OpenEdge 11.4 & Windows 8.1

Posted by Valeriy Bashkatov on 14-Oct-2014 07:26

Hello,

I encountered a strange problem with OpenEdge 11.4 on Windows 8.1 (on my laptop).

After installation of OpenEdge 11.4, I tried to start OpenEdge Management where I try to add new database resource, but after click on "submit" button I get this message (database not started):

Then I found that there is another problem - with the Trend Database (also not started):

I have licenses for OE RDBMS ENT, OE Management, TP and PDS OE - all is valid, not out of date.

The OpenEdge 11.3 is works correctly on Win 8.1.

In the openedge_11_availability_guide_2014_08_27 marks that there is some problem with Win 8.1, but it is for 11.3.2 and refer to installation process:

*** There were a couple of issues observed during recent certifications of OE 11.3.2 32 bit / 64 bit on Windows 8.1
and Windows Server 2012 R2. Please refer to these KB articles for corresponding workarounds.

But this does not that with which I encountered.

Has anyone encountered with something like that?

Regrads,
Valeriy

The problem lies in system plugin (osmetrics.dll) not loading.
 
[2014/10/14@14:37:29.078+0400] [0] [AdminServer]         * Plugin.System not installed: Plugin asked not to be installed. (ADMMsg014) (7439)
[2014/10/14@14:37:29.078+0400] [0] [AdminServer]         * Failed to install plugin Plugin.System. (7433)
 
Either there are missing dependencies (check with depends.exe) or the Windows performance counters would need to be rebuilt (I’d try that first).
 
cmd as admin:
 
rebuild the counters:
 
cd c:\windows\system32
lodctr /R
cd c:\windows\sysWOW64
lodctr /R
 
resync the counters with Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI):
 
winmgmt /RESYNCPERF
 
services.msc
 
stop and restart the Performance Logs and Alerts service (if it hasn't been started, make sure it is)
stop and restart the Windows Management Instrumentation service.

Is there anything pertinent in the c:\openedge\wrk\admserv.log?

If you start a proenv session and type "fathom -query" what do you get?

Valera,
 
you would need to attach admserv.log (as James pointed out) and also ads0.exp

This helped! Many thanks, Libor!
