IBM OminiFind Fix Pack Failure

March 19, 2011

Shades of Microsoft’s Windows 7 phone update. Big companies seem to have some issues with details. The Apple method obviously does not have much of an impact on some big outfits.

If you are having problems with the OmniFind Enterprise Edition Fix Pack, Here’s help.

IBM provides the solution: “Starting Stellent Session Fails with rc=251658477 after Fix Pack Is Applied.” The error message appears in the CCL’s log and the Stellent session does not start with the esadmin check command.

The following message occurs:

com.ibm.es.ccl.server.responders.sys.SessionAttachMessageHandler doMessage
SEVERE: Attaching session “col1.Stellent” failed because of there are no message handlers for that session.

IBM offers this additional information:

“Other sessions are getting started but Stellent session fails. Thus you can still crawl files and might be able to parse some file types (such as html, text, etc) but you can not parse/index binary files such as PDF, Microsoft Office related files that goes through Stellent session.”

The articles does offer a workable solution. Haste creates work and, of course, generates consulting revenues. IBM professionals are very, very busy.
