Steps to Reproduce



1. Deploy Pega718\Additional_Products\DSM\Products\Visual Business Director\archives\vbd.war.
2. Check Tomcat log - catalina.log.
3. Login as [email protected].
4. Switch to DMSample.
5. In the Designer Studio menu, go to Decisioning > Infrastructure > Services.
6. Verify that the services are running and reachable by using Save and ping.


Root Cause



It is  generic error that is encountered on the linux environment due to incorrect host settings. Basically Visual Business Director (VBD) was not able to bind to localhost address.


Resolution


 

Add -Djgroups.bind_addr={ipaddress} to the tomcat conf JAVA_OPTS variable and also update the /etc/hosts file to include both the private local IP and the external public IP to overcome the issue.
