Error "ArcSOC not bounded to RMI Registry" in ArcGIS Server Log

MHahn — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 15:14:18 GMT

I did an Upgrade of my Single Machine Deployment Portal from 11.1 to 11.3

After the upgrade all services worked well so I didn´t look closer. The next morning some services "didn´t wake up" and took 1 min or longer for the response.
In the log I found the following message for every service

"ArcSOC not bounded to RMI Registry with contextID: xyz"

Because I couldn´t find any information, I decided to try a migration to a fresh installed machien with webgisdr.

Now the restore is interrupted with the same error message.

Does anyone have informations about this error?

Thanks!

I also found these errors after upgrading from 11.1

I have recovered my deployment.

I found the issue was

arcgisserver\config-store\machines\<servername>.<domain>.json

And

arcgisserver\config-store\version.json

were both corrupted.

I stopped the ArcGIS Server service and copied these files in from another similarly configured ArcGIS Server deployment and then renamed / configured the files appropriately for the server with the issue, then restarted the ArcGIS Server instance.

Hi Tom, thanks for your answer.
That didn´t helped me.

But what do you mean by "corrupted" I could open and edit the files.

@MHahnDid you ever find the reason for your issues. I see the same error on several Geocoding services.

I had the same issue restoring from a WebGISDR backup in a HA deployment (11.5). Still investigating...

@SimonSchütte_ct We have the same issue in our HA deployment (11.5). We have a site with 3 servers, one works fine, but the other two get the RMI registry error. These two machines tend to start up all services/instances all at once, overwhelming the server and services eventually time out causing the RMI error. Do you see a similar behaviour in your HA setup? (We have an open case with ESRI and they are unable to find a solution at this time)

To get things back into a working state, I removed the non functioning server from the site and re-joined it again, followed up by a "synchronise with site". (If it still does not work, try reinstalling and reconfiguring the server and delete the install folder in the process.)

My best guess is that the servers do not sync correctly.
There were reports of synchronising issues in the past:
Upgrading ArcGIS Server step 2 of 2: Failed. Synchronize with site
Servers Randomly Synchronize with the Server Site,... - Esri Community
