Re: ACS Java Exception when trying to sign in

I didn't use the install program and haven't had a problem. I've done 13
PC's now,

Each PC has a C:\IBMiAccessClientSolutions folder. I replace the entire
contents of that folder with the new version *except* there is a Dilgard
subfolder structure that does not get replaced.

A line in the ACSConfig.properties file says
"com.ibm.iaccess.AcsBaseDirectory={PRODUCTDIR}/Dilgard" to point to this
subfolder. All the session definitions and whatnot are stored there.

Someone on this list recommended this many years ago and I adopted it.

The problem was resolved by IBM support. It seems that the old method of
just dropping the new acsbundle.jar into the directory is not sufficient
for this update. There are DLLs in the new 1.1.9.4 that have to be updated
as well. Specifically acsnative.dll. There are changes there that when
absent cause the problem.

We ran the full installation and that corrected the problem.

So when updating this ACS version, the install program is a requirement.

Can't say I have Jim. I updated to ACS 1.1.9.4 on Tuesday and it went
pretty smooth.
I have an "IBM i SQL" folder that I have to copy out of the previous
version
and copy it back in. I also keep Semeru JDE latest version in the ACS
folder ....

subject: ACS Java Exception when trying to sign in

We have a situation where a user upgraded the ACS to 1.1.9.4 (build 3480)
and now that user gets a local java error whenever the authentication

part

runs. After entering the password we get:
"MSGGEN005 - Internal Error. (java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot read
the array length because "<local5>" is null"

No change to the Java level. Anyone else seen this? I have opened a

case

with IBM.
