Description

Error while connecting to iProcess Engine via BW. Running a test in the Designer generated the following error.

BW-IPROCESS-000053 Connection Test Failed. Unable to establish connection to the iProcess Objects Server.  Exception [java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError] occurred
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no icudt36 in java.library.path

Environment

TIBCO iProcess Engine (Windows / SQL Server) 11.5.0 TIBCO iProcess Technology Plug-ins 11.5.0 TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 64-bit

Resolution

The BusinessWorks iProcess Plug-in (installed in BusinessWorks) uses the iProcess Server Objects (iPSO) to connect to the iProcess Objects Server. The iPSO API is installed under TIBCO_HOME\bw\plugins

On a Windows platform the library / dll files are installed in TIBCO_HOME\bw\plugins\bin

The installer provides the following 32-bit library files under TIBCO_HOME\bw\plugins\bin
    icudt36.dll
    icuuc36.dll
    ssoJNI.dll

This is a 64-bit BusinessWorks platform.

The resolution is two fold:

1).  Update the 32-bit iPSO library /dll files under TIBCO_HOME\bw\plugins\bin with 64-bit versions.
    The version of the iPSO library files depends on the version of the iProcess Technology Plug-in installed.
    The iProcess Technology Plugin 11.5.0 uses iPSO 11.4.1 .

2).  Update the designer.tra and bwengine.tra file to include %BW_PLUGINS_HOME%/bin
    This was performed by running the  by the iProcess Technology Plug-in 11.5.0 HF 05 installer.
    The hot fix only updates the tra files with the correct reference. The hot fix does not replace any files.
