From release 8.1.3 of GRS, WebSphere 8.5 requires some once-only additional configuration to enable GRAT to deploy successfully to GRE.

Procedure

1. Extract httpclient-4.1.1.jar and httpcore-4.1.jar from the WEB-INF/lib directory of genesys-rules-engine.war and store them in:

   ${WAS_INSTALL_ROOT}\optionalLibraries

2. Configure these two JAR files as Isolated Shared Libraries.
   1. From the WS Admin console select Environment->SharedLibraries->New
   2. Set the name to sharedStuff
   3. Set the classpath to:

      ${WAS_INSTALL_ROOT}/optionalLibraries/httpclient-4.1.1.jar

      and

      ${WAS_INSTALL_ROOT}/optionalLibraries/httpcore-4.1.jar

   4. Check the Use an isolated class loader for this shared library check box. Click Apply and Save.
3. Navigate to Enterprise Applications->genesys-rules-engine->Shared library references and add the sharedStuff shared library reference to the web module.
