I think I have seen this before.  If I remember correctly, I killed the host server process and then restarted it and that cleared it up.

I agree that either your hostserver isn’t running or you have multiple instances of it running.

Both conditions will cause what you are seeing.

On my AIX server I check for either condition by opeining and xterm and doing

Code:

# to see if hostserver is running

   hciss

# to see if more than one instance of the same hostserver is running

   ps -ef | grep CloverleafHostServer

Pls. can someone explain reasoning behind this error ?

Thanks!

[Russ Ross]

I’m not sure exactly what reasoning you are asking for so I will speak to my situation.

Turns out the hostserver would launch multiple instances of itself because we had assigned interfaces with a port number in the ephemeral range.

On our AIX platform that means a port number >= 32K.

We remediated all our port nubmers to be less than 32K and the multiple instances of the hostserver went away.

The other problem we had was the hostserver would randomly die if the $DISPLAY environment variable was set when we started the hostserver.

Here is the script I currently use to start the cloverleaf hostserver that solved the random deaths.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/ksh

cd $HCIROOT/server/logs
myDISPLAY=$DISPLAY
unset DISPLAY

# here is an environment variable that can be set if a process uses to much paging space
# that is discussed at this URL:  http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v2r1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.itame3.doc_5.1%2Fam51_perftune113.htm
# In this example the process memory limit is set to 512 megabytes,
# which was big enough to process an 8 megabyte HL7 claim that took 412 megabytes of process memory
# which was 4 times bigger than our worst case
#
# export LDR_CNTRL=MAXDATA=0x20000000
#

hciss -s h
wait
export DISPLAY=$myDISPLAY

# might need to unset the LDR_CNTRL when done
#
# unset LDR_CNTRL

You will also get a screen indicating an issue when you delete a site that was the last site launched when the IDE was shutdown.

In this case you can click okay and proceed to choose one of the sites that still exists.
