I had the same issue a couple of weeks ago. I submitted a report to support@communitysite.ibm.com to get assistance. But, I really needed to respond quickly, so I used email, to reply to "group" instead. That worked, then after that successful post, I did not have any issues anymore posting to the forum .
I suggest that you clear cache and restart browser. I at-mentioned you in the forum regarding this topic. You should be able to do a simple ACK response through email "reply to group" . If so, then you can test a new post to the community. If this still fails, send a note to support@communitysite.ibm.com . They are quite responsive, and should be able to help. Just let them know that you did clear cache, restart, etc so they won't ask that you try that.

Hello @Jan Harris !
I was exactly trying to do this on another topic ( https://community.ibm.com/community/user/power/discussion/google-authenticator-libpam-is-now-available-on-aix-toolbox ) but only get:
"Access Denied
You don't have permission to access "http://community.ibm.com/higherlogic/ui/mvc/egroups/discussions/SaveDiscussionDraft" on this server.
Reference #18.224e1202.1730107256.25036b
https://errors.edgesuite.net/18.224e1202.1730107256.25036b"
all the time? How can I report my bug to Sangamesh? Are there different permissions needed than here?
Thanks,
With kind regards,

Hello Jan,
Thank you for your work on this. I was able to install the needed software on 4 out of 5, 7.3 LPARs after experiencing this issue yesterday. However, on one of them, ever since the error yesterday, when I run dnf <anything>, or just dnf with no arguments, I simply get the command prompt returned. No error, no output, nothing. Ideas?
Thanks,
Rik

Thanks for your hard work, Reshma!!! It is working now!
IMPORTANT reiteration to all readers - RUN dnf clean all first :-)

Hello,
The repodata issue is resolved now.
Please run "dnf clean all" before dnf install/update.

Hello @Jan Harris !
To make sure this issue is found -> I´m having the same problem on AIX 7.2 , so the title is misleading, can this be changed?
]
Thanks for the information regarding the reloading!
With kind regards,
Steve

Andrea,
Hi, we've starting seeing this error too (we're running AIX 7.3.2.1).
# dnf -v list dnfLoaded plugins: changelog, config-manager, debug, generate_completion_cache, repoclosure, repodiff, repograph, repomanage, reposync, versionlockDNF version: 4.2.17cachedir: /var/cache/dnfos-release file not foundos-release: falling back to basic User-Agent: missing NAME or VERSION_IDAIX generic repository 2.8 kB/s | 2.3 kB 00:00reviving: 'AIX_Toolbox' can be revived - repomd matches.loading repo 'AIX_Toolbox' failure: repo_add_repomdxml/rpmmd() has failed.Error: Loading repository 'AIX_Toolbox' has failed#
If I add skip_if_unavailable=true to dnf.config.
[AIX_Toolbox]name=AIX generic repositorybaseurl=https://anonymous:anonymous@public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/enabled=1gpgcheck=0skip_if_unavailable=true
I can then re-run and get the following which allows the remaining repos to download however the issue still exists!!
# dnf list dnfAIX generic repository 4.2 MB/s | 20 MB 00:04Error: Loading repository 'AIX_Toolbox' has failedAIX noarch repository 2.2 MB/s | 3.4 MB 00:01AIX 7.2 specific repository 1.2 MB/s | 1.3 MB 00:01AIX 7.3 specific repository 503 kB/s | 410 kB 00:00Ignoring repositories: AIX_ToolboxInstalled Packagesdnf.ppc 4.2.17-64_53 @AIX_Toolbox_73#
So, currently, I'm really no further forward in resolving the base issue :-(
I did notice that the ../ppc directory was last updated 18-Oct-2024 10:02 which I'm sure is a "red herring" however I mention it for completeness.
Thanks, Steve

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to install some packages with dnf on 2 different AIX 7.3 (7300-02-01-2346).
I've alredy installed all dnf environment in september and it was working untill some months ago. I was able to install packages without problem.
Only to add more infos, when I've installed the environment whith the script I choose to install only dnf without yum.
Now, I'm trying to make an dnf update it says me: "Error: Loading repository 'AIX_Toolbox' has failed", even with dnf install xxx I've the same issue.
So, I tryed to investigate in config files and I found /opt/freeware/etc/dnf/dnf.conf, in this file there is the link of repo that is anonymous@public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc.">https://anonymous:anonymous@public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc.
I tryed a ping and I see that my 2 partions solve ip address correctly and I tried a wget to the repo link (for example wget https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/rsync/rsync-3.3.0-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm) and it works fine so I don't think that is a network issue.
I've also checked logs and I saw "2024-08-26T20:02:09Z DEBUG loading repo 'AIX_Toolbox' failure: repo_add_repomdxml/rpmmd() has failed".
Any idea?
Thanks a lot and have a nice day
