RPC server is unavailable error

3041086

Hi All,

I am receiving an error when I am using a process management grid to reject entities. Below are snapshots of the error message:

What could be the underlying cause of the RPC error? I tried restarting services because I believed it to be a communication issue the application had with the data servers but the restarting services didn't fix the error. Thank you for your help!

Not sure what you mean by Delete entities, but it's interesting that you mention process control.

I remember running into an issue there when I had applied a filter(such as review level 1 or lower) and then switched to a Period View of All.  It can't filter unless it's in single period view, but it tries to retain the filter causing an error.  I can't remember exactly how I resolved it, but I seem to recall it crashed the datasource and I had to recycle services after doing that.

I'd suggest trying to find out if that's what's going on here.  I also avoid those filters out of caution now.

Are you saying that after recycle of HFM Services you are still getting the same issue because RPC errors comes when HFM process are still running at the same time HFM services are stopped.

In Metalink you will find tons of information about this error and remedies, I am pasting few of them for you.

Hi Vikram,

Yes, after recycling the services I had the user retest the action and he was still receiving the error.

All the services are up and running. For some reason I am not able to view the links you provided. Would deleting the HFM clusters in the SS registry fix the solution?

No, don't delete anything until you find cause for it.

The links which I have provided is to understand what all the reasons you may see this error. RPC server errors are pretty common and it shows for so many issues

-Is all the users are getting same issue?

-Did you happened to check in all the machine and other browsers?

-Which version?

-Apart from screenshot error, do you see any error in the HFM log files?

Thanks.

Ok, when you have recycled the services, whether you have done IIS too?

Thanks.
