Hi everyone,
I just ran into a bug with the Alchemi Manager with regards to how the the
Executor's hostname is stored in the database.
Say, for example, you have your Manager running at
manager.department1.university.edu. If you set up a dedicated Executor at
executor1.department2.university.edu, then the Executor service will fail
when started. By inspecting the Manager's SQL database, it seems that only
the short
hostname, "executor1", not the fully qualified name "
executor1.department2.university.edu" is stored in the database. Because
executor1 is not on the same subnet as the Manager, the manager cannot
connect back to the executor because its hostname lookup fails.
If you run into this problem, here's a temporary hack:
-Open up C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
-Add a line at the end of the file that has the IP address of executor1,
some whitespace, and then "executor1"
Obviously, you'll have problems if there exists a computer named
executor1.department1.university.edu
I'll take a look at the code and see where the hostname is determined
(probably in the Executor) and see if I can come up with a fix.
