Steps to Reproduce



There is no specific use case identified to replicate the behavior.


Root Cause



1. The stack trace shows that PRPC is failing to initialize a batch requestor for the given system name configuration. The BATCH requestor type definition refers an accessgroup. The access group is pointing to an invalid application definition.

By running the query, select * from pr4_rule where pzinskey like '%RULE-APPLICATION PegaRULES:06.02%' to see if the application definition actually exists. If it does not exist, the application definition can be re-imported using the command line utility, prpcutils. This would use prpc as the systemname, so the engine start-up should go through fine. If not, one more option could be to bring up a node specifying the prconfig, identification/systemName as prpc and edit the offending accessgroup

2. PRPC does not initialize if the system name does not exist in the PR_DATA_ADMIN, the behaviour can be noticed if the user deletes browser requestor type or the access group (Developers) mistakenly. User can run the query from the DB to verify the same;

select distinct pysystemname from pr_data_admin where pxobjclass like 'Data-Admin-Requestor';
select distinct from pr_data_admin where pyaccessgroup like 'Developers';


Resolution



Browser Requester Type unauthenticated access group is wrong for “pega” system name. Correct this configuration.
