Summary Part II >A hotfix for a purchse order application (ariba) managed to do _something_ >to Iplanet ... and no one is around who knows (or admits to knowing) how >iplanet is configurd. Replying to my own post, how gauche. But we've isolated the problem down - the connector software that Ariba runs to hook between the application and web server _seems_ to be dying as it launches. Tech Support has been called, and all, if not well, will be well, soon. The root problem was that the database was not initialized, causing the connector bit to fail. The web server startup script hung waiting for the connector to ... connect. Very circular. Once the database initialized, it all came up and looked very pretty. Lessons Learned -I've learned 100% more about iplanet than I did this time yesterday. -Never ever test 'stuff' on your live application environment -Senior IT staff should not push development so fast you forgo nice stuff like ... a development environment. -Some awesome holes and problems with the application (see above) Brian Dunbar System Administrator - Plexus ---------- This contents of this e-mail are strictly confidential, but since emails are read from the top down, I assume you have read the contents. If they weren't meant for you, we have a problem. You know something that you shouldn't. What to do? Well, If you promise not to tell anybody and never to do it again, I will also keep silent about it OK? ---------- _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Fri Dec 20 16:34:48 2002
