Description:
===========
TRA domain utility failed to discover the Administrator domain.

Causes:
======
The DomainUtility and the Administrator exchange protocol messages using RV as a transport in this case. Discovering the domain will fail if:

1). RV transports misconfigured.
2)  RVRD are misconfigured.
3). Network problem.
4). DomainUtiliti and Administrator are not on the same subnet, but RVRDs were not configured.


Resolution:
=========

For cause 1, verify the RV transport configuration of DomainUtility under the section of "TIBCO Rendezvous parameters for TIBCO Administrator". One common mistake is to use ";" as the "RV network". In this way the DomainUtility picks up the default network interface which might not be your physical network, such as the loopback or VM virtual network interface.  It is better to specify it explicitly using the IP address of your physical network interface, for example "10.97.49.113;" or "10.97.49.0;".

For cause 2, verify the RVRD has the necessary subject gating added including "com.tibco.repo.>";

Verify on the Administrator side RV daemon the following subjects are subscribed. Otherwise, it would suggest the Administrator did not start up successfully.

      com.tibco.repo.repo_server_name.repo_instance.>
      com.tibco.repo_instance_discovery.request
      com.tibco.repo.server_discovery.request
      com.tibco.repo.serverHeartbeat.>
      com.tibco.repo_instance_mgmt.repo_server_name.request

Verify the logs of both sides RVRDs that the above subscriptions are successfully forwarded.  The log entries would be as the follows:

2012-06-14 16:40:35 rvrd: [Router7621]: Received subscription for [com.tibco.repo.instance_discovery.request] from 0A61317B/local7521 for source 0A61317B/local7521.
2012-06-14 16:40:35 rvrd: [Router7621]: Received subscription for [com.tibco.repo.instance_mgmt.frankFile.request] from 0A61317B/local7521 for source 0A61317B/local7521.
2012-06-14    6:40:35 rvrd: [Router7621]: Received subscription for [com.tibco.repo.server_discovery.request] from 0A61317B/local7521 for source 0A61317B/local7521.

For cause 4, use RVRD since TIBCO Administrator and the TRA DomainUtility run on different subnets.
