Yesterday, we tried installing about 200 current yum updates on the RedHat Linux server where we’re running DSpace 5.9, and we’ve not been able to get DSpace to come back up since then. The problem persisted after we rolled back the yum updates and rebooted the server again. The messages in the DSpace log after restarting the dspace service and then the tomcat service seem to point to a problem initiating the Oracle connection, but our Oracle admin has not been able to locate the problem. I am able to make ODBC connections to the DSpace oracle database from another computer, so we know it’s running.

Below is what I see in the dspace log; putting the log in DEBUG mode does not produce any more information. Does anyone know what we should be looking for to pinpoint the source of the problem?

 

                        Thanks, Kerry

After more testing, I see that I can’t connect to the Oracle port on the server even using “nc”

 

nc localhost 1521

Ncat: Connection refused.

 

I’m thinking that on a working server, that wouldn’t be happening?

 

                        Thanks, Kerry

Apparently starting dspace has been crashing the Oracle listener process when the dspace server starts up. This is what our Oracle manager says he’s seeing today:

 

“The command service dspace start crashes the database if it is already started.  If the database is not started and you run the command it will start the database but the database shuts down immediately.  When I start the database manually it stays up and running.”

Sounds like something for your Oracle manager to fix, then, unless he
can show why DSpace is doing something specific that causes the crash.
(If it's possible for a client to do *anything* that causes the DBMS
instance to crash, Oracle should fix that.) One supposes that Oracle
is logging some kind of errors as it goes down....

Possibly someone who is familiar with systemd could spot something
that was damaged by the 'yum update'. The two units may be
interfering with each other somehow. Anybody?

I agree.

The Oracle client could not open a connection to the DBMS because the
DBMS is not listening on that port.
