SAP IdM 8.0 Dispatcher Issue | Test indicates serious issue

[skotti]

Hi,

I am on Linux with a Sysbase DB and its a test system.

I am not able to connect to my database via dispatcher.

When I run the "test" parameter I get this.

This indicates that dispatcher   - has been previously stopped abruptly  - or other dispatcher with same name is already runningPlease verify this condition - it may have serious impact on whole IDM environment.

Anyone know how to solve this?

Do I have to change the value on the database? I have lost the link, but I have read that the last state of the connection is saved on the db (tablename got lost).

Isnt there any other way? I would not like to find myself in a situation like this when this could be my productive system.

Thanks a lot

Sven

And the document mentioned in the old tread above ( "How to Setting Up an Identity Management Dispatcher on a UNIX Host Flavor" ) is not available. The link is dead, it returns an error page.

Hello Sven,

I have informed one of the IDM moderators. Maybe he can do something about the document. 🙂

Hi All,

thanks everyboy, but the database was not configured correctly (log area to small; I have since then expanded the log area and since it is test installation, allowed to overwrite the logs).

I have got another, new error, but that will be another thread.

Hi,

if you thinking in terms of the network connectivity: yes, that is working. The database is waiting for connections on port 5000 and I can telnet from to other hosts (where I tried to set up the IDM runtime component) successfully to the core db host.

I think I am stuck at what is described in Note "1950463 - Stop dispatcher in Unix environment". But the resolution does not fit my enviroment.

It looks like that I would have to edit table "mc_dispatcher table for dispatcher" and change the value. But this can be no robust fix.

And I had it working before and I am not sure where and why the dispatcher broke.

I am probably going to throw my core db away and set up a new one.

Hello Steffi,

In such case, I would suggest to create the new dispatcher and check whether it is working.

Hello Sven,

I haven't worked on SAP IDM in Linux bit I also got the same issue several times on windows server.

To fix this issue, I would recommend to

• Check whether you are able to connect to SAP IDM database from the runtime server where you ran the dispatcher utility.

If the connection is fine then please restart your server and then run the "Test Dispatcher" again.
