Question/Problem Description

itconfigure fails to deploy with a parser exception when trying to link into an existing Orbix domain.

itconfigure fails with parser exception.

Clarifying Information

When linking into an existing CFR-based domain called cfr-test-domain which is running on host <cfr-host> the following command needs to be executed:

itconfigure.bat -nogui -link <cfr-host> -port 3076 -name cfr-test-domain

Error Message STARTING TO DEPLOY: domain cfr-test-domain on host localhost
FAILED TO DEPLOY: domain cfr-test-domain on host localhost
Parser exception: Error: URI=file:///C:/orbix/asp/6.3/etc/conf/core.xml Line=428: The entity "network.interfaces.prefer_ipv6" was referenced, but not declared.
ERROR: Parser exception: Error: URI=file:///C:/orbix/asp/6.3/etc/conf/core.xml Line=428: The entity "network.interfaces.prefer_ipv6" was referenced, but not declared.
Defect/Enhancement Number
Cause

This issue is caused by a mismatch in the jars used by itconfigure and the error indicates that some jars might not have been updated properly if the Orbix 6.3.6 installation is an upgrade from a previous version (6.3.4 or earlier).

Resolution Re-install a clean version of Orbix 6.3.6.
Workaround
Notes

The entities network.interfaces.prefer_ipv*, which the Orbix 6.3.6 itconfigure deployer needs, are declared in the %IT_PRODUCT_DIR%\\lib\\platform\\configure\\1.3\\coredeployer.jar.
Ensure this jar is the same as the one available in a clean Orbix 6.3.6 installation.
