  • Can you please check all your appian engine are started properly or not ?
  • To verify you run:

    servever/_scripts/diagnostic/checkengine
  • I apologize for the typo. It should be:

    <APPIAN_HOME>\\server\\_scripts\\diagnostic\\checkengine
  • Did you find the root cause? I am getting the same error.. Eduardo, any update from your side on this? Ours is on Weblogic. Both are on the same server. I have verified both custom.properties file and topology.xml file and all seems right to me... Check engine returns all 16 engines...? Any other reason?
  • This error indicates the application server cannot connect to the Appian engines. Things to check:

    1. That the application server can connect to the engine server based on its copy of appian-topology.xml.
    2. Make sure the ports from appian-topology.xml are open for the application server to communicate
    3. If deploying a security token (appian.sec) make sure the token matches on both servers. If there's a mismatch the APP_SERVER won't be able to communicate with the engines.
  • I configured Appian using ROOT user and then changed to another user. Some KDBs were created using root and some with the other user. Is that a problem? How do I recover from that problem? The engines are not starting now...
