Known problems, restrictions, and solutions

Java and Google Chrome

Some features of IBM Content Navigator Container use Java applets. If you access IBM Content Navigator from Google Chrome, Version 42 or later, Chrome displays a message that the plug-in is blocked if you use an applet-based feature.
Starting with Google Chrome, Version 42, the Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface (NPAPI) is disabled by default. Web applications that use Java applets do not function properly unless NPAPI is re-enabled. For more information on configuring NPAPI-based Java plug-ins under Google Chrome, Version 42, see:

Enabling NPAPI in Chrome Version 42 and later at https://java.com/en/download/faq/chrome.xml
Java applets are blocked in IBM Enterprise Content Management products when launched in Chrome with NPAPI disabled at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21883710

Oracle Java Runtime Environment security warnings

You might see security warnings and update requests when using certain versions of Oracle Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
For information about issues with Oracle JRE, see http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21640073

Additional Known problems and restrictions are documented in the 3.0.7.0 topic https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSGLW6_5.5.0/com.ibm.p8.containers.doc/containers_knownissues.htm.

Download location

Prerequisites for Version 3.0.7.0 Container Interim Fix 1

3.0.7.0-ICN-Container

If you are installing this interim fix as an update to IBM Content Navigagor v3.0.7 GA (base version), the operator must be running and you must have the ability to edit the custom resources (CR) YAML file originally utilized to provide the configuration for the deployment being updated.

Deploying under Kubernetes managed environment

If you are using this interim fix as part of a new installation of the Content Platform Engine container, see Installing an operator on Kubernetes. If you are installing this interim fix as an update to IBM Content Navigagor Container v3.0.7 GA (base version), follow the steps below:

Change your working directory to the location where this interim fix package was downloaded.
Download the load-images.sh script from GitHub.
Log in to your Kubernetes cluster.
Check that you can run a docker command: $ docker ps
Login to the Docker registry with a token:
$ docker login $(oc registry info) -u <ADMINISTRATOR> -p $(oc whoami -t)
$ podman login $(oc registry info) -u <ADMINISTRATOR> -p $(oc whoami -t) --tls-verify=false
Note: You can connect to a node in the cluster to resolve the docker-registry.default.svcparameter.
Run a kubectl command to make sure that you have access to Kubernetes: $ kubectl cluster-info
Run the loadimages.sh script to load the images into your Docker registry. Specify the two mandatory parameters in the command line. -p PPA archive files location or archive filename
-r Target Docker registry and name space
-l Optional: Target a local registry

The following example shows the input values in the command line:
# scripts/loadimages.sh -p 3.0.7.0-ICN-Container-IF001.tgz -r docker-registry.default.svc:5000/my-project
Note: The project must have pull request privileges to the registry where the images are loaded. The project must also have pull request privileges to push the images into another namespace/project.
Check that the image ga-307-icn-if001 is pushed correctly to the registry and wait for a few minutes. You can access the status of your containers with the following commands:
$ kubectl get pods
$ kubectl logs <operatorPodName> -f -c operator
Verify the secret named in the CR file as the imagePullSecrets is valid.
Note: The secret may have expired and a recreation will be required. In the CR file previously used to deploy the Content Platform Engine container, modify the configuration parameter ecm_configuration.cpe.image.tag to reflect the value for the image loaded.
Example:
image:repository: cp.icr.io/cp/cp4a/fncm/icn
tag: ga-307-icn-if001
pull_policy: Always
Apply it by running this command:
$ kubectl apply -f <CR.yaml>
Open the IBM Content Navigator URL on a browser to verify that it is accessible. For example: https://hostname:port/navigator
