ORB::BOA_init error when tring to run batch Job in DS

system · March 26, 2013, 5:34pm

Hi All,

I have a new installation of DS4.1 SP1 Patch1. And I’m able to migrate all of my projects from 3.2 to 4.1 with no issues. I’m also able to run all of the Jobs within the DS designer, but when I try to create a batch job and run from the command prompt, I get this error:

“Get Warning: “ORB::BOA_init: hostname lookup returned localhost (127.0.0.1/::1) Use the -OAhost option to select some other hostname” when run exported Data Services batch job from Command Prompt”

Has anyone seen this error in DS4.1 SP1 Patch1? I was told by the support team that I needed to check the Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) on the server and make sure that it is enables. Even if this is enabled, I still get the error.

Thanks,
Terance

Did you ever get this solved? I am getting the same error currently on a test box.

this is not an error it’s just a warning and can be ignored, if you are not able to execute the job from exported command script then check the errors in the %DS_COMMON_DIR%\log\AL_RWJobLaucher.log file

Bumping and old thread as I can’t find a solution.

I’ve tried a few permiutations of -OAHOST but none work. I added some entries to the hosts file, but they didn’t help either.

anyone get rid of this warning ?

Thanks.

Yes I do know the solution for this.

SAP Note - 1591706 says something opposite of what I did to get rid of this warning.

Control Panel --> Network and Sharing Center --> Local Area Connection --> Properties --> Check the Tick Box for Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) --> OK --> Close

Your warning will disappear!

Hmm, I saw the first post. I had the same issue and checking this option fixed my issue

I’ll get our network guys to make sure IP 6 is set up and working properly and see if that helps…

Is your machine’s host file setup properly?

As far as I can tell… I don’t know much about IP 6…

I never did get this resolved on my end … I did try all of the suggestions that I seen on this message board and on the SAP marketplace but nothing ever worked for me. Since this only a warning, I didn’t worry too much about it. I’m still able to run my reports

Were you able to resolve your problem with the DS Job Scheduler?

I too have a new installation of DS4.1 SP1, was able to migrate all projects. When I tried to schedule jobs they would not run but I can run them manually. can’t run from cmd prompt.

When checking the Task Scheduler on ETL machine, I have an error (0x2BF29) for the Last Run Result.

I checked the IPV6 protocol box and it did get rid of the ORB::BOA warning but still cannot run scheduled jobs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

==============================================================================================

Update: 9/10/2014

Checking the IPv6 checkbox worked for me… I had to reboot the job server after making the change… I have scheduled jobs that have run successfully for two days now.

Thanks for the help…

==============================================================================================

Update: 1/9/2015

After upgrading from SAP BO Data Services 4.1 to 4.2 and to IPS 4.1 SP5. Scheduled jobs did not run. Checked IPv6 and this did not fix the issue.

Found the following at SAP Knowledge Base: 2032665 - RWJobLaucher failed to connect to CMS.

Error message I received:

CRWJobLauncherApp::InitInstance called.
Failed to create ExtendedErrorHelper instance
*** RWJL_EXIT called.
*** ERROR: RWJobLauncher failed to connect to CMS. (BODI-1250220)

Followed the resolution given and this fixed my problem.

ORB::BOA_init warning can be ignored it will not affect starting of job launcher to start job, if you are not able to run the exported execution command script, then first check the %DS_COMMON_DIR%\log\AL_RWJobLauncher.log file

I selected the checkbox according to the instructions below and it resolved my issues.

It eliminated the message I received in the cmd window and I was able to schedule reports.

Thanks.
