Hi

we are in process of install Datastage 9.1 and doing configuration on new host with AIX 7.1 . we have installed and created some projects also. In sudden our datastage services are down and projects deleted from the /opt/IBM/Projects folder. when we try to restart the services we got following error"
The system cannot create a SOAP connector to connect to host aaa.bbb at port 8881 " and also I am seeing following error from "DSAuditTrace" file.
//-------------
015-07-20 17:10:50 (,0): The following accounts are on the system: number=6, accounts=uv?DS?ds?UV?dstage1?DataClick
2015-07-20 17:10:50 (,0): Project creation finished OK: name=DataClick, host=aaa.bbb

2015-07-21 18:05:26 (dsadm,admin): Project deletion from xmeta repository finished: name=SAMPLE_PROJECT, host=aaa.bbb, result=0
2015-07-21 18:05:26 (dsadm,admin):"

//------------------------------------------------

Is this any issue with file system or something happened with corruption on XMETA ?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks
Man

It appears that someone has been deleting projects.

Thanks Ray,

I hope I am seeing project list from XMETA and also I am seeing from Datastage Admin ,but when I select the projects I am getting error this project not present in UV.

HOSTNAME_XMETA INSTANCETAG_XMETA NAME_XMETA
----------------- ------------------- --------------------------
aaa.bbbb Test_ds_ptst
aaa.bbbb SAMPLE_PROJECT
aaa.bbbb DW_uat

I hope I have to clean from XMETA also. Is this correct ?

any idea about port issue 8881?

Thanks
Man

Could the mount for the projects have been dis-mounted? That would cause the mount path to revert back to a root entry and thus appear empty.

Have you tried searching? Found several references to that message including this one. Could be the same person that is deleting projects.

Thanks Lot.

But we never installed or uninstalled any software . I can't able to ping and listen 8881 port on same Datastage server itself.

working in another server :

$ telnet a006 8881
Trying...
Connected to a006
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed.

Issue server :

$ telnet a008 8881
Trying...
telnet: connect: A remote host refused an attempted connect operation.

Thanks

Time to involve support.

Hi

I have fixed this issue. there is some issue with XMETA id and password setup.

I followed following steps :

1) I have tested Xmeta user log into Xmeta db outside of Information Server then run the AppServerAdmin.sh script

from /opt/IBM/InformationServer/ASBServer/bin/ path.

./AppServerAdmin.sh -db -user xmeta -password xxxxxxx

After resolving XMETA password issue, run below step to verify if it returns "Info Connection to the database OK " status.
./AppServerAdmin.sh -w -time 1

and works fine.

2) Missing projects I restored using "./SyncProject.sh" project.

1). Log to DataStage server as root.
2). Go to opt/IBM/InformationServer/ASBNode/bin/
./SyncProject.sh -ISHost <Host name of the services tier:Port> -ISUser <User ID> -ISPassword <Password> -project <Project name> -report /tmp/myprojrep.txt

Thanks
