Symptoms

On the EAM Client side handler while processing TMEVT_INGRESS, ObAccessException is sent from the Oracle Access Manager (OAM).

Impact

EAM process cores and restarts. This exception is thrown in very rare instances, and in those cases, the unhandled exception causes the EAM plugin to core. The EAM process is restarted, and then handles user requests.

Conditions

The exact conditions required to reproduce the error are unknown. However, in rare instances, the OAM SDK throws the ObAccessException while checking whether the requested resource is protected by accessgate.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

Additional exception processing (for ObAccessException from the Oracle Access Manager (OAM)) was added to the EAM module. The module now handles this exception by displaying an error.
