Cause

The derby database was not started.

Diagnosing The Problem

1. Try running ping command and check if these commands do not time out.


    $ ping localhost
    $ ping HostName (replace HostName with actual hostname)

2. Run below command to check if the port mentioned in above error message (eg; 51836) is not being used by another application.
    $ netstat -an

3. Run below commands and check if these commands fails to run. The location of these commands vary depending if the installation was done as root user or as a non-root user.


    $ de_version

    $ listIU.sh

    $ de_lsrootiu.sh


If you do not find any issue with these diagnostics steps then proceed to next section.

Resolving The Problem

It is possible that the DE encounters the timeout when trying to start the derby database. If this is is the case, Increase derby server startup time to 200 sec. By default it is 90 sec.

Set below environment variable in command prompt/ssh terminal and then restart the installer in same command prompt/ssh terminal

  • On Windows :
Set IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS=-Dacu.dbmsControlServer.startWait=200
  • On Unix :
export IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS=-Dacu.dbmsControlServer.startWait=200

If above steps didn't help to resolve the issue then start the derby database manually as below and try the installation again:

Windows:


    % cd C:\Program Files\IBM\Common\acsi\repos

Unix:
For root installation:
    $ cd /usr/ibm/common/acsi/bin
For non-root installation:

$ cd <Install User's HOME>/.acsi_<install_username>/repos

$ java -cp ../lib/derby.jar:../lib/derbyclient.jar:../lib/derbynet.jar:../lib/derbytools.jar org.apache.derby.drda.NetworkServerControl start -noSecurityManager

If the installation fails again the please open a PMR and provide logs as described in below technote:
