Deadline was working fine until yesterday on one of the PCs(PC03).
Neither deadline slave or monitor wants to connect to the repository anymore.
Right clicking on deadline launcher tray icon and choosing for example “change repository” doesn’t open anything.
We tried to restart the PC but it didn’t work.
We didn’t try to reinstall it yet, going to be the next step, but was waiting to see if there is another solution before we reinstall it.
Deadline Not Connecting To Repository Anymore.zip (14.6 KB)
Go to \your\repository\settings and open dbConnect.xml in a text editor and check the Hostname setting. Then on the PC having this problem, open a command prompt and try to ping it. For example, if the Hostname setting is “my_server”, you would run this from the command prompt:
ping my_serverWe’re testing to see if this PC can even connect to the server machine.
Thanks,

Tested the ping and its working.
This PC was already working for 2 month now.
Weird very weird it decided to work now, we don’t know what happened.
But it would be good to know if it’s on our side(meaning network) or from deadline.
