Steps to Resolve the Issue
This issue can be resolved by taking the following steps:
- SSH to the Application Server running the JVM
- Modify the vFunction Instance’s installation.yaml so the changes will persist during an upgrade. For example,
vi BASE_DIRECTORY/vfunction/etc/sysconfig/vfunction/installation/instances/default-java/installation.yaml:
After the Change
agent:
...
override_properties:
- com.vfunction.runtime.config.tracking.classloaderresources.enabled=false
- com.vfunction.runtime.config.aop.xml.spring.singleton.tracking.enabled=false
- com.vfunction.runtime.config.aop.xml.spring.prototype.tracking.enabled=false
- com.vfunction.runtime.config.aop.xml.spring.session.tracking.enabled=false
- com.vfunction.runtime.config.aop.xml.spring.request.tracking.enabled=false
- com.vfunction.runtime.config.aop.xml.spring.globalsession.tracking.enabled=false
- com.vfunction.runtime.config.aop.xml.spring.application.tracking.enabled=false
- com.vfunction.runtime.config.aop.xml.spring.websocket.tracking.enabled=false
- com.vfunction.runtime.config.aop.xml.spring.unknown.tracking.enabled=false
Before the Change
agent:
...
override_properties:
# - key=value
- Run the vFunction upgrade script. For example:
bash BASE_DIRECTORY/vfunction/opt/vfunction/controller-installation/upgrade.sh -i default-java - Restart the JVM
- Confirm the Application starts as expected
