openam13 snapshot ssoadm setup exception: ClassNotFoundException: org.forgerock.services.TransactionId

Question

I am getting the following exception while trying to run the ssoadm .setup script. This is with openam13 snapshot version i got on 01/04/2016. It worked before that. Can anyone point me to what might be the issue?

 Executing command "/Users/sso-config/target/ssoadmintools/setup --path /apps/openam/server --log /apps/openam/log --acceptLicense --debug /apps/openam/debug" in working directory target/ssoadmintools/

Answer 1

Can you try running the setup command from the directory where the script is located instead of using the absolute path to the script?

Try this:

./setup --path /apps/openam/server --log /apps/openam/log --acceptLicense --debug /apps/openam/debug

Instead of this:

/Users/sso-config/target/ssoadmintools/setup --path /apps/openam/server --log /apps/openam/log --acceptLicense --debug /apps/openam/debug

My guess is that java cannot find some libraries in the classpath when you use the absolute path.
