Bonitasoft 6.2. on Windows Server 2008R2, Tomcat 6 and SQL server database.

Q&A

Hi,

I followed all instructions to configure bonitasoft for SQL server. When I start bonitasoft the tables in the database are created (which proves that the credentials and permissions are okay). However, I keep getting the same error after the tables have been created.

First:

Mar 05, 2014 6:25:00 PM bitronix.tm.recovery.Recoverer recoverAllResources
WARNING: error running recovery on resource 'jdbc/bonitaDSXA', resource marked as failed (background recoverer will retry recovery) (error=XAER_RMERR)
javax.transaction.xa.XAException: The function RECOVER: failed. The status is: -3. Error: "*** SQLJDBC_XA DTC_ERROR Context: xa_recover, state=1, StatusCode:-3 (0xFFFFFFFD) ***"
 

Then after all the factory beans have been loaded, I get the following error:

WARNING: Could not obtain connection to query metadata
java.sql.SQLException: unable to get a connection from pool of a PoolingDataSource containing an XAPool of resource jdbc/bonitaDSXA with 1 connection(s) (1 still available) -failed-
 

I guess it is some kind of bitronix issue. But the error message makes no sense to me. You cannot get a connection, but there is a connection available. I even tried to change the minPoolSize to 5, which just leads to the error ...with 5 connection(s) (5 still available).

Can anyone point me to a solution for this problem.

Hi

there is a wll know problem related to the use of XA transaction on SQL Server 2008 R2 and Tomcat.

I can give to you two suggestions:

  1. Use JBoss Instead Tomcat
  2. Use JTDS driver instead the official one from Microsoft. here you can find my answer to same question posted sometimes ago: http://community.bonitasoft.com/groups/installation-6x/hosting-bonita-database-sql-server

let me know if you'll solve the problem or you need more informations

Ciao

Hi. Thank you for the update. I configured BonitaSoft for JDTA now, but still no succes. The relevant error I guess is in he bonita.log:

 

Error: "Connection refused: connect. Verify the connection properties. Make sure that an instance of SQL Server is running on the host and accepting TCP/IP connections at the port. Make sure that TCP connections to the port are not blocked by a firewall.".)

 

If I connect using the same credentials I am using in bitronix-resources.properties and bonita.xml with SQL Server Management Studio I can succesfully connect, so there's no problem there. Remember that login with the MS SQL JDBC driver went correctly and tables were created.

So you decided to go on with Tomcat. Ok. your problem is related on how you configure the two datasources. here I am sending to you an example about the two different configuration:

Bitronix data source

resource.ds1.className=net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbcx.JtdsDataSource
resource.ds1.driverProperties.user=bonita
resource.ds1.driverProperties.password=bpm
resource.ds1.driverProperties.serverName=127.0.0.1
resource.ds1.driverProperties.portNumber=1433
resource.ds1.driverProperties.databaseName=bonitaNon transaction datasource (bonita.xml file)

<!-- SQL Server with JTDS driver -->
<Resource name="bonitaSequenceManagerDS"
auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
maxActive="17"
minIdle="5"
maxWait="10000"
initialSize="3"
validationQuery="SELECT 1"
validationInterval="30000"
removeAbandoned="true"
logAbandoned="true"
username="bonita"
password="bpm"
driverClassName="net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver"
url="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://127.0.0.1:1433/bonita"/>

Driver JTDS doesn't allow the use of URL properties.

let me know if it help you.

Ciao.
