I’ve just inherited a few webMethods 6.1 systems, with which I’m pretty much completely unfamiliar. After spending a bunch of time in documentation and messing around with developer and other things, I’m coming to grips with what’s going on, but I have a few persistent problems, the most pressing of which is I can’t edit trading partner profiles. I start the TNConsole application, switch from viewing something called “Enterprise” to “Trading Partners” with a button on the toolbar, and see a list of several hundred trading partners. If I right-click on one to edit any particular trading partner, the console spits the following exception to STDOUT. Any suggestions?

I’ve removed the rest for brevity… it’s all from calls either to the java.swing or java.awt packages. Thanks for any help you can give.

I should add I’m running the console on a linux system now, but get the same behavior on Windows. It has happened on every trading partner I’ve tried to edit, though I admit not having tried all 1200+ of them

Do your TNConsole login user acccount have TNAdministrators,TNPartners rights?? I mean is it comes under the above mentioned User Groups?? Please check it with your wM IS Admin and make sure you have all necessary permissions just in case.

HTH,

I didn’t have TNPartner’s rights. I modified that, and have the same problem. In case it’s helpful, the full log from the TNConsole is below. The first exception, on line 3, happens while the console is starting up, the second happens when I switch from the Enterprise view to the Trading Partners view, and the third is what I get when trying to edit a profile.

It turns out that this, and another Trading Networks problem I was having, stemmed from me using incompatible versions. The console had service pack 1 installed, but the server didn’t.
