Collab 4.5 Notification – RSS Error

Collaboration, Notification by matt on August 20th, 2008 1 Comment

Hm.  I was planning on doing a quick post on the new RSS feed in Collab 4.5 / Portal Notification Server 6.5, but apparently this is turning out to be a real pain.  We did our portal install as an in-place upgrade (which is bad; again, more details on 6.5 upgrades will come in the near future), and pretty much have a completely munged install with both bea\alui\ptnotification\ and bea\alui\cns (the new notification service in the portal) folders, multiple notification services, and things stepping all over each other (starting the CNS service starts the old notification service).

So I did a reinstall of these components (Collab 4.5 and the Portal 6.5 notification service) and have a couple of tips to share in the upcoming posts.

First, remember to import those PTEs!  I got the following error in Collab (“HTTP Status 400: Invalid path /tasklist/ was requested”) when I first started everything up, and clicked the RSS button in a Collaboration project:

Turns out this was because PTSpy was reporting something about Notification Server not being able to “load the Notification Web Service ID”.  Once I imported the ALI Notification Service PTE file (bea\alui\cns\1.0\serverpackages\notification.pte) and restarted the service, I got this error cleared up.

But this was just the start of my problems.  Stay tuned for more on getting RSS working in Collab.

    Were you able to resolve this issue? I am encountering the same error message right now in Collab.
