Unable to start blueprint container for bundle pdi-dataservice-server-plugin due to unresolved dependencies

Question

I am using windows batch file to call a Pentaho Data integration job, intermittently, the job gets hung indefinitely.

The error message in Pentaho logs is as below :

06:43:37,951 ERROR [BlueprintContainerImpl] Unable to start blueprint container for bundle pdi-dataservice-server-plugin due to unresolved dependencies [(objectClass=org.pentaho.metaverse.api.ILineageClient)]

I am able to find some questions on similar lines, which suggest this to be a cache issue. Please help !

I think this question is not related to the batch-file tag in any way. I suggest you to remove such a tag... – Reneareneau

@Reneareneau - I have removed it, thanks for suggesting. – Coprolalia

Answer 1

You probably have to up the version of Kettle tool to 8.0.0

Here you can find the issue: https://jira.pentaho.com/browse/PDI-16368

Answer 2

unresolved dependencies [(objectClass=org.pentaho.metaverse.api.ILineageClient)]

This means the blueprint file has a mandatory reference to a service with interface org.pentaho.metaverse.api.ILineageClient. The service does not seem to come up and so blueprint gives up after a timeout.

You now need to find the bundle that provides this service and determine why it does not start correctly.

@christain, I have found a temporary solution as clearing the Karaf cache and then it works to be working better. Does that give any hint about the actual root cause ? – Coprolalia

Answer 3

When your bundle is starting, it can't find this interface org.pentaho.metaverse.api.ILineageClient. So it stays in Graceperiod State.

Because it works after clearing the cache, I recommend you to:

• 1: troubleshooting the bundle that expose this interface: use diag command from your karaf command-line to find why it can't start correctly. You can use also headers command to ckeck that this interface was exported

• 2: you can put this reference as optionnal in the consumer bundle like this:

  <reference id="give an id" interface="org.pentaho.metaverse.api.ILineageClient" availability="optional"> </reference>

• 3: verify the start level of your bundle: you can handle this using start-level="..." when installing bundles in your features.xml.

Answer 4

I solved the same problem by using "call". For example:

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Kettle"
call kitchen.bat -file:"C:\Elekta Projects\CE_Activities\MAIN.kjb" -level:Minimal

I add the call statement, and also delete the contents of : /pentaho-server/tomcat/temp
