When the TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for SAP is installed before the TIBCO ActiveMatrix® Adapter for IBM i then this problem occurs.

This is caused by com.tibco.sflow.SResourceFactory class conflict. This class exists in both TIBCO ActiveMatrix® Adapter for IBM i  sflow.jar and TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for SAP  adr3palette.jar however they are different. Method createApplicationFromFile(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;) exists in TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for SAP  library but not TIBCO ActiveMatrix® Adapter for IBM i . After installing TIBCO ActiveMatrix® Adapter for IBM i , the TIBCO ActiveMatrix® Adapter for IBM i   libraries will be firstly used and the wrong class is loaded, which causes the method can’t be found by TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for SAP.

To resolve this issue, edit the designer.tra file and move the TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for SAP libraries to the beginning of the lines of tibco.env.CUSTOM_CP_EXT and tibco.env.CUSTOM_PALETTE_PATH value.  

For TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for SAP, Test connection fails with the error, “AEADR3-600009 Test Connection Failed: com.tibco.sflow.SResourceFactory.createApplicationFromFile(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)V”
