Dear All,

Good Day To You...

I'm performing Windchill cloning process. As part of that, performed below activities on Source machine..

  • Installed Windchill 9.1 M070 along with SQL Server 2005 Standard edition followed by latest service pack( SP4) .
  • Also backed-up LDAP and SQL Sever 2005 and copied Windchill installation (Except Directory Server).
  • Note : Since, both source and target machines are 64-bit, have not tried to install Java SDK again on target, rather copied it along other Windchill installation files.

And performed below activities on target machine...


  • Created target machine and pasted already copied Windchill installation and installed SQL Server 2005 with Service pack same as in source machine.
  • Restored LDAP and Database successfully.
  • Activated Windchill shell.

Now, while trying to start Windchill, Method Server is not getting started.

It gives following error...

Nested exception is: wt.services.ManagerException: Could not initialize Auditing service.

I'm here by attaching log file contains exceptions...

I kindly request you to help me out to overcome these problems for successful clone.

Thanks In Advance.....

Hello,

Change in file "wt.properties" this properties-> java.rmi.server.hostname=hostenameXX.xx ---> java.rmi.server.hostname=plm.test.com

and execute this command shell :

xconfmanager -p

Hi Mr. Pascal,

Thanks for your reply..

I've checked wt.properties and host name which is plm.test.com is already there for the property java.rmi.server.hostname.

Anyhow, I've given same host name and executed xconfmanager -p in Windchill shell.

But, I'm still getting same error.

I'm here by providing screen shots regarding wt.properties, Windchill shell.

Kindly request you to check them once...
