Greetings, as part of a proyect with weblogic, I installed and configured ODS 11.1.1.7.0. I followed all the steps in the manual, except that I never could use cacao, because it always told me "This subcommand is no longer supported. Please use 'dsccagent create'." Eventually I made it work, created entries and everything. The project was a success.
After a break of a couple months, I had to revisit the project. I did my usual routine of starting the agent, and through the DSCC page in weblogic, start the server. But no matter how many times I hit the start button, it never started. Sometimes I got the message of 'The server remains inaccessible'. Doing "bin\dsadm status instance" said that it was running, but the page (and my weblogic project) disagreed. I then thought of removing the server instance and create a new one. The DSCC page still said that the server was stopped, no matter what the commands in cmd said.
After a couple of hours and in desperation, I removed the whole directory of dsee7, and proceed to do a new, clean instalation. This is the output.
c:\Oracle\dsee7\bin>dsccsetup ads-create
Choose password for Directory Service Manager: adminDSM
Confirm password for Directory Service Manager:adminDSM

DSCC agent will use the following port: 3997
Enter DSCC agent password: agentDSM
Confirm the password: agentDSM

Run the following command to register the agent in the registry : c:/Oracle/dsee7/bin/dsccreg.exe add-agent c:
/Oracle/dsee7/var/dcc/agent
c:\Oracle\dsee7\bin>dsccreg add-agent c:\oracle\dsee7\var\dcc\agent
Agent path: c:\oracle\dsee7\var\dcc\agent
Enter DSCC agent "c:\oracle\dsee7\var\dcc\agent" password: agentDSM
Enter DSCC administrator's password: adminDSM
Cannot connect to DSCC registry
c:\oracle\dsee7\var\dcc\agent has not been registered in DSCC on <host>.
I got the same message of 'Cannot connect to DSCC registry' before removing the old directory, and it was one of the reasons I finally decided to remove the directory and start over.
Is the password to the DSCC registry stored somewhere permanently, outside the dsee7 directory? How can I reset/change the DSCC password so it will allow me to proceed?
Many thanks in advance!
