Troubleshooting
Problem
Attempts utilize any functionality in IBM Rational Team Concert results in a service failing error related to the ContentService.
Symptom
When trying to save configuration changes, such as Project Area configuration, or utilize any other functionality in Rational Team Concert, the following error will be seen in the jazz.log file:
CRJAZ0098I The service "com.ibm.team.repository.common.transport.IDirectWritingContentService{/jazz/service com.ibm.team.repository.common.transport.IDirectWritingContentService}" failed. The server returned the http error 400 with error text "Bad Request". Examine any further details here or look in the server log files for more information on how to resolve the issue.
This behaviour may also resonate in the form of the following error:
CRJAZ1092I The service class
"com.ibm.team.repository.service.internal.ContentService" failed during
activation.
.... Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: CRJAZ0889I Error initializing content service; could not create the temporary directory "..jazz/server/tmp/contentservice".
This may correspond to the following error in the WebSphere Application server log file:
[ WebContainer : 4179] ERROR com.ibm.team.repository - Error retrieving the files present in the content temp directory "/webdata/logs/was61/appsrv/rtc/tmp/contentservice/unclaimed"
Cause
IContentService is an interface class which stores content in a two step process.
This requires the temporary directory <directory>/tmp/contentservice.
If the temporary directory folder is removed, the two step process of storing content cannot be completed.
Environment
Rational Team Concert using WebSphere Application Server
Resolving The Problem
To ensure this folder is present and correctly utilized by the IContentService, the following steps should be applied:
- Create the temporary directories and set the configuration variables in <jazz install directory>/server/conf/jazz/teamserver.properties to point to those directories:
- com.ibm.team.repository.tmpdir=/jazz_tmp/repository
- com.ibm.team.scm.vcs.tmpdir=/jazz_tmp/vcs
- com.ibm.team.scm.tmpdir=/jazz_tmp/scm
- Verify that the operating system users have full read/write permissions to the above temporary directories.
- Ensure that there is a folder in the following directory (as listed in the error):
<websphere install directory> ../webdata/logs/<WAS Version>/appsrv/<RTC Application Name>/tmp/contentservice/unclaimed
