Troubleshoot Server Start or Restart

If your Data Management Server fails to start or restart, you might need to resolve a server dependency. This dependency applies when the DataFlux Data Management Server is configured to use a SAS Metadata Server for authorization and authentication. The SAS Metadata Server needs to be fully operational before the Data Management Server can start. This server dependency exists because the DataFlux Data Management Server needs to retrieve several configuration option values from the SAS Metadata Server at start-up.
The server dependency occurs predominantly in single-machine installs, when all services start at one time.
You can resolve the server dependency as you see fit, or you can run the following command on the host of the DataFlux Data Management Server:
sc config "DMServer-service-name" 
      depends= "SASMetadata-service-name"
The service names are specified in the properties of the service. Do not use the displayed server names.
Use quotation marks as shown, use no blank space after depends, and use a blank space after =, as shown in the following example:
sc config "dfx-DMServer-server1" 
      depends= "SAS [Config-Lev1] SASMeta - Metadata Server"
