 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
When starting application server in a ND/Base federated environment it fails with following exception into SystemOut.log file :

[3/14/06 11:49:54:140 EST] 492c19ab WsServer E WSVR0003E: Server WebSphere_Portal failed to start
com.ibm.ws.exception.RuntimeError
at com.ibm.ws.runtime.component.ORBImpl.start(ORBImpl.java:287)
at com.ibm.ws.runtime.component.ContainerImpl.startComponents(ContainerImpl.java:543)
at com.ibm.ws.runtime.component.ContainerImpl.start(ContainerImpl.java:418)
---- Begin backtrace for nested exception
com.ibm.ejs.EJSException: Could not register with Location Service Daemon, which could only reside in the NodeAgent. Make sure the NodeAgent for this node is up an running.; nested exception is:
org.omg.CORBA.ORBPackage.InvalidName: LocationService:Response timed out
org.omg.CORBA.ORBPackage.InvalidName: LocationService:Response timed out
at com.ibm.rmi.corba.InitialReferenceClient.resolve_initial_references(InitialReferenceClient.java:212)

Above exception gets thrown even after confirming nodeagent was up and running .
 
Cause
The following 2 property values of ORB Service had been changed for this problematic server :
requestTimeout="20"
locateRequestTimeout="2"
Default value for these 2 properties are "180" .
 
Resolving the problem
Preform the following to update these parameter values:
  • Log into deployment manager adminconsole
  • Expand Servers-->Application Servers
  • Select server --> click on ORB Service under Additional Properties section
  • Modify the values here
  • Save and synchronize changes with nodes
  • Now you should be able to start the server successfully

Note: If this problem appears in a stand alone server environment pls contact IBM support for further help as it requires manual editing of WebSphere appserver configuration file "server.xml" .
