I looked all the posts that have a simmilar error but they all suggest to add this -Dbusinessobjects.connectivity.directory attribute.
I am using jdeveloper I have added it an verified in the run log that java command has this directive. My error is as follows:
The code is:
Project classpath includes SL_SDK.jar and
C:\PROJECTS\SL_PROJECT\bin\dataAccess\connectionServer\java\* (all the cs_*.jar files)
Also, the java argument is set like this
-Dbusinessobjects.connectivity.directory="C:\PROJECTS\SL_PROJECT\bin\dataAccess\connectionServer"
LocalResourceService service = context.getService(LocalResourceService.class);
// universePath = “C:\STUFF\TMP\retrieval-2015-10-15-08-04-55\DART- Data Analytics & Reporting Tool.blx”
RelationalBusinessLayer businessLayer = (RelationalBusinessLayer) service.load(universePath);
*Note* the computer this is running on remotely connects to BOBJ, and uses
- cmsService.retrieveUniverse()
to retrieve the universe files .blx and .dfx etc
There is not actually a bobj installation on the machine so the folder C:\PROJECTS\SL_PROJECT\bin\dataAccess\connectionServer is just a copy of the folder from the installation directory.
Then I get error:
