 I typically set all of these to debug.  These are not changeable during
 runtime like the C plugin is...so I just set them to debug and let them run
 constantly.

 So.with this, you should be able to take a look at your configurations

 Good morning/afternoon/evening!

 Recently, we've been seeing plugin errors creeping into our environment.
 They have now gotten to a point where the system can no longer function as
 designed.

 ARS 7.6.04 Patch 5

 CMDB 7.6.05 Patch 5

 Mid-Tier 7.6.04 Patch 5

 Apache Tomcat 6.0.20

 Windows 2008 Standard Server (virtual)

 MS SQL 2008

 We are seeing similar issues with different functionality on both our Dev
 and Prod environments.

 PRODUCTION

 3 identical application servers and 3 identical Mid Tier servers (running
 Apache Tomcat 6.0.20).

 We see the following error when we try to create a Seat in our CMDB.

 [SERVER_GROUP_NAME] (9555) BMC.FILTERAPI.NORM.ENGINE : RPC: Miscellaneous
 tli error - System error (connection refused)

 If we attempt to open  the Impact Simulator, we see a similar error:
 Cannot establish a network connection to the AR System Plug-In server :
 [SERVER_GROUP_NAME] (9556) AIS.FILTERAPI : RPC: Miscellaneous tli error -
 System error (Connection refused) (ARERR 8760)

 We turned down 2 of the 3 app servers and did not receive the error.
 However when we bring up the other 2, we continue to see them.


 DEVELOPMENT

 We see similar errors, but they come about differently.

 Single app server and a single mid tier.

 When we open the AR System Administration: Server Information form, we
 see this error:



 The specified plug-in does not exist. :
 REMEDY.ARDBC.SERVER.ADMINISTRATION (ARERR 8755)



 TROUBLESHOOTING TO DATE

 I've checked our ar.cfg files and armonitor files and they seem to be
 pointing to all the right places.  I can't find anything that is specific
 to this error in the kbase (although I've found things similar).  When I
 run through the troubleshooting for these similar things, everything seems
 to be OK.

 We have turned on just about every type of logging we can thing of.  And
 other than the Plug in does not exist error, we haven't found anything.



 I suspect I have missed something.  I'm hoping this will ring a bell with
 someone out there.

 I did open a ticket with BMC.  They have escalated the issue to
 Engineering.

 Any help would be most appreciated.


 Thank you in Advance!

Re: Plugin errors

2015-01-28 Thread Grooms, Frederick W
On the dev server do you see the plugin loading in the arplugin.log ?   (On the 
Dev server I would make sure the Plugin log level is set to ALL)

On Prod you might want to check that the plugin passwords have not been messed 
up in the Admin Console - Connection Settings

Re: Cyclical Plugin Errors

2011-12-28 Thread Butera, Joseph
An interesting update from the plugin stdout file:

Java plug-in server is initializing all plugins for 5 core threads.
BMC.CLOUD.ARDBCPLUGIN:initialize(): Error with root URL null - null.
BMC.CLOUD.ARDBCPLUGIN:initialize(): Error with root URL null - null.
BMC.CLOUD.ARDBCPLUGIN:initialize(): Error with root URL null - null.
BMC.CLOUD.ARDBCPLUGIN:initialize(): Error with root URL null - null.

Looks like the resource pool is 80% defective.

Any ideas on why initialization would fail 4 out of 5?

I tried reducing the pool to 1 core thread but that failed to initialize as 
well.

Re: Cyclical Plugin Errors

2011-12-23 Thread Butera, Joseph
Axton,

The plugin is BMC.CLOUD.ARDBCPLUGIN.  The ARMonitor logs shows no indication of 
the plugin crashing. Neither do the plugin logs. It resides on the ARSystem 
server (linux.)  I don't have the ar.conf file in front of me but it just 
repeats the plugin name, followed by a server name and port. I'll forward your 
connection diagnostics.

Yesterday evening we were working a plugin error with BMC. The plugin is used 
with a vendor form that that displays data from another Remedy instance. Both 
Remedy instances are up and running fine. The plugin however stopped working 
with an 8755 error; well, stopped working for the most part. Yesterday I found  
the plugin will retrieve the data 20% of the time in a rather persistent 
pattern: 4 misses followed by 1 hit, repeatedly. BMC is reviewing logs but 
nothing stands out. I would not be surprised to find it to be an issue with our 
environment. One manager suggested some round robin activity may be occurring 
with 80% of the resource pool defective. The plugin is a BMC product and we are 
running 7.6.04. Any ideas?
