Version Control Repository - Error retrieving repository

[Pootch]

Hello.

I have setup a version control repository on the HP SIM server.

The HP SIM CRM does have a trusted connection to the VCR (same virtuell server).

But when I try to check the contents of the selceted version control repository at the HP SIM CRM, I get followering message:

Error retrieving repository. Ensure the VCRM is installed and running. Be sure a trust relationship is established with the repository device.

At the VCRM Log i get following entry:

Unknown Request

Any Ideas how to solve the problem?

Hello,

Can you connect to the SMH of the server without typing your credentials ? So i short is there a working trust ? You should be redirected without suplying credentials.

Hello.

Single sign on works from the HP SIM crm. I got redirected automatically.

As i mentioned before, trust is not the problem.

I have had also rebuilt the repository.

[Andrew_Haak]

Hello,

Is the repositoryselected in SIM under Deploy > Software/Firmware Baselines > Manage Software/Firmware Baselines.

Select Default Version Control Repository....

[Pootch]

Yes it is.. 

I get the same Error message.

"Error retrieving Repository...."

[Andrew_Haak]

Hello,

You could try to reinstall the VCRM software. Is the VCRM  reachable from the SMH? 

[Pootch]

Reinstalling the VCR was my first step.. It did not solve the problem.

I have also tried another repository on a different server. Same problem...

Are there any logs at the HP SIM server i could check?

[Andrew_Haak]

Did you point to an existing repository or did you start from scratch? I'll have a look for a logfile and reply again.

[Pootch]

Hello.

I have started from scratch.

I have reinstalled the VCR now, but with the same bad result.

Error retrieving repository. Ensure the Version Control Repository Manager (VCRM) is installed and running. Be sure a trust relationship is established with the repository device. Finally, the VCRM may not respond if it is in the process of updating its catalog. In this case simply try again later

Trust is OK between HP SIM and VCR. Single sign on works, HP SIM checks a trusted relation to the VCR

Both are on the same Server.

Is the VCRM server cataloging itself when your checking it? check under the VCRM logs, Restart SIM service if VCRM is not cataloging.
