IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation (CP4BA) Case Event Emitter fails to emit some events

Troubleshooting


Problem

While the CP4BA Case Event Emitter is running, it fails to properly emit / capture events that are enabled for auditing.

Symptom

When comparing the Audit History event IDs in FileNet Content Engine Administrative Console for Content Engine (ACCE) to the event IDs that are logged in SystemOut.log, some event IDs are missing from the SystemOut.log.
 
For example, you see the Event ID {50470788-0100-C6B6-BB3F-C71CC7D9BD43} in ACCE:
image-20230606092345-1
Looking at the SystemOut.log, Case Event Emitter did not emit this event

Cause

The Case Event Emitter shared library is missing from one or more nodes.

Diagnosing The Problem

Monitor the SystemOut.log of each node when Case Event Emitter is starting up for the following sequence of messages:
[5/29/23 16:09:28:169 CEST] 000000e7 ApplicationMg A   WSVR0200I: Starting application: CaseEventEmitter_war
[5/29/23 16:09:28:169 CEST] 000000e7 ApplicationMg A   WSVR0203I: Application: CaseEventEmitter_war  Application build level: 7.0.5
[5/29/23 16:09:28:798 CEST] 000000e7 RuntimeFactor W   Shared library at /opt/app/WAS/IBM/CaseManagement/analytics/lib does not exist.

Resolving The Problem

1) Identify all of the nodes that are missing this shared library
2) Copy the Shared Library to all of the nodes identified in step 1
