Distributed NetBeans

Hi

When booting the computer the IDEserver starts up, but restarting by IDE$SHUTDOWN - IDE$STARTUP doesn't work. The logfile IDE$ROOT:[IDE$SERVER.LOGS]IDE$SERVER.LOG shows the following:

$ Set NoOn
$ VERIFY = F$VERIFY(F$TRNLNM("SYLOGIN_VERIFY"))

Any tips from someone?

Something useful in ide$logs:rmiregistryserver.log perhaps?

Have you checked, that the IDE$RMIREG process has really been stopped by the shutdown procedure?

IDE$ROOT:[IDE$SERVER.LOGS]RMIREGISTRYSERVER.LOGcontains:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java.lang.Error: Properties init: Could not determine current working directory.

Nothing new.

IDE$RMIREG is not running.

I ended up creating a small DCL procedure to launch IDE Server in a context similar to what it clearly expects (SYSTEM username, and during the system startup); the existing startup DCL is not particularly robust in that regard and makes various assumptions.

I'd also look at loading and using Java 5 here, as that cured some weirdnesses I saw with some IDE server installations.

I created a small script which restarts the IDEserver from a batch job. Success! Thanks for the tip.

Solved.

This is from my systartup.com procedure:

$ define/system ide$host_ipname "xxx.xxx.com"
$! workaround ide$server bug
$ set default sys$common:[sys$startup]
$ @sys$startup:ide$startup
$ set default sys$sysroot:[sys$manager]

This has been known for some time now. Besides that, there are a lot of funny things too when you try to use it over a vpn connection. It can be pretty useless.

Fwiw,

Jur.
