SBL-ADM-02527: Parse Error: Expecting <param>=<value> instead of "(null)".

This error message could be reported when an instance of the component is started with parameter values that are either incomplete, incorrect and/or lack thereof.

Cause

The cause for this error message is because of the fact that "srvrmgr" is unable to parse the parameter values into something legible/acceptable. The above error is then reported either in the server manager session and/or in the component specific log file.

Diagnostic Steps

Recheck the values for the various parameters for this component that users have configured/provided. Ensure they are correct and acceptable (in terms of format).

Solution

In most cases, this could be the presence of a special character or reserved word that "srvrmgr" takes objection to. For example:

Special Characters

srvrmgr /g <gtwy_host> /e <entsrvr> /s <siebsrvr> /u <usr> /p <pwd> /c "run task for component eim server SS_CGD8 with config=abc.ifb, ExtendedParams="batchnum=4000""
(is incorrect since the second instance of the double quote is treated as the close of parameter input.)

srvrmgr /g <gtwy_host> /e <entsrvr> /s <siebsrvr> /u <usr> /p <pwd> /c "run task for component eim server <siebsrvr> with config=abc.ifb, ExtendedParams=\"batchnum=4000\""
(is correct since backslash helps srvrmgr interpret/parse the parameter value correctly, treating it as a double quote.)
