When Tableau Server is installed on some Linux installations where the /tmp directory is mounted with options such as NO_EXEC, TSM commands fail producing an error which may contain the following items:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
and
Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: could not load FFI provider jnr.ffi.provider.jffi.Provider
and
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can't overwrite cause with java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /tmp/jffi9423896387180745724.so: /tmp/jffi9423896387180745724.so: failed to map segment from shared object: Operation not permitted
and
Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /tmp/jffi9423896387180745724.so: /tmp/jffi9423896387180745724.so: failed to map segment from shared object: Operation not permitted
Upgrade to Tableau Server 2019.2.5, 2019.3.1 or later. If upgrade is not possible consider option 2 or 3.
Use the command mount -l (lower case L) to list the mounts for a system and see if /tmp has been mounted with options, in particular NO_EXEC.
A workaround for this behavior is to run the command:
tsm login -u YourUsername
By signing in with tsm login and using the -u flag, the error can be bypassed as long as the session is active. Should the error return, for example after applying pending changes, simply run the login command again.
