IIS connectivity issue with VMWare

Post by stuartjvnorton »

Hi all,

I'm having an issue with running DataStage jobs on on a VM.

When the VM network adapter (set to "Bridged") is disconnected, it works fine.
When it's connected, I get the following errors:

Code: Select all

Event: Job Base_Test aborted.

End of report.
With the network adapters turned off, I have a couple of VMs on the one machine that can talk to each other and run jobs ok.
Turn it back on, and it happens every time.

The problem is, now I need apps on other PCs to be able to connect to InfoSphere on the VM,so the network adapter has to be on.

I have the loopback adapter enabled, as per a known IIS/VMWare installalation issue, and searching for IIS-DSEE-TFIO-00211 (the Message Id for the "APT_Communicator::connectTo" errors) suggests that my network isn't set up correctly.
Seems strange though because client, engine and services tiers are all on the 1 VM.

Are there some other VMWare gotchas, or a specific way the virtual network has to be configured to allow outside communication with a VM, yet not confuse DataStage as to where it is?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Just an update.
There is a tech note as of late January that covers this issue:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.w ... wg21622965

I found I had to set the parameter for each project to make it work.
