Did you replace log4j components within Integration Server on your own ?

No, I just update the fix through update manager.

It seems the issue coming from Shared Libraries Loggers 10.5 Fix 2 10.5.0.0002-0247

If the issue can clearly be attributed to a fix as you have found out , it is best to raise a support ticket mentioning details of fixes applied.

Hi @abaabbad,

Can you please check if OSGI (Platform) Fix 18 is installed? If it is not, please try installing this fix and check if IS starts.

Thank you.

Hi @Bharath_V.K,

I was update all fixes to the latest version.

Please keep in mind that there is currently a severe vulnerabilitiy in log4j 2 API.

There is an article in Empower describing the affected versions and possibility how to mitigate.

Holger

Good day.
We have exactly the same error message using the Integration Server 10.11.0.0 Build 724 both in Linux and in Windows environment.
How to reproduce:

  1. Install Designer as usual, e.g. using SoftwareAGInstaller20220121-w64.exe from Empower.
  2. Verify that the “default” instance of IS is running properly
  3. Create new instance of IS by this command:
    ./is_instance.bat create -Dinstance.name=test
  4. For simplicity I omitted other options and added the license (unlimited) manually.
  5. Shutdown all running instances of IS
  6. Start new IS:
    /c/SoftwareAG_10_11/profiles/IS_test/bin/startup.bat

You get this error (full server.log attached) - IS crashed:
2022-02-14 12:34:00 CET [ISS.0014.0054C] (tid=93) Error occurred while initializing server: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: ‘boolean org.apache.logging.log4j.spi.LoggerContextFactory.isClassLoaderDependent()’ at org.apache.logging.slf4j.Log4jLoggerFactory.getContext(Log4jLoggerFactory.java:49) at org.apache.logging.log4j.spi.AbstractLoggerAdapter.getLogger(AbstractLoggerAdapter.java:48) at org.apache.logging.slf4j.Log4jLoggerFactory.getLogger(Log4jLoggerFactory.java:33) at org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.getLogger(LoggerFactory.java:358) at org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.getLogger(LoggerFactory.java:383) at com.maverick.ssh.SshConnector.(SshConnector.java:142) at com.maverick.ssh.LicenseManager.addLicense(LicenseManager.java:18) at com.wm.app.b2b.server.sftp.client.SFTPClientManager.initLicense(SFTPClientManager.java:118) at com.wm.app.b2b.server.sftp.client.SFTPClientManager.init(SFTPClientManager.java:138) at com.wm.app.b2b.server.sftp.client.SFTPClientManager.initialize(SFTPClientManager.java:110) at com.wm.app.b2b.server.Server.run(Server.java:655)

We would appreciate if somebody could give some hints on what is going on here.
Thank you.

I recommend creating a support ticket for this, particularly since you’ve identified the repro steps already.
Once you resolve it, do post the root cause and resolution to help others.

Can you please ensure that you reinstall the required platform fixes in your environment? This problem exists particularly when you create new instance after applying the fixes - webMethods Fixes for Log4j Zero-Day security vulnerability - Service project (softwareag.com) - Please make sure that following fixes are reinstalled.

Third-Party Libraries > Shared Libraries Loggers 10.11 Fix 2
Shared Bundles > Shared Bundles Loggers 10.11 Fix 2

Thanks Kalpesh. You nailed it. We did our Designer installation on 27.01.2022. The latest fixes came out on 09.02.2022.

Trial 1:

  1. Install all latest fixes using SAGUpdateManager.
  2. Start new IS (which was not working): /c/SoftwareAG_10_11/profiles/IS_test/bin/startup.bat
    => SUCCESS!
  3. Start Designer … and oh no …

We plan to do the same on our Linux server. I will report once we have good news.

Thank you very much again for your quick support.

Best regards,

Well. I discovered a strange behaviour here. The instance “test”, which was not working before the update, began to work after the update. And it is still working. But …
When I created afterwards a brand new instance “uat”, I got exactly the same error as described above.
I could reproduce the same behavior in our linux environment.
Bottomline: the update could heal corrupt instances, but cannot do anything for all new instances.
Any ideas?

@Veaceslav_Samohvalov , as I mentioned earlier, it is required to reinstall the fixes to ensure OSGi platform fixes are available in newly created instance. Did you try reinstalling the fixes mentioned earlier in newly created instance?

@Kalpesh_Shah1, thank you for clarification. I misinterpreted your first comment. So, the correct interpretation would be, as you mentioned already, to reinstall the fixes mentioned earlier in ALL newly created instances.
I can confirm, after the reinstallation of the fixes the new “corrupted” “uat”-instance started to load w/o problems.

Thanks again for your quick support.

Third-Party Libraries > Shared Libraries Loggers 10.11 Fix 2
Shared Bundles > Shared Bundles Loggers 10.11 Fix 2 I COULDN’T FIND THIS ONE
Infrastructure > Shared Platform > Platform Diagnostic 10.11 Fix 1

My instance is the default one. My error is:

Thanks

Hi Jesus,

remember to (re-)apply the TPP_10.5_Misc_Fix3 as well to use the updated JSch lib which is used by the SFTP feature.

Regards,
Holger

@Jesus_Carrillo1 :
Hi Jesus,
As mentioned already by Kalpesh and Thomas above, you have to reinstall the fixes mentioned earlier. Probably for the version 10.5 one has another set of fixes. I reinstalled the fixes using SUM with the “-overInstall true” flag.
Hope this helps.

Regards,
Veaceslav

Hi, Veaceslav and Holger.
I’ve overinstalled that fixes and server.

But when I’ve started the IS it failed again with the same error.

Hi Jesus,

Since we use the version 10.11 I cannot give you any hints on 10.5. But today I had some problems with the fixes too (it did not work at first). So I carried out a full update with all latests fixes. Then reinstalled the fixes related to log4j and it worked out. So maybe you can give it a try (if not done already). Otherwise, somebody from the SAG team should comment.

Best regards.
