39:43 -0400

Where can I configure the connector settings of the internal tomcat in the Ivy Server/Engine? In a normal tomcat the connector can be configured in the conf/server.xml file:

...
<connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000"
redirectPort="8443"
compression="on"
compressionMinSize="1024"
compressableMimeType="text/css,application/javascript" />

ivy.html.taskListRef() as SYSTEM user (URL to tasklist)

Wanderhirt — Wed, 09 Jul 2014 17:16:13 -0400

I have a task running as SYSTEM user. This task should send a email a user containing a link to the ivy task list (of course the user must login when following the link ...).

BUT any call to ivy.html.taskListRef() is throwing an error (script step or output tab). If a call ivy.html.taskListRef() running as a valid/logged in user it works.

But how can i receive the common URL as SYSTEM user ???

Or are there any other ways to get a correct link/ref ??

This just work only one time when I restart Ivyserver. Thanks in advance for any idea support me about this problem!!!

How does an EventBean act in a cluster

Adrian Imfeld — Wed, 28 May 2014 14:27:41 -0400

We do some broadcast calls from plain Java, with an self written EventSubscriber for Event Start elements. This EventSubscriber catches an identifier and works fine in the Designer. It looks to works fine on the server as well. The EventSubscriber extends AbstractProcessStartEventBean which extends IProcessStartEventBean.

Is this also works correctly when we run the server as a cluster? We expect that the event is starting just ones.

Too much connect to Ivy Server via IIS

namanhem — Thu, 08 May 2014 12:36:07 -0400

Hello everyone

Is there any way to config IIS Server and Ivy Server open more than 300 connections?

I have an application run on Ivy Server, and i can connect to application from Internet via IIS server. My problem: if there are more than 300 connection to Ivy Server, the IIS Server is crashed, then i can not connect to Ivy Server too -:)

I configured worker.XpertIvyServer.max_packet_size and WebServer.AJP.PacketSize but IIS Server alway crash if there are too much connection

Do you have any solution to make IIS not crash?

I use Window Server 2012 and Ivy Server 5.0.5

Thank so much,

WebService Request Proxy Port

Sergej — Fri, 10 Jan 2014 13:08:20 -0500

Hello ivy Team

Following question - I have to set up an enviroment where WebService Request(https) from ivy.Server should go over a proxy.

Following system properties are edited:

Xpert.ivy Server Administrator / System Properties /

WebServer.HTTPS.ProxyPort: 8080
WebServer.HTTPS.ProxyName: proxy.xyz.local

But the request goes over port 63187 (?) as source to port 443 as destination.

Is there an additional place for configuration?

Thank you in advance.

How to change the certificate for SSL/HTTPS?

We use SSL/HTTPS to access the Ivy server. We want to exchange the certificate with our own. How can we do this?
