[Progress Communities] [Progress OpenEdge ABL] Forum Post: Can't publish to AppServer or REST using PDSOE

[grolfe]

I am having trouble publishing to an AppServer and REST using PDSOE. Here are the details for the AppServer. Perhaps if that is cleared up, I can get REST to publish too. Running PDSOE 11.5.1 on Windows 7. The servers are remote and on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4. The Appserver was set up a long time ago by another and it predates me. I believe that the ubroker.properties was hand edited and PDSOE was not used (possibly not available then??). I have used Openedge Explorer to make configuration changes and that seems to have worked ok. However, when I try to use PDSOE to publish, it seems that I always end up with an error message dialog that states “A problem occurred while publishing files to the rms broker. Unexpected internal error. Check the OpenEdge Explorer log file for more details”. When I look in the admserv.log on the remote server, I see a line like: [2018/03/06@15:07:57.855-0500] [0] [*UnexpectedError*] * recorded as exception #182 in file ads0.exp. When I look in the ads0.exp I see a java exception that starts Exception at Tue Mar 06 15:07:57 EST 2018: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException Message (excp): null Stack Trace: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor285.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) and ends Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.node.TextNode.toString(TextNode.java:246) at com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.node.ArrayNode.toString(ArrayNode.java:745) at com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.node.ObjectNode.toString(ObjectNode.java:806) at com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.node.ObjectNode.toString(ObjectNode.java:806) at com.progress.fathom.FathomAPIUtil.jsonError(FathomAPIUtil.java:182) Any idea why I can’t publish from PDSOE? I am thinking it possibly might be because the AppServer started its life as a hand edited entity in ubroker.properties and now I am trying PDSOE and possibly missing some property that PDSOE can’t find? Note that the same publish error displays when I try to publish REST too. However, the restmgr1 never seems to start, so I think that may be a different issue. Thanks for any help.
