DMA Reporter could not communicate with the DMA

Solved2.62K views10th February 2021Reporter

Sergio Abreu [SLC] [DevOps Advocate]150 4th August 2020 0 Comments

When we go to http://<dma ip main>/Reports, the Reports page is not working with the following reason: "DMS Reporter could not communicate with the DMA. (...)" see picture below(attached)

Before we discovered this issue, the DMS was upgraded from 8.5 to 9.6.0.0-9175

After discovering this issue, we took the following actions:

  1. Execute dcomconfig.exe (as Admin) on 9.6
  2. Upgrade from 9.6.0.0-9175 to 10.0.0.0-9346 ( Issue remains)
  3. Run C:\Skyline DataMiner\Tools\DCOMConfig.exe (as Administrator)
  4. Stop DataMiner
  5. From a command prompt (As Administrator), execute:
    c:\skyline dataminer\tools\Register DLL's of DataMiner (silent).bat
    c:\skyline dataminer\tools\Register DataMiner As Service.bat
  6. Start DMA
  7. Issue remains

Note 1: The Dashboards URL works fine.

Note 2: The reports page is generated as Anonymous (see below picture) no matter which user logs in, Administrator or some other user.

Note 3: DMA-1 runs on (unlicensed) Windows Server 2008 R2

This happens when a dll library hasn't been correctly registered, or when the DCOM permissions haven't been set, which makes that the Reporter asp pages aren't able to communicate with the SLASPConnection service.

It should work again after executing the tools "Register dll's of DataMiner.bat" and "Register DataMiner as Service.bat" (also gets executed when performing a DataMiner upgrade, so Reporter should actually work after an upgrade, you could also do the upgrade again using the same upgrade package).

Thanks Wim,
I updated the question with suggested steps but still issue persists.

Run the ‘dcomConfig.exe’ application which can be found in
C:\Skyline DataMiner\Tools folder, then reload the Reports page.

Thanks Wale,
It didn´t work.
Neither before/during/after the upgrade from 9.6 to 10.
