I get a "retries exceeded" error when trying to connect to my server via the TEXTML Administration perspective

The TEXTML service is not running or needs to be configured correctly.

Description

When attempting to connect to my server via the TEXTML Administration perspective, a retries exceeded error appears.

Solution

There are two possible reasons for this error:
Issue Action
The TEXTML service on the server is not running. Verify in the Services that the entry for TEXTML is started.
The TextmlServerCfg.xml file is not configured properly.
  1. Edit the C:\ProgramData\IxiaSoft\TextmlServer[version]\TextmlServerCfg.xml file.
  2. Make sure that the server is fully qualified in the endpoint section. For example:
    <!-- Defines the port where the server listens for requests -->
    <!-- uses the CORBA IIOP element syntax. i.e.: iiop://hostname-or-ip:portno -->
    <Endpoint>iiop://172.20.30.89:2500,127.0.0.1:2500</Endpoint>

    In this example, 172.20.30.89 should be replaced by the IP address of the TEXTML server, 127.0.0.1 is the loop back IP and should remain as is, and 2500 is the listening port of the server.
