OWB client not working
Posted: Jul 27, 2005 9:56 PM

While I am trying to open owb client ( version - 9.2.0.4 ), its not opening. Running owbclient.bat from prompt I am getting the following error message:

Can anyone help me out?

Good morning,

Since this morning I'm encountering the exact same problem.
And it's not just me, everyone with OWB installed in this company has the same problem.

Checked on the Net, there is sufficient stuff to be found on "java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: java.lang.SecurityException: Cannot set up certs for trusted CAs" but it's hard to go through all that since I'm not a Unix man (how would I "make sure your java.security file is correctly set up"?).

I just logged a TAR with Metalink. As soon as Metalink has provided me with the solution it'll be on this forum as well.

Cheers, Patrick

Hi all,

It's got to do with Java(TM) Cryptography Extension (JCE).
All products from all vendors having bundled JCE 1.2.1 are encountering this problem now, since this has expired it seems.

Downloading the JCE 1.2.2 package from the Sun website and using this stuff to replace the JCE121 files will overcome the problem.

Cheers, Patrick

other solution is to set your system time back one day, and then start OWB

Good afternoon Liyakat,

I guess my TAR's not public (yet?), so here's the copy&paste from the TAR:

===================================================

SOLUTION / ACTION PLAN
=======================
To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:

Lookup Note 329607.1

here's the solution-part of it:

8<
Solution

Please follow the steps as given:

1. Download the JCE 1.2.2 package from the following web page:

http://java.sun.com/products/jce/index-122.html

2. Either reboot your Client machine or Stop all Oracle software.

3. Rename or remove the following files :

$OWB92_CLIENT_HOME/jdk/jre/lib/ext/US_export_policy.jar
$OWB92_CLIENT_HOME/jdk/jre/lib/ext/jce1_2_1.jar
$OWB92_CLIENT_HOME/jdk/jre/lib/ext/local_policy.jar
$OWB92_CLIENT_HOME/jdk/jre/lib/ext/sunjce_provider.jar

4. Copy the following files from the JCE 1.2.2 package to the directory OWB92_CLIENT_HOME/jdk/jre/lib/e
xt/ :

jce1.2.2/lib/US_export_policy.jar
jce1.2.2/lib/jce1_2_2.jar
jce1.2.2/lib/local_policy.jar
jce1.2.2/lib/sunjce_provider.jar

5. Rename jce1_2_2.jar as jce1_2_1.jar

6. Now try launching OWB 9.2 client.---------------------------------------------- 8<

Good luck, Patrick

Hi,

a really "practical" solution for this silly bug!;-) Fortunately they don't submit the tip to change the sysdate!

I hope they will fix this bug in a more professional way soon!

Bye

Hi,

I have just rebooted, applied the 'fix' above and rebooted again, just to make sure, but I still can't start OWB.

The OWB splash screen now disappears (whereas before it stayed on-screen forever) but the logon screen doesn't appear.

Has anyone else had this problem, and is there either another fix or something that I've missed or done wrong?

.Richard.

I have fixed my problem.

NOTE TO ALL - the files must be MOVED out of the \ext\ directory, not just renamed!

I had renamed my files to BACKUP_<filename>
Once I moved the files to another directory it worked fine.

Good morning,

That's not strictly true.
I'm working on W2K Pro (on a Compaq with a P4 in it) and simply renamed the existing files to <filename>.jar.old and then copied the new ones into this dir. After renaming the 1_2_2 o 1_2_1 it all works perfectly fine.

Maybe it depends on the OS, otherwise it could be due to the fact that if you prefix the filename with something, it is still a jar-file and therefore possibly gets picked up even though it has been renamed.

Cheers, Patrick
