We have recently installed ARS 7 on a Windows 2003 Server into an Oracle 10G database that lives on a remote server. We have the full suite of products Incident/Problem/Change/Asset/SLM etc... We are now receiving an error at startup that I was hoping someone here could shed some light on.
When we start the BMC Remedy Action Request Service we receive the following error: Could not start the BMC Remedy Action Request System Server service on Local Computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. The service does start but it is taking just over 6 minutes to actually do so. Remedy Support has told me that: "The delay in startup appears to be just in the fact that the normal startup queries ARServer runs to the db to load the data dictionary information into memory are taking a bit of time to be returned from the db. Basically ARServer is just waiting for the db to return the full result set. Here is the query I am referring to: Jun 07 2007 10:58:51.7180 */SELECT schemaId,fieldId,vuiId,propShort,propLong FROM field_dispprop ORDER BY 1 ASC,2 ASC,3 ASC Jun 07 2007 10:58:51.7500 */OK Jun 07 2007 11:01:42.2340 */COMMIT WORK" Their suggestion is to make sure that all NICs and Network Components are set to Full Duplex, yet they can not tell me why this would be the cause or the fix. Just that they have seen resolve the issue in some cases. In our environment that is easier said than done. Are switches run at Auto/Auto. We have ran sniffers and found that there is no packet loss at startup and there is no negotiation issues. My network folks can see no reason why the connection speeds would cause this issue. Has anyone else seen this in the 7.x environment and do you have some insight as to why? _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org ARSlist:"Where the Answers Are"
