Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere eXtreme Scale users using * * multi-master replication (MMR). * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An explicit error message is not * * provided when incorrectly formatted * * foreign endpoints are used in * * the catalog server properties or * * the xscmd -c establishLink command. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When the foreign endpoints are misconfigured, then the catalog service domains are not linked. You might see following Object Request Broker (ORB) or IBM eXtremeIO (XIO) message: ORB example: Could not bind to corbaloc:iiop:cat1:hostname1:7701:7711/Objec tGridLocationService org.omg.CORBA.BAD_PARAM: bad host 'cat1:hostname1:7701' vmcid: OMG minor code: 9 completed: No XIO example: com.ibm.websphere.objectgrid.ObjectGridRunti meException: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "hostname1:7701:7711"
Problem conclusion
Verify that the foreign domain endpoints are properly formated. They should be a comma-separated list of the hostname and listener or bootstrap port for the catalog servers in the foreign domain. For example: host1:2809,host2:2810. The interim fix includes a better error message.
