Issue/Introduction
After getting MTCA up and running successfully, I attempted to install Message Service Server (and its prerequisite Data Mover) on another mainframe to connect it to MTCA also. However, after getting ZMSSTART installed on mainframe B, and recycling MTCA Tomcat, I am not seeing mainframe B in system list and job output showed MTCA only discovering original system, mainframe A. I also tried recycling ZMSHUB, but each time MTCA will only discover either mainframe A or B but not both. Is there an incorrect setting that I'm missing?
Environment
Release : 13.0
Component : MAINFRAME TEAM CENTER AUTOMATION
Cause
Customer deployment strategy involved cloning the MessageService Server to subsequent LPARs.
Resolution
Customer cloned the Message Service Server from one LPAR to another. The hubnode.log showed where the messageServiceHubNode was "already connected." Customer had to delete brokerData and database directories in the cloned instance/MessageService directory. The following message was displayed in the hubnode.log:
javax.jms.InvalidClientIDException: Broker: messageServiceHubNode - Client: EMBEDDED_BROKER_3b8eed91-1b2d-459b-96ad-8c6f25d75aba_localhost_outbound already connected from tcp://###.###.###:##### (where ###.###.###:##### is the IPAddress)
Additional Information
This could occur in any release of the Mainframe Team Center Automation product.
