General approach for troubleshooting plug-in issues


To effectively resolve a plug-in issue, you should first isolate the issue to the server, plug-in, or to context, and use the following guidelines:

  • Identify the steps to reproduce the error.
  • Review the error message to identify relevant configuration settings.
    For information on error messages reported by the plug-in server, see Error-messages-8501-to-8799.
  • If the plug-in failed to load, check the plug-in logs.
  • If the plug-in is of the type Filter and if it has failed to load, the filter log displays the ARERR 8755 error.
    For example, ARERR 8755. The specified plug-in does not exist. DSO.FILTERCONFIGURATION
    Where DSO.FILTERCONFIGURATION is the name of the plug-in.
    Review the error message to identify the plug-in encountering the error and the plug-in server, which hosts the plug-in.
  • If you receive the ARERR 8755 error message, check whether the AR System Administration: Plugin Server Configuration form includes the plug-in file name and path.
    For more information, see To verify plug-in server configuration.
  • Verify that the plug-in file is located in the path specified in either the AR System Administration: AR System Configuration Generic UI form or the AR System Administration: Plugin Server Configuration form and that permissions are consistent with the user who executed arserver.exe (arserverd). This is important if you are performing the installation as a non-root user.
  • Verify that the plug-in server is running and configured correctly.
    For more information, see Troubleshooting-issues-with-plug-in-servers.
  • Restart AR System server to restart the Java plug-in server.
    For information on how to stop a Java process associated with a Java plug-in server without restarting AR System server, see Knowledge Base article ID 000305806.

  • Investigate the specific plug-in reporting the error.
    For more information, see Troubleshooting-issues-with-ARDBC-plug-ins and Troubleshooting-issues-with-AR-System-Filter-API-plug-ins.
