That's an unfortunate and not so helpful error message. Before you start the CQ Gateway, you need to make sure the Jazz server is running. By any chance was the Jazz server not running when you received this error message?

Hi again,

I was able to reproduce this problem by not having started the Jazz server. I created the following work item for this https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Jazz%20Project#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=57403.

Lorelei

Thanks for the comment. I tried again for a few times. The same error message was displayed while the Jazz server was running.

Gary,

Are you saying you are able to reproduce the same problem starting the CQ gateway after having started the Jazz server?

Lorelei

Thanks. Yes - I was able to reproduce the issue after making sure that the jazz server has been started.

Here is the log of the gateway. I see "CRRTC4543E: CQ Event Polling has NOT been started com.ibm.team.interop.service.managers.clearquest.common.InteropException: Problem connecting to Jazz Repository using https://RTCAdmin:xxxxxx#1@10.63.11.31/jazz". What does it mean? Thanks.

I updated the work item with your comments and hope someone can get back to you soon.

Does the jazz server uri have the correct port specified in the cqconnector.properties file? It should be 9443.

Thanks. We are intended to use port 443 instead of 9443. We indeed tried both 9443 and 443 and we saw the same error. Including the port number (443) or not in the URI did not make difference either.

Don't know if it is legal URL syntax, but that does the "#1" mean?

Try without that. You will notice in the log was:

10:38:28,641 DEBUG com.ibm.rational.interop.level1
- Jazz Interop server is: null(-1)
10:38:28,641 DEBUG com.ibm.rational.interop.level1
- Logging in as null

It probably couldn't parse your url correctly...
