Hi,

we have an aix server where there are 4 Baan environments and another server aix with one Baan environment. The two machines are in a HACMP cluster and share the Baan licence.
Sometime happens that starting a bshell it spends a lot of time to connect with the application, and often it get a timeout error. So I have to kill the licence process in one of the two machines and restart it. After that everything goes fine for some days.

We have done a lot of network test, but we still don't know what happens and why.

Can someone have experienced the same problem or have some hints to give me?

Thank you very much!

What does your $BSE/lib/licence6.1 look like

On Server A it should be: serverA,serverB

On Server B it should be: serverB, serverA

Additionally: think about changing from serverB/serverA to
<IP Address of ServerB>/<IP Address of ServerA>

Hi,

we have the configuration of $BSE/lib/licence6.1 as you have described.
We have also used the IP address instead of the name server, and the IP of localhost as suggested by Baan, but it didn't solve the problem.

what does "licmon6.1 -B" say?

I am suspecting, that you might not have both the high availibility and network option licenced.

Brand information from brand file:

Licencenr. : 222
Options : 010000242041
Ba users : 0
Bx/bw users : 210
Start date : 30-07-1997
End date : 31-12-9999
Machine id : 1503005260
Servers : svuni043,svuni044
Brand information from shared memory:
Licencenr. : 222
Options : 010000242041
Ba users : 0
Bx/bw users : 210
Start date : 30-07-1997
End date : 31-12-9999
Machine id : 1503005260
Servers :

This is the output of licmon6.1 -B

From which data I can understand if I have the high availibility and network option licenced?

Thank you

The option string tells you, which options are validated. I do not know, what the single digits actually mean, but it seems, that clients without the two mentioned options have a very short option string and clients with the options, have a string like yours.

I would say, you have the two options. Obviously you can look in Baan in "Maintain system configuration", but having these two options maintained is not the same as having them licenced.

Still your licence seems ok.

What happens, if you actually only run with one licence daemon and just start the second in case of a failover/crash?
