We recently upgraded SQLA on our MobiLink/RSOE server from 11.0.1.2431 to 11.0.1.2652. After restarting the services, everything work fine. (We have multiple MobiLink servers running on the one server for our various test environments). So we thought it would be a good idea to copy all the new DLLs to the Web Server/Relay Server (IIS 6.0). Our sequence of actions was: - Stop RS service - Stop IIS website - Stop application pool - Stop RSOE - Stop MobiLink services - copy new DLLs from MobiLink server to Relay Server - Start MobiLink services - Start RSOE service - Start application pool - Start website - Start Relay Server service The log file indicates the various ML Farms can now not be found. Our rs.config content, which we did not change, follows the log file entry. I. 2011-09-18 10:58:42. iAnywhere Relay Server Version 11.0.1.2652 I. 2011-09-18 10:58:42. I. 2011-09-18 10:58:42.

We have it running again now. We took 3 steps at once, so not exactly sure which one fixed the problem: 1. we had missed upgrading the rs_client.dll. We are thinking this needed to be done, but was not the problem, as the problems were on the server end. 2. We re-started both servers. This had also been done previously without solving the problem. 3. After both the web server and Mobilink servers were restarted, we restarted the RSOE and Mobilink services on the Mobilink server. viola... it is working now. |
I'm no Relay Server expert at all, but may it be the problem that the IIS service was still running when doing the update, and that you would need to restart that service (and not only to stop and restart the websites and app pools)?
Cf. the hints from the back of this doc page.
Hi Bill, Did you see the backend farm and server config being loaded from the begining of the restarted RS log?
If you are seeing "Cannot find farm 'X'" message while farm 'X' is already loaded then please confirm your rshost.exe, rs_client.dll and rs_server.dll are lineup to the same version.
If you are not using IIS virtual directory to point to %SQLANY11%MobiLinkRelayServerIISBin?? as your RS site then updating SQLA will not automatically redeploy your rs_client.dll and rs_server.dll. However, appearently your rs log indicates that you are running the updated version of rshost.exe. So, this is not highly likely to be the case. -Wing
