Not more than one job server is allowed on this machine

dataservices information steward

Hey Guys !

Not sure if this should be posted in the Data Services section or here. Please let me know if you have any ideas or if I need to elaborate on something… ( I see that a new Data Services 4.1 installer was posted a few days ago (April 24th 2013) I may give that a try as I’ve exhausted everything else to try).

Problem:
when adding Information Steward centric job server in Data Services Server Manager I get the following error:

BODI-310268 - “Not more than one job server is allowed on this machine”

Background story:
Just finished an upgrade from BODS/BOIS 4.0 to 4.1-SP1 and it seems as though my Info Steward Job Server configuration was lost/corrupt. CMC->Applications->Info Steward seems to have the right Data Services job configured but when I run the Data Services Server Manager there is no configured job server for IS, only Data Services itself. I’ve renamed things and tried to add the job server with no luck. In fact, at one point I deleted all job servers out of the Server Manager and tried to add a DS related job server back and Server Manager threw the “BODI-310268” error mentioned above.

Software/Hardware configuration:
IPS, DS, IS all vertically stacked on one machine, Windows Server 2008 R2

you will get this error in case you have 2 job servers from a same machine with same repo, since you did an upgrade I think the AL_MACHINE_INFO table already has job server information from previous version which is not cleaned up

login to IS Repo Database from SQL Command and delete any obsolete entries from AL_MACHINE_INFO table (do not truncate this table, delet only job server that no loger appear in server manager)

if you get the same error for when Adding DS Repo to a new Job server then do the same thing for DS Repo also

other restriction is you cannot add both IS and DS repo to same job server, so create separate Job server for each of them

Thank you ! that did the trick… Let me know if you want a pizza sent to your doorstep :slight_smile:

It blows my mind that the BOIS/BODS 4.1 installers didn’t handle this properly. I feel like my machine configuration is pretty vanilla/generic.
