BI Server Socket communication error

All,
OBIEE 10G with Oracle 11 database on Sun solaris.
BI Server is randomly crashing with following error message:
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLDriverConnectW).
State: HY000. Code: 0. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 12008]
Unable to connect to port 9703 on machine LOCALHOST. [nQSError: 12010]
Communication error connecting to remote end point: address = LOCALHOST; port = 9703. [nQSError: 12002]
Socket communication error at call=: (Number=-1) Unknown error (HY000)
If you restart, it works fine for 1-2 days. Then again crash happens.
Any ideas ..?

I've had similar issues due to insufficient memory on HP-UX. Probably best to raise a support log with oracle.

Request giving Socket communication error at call=recv: error.

Hi All,
My requirement goes like this for OBIEE 11G :
I have two requests(analysis) and I want to show either of them at a given time based on a Dashboard prompt. I have set a Presentation variable {PV} for this Prompt whcih always hays two values A and B.
My first request is like this :
Dim 1 Measure 1 ( this should be shown when I select Dashboard Prompt A.
My second request is:
Dim 2 Measure 2 ( this should be shown when I select Dashboard Prompt B.
I have to use the Guided Navigation ( Sectional Condition in 11g)
When Dashboard Prompt A is selected Section 1 i.e. Request 1 should be shown when Dashboard Prompt B is selected then it should show request 2.
To achieve this in request 1 I have added a extra filter '@{PV}' is equal to/is in 'A' and in request 2 I have added a extra filter '@{PV}' is equal to/is in 'B' so as when we select B in Prompt the first request should 'No Results' so as I can achieve my Guided Navigation.
But to my surprise when I select B in the Dashboard Prompt the first request throws an error.

Hi,
Mistakenly my machine got restarted and after that when I tried to start OPMN services,its showing all the processes alive but after that ,while restarting BI services from windows
its throwing an error of unexpectedly shutting down of services.
My NQS log says:

Socket communication error in OBIEE 10g.

Hi
I have below error in nqserver log by which i am unable to connect admin tool and presentation service. I am using OBIEE 10g.
[nQSError: 12002] Socket communication error at call=recv: (Number=10004) A blocking operation was interrupted by a call to WSACancelBlockingCall
Please Suggest.

Hi ,
Its not about the no. of connection pools u have in ur RPD .Its the maximum number of connections allowed for this connection pool. The default is 10. This value should be determined by the database make and model
and the configuration of the hardware box on which the database runs as well as the number of concurrent users who require access.

How to correct socket communications error 10054: connection reset by peer

We are running Lookout 5.1 (build 8) reading data through Modbus Ethernet Drivers and we are constantly getting "socket communications error 10054: connection reset by peer" alarms on the server. When I connect to the server file with a client file the client is experiencing communications problems including locking up when editing, trends not showing up, stops updating completely (can only be corrected by restarting server file), and losing symbolic link.
Does anyone know how to stop this alarm from happening and if this could be the cause of my faulty server-client connection or is this strictly a problem between the server and the ethernet radios in the field?
Any response would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Jason

DST1,
All I had to do was increase the receive timeout in each driver's properties until the socket errors disappeared. I have them all set to 30000 msec. Communications have been great on this wireless ethernet system ever since.
Sorry for not answering sooner - needed to make time to go back and look at the file and then TS Lee came our way!

You access the DSCC interface via the system webconsole. If you have any problems setting this up/enabling it I recommend you review the directory server 6 installation and administration manuals on docs.sun.com.
Moreover, does DSCC already included in Sun java communication suite or do i need to download it manually?It is included already with the Comm-Suite installer.

Servlet Server Socket Communication problem

Hi
Iam having this problem ...when I read data in server line by line it works but when I try to read byte by byte server hangs. This is my code
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(
clientSocket.getInputStream()));
//it works fine when i do
String strLine = in.readLine();
//but hangs when I do like this
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
int r = in.read();
while(r != -1)
baos.write(r);
r = in.read();
I am sending data from the client socket as
out = new PrintWriter(addArtSocket.getOutputStream(), true);
I just do out.println to send data.
Is there something wrong that I am doing?
Thanks

hi,
basically, I suggest that you have the communication
channel in the same type between two ends. For example,
if you decide to connect two side byt Stream, you just
apply your code in the sort of Stream for I/O.
If you decide to connect two sides by Reader/Writer, you
apply your code in the sort of Reader/Writer for I/O.
Don't mix them up. Although I don't know what may
happen. For example, you want to pass an Object
between two ends, you could use ObjectInputStream/
ObjectOutputStream pair on two sides. Don't put
ObjectInputStream in one side and talk to one sied
which write data by other OutputStream filteer but
not ObjectOutputStream .
You may find something interesting.
good luck,

Mutli threading in Server Socket giving error for parallel requests

HI, I wrote a ServerSocketProgram.java which listens to client and receives data. I used multithreading on each request it receives . But when two clients parallelly send data the server is struck at the iStream.read() operation. I have given setSoTimeOut(20000) . So its giving me a socketTimeOut Exception .If I removed the time out , It gave SocketException : socket closed. And there's no response to the client.
Please tell me the reason for the above problem . The sample program is below.
while ((clientSocket=serverSocket.accept())!=null){
                    System.out.println("in side main "+clientSocket.getInetAddress());
                    Thread c= new Thread(new ServerSocketProgram(clientSocket));
                    c.setDaemon(true);
                    c.start();
The Constructor is :
public ServerSocketProgram(Socket clientSocket){
          this.socket = clientSocket;
          try {
               oStream =new DataOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
               iStream =new DataInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
          } catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
The run method :
public void run() {
          int op=0;
          try {
               while ((op=iStream.read())!=0){
                    System.out.println(op);
               oStream.writeBytes("hi success ");
               oStream.flush();
          } catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          try{
               oStream.close();
               iStream.close();
               socket.close();
          }catch(Exception e){
               e.printStackTrace();
Thanks in advance ,

Your end-of-stream test should be looking for -1, not zero. Zero is a possible data value, but you're probably never receiving it so you're never getting to the output statement following your read loop.

Client / Server Socket Communication - Should use 2 ports?

If we have a client server architecture using a socket based connection, should there be 2 serperate sockets? One dedicated to sending and one dedictated to receiving? What happens if both the client and server both send at the same time? How does that get handled? Does one of the messages get dropped? Thanks...

There are of course reasons you might want to use two sockets.
For instance security. One socket is encrypted and the other isn't. Or because the server initiates a confirmed port connection back it verifies the IP.
Or because the main socket is used for control and the second one is used for data. That way the client can tell the server to pause or make other adjustments in the data while the data is still flowing.

Problem with socket communications

I am trying to put together a client server socket communication pair.
I have one application that runs in the background acting as a server and another that can be started and stopped that acts as a client.
I can start the server and create a server socket with no problem.
I can start the client and it connects to the server.
The server acknowledges the connection and appears to go into a blocking state waiting for the client to send another message.
The server blocks at the line
parent.logit("Waiting for message from EVR..... ");
The problem is that when the client sends another message, the server doesn't hear it.
I am not sure if the problem is with the client or server communication code.
If anyone out there is a socket communication guru, I would appreciate it if you could tell me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks

Your first problem is that you keep closing and recreating the ServerSocket. Do this once only in the lifetime of the server.
This is such a basic error that I haven't read the rest of the code. Before you go any further I suggest you read the Custom Networking trail of the Java Tutorial.

Odbc driver returned an error (SQLDriverConnectW).
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 12008] Unable to connect to port 9703 on machine LOCALHOST.

Please suggest.

Hello,
In my case NQSconfig.ini file has some additional entries for the repositories.
As soon as I deleted those additional entries just keeping only the required repository entry, BI server is started.
Try looking in the log file.
Thanks.

Hi Steve,
We got the same issue working with WPF client , Hence we upgraded the SMP server 2.3 from SP00 to SP03 .
At present the Server is SMP 2.3 SP03 but we have not installed any certificate.
Again when trying to connect to server we got the Communication error(14) error.
Do we need to install the certificate again ?
Please let us know the exact process of installing and working with WPF client with SMP 2.3 SP03
Thanks
Neha
