Update site: http://support.avaya.com/OrchestrationDesigner/SS/Updates/

This URL does not appear to be working anymore. Please advise.

Greg.

Are you getting an error? What happens when you try and update? You might need to add the certificate used by the site to OD's keystore.

The URL above is http and therefore not SSL and therefore does not require certificates.

https does not work either.

The error in Eclipse is simply: Site is not available.

If you browse to the URL manually you get a page stating "file not found"

Greg.

Yes, while the URL is not https, in at least one Eclipse instance, I have needed to add a certificate from the site to make it work. That's my experience, but your mileage may vary.

Either way, I can't reproduce the error you're reporting using multiple computers, none of which needed a certificate, and all of which are on my home network (non-Avaya, non-VPN). That URL won't work in a web browser, resulting in a file not found page.

You can try adding "/site.xml" to the end of the URL and seeing if that works:

http://support.avaya.com/OrchestrationDesigner/SS/Updates/site.xml

Even my certificate needing Eclipse instance accepted it without issue. That URL should also work in your web browser. If that also fails, then I would suggest investigating other areas (network, firewall, etc).

Ok you are right about the certificate error:

I get this:

Unable to read repository at http://support.avaya.com/OrchestrationDesigner/SS/Updates/content.xml.
sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

How do I resolve this?
Thought that all I needed to do was install the OD .jar file to my eclipse and it would automatically setup things like this...

Greg.

The PKIX message, most of the time, points to an issue with a certificate.

Maybe the page you are requesting is not https, but something that that page requires once fetched IS https. Add the certificate to the eclipse keystore.

I resolved the cert error by saving it off the page in a web browser. Depending on what browser you have, the method may vary. In Chrome, HTTPS pages have a lock symbol to the left of the URL. Clicking on that -> Connection tab -> Certificate information, gives a window whose second tab, Details, has a Copy to File button. The quick wizard, default settings, will then give you the cert for the page.

In Eclipse, Window -> Preferences -> Avaya Aura -> Orchestration Designer -> Certificates, add the cert you generated, restart Eclipse, and try the update site.

I'll try and find out more on why this is happening for you. While I am able to reproduce the issue, it's on an OD installation that I use for development and testing, so I wouldn't trust it to be the same as a regular installation. The other DD/OD installations I have are proper GA installs, and they seem to work without all this certificate business. What version of OD are you using? Perhaps that will give a clue.

*** SOLVED ***

Adding the certificate worked.

I'm using Eclipse (JEE distribution) v3.7.1
OD v7.0.0.1801

To get the certificate though, you have to magically know that you need to use the following URL: http://support.avaya.com/OrchestrationDesigner/SS/Updates/site.xml

So in other words adding site.xml to the back of the update URL.

I then retrieved the certificate using chrome as described above and then installed it in Eclipse. This solved the issue.
