Hi,

We are sudenly getting this Error when trying to make a Deployment in the NWDE:

Gerardo,

Please check message server settings on

visual admin tool:server->kernel->cluster manager

and check ms.host and ms.port values from the table. If you do your J2ee settings according to these values it will probably work fine.

The reason why you are getting SDM error is ,at the previous versions there was settings for SDM in preferences and you had to set the port number for SDM ( which was 50018 + 100 * <instance number> ). There is no specific settings for SDM in preferences anymore.

Thanks

Hi,

thanx for the answers, I checked thos parameters and they are Ok, the hostname and the port 3901, it is like it is supposed to be.

It is really weird now cause it sudenly start working again and then stops working in another day, so it is not always now and we have not modified a config in the server unless the development been deployed has something to do :Os

Hi Gerardo,

I encountered exactly the same error, but had a different solution as I was expecting from the error-message.

In my case I was forced by the Visual Administrator to change the administration password, since the time was up on it. But as the password for the Visual Administrator is saved within the database, the password for the SDM is stored within the secure store (file-system) and changing the password just in VA will not automatically change it also in the secure store. But since both passwords for the internal usage need to be equalized, I encountered problems afterwards when trying to deploy something and I got the same error message. However the sense of restriction is meant here, the solution on it was rather simple as follows (Just note that you need to enter a dummy-password first, before setting the correct one similar to your visual administrator):

1. create a telnet session to your J2EE using a command line shell

2. enter "jump 0" to get on the correct node within your J2EE

3. enter "add user" to gain access to user-specific commands

4. enter "password <Administrator> <temporarily new password>"

5. exit

6. create another telnet session to your J2EE using a command line shell

7. after succeeded the login, you will now be forced to enter a new password - so enter "password <Administrator> <origin password of the Visual Administrator>"

8. exit

9. now start the config-tool of the engine

10. apply to the DB-default-question with "yes"

11. select the Secure Store on the left

12. select the entry "admin/password/..." that you can see it in the bottom lines.

13. click "Remove" to delete it from the list

14. set the password similar to the Visual Administrator password within the "Value" line (take care as you can not see the digits).

15. click "Add" to add it back to the list

16. click the disc symbol in the top of the UI to save the new password (if you don't get a dialog afterwards that the data has been stored, something may hasn't worked fine when removing/adding the password-entry, in this case repeat the action on it).

17. After exiting the config-tool, you need to restart the entire J2EE.

18. Your hopefully finished by success ;o))

Best regards

Hello,

I am getting the exact same error when I am trying to deploy an application to a cloned system. The system is a copy of a system on which I had installed the app server originally. Is there any way to completely refresh the secure store so that it can take on the properties (host name) of the new cloned machine over the original one? I made a few changes to get the server running on the cloned box, but am now stuck on getting any applications to deploy.

All help is appreciated.

What´s the errror you are having in the logs?

[Former Member]

>>There is no clutser control instance running on host vmxtbcsapep01 which is described in SecureStorage .

This explains it can't locate the cluster instance.. Just some guesses..Check if

1. IP address is changed or

2. Someone has changed some details of secure store..

I´ll check if somebody did something in the Secure Store,

What I have seen is some SLD issues, does this make sense? or maybe has nothing to do with the error?

Thanx!

Hi

Please open J2EE Visual Administrator and check the following service running or not.

Server..->Services->Secure Storage

If it shows in red cross color please right click and start it.
