===Unable to contact the request broker on localhost===

The <nop>OpenLink oplshut utility returns "Unable to contact" errors, when it cannot locate the Request Broker. If you experience "Unable to contact" errors, take the following action:


1. Use a text editor to open your <nop>OpenLink Session Rules Book (oplrqb.ini). You will find the Rules Book in the /bin sub-directory of your <nop>OpenLink server components installation.

2. Locate the [Security] section. For example:

{{{
[Security]
StartupBy = .*
ShutdownBy = .*
ShutdownFrom = localhost.*,127.0.0.1
ValidUidRange = 0, 50000
;TraceRulebook = debug.bk
;IncludeRulebook= samplesv.bk
}}}

3. Set <nop>ShutdownFrom to .* . For example:

{{{
ShutdownFrom = .*
}}}

4. Save your changes and exit the file.

5. Test oplshut.


If the problem persists, take the following action:


1. Use a text editor to open your Session Rules Book (oplrqb.ini).

2. Locate [Protocol TCP]. For example:

{{{
[Protocol TCP]
PingWatchdog = No
PingInterval = 600
;IPAddress = 127.0.0.1
PortLow = 5000
;PortHigh = 60000
Listen = 5000
}}}

3. Record the value passed to Listen. For example:

{{{
Listen = 5000
}}}

4. Close your Rules Book.

5. Open an MS-DOS command prompt.

6. cd into the /bin sub-directory of your <nop>OpenLink installation.

7. Use the +port <port#> option to pass the Listen port to your Broker. For example:

{{{
oplshut +port 5000
}}}
