Summary:
This article describes how to reset the Naming Service for IME on Solaris. The Naming Service is the IME process which all other IME processes use to find each other and establish communication via Corba. The Naming Service is a standard Corba component.

Whenever an IME process starts, it will register itself with the Naming Service so other processes can find it and communicate.

Resetting the Naming Service removes all IME process entries. Normally, one would not reset the IME Naming Service unless an IME process was being removed from the environment or being distributed to a different machine. For example, if multiple IME Gateways (web servers) were running, and one was being removed from the configuration, resetting the Naming Service would remove the stale entry for the Gateway no longer in service.

Below are the steps to reset the Naming Service:

Resolution:
Shutdown the IME Server

Kill the Booter:
ps -ef | grep -i ime
kill -9

Confirm that no IME processes are running:
ps -ef | grep -i ime

Kill the omniNames:
ps -ef | grep -i omni
kill -9

Run the script:
/server/scripts/reset-naming-service

Restart IME server
