itnode_daemon does not start fully
Clarifying Information
Error Message
Defect/Enhancement Number
Cause

When an Orbix Service is started and passed the "-background" flag, the process starts and then starts another instance of the process in the background. When the background process has been fully started the initial process successfully exits leaving the background process running.

By default, when the node daemon starts, it will try to recover the connections that it was monitoring when this node daemon was stopped. However the node daemon can experience difficulty in recovering these connections if the Orbix services where not shut down gracefully.

Resolution

If the node daemon takes too long/experiences problems recovering the previously monitored processes, the recovery functionality can be turned off.  When the configuration variable plugins:node_daemon:recover_processes is set to "false" the node daemon will not attempt to recover the previously monitored processes and will start immediately.

For further details regarding configuration variable "plugins:node_daemon:recover_processes" please see "Orbix Configuration Reference", "plugins:node_daemon" – recover_processes.
