This message might indicate an MLDAP error communicating with Directory Server.
Resolution:
Correct the file .mfdeploy, which is in the deployment directory (by default named deploy), to specify the server (or listener) name that will own the newly deployed services and packages. Alternatively, correct the named server (or listener) in the Directory Server directory using the Enterprise Server Administration console.
If this is an MLDAP error, contact Micro Focus support for assistance.
