Troubleshooting

If you have already defined a broker and an empty list is returned or you receive an unexpected message such as "connection refused", one possible cause is that the Broker Administration Service is not running and needs to be restarted.

Restarting the Broker Administration Service

  • Windows
    Select the broker instance with Administration Tools > Services > Software AG EntireX Broker Admin 10.9 <installation_number>, and from the context menu choose Stop then Start or Restart

  • Linux
    In directory <inst_root>/EntireX/bin, execute the following commands: 

    sagexx109 stop

    and

    sagexx109 start

    or

    sagexx109 restart
