Is this true? Top 10% most viewed profile in 2012

Got an email from Linkedin saying:

Rune, congratulations! You have one of the top 10% most viewed LinkedIn profiles for 2012.

They have 200 million profiles so I my first reaction is “yeah, rrriiighht!” And then they want me to share the below text on Twitter, FB and such:

Hurray! I have one of the top 10% most viewed @LinkedIn profiles for 2012. http://www.linkedin.com/pub/profile/0/70b/01b

Confusing, first time I tried the url I got this profile http://uk.linkedin.com/pub/odi-nanka-bruce/0/70b/1, but now it is pointing to my own profile. So maybe it is true, and then either

  • WebSphere is extremly hot all around the world, and therefore people view my profile
  • A lot of people have a profile, but no connections and such, and I am part of the 10% having updated the profile

FileNet – Error during installation of Workplace XT FP1 (v 1.1.5.1)

After having successfully installed Workplace XT v 1.1.5.0 applying FP1 of Workplace XT, version 1.1.5.1 fails. The error message showing in the Install Shield is plain and simple, that is meaningless: null. In the log file I found “JVM_HOME = null”.

Reported this as a PMR which helped me solve the problem. Simply just uninstalled v 1.1.5, then installed 1.1.5.1 since it is a cumulative fix. Info from IBM:

The Workplace XT 1.1.5.1-WPXT-FP001 fix pack installs a new, complete Workplace XT 1.1.5.1 system, or upgrades an existing Workplace XT system. Workplace XT fix packs are cumulative; each fix pack contains the base release and content from all previously released fix packs.

So seen, it would be possible just to scrap the existing installation including the registry path and install Workplace XT 1.1.5.1 directly.

FileNet – Workplace fails during startup

Had an issue today after having installed the application engine and then the latest fixpack. WebSphere reported that the application started just fine, but when accessing http://my_server/Workplace it failed with a NullPointerException. Part of the stacktrace

[07.02.13 18:10:45:986 CET] 0000002e SystemOut     O Loading logging config: null

This was in test, in the dev environment where it is working SystemOut.log reported

[2/7/13 18:39:24:274 CET] 00000043 SystemOut     O Loading logging config: D:\\AEShare\\FileNet\\Config\\AE\log4j.properties

After a lot of cursing it turned out that the problem was caused by Windows and access to the share where the log4j-file was located. As a wild guess I granted access to “Everyone” and voila…it worked…Windows shares…simply hate it. WebSphere running as local system account, did not cause any problems in the dev environment, but test…don’t know why yet.

Three bands in concert last night

Went to Rockefeller together with Simen, Kjetil, Inge and Are. It was the release concert of Black Debbath’s and Audrey Horns last album. First out was Truckfighters. Never heard of them before, but it turns out that they started back in 2001. Must say I really enjoyd them, clearly influenced by bands I love such as Kyuss. I ran to the merch shop and bought a t-shirt and their first cd, and also got some stickers and such.

Then it was Audrey Horne. Nothing bad with their performance, but I just don’t like that genre. To much hairy-eighties, just not everyone with hair.

And finally Black Debbath, “Nå får det faen meg være rock! Akademisk stoner-rock!”, very, very good.

After the concert, Simen being a strongman.

Spinning to El Cuero

Yesterday I was spinning to El Cuero and their album A Glimmer of Hope. Ok, it is good music, no doubt, but…for listening to while spinning, not my cup of tea. Instead I would recommend the album if you where to drive for many, many hours in a car and then when you get to Hardangervidda, Finnmarksvidda or somewhere like that and you will be driving straight ahead for a long time…put on El Cuero. But driving fast on a twisty road, find something else.

Instead I would really recommend The White Buffalo. I’ve been listening to his album Once Upon a Time in the West many, many times the last week. Good stuff!

Solving FNRCE0010E: E_BAD_VALUE

While preparing for the upgrade of FileNet from 4.0 to 5.1 we decided to upgrade WebSphere in the existing development environment from 7.0 to 8.0. We therefore uninstalled WAS, and left all other FileNet installation as is. While reapplying all FileNet configuration to the new WAS installation we got a problem with the Content Engine. The CE System Health page reports problems and both the p8_server_error.log and p8_server_trace.log was constantly filling up with enormous amounts of data. The errors being repeated was (showing only parts of it)


FNRCE0010E - ERROR method name: masterDecryptDecode principal name: xxxUSERNAMExxxx Global Transaction: false User Transaction.....
FNRCE0010E: E_BAD_VALUE: The value given for a property or list element lies outside the permitted range or value set...

It turned out to be caused by a change of admin uid. Initally the environment was installed using uid X, but at a given time it was decided to change it to uid Y. Since the CE ear-file was configured using X and we tried to use uid Y this was causing the error. ECM Place to the rescue, see P8 CE 4.5.1 on W2K3 x64 broke?.

List out and later reapply new user using the following commands


java -jar <CE>\lib\bootstraps.jar -e <old ear file> -l
java -jar <CE>\lib\bootstraps.jar -e <old ear file> -j <new ear file>

Since I do not buy cd’s anymore

My old blog, which really just is a category instead of a blog, the cdonly is close to dead since I do not buy cd’s anymore. But I still listen to music, so I will instead blog about albums I listen to – and my own criteria will be that I must have listened to all songs on the album. Same as for the “Spinning to music”, but since I listen to music in the car and at work as well…

  • West of Memphis: Voices for justice. Read more about it at Indiewire.com. Many songs I enjoyed, such as the covers of “Little Lion Man” originally by Mumford & Sons and also my favorite hangover song “Mother” by legendary Pink Floyd. Now also listening to The White Buffalo since he also has a song on the album.
  • On my way to my in-laws last Sunday, I listened to Orango and their latest album Colonial Militia vol 2. Enjoy the genre and therefore this is my kinda a music as well, but I did not get a kick of it so it does not get high rotation on my playlist.
