Issue/Introduction

Issue:

The same virtual service endpoint responds when running in ITR on a workstation, but when deployed on the VSE it doesn’t work. Other services are work fine on that VSE.

Exception from VSE.log:

2016-01-20 18:17:44,835Z (10:17) [Event Sink Thread Pool Thread 2] ERROR com.itko.lisa.simulator.SimulatorImpl - Got exception in pulse(), Coordinator died?

java.rmi.RemoteException: Attempting to call method on local object, but object not found in co-located objects - it must have been deregistered:

 

 

 

Cause

 

- Sometimes the modifications made on the local workstation for a VS fail to update at the server when deployed and VS picks up the old mar from VSEDeploy folder.

- This behavior could also result from .mar or mar.racking files generated due to incomplete or corrupted deployment not being cleaned up and replaced with new deployment.

Environment

All Devtest releases
Component:

Resolution

 

- From the vseDeploy folder, deleting the mar and mar.racking files of the specific Virtual Service which is giving issue and restarting VSE component should resolve the issue.
