Troubleshooting connection problems


The troubleshooting steps that follow can help you resolve connections issues between the BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio application and the grid.

  • Verify the host name or IP address.
  • Verify that Access Manager is running.
  • Verify that the server is running.
  • Verify that the computer that is running BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio can access the server. For example, ping the server.
  • Ensure that BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio and the CDP are running the same version of BMC Atrium Orchestrator.
  • Ensure that BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio is running on a supported platform.
  • Ensure that clocks on the computer that is running BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio and the computer that is running the CDP are in sync. If they are out of sync by several minutes, the connection does not work.
  • Verify that you are using the correct settings for user name, password, peer context, port, and protocol.
     To review the connection settings, open the bao.options file located in the root folder of the CDP.

    In this example bao.options file, the CDP is installed on vm-w23-xyz010, the peer context is baocdp, the port is 38080, and the protocol is http.
