Hi, LHC and rmlocaldb corruption have been the major reasons for the IMA service not starting in the sites I support. The standard fix if there's a problem now is delete the RM local database, run lhcbak or dsmaint recreatelhc and then restart the service. Almost always works.

I didn't' think data store servers had local host caches -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Paul DeHaan Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2003 2:29 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: IMA service won't start If using Oracle as a back-end, I see this every time I install an additional Oracle application. The oracle installer pre-pends the path statement with the path to the newly installed home. I have to edit the path statement so that the Oracle Client (mine is 8.1.6) path comes before any other Oracle paths. This happens because Oracle has similarly named DLL's for the different applications, so the first DLL that it hits by searching the path statement that has the correct name is executed.
