Resolved Openedge Explorer not working after upgrade to 11.2

[Cringer]

I've just upgraded my machine to 11.2. After the upgrade I was able to connect to the Openedge Explorer (localhost:9090) without any issues. I then copied my old conmgr.properties and ubroker.properties (from version 11.1) across so that my settings were migrated, and now I can't connect to it at all. I get

Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:9090.

When I try and start my local database with the command "call dbman -start -all" I get this in the log file

Any ideas anyone?

I guess the AdminServer has a problem with the contents you copied over from the old installation. To pin down the issue you need to have a look into its log file ( admserv.log ) - which per default resides in the directory that you specified as working directory during installation. That database log file won't show you anything as to why the AdminServer has a problem.

Cheers RHD. Is there a way of resetting things back to default? I've just upgraded another machine with the same properties files and it's working fine so I suspect something's gone awry. Might just have to reinstall but that's a pain.

 

[RealHeavyDude]

The properties directory beneath your installation directory should hole a "ubroker.properties-sav" file that you can use.

A possible root cause that would explain that behavior are the uuid's. Each service that you define in the ubroker.properties file must have it's unique uuid assigned ( you can use the genuuid utility in the proenv environment to generate new ones ). If you have two services sharing the same uuid you are in trouble. I am not 100% positive, but I think the last time I distributed a changed ubroker.properties file from the test enviroment into different production environments I had to change the uuid's so that each was unique, not only on the machine, but also on the network.

I don't use OE11.2 yet though ...

@Rob

Oddly enough it all seems fine this morning having touched nothing.

 

[RealHeavyDude]

That would then be the long overdue self-healing capabilities of OpenEdge or maby some worn out bytes
