    Hi, 

    My first attempt to use SOA with HPC2012 R2 is not off to a great start... 8-( 

    The test code is very simple: 

    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using Microsoft.Hpc.Scheduler.Session ; 
    using Microsoft.Hpc.Scheduler.Properties ;
    using System.ServiceModel; 

    namespace ConsoleTest
    {
        class Program
        {
            static void Main(string[] args)
            {
                const string scheduler = "headnode hostname";
                const string service = "EchoService";

                SessionStartInfo info = new SessionStartInfo(scheduler, service);

                Session session = Session.CreateSession(info);
                Console.WriteLine("Connected to {0}", session.EndpointReference.ToString()); 
            }
        }
    }

    Compiles fine, throws this exception in CreateSession: 


    An unhandled exception of type 'Microsoft.Hpc.Scheduler.Session.SessionException' occurred in Microsoft.Hpc.Scheduler.Session.dll

    Additional information: Cannot find a broker node in the cluster that meets the session's requirements. Please check the documentation on how to configure a broker node. If you are using failover broker nodes and creating a DurableSession, please be sure one or more failover broker nodes are online

    The head node is up, it's configured as a wcf broker node, it's running in that role, I can connect to it and submit regular non-SOA jobs, etc, etc. What are those "session's requirements" which are not being met? How can I find out more about what it's complaining about? 

    Thanks

    Damian

    Hi, 

    This is no longer an issue, after digging through some exceptions I found a clue to the problem... 

    The scheduler was replying to the client by saying "here, connect to THIS wcf broker node". Unfortunately the THIS was not a fully qualified domain name, just the machine name.. Since the client was in a different domain, dns lookup failed... 

    Would have been nice if the default exception message said that, haha... The above exception msg was useless... 

    As soon as I added that machine to my hosts file, it started to work fine... 

    Thanks

    Ohh, I wrapped that in a try/catch, and the exception message was basically the same thing as above, so didn't provide any more info/data... 

    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using Microsoft.Hpc.Scheduler.Session ; 
    using Microsoft.Hpc.Scheduler.Properties ;
    using System.ServiceModel; 

    namespace ConsoleTest
    {
        class Program
        {
            static void Main(string[] args)
            {
                const string scheduler = "host name";
                const string service = "EchoService";

                SessionStartInfo info = new SessionStartInfo(scheduler, service);

                try
                {
                    Session session = Session.CreateSession(info);
                    Console.WriteLine("Connected to {0}", session.EndpointReference.ToString()); 
                }
                catch (Exception e)
                {
                    string msg = e.Message;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    Hi, DamianRK,

    You have update "scheduler" to your real hpc cluster name, right?

    const string scheduler = "host name";

    And can you check the broker node (head node) state, and whether it is already online

    Changed the WCF service to just run as local system account instead of specifying it in the service panel.
