Using "lh console" when your SUN Identity Manager Application is down

I have just encountered a different kind of a problem. I have set the trace parameters in my Sun Identity manager. I have configured it to trace few adapters and finally gave a large number for the file size. Restarted the server and it failed saying ...

java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "9999999999

So to correct this error I have got two options

1. Changing the System Configuration file using the lh console command

go to wshome\bin
Execute the following commands:
./lh console and press enter
You'll get to the configurator> prompt
Atthe promt, type
export -v c:\syscon.xml CONFIGURATION
now open the file c:\syscon.xml and scroll down till you find the required attribute to change.

Change the value of 9999999 in the line to 512 and save the file.

Now at the configurator> prompt, type the following command and press enter:
import c:\syscon.xml

Reboot the appserver and launch the idm web application.

To Generalize this way we can change any of these configurations.

2. Editing the MySql repo

1) SELECT * FROM object o where type='Configuration' and name = 'SYSTEM CONFIGURATION';
2) Go to the xml column at the very end of the table and look for the string pattern "Attribute name='maxFileSizeKB'". Get the exact number of 99999s that you plugged in.
3) Run the following update to do a "in-place" update. (I have updated the file size to be 1KB - 1024. Replace with the number of your chocie)
update object set xml=replace(xml, "", "") where type='Configuration' and name = 'SYSTEM CONFIGURATION';

Hope this information would be worth for the IDM Fraternity
