Errors During Startup 

Use

If an instance crashes or cannot be started up, it is highlighted in red in the system monitor. In the control panel, the Services and Status columns remain empty or the entries are deleted.

Procedure

To analyze the error:

  1. Select the instance.
  2. Display the start log file (choose Logs/Traces/Info or Trace files).

Error messages and a return code that indicate why the system could not be started can be found in the start log and in the dispatcher and work process trace files.
