albd service is not starting in Windows - clearcase

Facing error 1067 for when trying to deliver into integration stream.
On investigation, it was found that albd service isn't coming up.
Have checked out the doc regarding this error code on IBM, none of the resolutions have helped.
What could be the possible cause?
Errors faced :
cleartool: Error: Unable to contact albd_server on host 'hostname'
albd_contact call failed: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = [WINSOCK]
Connection reset by peer

I have seen this when the ClearCase license server itself was down.
But if this is not the case here, check the Windows Event viewer for more clues on that particular instance, for example right after attempting to start the albd service.

I don't know if that is the local host or a remote one. If the local host, this technote may help: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/troubleshooting-albd-startup-failures-microsoft-windows
If a remote host, that technote may still apply, but you may also be dealing with a network issue. Some questions may help clarify the issue in that case:
Does the issue impact multiple clients?
When did this start?
Are there any functions that work from this host? ("Cleartool quit" command, cleartool lsvob, etc.)

localhost MAMP with the shared database: Error - "This site can’t be reached"

I have a copy of MAMP installed on my iMac and on my MacBook Air and they share the same copy of a database through the Dropbox. And all worked fine just until now.
I think I got into my MAMP on one of my computers without waiting for the core files to be synchronized and maybe that causes conflict.
Now if I go to the localhost page I get
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
And if I go to any of my dev domains, for example, example.dev I get this
This site can’t be reached
example.dev refused to connect.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Hope that someone who is more experienced in this field could tell me what may have happened and what do I need to tweak to restore it back.
Thankful in advance!
The answer was much easier than I was thinking about. The whole point is that Chrome doesn't support dev extensions since the version of Chrome 63 (out since December 2017) that's why this problem occurs.

Getting "000004DC: LdapErr: DSID-0C0906E8, " error when configuring proftp with ldap

I tried to find a lot (I've already spent one complete day on this) to find the reason for following error:
000004DC: LdapErr: DSID-0C0906E8, comment: In order to perform this
operation a successful bind must be completed on the connection., data
0, v1db1
I've windows AD setup as LDAP server and using this for authentication in sftp using proftpd+ldap in Linux machines.
I've two machines (machine#1 and machine#2), where proftpd+ldap is configured. In both the machines all the required configuration (such as proftpd.conf and ldap.conf) is exactly same.
However, when I try to sftp to machine#1, it is able to do it successfully and shows no error in wireshark (tcpdump). However, when I try to sftp to machine#2, it gives me following error. Below is the tcpdump collected from LDAP server.
What I am unable to figure out is, why in failure case (machine#2) only, I am seeing bindRequest "<ROOT>" simple but not in successful case (machine#1).
There is clear indication that there is something in client (machine#2), which is causing this, but not able to figure out what?
Help will be highly appreciated.

Credentails Manager service is stopped

Hi,
I am getting the below error when trying to update my view . Also, creds manager service is stopped and not getting started.
As long as the credmanager.exe is not started, none of the view (snapshot or dynamic) will work. So you need to debug that first.
Typically, you would check the ClearCase logs, and the Windows event, to see what the issue is. See "how to fix or investigate 'Operation “view_ws_is_ws_view” failed'?", using cleartool getlog.
That kind of error ("This application has failed to start becauselibatriaks.dllwas not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem") was seen with rather old versions of ClearCase (7.0.1).
See for instance this thread.
If the DLL is present and the directory is in your path you should never
get this error.
Check to see how far ...\rational\clearcase\bin is down your SYSTEM path, and make sure the DLL's are in there.
ccgzip.exe will be called (by the client process) when checking in any files that fall back to the "compressed_file" element type. It may be called by the view server during file opens and checkouts to construct cleartext if needed. The former uses your user path, the latter will normally use the SYSTEM path.
We've seen odd behavior on Windows when the path gets >500 characters
long, though there seems to be no "official" limit to the length this environment variable (%PATH%) can grow to.
The error message you see is likely a path issue. Whether that's related to the other issue is unknown...
Is the albd server process running? The credential manager service is flagged to depend on this service. If that service fails to start, or terminates, the credential manager service will also fail.
A service startup failure should be in the Application or System Event logs. and from there the "Troubleshooting albd startup failures" technote on ibm.com would likely be a good place to start.

pnp4nagios not logging performance data for new host

We've just updated Nagios from 3.5.x to the current version (4.0.7) and subsequently added a new host for monitoring.
The new host shows as 'Down' in Nagios, and this seems to be related to the fact that pnp4nagios is not logging performance data (the individual checks for users, http etc are all find).
Initially there was an error that the directory
/usr/local/pnp4nagios/var/perfdata/newhost.com
that contains the xml setup and rrd files for the new host was missing), so I manually created this directory, but now it complains that the files are missing.
Does anyone know the appropriate steps to overcome this issue?
Thanks,
Toby
PS I'd tag this 'pnp4nagios', but that tag doesn't exist and I can't create them
UPDATE
It's possible that pnp4nagios is a red herring/symptom. Looking more closely I realise that Nagios actually believes the host is down, even though all services are up. The host status information is '(Host check timed out after 30.01 seconds)'...does this make any more sense?
It's indeed very unlikely that pnp4nagios has something to do with your host being down. pnp actually exports output and performance data to feed the rrd database and xml files (via npcd module or evenhandler command).
The fact that nagios reports the host check timed out after 30 sec means that :
- you have a problem with your host check command, please double-check the syntax
- this check command times out after a certain timelapse (most likely defined in nagios.conf) because the plugin was still running.
I'd recommend running this command from the server's prompt. You want to do something like :
/path/to/libexec/check_command -H ipaddress -args
For example:
/usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_ping -H 192.168.1.1 -w 200,40% -c 500,80% -timeout 120
See if something might be hanging. Having the output would be helpful.
Once your host check returns correct output and performance data to nagios, pnp will hopefuly do the rest.
In the unlikely event it helps anyone, pnp4nagios was indeed a red herring. The problem was that ping wasn't enabled for the host being checked, and this is the test for whether a host is up or not. Hence this was failing, despite other services being reported as working.

I'm trying to connect to a database using SQLDeveloper and I get the following error:
An Error was Encountered performing The requested operation:
IO Error: Conection reset
Vendor code 17002.
Could you please help me?
Listed are the steps that could rectify the error:
Press Windows+R
Type services.msc and strike Enter
Find all services starting with ora start these services and wait!!
When your server specific service is initialized (in my case it was orcl)
Now run mysql or whatever you are using and start coding.P
I encountered same problem with ORACLE 11G express on Windows.
After a long time waiting I got the same error message.
My solution is to make sure the hostname in tnsnames.ora (usually it's not "localhost") and the default hostname in sql developer(usually it's "localhost") same. You can either do this by changing it in the tnsnames.ora, or filling up the same in the sql developer.
Oh, of course you need to reboot all the oracle services (just to be safe).
Hope it helps.
I came across the similar problem again on another machine, but this time above solution doesn't work.
After some trying, I found restarting all the oracle related services can fix the problem. Originally when the installation is done, connection can be made. Somehow after several reboot of computer, there is problem.
I change all the oracle services with start time as auto. And once I could not connect, I restart them all over again (the core service should be restarted at last order), and works fine.
Some article says it might be due to the MTS problem. Microsoft's problem. Maybe!
I had the same Problem. I had start my Oracle TNS Listener, then it works normally again.
See LISTENER: TNS-12545 ... No such file or directory.
In your case the "Vendor code 17002" is the equivalent of the ORA-12541 error: It's most likely that your listener is down, or has an improper port or service name. From the docs:
ORA-12541: TNS no listener
Cause: Listener for the source repository has not been started.
Action: Start the Listener on the machine where the source repository resides.
