Applies to: Ephesoft Transact 2020.1.03 and above

Issue

After upgrading from 2020.1.02 to 2020.1.03, the following error may be logged each time you pick up a batch, or when a batch finishes processing:

/dcma/ws/activity/pickup/notification access cannot be granted. com.ephesoft.dcma.authorization.exception.AuthorizationException: None of the rules granted access for the incoming request

Root Cause

This issue occurs due to a missing entry in the web.xml file.

Solution

To resolve this issue, manually add the missing entry in the web.xml file.

1. Open the web.xml file, located at [Ephesoft_Directory]\Application\WEB-INF.
2. Locate the following lines:

<context-param>
<param-name>InternalWebServices</param-name>
<param-value>batchInstanceIdentifier/,propertiesChangedEvent/,batchIdentifier/,verifyEphesoftLicense/,verifyAdvanceReportingSwitch/,notifyServerForService/,logs/,path/,paths/,remoteBatchInstanceIdentifier/,propertiesChangedEvent/,previousRemoteBatchInstanceIdentifier/,targetBatchInstanceIdentifier/,checkUserExistence/,signUp/,changePassword/,modifyPassword/</param-value>
</context-param>

3. Add “,activity/” before the closing </param-value> tag.

<param-value>batchInstanceIdentifier/,propertiesChangedEvent/,batchIdentifier/,verifyEphesoftLicense/,verifyAdvanceReportingSwitch/,notifyServerForService/,logs/,path/,paths/,remoteBatchInstanceIdentifier/,propertiesChangedEvent/,previousRemoteBatchInstanceIdentifier/,targetBatchInstanceIdentifier/,checkUserExistence/,signUp/,changePassword/,modifyPassword/,activity/</param-value>

4. Save and close the file.
5. Restart Ephesoft Transact.
