Description

Kernel update 2.6.32-696.3.2.el6.x86_64 from Linux / Unix Operating Systems (OS) to address security issue crashes Java while TIBCO iProcess Engine (iPE) is started. As a result RCP_TCP_LI could not be started which affects starting iPE itself.

Issue/Introduction

Linux kernel version 2.6.32-696.3.2.el6.x86_64 causes RCP_TCP_LI to crash

Environment

TIBCO iProcess Engine (Oracle) and TIBCO iProcess Engine (DB2) running on Linux / Unix operating systems.

Resolution

This is an incompatibility between the kernel update and Java rather than a bug in the iProcess Engine.

Based on the OS customers use, they should check for and apply a fixed kernel when it becomes available so the issue is resolved.

Until then, a temporary workaround is to add the jvm parameter "-Xss2m" in $SWDIR/etc/swjmx_classpath.properties file. This prevents jvm initialization error and allows iPE to start normally.
