Troubleshoot inter-server communication

For problems establishing communication between servers in the deployment, verify server URLs in LotusConnections-config.xml, which....

• Contains the fully qualified DNS name of the host server for each of the Connections applications,
• The DNS name matches the domain name in the self-signed certificate used by the host server

For example, if a server's domain name is not configured correctly, problems might occur when a Search indexing task is executing and it attempts to crawl the specified target application's' secured seedlists.

To configure an inter-service URL for one of the Connections application servers:

1. Check out the configuration files...
   ./wsadmin.sh -jython
   execfile("connectionsConfig.py")
   LCConfigService.checkOutConfig("/tmp","cell_name")

   To determine cell:

   print AdminControl.getCell()

2. To find out the current value of a property:
   LCConfigService.showConfig()

3. Replace the IP address for the specified host server with the fully-qualified DNS name or short DNS name for the server.
   LCConfigService.updateConfig("property","value")

   where property is one of the following:

   • application_name.href
   • application_name.ssl.href
   • application_name.interService.href

   ...and value is the full DNS name for the specified host server.

   For example:

   LCConfigService.updateConfig("dogear.ssl.href", "https://connwin1.dyn.myco.com:9443")

4. Save the changes and then check the configuration files back in :

   LCConfigService.checkInConfig()
   exit

   Run the checkin during the same wsadmin session in which you ran the checkout command.

5. Stop and restart all of the Connections application servers.
