Windchill 10 -- Method Server getting aborted on fresh installation

[praghuram]

Dear,

I installed new Windchill 10 PDMLink on my machine yesterday. After the completion of installation, the server started properly and I was able to access the GUI. After restarting the machine, I tried starting the server again but no luck. Every time the MethodServer aborts and stops. I am attaching the Method server logs file here with. Please do help me. Its bit urgent and I need to deliver some important tasks by weekend.\

Thanks,

Raghu

Windchill DS is not running, hence the reference to port 389.

Oracle and/or Windchill DS not started

Raghu,

There might be a couple of things at play here. First, you need to make sure that your JNDI adapters are not using the port 389 which is the port for WindchillDS. If so, you need to change that to point to a different port, the property you are looking for is com.ptc.ptcnet.Ldap.java.naming.provider.url. The value of this should be your server name : <port_number>.

Check this and see what it says.

Raghu,

Tyler's point was my second point which I forgot to mention. If you your JNDI adapters are point to a different port number, check to make sure that WIndchillDS is started and running on your server.

@Tyler: Good point.

Hi Raghu,


Looks like your WindchillDS server is either not up or not
responding. Restart it once and see if it resolves the issue.

Hi Raghu,

There seems to be an issue with the LDAP. That is after installing PDMlink
10 the LDAP does not run as service, which is started automatically by
Windchill Installation.

So after installing PDMLink goto <windchill home=">\WindchillDS\Server\bat\
and run the file controlpanal.bat and login to the Windchill DS
controlpanel by providing the password that you specified while installing
PDMLink

Now Goto Windows Services section and enable the services for DS. Now goto
services.msc and set the Windchill Directory Server service to automatic

After this all should be fine

Let me know if this has fixed the issue

Cheers!!!
