CTREE server attempting to start on wrong node.   Receive error:  Unable to connect to CTREE server.

Description:
CTREE server attempting to start on wrong node.
Recieve error message:
  Unable to connect to CTREE server at BULK_SERVER_ADDRESS.
  Waiting for C-Tree Server FAIRCOMS on host gst0ds.stavanger.geoquest.slb.com
   to come up 
  Eventually times out (180 secs).
 

Solution:
The following problem occurs when:
  -the CTREE server is running in LOCAL: mode and
   a BULK_SERVER_ADDRESS for the project is still recorded in the Oracle
   table due to an abnormal exit from GeoFrame.


  1.) In a GeoFrame xterm type:
         sqlplus projname/projpasswd

  2.) At the SQL prompt type:
         SQL> select BULK_SERVER_ADDRESS from project;
	      (will return a value like LOCAL:servername@hostname)

         SQL> update project set BULK_SERVER_ADDRESS = null;
         SQL> commit;
         SQL> select BULK_SERVER_ADDRESS from project; 
	      (now returns nothing)
         SQL> quit

  
Restart GeoFrame.
