Description

TDV Deployment Manager requires bidirectional communication between source and target environments to perform critical operations such as:

  • SSL handshakes

  • Deployment session management

  • Remote metadata access

  • Certificate path validation

These processes involve both environments initiating and responding to secure connections over designated ports (such as TCP 19400). If network communication is restricted in one direction—for example, if only Prod ➝ Dev is allowed but Dev ➝ Prod is blocked—deployment operations will fail.

In such cases, you may encounter errors like:

 
com.compositesw.client.CaRuntimeException: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Or:

Deployer - A system exception has occurred. No route to host [script-1900011]

 

Environment

 All supported versions

Resolution

To avoid these issues, ensure that both environments can communicate with each other over all required ports. One-way access is not sufficient for Deployment Manager to function correctly.

Issue/Introduction

This KB explains why bidirectional communication is required between environments (e.g., Dev and Prod) when using TIBCO Data Virtualization Deployment Manager.
