RSA Version/Condition: 6.x, 7.0.x
Issue
SYMPTOMS:
Data Collection
When a SQL Server data collection fails, a test of the same collector fails with the following error in the user interface:
Collector test failed:
com.aveksa.server.runtime.ServerException: Test request failed with response: com.aveksa.server.runtime.ServerException: com.aveksa.sdk.collector.CollectionException: com.aveksa.common.DataReadException: ERROR: Could not get accounts data: . Caused by com.aveksa.common.DataReadException: ERROR: Could not get accounts data: . Caused by java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:sqlserver://node,domain.com:1433;databaseName=somedatabase
AFX Connector
When a SQL Server AFX connector fails, the mule_ee.log file ($AFX_HOME/esb/logs/mule_ee.log) has the following error:
Exception followed by:
Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: net/sourceforge/jtds/jdbc/Driver :
Unsupported major.minor version 51.0
Cause
For example, the jTDS 1.3.1 driver is compatible with Java 6 but not Java 7.
Resolution
- To install the jTDS driver for use with data collections, see RSA Knowledge Base Article 000034189 -- How to install the jTDS JDBC driver on WildFly for use with Data Collections in RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle.
- To install the jTDS driver for use with AFX, see RSA Knowledge Base Article 000029641 -- How to install the jTDS JDBC driver for use with AFX in RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle.
Place the new driver in the lib folder and remove the existing driver. Run these commands as the oracle user.
cp <jTDS 1.2.x driver> $AVEKSA_HOME/jboss-4.2.2.GA/server/default/lib/<jTDS 1.2.x driver> rm <existing SQL Server driver> afx stop acm restart afx start
Notes
This is a legacy Knowledge Base Article and only applies to the listed versions which are no longer actively supported.
RSA does not recommend the continued use of the public domain JTDS driver on current versions of the product. RSA recommends customers use the JDBC driver specific for their database.
