Application logging throws SaxParseException Premature end of file

This issue occurs in the following circumstances:

  1. The vFunction Sudo or Sudoless Controller Installation TGZ is installed in a Linux environment
  2. An Application Server is used to run the JVM
  3. The user running the Application Server is a different user than has completed the installation
  4. After adding the vFunction Agent Startup Parameters into the JVM, the Application is rebooted and the following error occurs
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 1; columnNumber: 1; Premature end of file.

This issue can be resolved by taking the following steps:

  1. SSH to the Application Server running the JVM
  2. Change the permissions of the temp directory that the VF Agent tries to write to or change ownership of this directory. For example:
chmod -R 777 /etc/sysconfig/vfunction/agent/instances/default/temp/
chown -R tomcat:tomcat /etc/sysconfig/vfunction
chown -R tomcat:tomcat /opt/vfunction
  1. Restart the JVM
