TASK [connections : Install Connections Software] does not progress....seems to be hang.

[agorosti]

However, not sure if it is working, since it is stopped on a task for an hour now... Not sure if I should CONTRON+C the process or wait longer..

I am on the following task:

TASK [Generate Response file /opt/IBM/Binaries/logs/connections_install.rsp from LC.7.rsp.j2] **********************************
changed: [connections.giahsa.com]

TASK [connections : Disable Repository on Installation Manager] ****************************************************************
changed: [connections.giahsa.com]

TASK [connections : Change SOAP request timeout in /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/Dmgr01/properties/soap.client.props] ***
changed: [connections.giahsa.com]

TASK [connections : Install Connections Software] ******************************************************************************

An as you can see, the process is now taking 1 hour:

From /opt/HCL/Connections

$ cat _install.log

Output of Dmgr log (SystemOut.log) (tail -f) show entries only 5 minutes ago, so not sure if there is still process running or should I stop the task.

i
On /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/servers/ (Apps-connections, connections, nodeagent)

/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/servers/connections
[ansible@connections connections]$ cd ..
[ansible@connections servers]$ ls
Apps-connections connections nodeagent

However, I only have logs for the nodeagent.

Should it not be a System-Out also for Connections AppServer ? Why I have a specific Apps-connections server instead only connections one?

Please note that on previous testings, where I was not able to reach this point, I only had connections app server installed, and I was able to see all the apps deployed on such as node. Then, on this new install, I go some steps ahead, but I have 2 AppServers (the additional one apps-connections), and NO APPS deployed neither on the servers.

Also note that I did a grep -r -i Apps-connections on my playbooks to check if I did any error on the config, I did not use that name anywhere.....

Hi Andres,

It is same issue from another topic - you tried to install it with default values (I see it from the name it is using). Connections servers shouldn't exist, it was just a default, in your case it should be called connections7 based on your output.

You can try to uninstall Connections with playbooks/hcl/uninstall-connections.yml and install it again with playbooks/hcl/setup-connections-only.yml once your inventory file is fixed.
