I have a nifty Jenkins installation that was running on a Dell Laptop, with 3 windows slaves. The hard disk on the laptop died (MBR issue), so the Laptop is being repaired. I was able to migrate the Windoze Jenkins_HOME data to my iMac, and moved the Jenkins master onto the iMac…. however I'm finding some interesting issues with getting the slaves to work from this new location.
The Java Web Start appears to be working OK, but the Windows Service is giving me 00005 permission denied errors with DCOM. I've had this problem off and on, and it's pretty painful to debug. It would be nice if there were some nifty JAVA DCOM troubleshooting tools built into the slave care and feeding. For example, there are tcp dumpers on the iMac (tcpdump), but the Windows machine doesn't have this natively. There are some downloadable ones… I'm sort of looking for tips/hints that would be useful for debugging the slave, the DCOM page that comes up when permissions are denied is an awesome resource, but it's rather tedious to go through all the time and doesn't bare a lot of fruit. I suspect that the slaves will start working again when I get back to the laptop, but I'm not 100% sure that I haven't had a Jenkins rev, and/or firewall mods on one or more machines in the week of downtime I've had. I'm trying to brainstorm ideas for ways to track successful Master/Slave connections, and tips for logging/debugging the slaves when they stop playing nicely. Of course… asking for some sensible way to troubleshoot anything inside Windows… is possibly barking up the wrong tree… but thats the development platform I'm stuck with. -R -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
