DMA crashed with Exception: Failed to connect to an IPC Port

Hello,

After a reboot, my DMA is crashed.

I have no more elements and protocols available and an empty overview screen.

In the cube logging panel, I have the following errors:

And in the bpa the following error for Cassandra DB size:

(Code: 0x8013150B) Skyline.DataMiner.Net.Exceptions.DataMinerException: Failed to connect to an IPC Port: The system cannot find the file specified.

For information, I use Dataminer version : 10.2.1.0-11246

Thank you.

Hi Yvan,

Based on this info, my first guess is that SLDataGateway crashed or there are problems related to the database. To find the root cause, check if there are any crashdumps in C:\Skyline DataMiner\Logging\CrashDump. I'd also scan the SLDBConnection.txt logfile for connection errors and verify your database is running and accessible.

Hi Jens,
In the logging/crashdump directory there is one zip file with the following content

That crash looks like it’s from last week (and due to NATS issues). Have you tried restarting your DMA, if so, is the SLDataGateway service running? Did you see something in SLDBConnection.txt?
