Business Control Center Error

Sometimes I can’t login to the BCC. Usually when that happens I see errors like this in the logs.

page seeing error: /atg/templates/page/html/BizUIPageTemplate.jsp
error message: null

When this happens I first try clearing my cookies and then reloading the BCC login page.

When that doesn’t work I then remove the tmp and work directories.

$ cd /opt/jboss/home/server/merch
$ rm -rf tmp work

Then I restart the BCC and things seem happy again.

Fixing Existing Repository ID Errors

The other day I was trying to create a page repository item using the BCC when I got an error saying it could not create the item. Looking in the logs I saw this exception.

16:13:59,909 ERROR [RepositoryAssetService]
atg.repository.RepositoryException: createItem() was called with an existing ID : '3100007' for type 'page'. Use getItemForUpdate() instead.

The problem was the ID generator was producing ID’s that already existed in the database. This sometimes happens when things are imported into the BCC.

To fix this problem do the following.

  1. Look for the row in the das_id_generator table which has the item descriptor that is causing the error.
  2. Change the seed value (typically upwards) or put a prefix or suffix on it.
  3. Restart the server.

In this case I ended up running this SQL to fix the existing ID error:

UPDATE DAS_ID_GENERATOR SET PREFIX = 'pg_' WHERE id_space_name = ‘page’;
