Root Cause

In case of ML 9 with Websphere there is a bug in 3rd party library apns-0.2.3 that causes the following error: java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: sunx509 KeyManagerFactory not available. This library needs to be replaced with newer version, e.g. apns-1.0.0.Beta6.

Resolution

Apply HFix-30239

After the installation follow the below steps:
 
1. Stop the server and run the following query in the problematic environment:
 
select pzcodeset from ${dbschema}.pr_engineclasses where pzjar like '%apns-0.2.3.jar%';
update ${dbschema}.pr_engineclasses set pzcodeset='pega-enginecodenouse' where pzjar like '%apns-0.2.3.jar%';
commit;
 
Replace ${dbschema} with the actual PegaRules schema name in respective environment.
 
2. Server needs to be restarted after running the above query and installing the new jar file which is apns-1.0.0.Beta6.jar.
