4GL Broker doesn't start

Hi there,

I'm tyrying to create a new enviroment on a virtual machine. OS is W2003. Progress OE 10.1B
I installed Progress, the same way I did in other occasions. I created a new database via a new st file and loaded the dump from our production enviroment.
I installed the software I'm using (written in 4GL).
In the explorer tool I created all the parameters and right values I'm using for production aswell.
I made two connections, 1 4GL and 1 SQL.
When I want to start the database for the 4GL broker it says: There is no server active for.... on -H servername -S 2505 (704)

The application says with the start up: only sql clients allowed on this broker.

I did this before and I never encountered this, nor can I find anything usefull for these notifications.

Does anyone know why my 4GL broker won't start?
 
With the information you give one could only speculate - but, if I must, I would suggest you double check the definition of the database in the AdminServer. The Progress Explorer is just an interface to the AdminServer. The definitions for the database itself is stored in the conmgr.properties file which is located in the properties folder beneath the installation directory.

If I were you, I would stop the AdminServer, copy over this file from the production environment, start the AdminServer, connect with the Progress Explorer and change only the settings that need to be changed.


HTH, RealHeavyDude.
 
Thnx I'll give it a try, bur I already tried to adjust the conmgr.properties file before and after that nothing worked. Besides all I read everywhere is: don't this this manualy. But that was a new file, so I'll try your suggestion aswell.
 
I would not say: Don't edit the conmgr.properties file manually. You just should know what you're doing. When you edit it via the Progress Explorer tool it's just guaranteed that it is syntactically correct. Plus, copying these files from environments that work does make perfect sense to me ( I'm a copy/paste kinda guy stealing intellectual property wherever I can :lol: )

Whenever you change these *.properties files which configure the AdminServer - to be on the safe side - it would help if you restart the AdminServer otherwise there are chances the changes you made don't get picked up ...

Lol, that sounds like my kind of guy ;) :P

I'll let you know if it worked, I just have to adjust some directories and names etc. in the property file.
 
if server startup parameter use -H, only local connection allowed.
Remove -H from server startup, use it only when client connects to server.
 
It could be a firewall problem.

Try changing the port from 2505 to another port and try again.

Have you tried to only start the 4GL?
 
So I tried the solution from RealHeavyDude. I now have both the brokers online. Still can't connect from teh application, but that could very well be a complete different problem.
One step closer to my final solution anyway.

Thnx all.
