Issue/Introduction

The following error is seen in the VNM.OUT and the SpectroSERVER will not start:

ERROR TRACE at CsCorbaMgr.cc(1254): Failed to connect to CORBA Naming Service on corbaloc::<SS_hostname>:14006/NameService, will retry in 5 seconds

If you then view the $SPECROOT/bin/VBNS/NAMINGSERVICE.OUT the following error shows:

 ExtFactory fails! 

org.omg.CORBA.INITIALIZE: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: vbsec64.Init  vmcid: 0x0  minor code: 0  completed: No

this entry is in the .corbarc but not the .jcorbarc:  vbroker.orb.dynamicLibs=vbsec64 

 

 

 

 

Environment

Release: All Supported Releases
Component: SPCCSS - SpectroSERVER Core

Cause

The problem is due to an incorrect reference in the <SPECROOT>/bin/SDPM/NAMINGSERVICE.idb file

Resolution

The solution is to change the last ARGV entry in the <SPECROOT>/bin/SDPM/NAMINGSERVICE.idb file for the DORBpropStorage parameter from .corbard to .jcorbarc:

-DORBpropStorage=$SPECROOT/.corbarc

To be:

-DORBpropStorage=$SPECROOT/.jcorbarc

 

Stop and restart processd for the change to take effect.
