This is a continuation of the following posts:
The plan this time is to try to see how well we can handle errors. I have been having trouble with some of my production programs crashing when I have taken all the necessary steps to trap and handle the error. So, we’ll see how this goes …
This is another look at an old post. In summary, the problem is that when you create a Component Interface for the Job Data component, PeopleTools errors. I decided to attempt to diagnose the PeopleTools bug by tracing it.
I tried this in PeopleTools 8.49.
Here are the last lines of the trace file:

Here is the insert statement that the error message reported:
INSERT INTO PSBCITEM (
BCNAME, BCTYPE, BCITEMPARENT, BCITEMNAME,
SEQUENCE_NBR_6, BCACCESS, BCSCROLL, BCSCROLLNUM,
BCSCROLLNAME, RECNAME, SUBRECNAME, FIELDNAME, COMMENTSHORT,
MPDEVICEPERSISTINT, SYNCID
) VALUES (
:1, :2, :3, :4,
:5, :6, :7, :8,
:9, :10, :11, :12, :13,
:14, :15
)
So, I looked up the table, and the keys are the first four fields: BCNAME, BCTYPE, BCITEMPARENT, and BCITEMNAME.
Assuming the last row is the duplicate, that means that another row has the same parent and name as:
Type = 4
Parent = JOB_JR
Item Name = INTCP_DEPTID
I did a search through the trace, and the INTCP_DEPTID only exists in this one location. So, I don’t know what the problem is — our mystery goes unsolved. What makes it more confusing is that saving a second time fixes the problem.
Maybe I will pull all of the Bind values into an Excel and see if I can find duplicates that way. But, that is an exercise for another day.
I have been attempting to install Tuxedo on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5. The installation presented several problems, and so, I thought it might be helpful to blog the fixes.
Both errors appear to be part of the InstallAnywhere installation system. So, the fixes that I found were not specifically for Tuxedo or even PeopleSoft/Bea.
The first error output looked like this:
awk: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory dirname: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory /bin/ls: error while loading shared libraries: librt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory basename: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory dirname: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory basename: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory hostname: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory grep: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory /tmp/install.dir.5362/Linux/resource/jre/bin/java: error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Tuxedo 9.1 base installation complete
I found the fix here. Basically, you comment out the part of the script that sets the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL variable. You can’t just use any text editor or even vi because the file actually contains the binary installation files zipped up in it. Instead, this sed command seems to work:
cd linux/sles9/base/ cp tuxedo91_32_SLES_9_x86.bin ../Install.bak chmod +w tuxedo91_32_SLES_9_x86.bin cat ../Install.bak | sed "s/export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/#xport LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/" > tuxedo91_32_SLES_9_x86.bin
That fixed part of the problem. But, I still received this error:
awk: cmd. line:6: warning: escape sequence `\.' treated as plain `.' ======================================================= Installer User Interface Mode Not Supported Unable to load and to prepare the installer in console or silent mode. =======================================================
The awk… message looks like it is a problem, but that can be ignored. A couple of searches showed that other people’s successful installs had this error message. As best I can tell, the problem lies in the packaged version of Java.
To fix the problem, I first had to install Java. GCJ comes installed by default. I installed Sun’s Java 1.5 by downloading and installing jdk-1_5_0_16-linux-i586-rpm.bin.
Then, I found an article that explains how to override the JVM used by the installer. To make this work, you need to edit (with either the vi command or the gedit command) the install.sh. Change the line from (line #259):
sh $INSTALL_BINARY -f $SILENT_INSTALL_FILE > $INSTALLER_OUTPUT;
to:
sh $INSTALL_BINARY LAX_VM /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_16/bin/java -f $SILENT_INSTALL_FILE > $INSTALLER_OUTPUT;
After that fix, tuxedo finally installed for me!
If you create a basic component interface on JOB_DATA allowing Application Designer to default all of the properties, Application Designer generates a unique constraint error the first time you try to save the new component interface.

I don’t know why but it just worked the second time.
If you are coding an Application Package, and you get this error message:
PeopleTools Affirm Triggered
PSAFFIRM(!pItemFound) failed at e:\pt846-908-r1-retail\peopletools\src\inc\stringhash.h, line 157. See trace file. Press Cancel for debugger.
Here is the solution:
Basically, you have a property with the same name as one of your instance variables. For example:
class ExampleClass
method ExampleClass();
property String ExampleDescription get set;
private
instance String &ExampleDescription;
end-class;
To fix the problem you can change it to:
class ExampleClass
method ExampleClass();
property String ExampleDescription get set;
private
instance String &strExampleDescription;
end-class;
