[closed] RTC-CC Synchronizer fails through cleartool error
again it's me with a synchronizer problem.
I do often have the problem that the synchronizer fails through those cleartool errors:
This message describes that the clearcase process could not be contacted ... but why?
When I just rerun the synchronization process than everything works.
The clearcase log just gives me this:
I think WINSOCK errors can mean everything or nothing ...
But this is really annoying as if the synchronizer shall be running automatically and you get often such an error you have to run it manually ... :(
Any ideas?
Greetings,
Simon

Hi Geoff,
nothing else is running on this PC but the synchronization engine and the Eclipse client to attach it.
Have to check if I'm able to get another PC for that but at the moment we do not have so much free PCs for testings :(
Then the next thing to investigate is whether there is a network load at that time (i.e. why the sync engine cannot talk to the registry server). If the sync engine cannot talk to ClearCase, there's no real work it can do. If you cannot get a sync host that has reliable access to ClearCase, you could add a few automated "retry" requests to your Synchronization schedule (e.g., one at midnight, one at 12:15am, and another at 12:30am).
After moving to a new host this error didn't reappear again.

Mar 20 '14, 1:50 p.m.It seems to be a ClearCase problem.
On which host is the synchronizer running?
Is it MU714723?

I think both assumptions are correct.
The host is MU714723 and when I restart the sync everything is fine again.
