Troubleshoot Server Start

If the Data Management Server does not start, and if the server log file lists the failure dfwlpListenAttr_connattr(wlp), then a port might be in use by another application. By default, SOAP requests are handled on port 21036. WLP requests are handled on port 21037. If either of the default ports are being used by another application, then assign that process to an unused port.
If the server log does not indicate the source of the problem, then follow these steps if your server installed on Windows:
  1. Open the Windows Event Viewer.
  2. Select the Application event type.
  3. Click the Source column, to sort the events based on the type of source.
  4. Search the Source column for DataFluxDMS. Typically, two such events are logged for each time period. One message specifies the name of the log file, as shown in the following example:
    WARNING: Messages have been logged to
    the file named 'C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Application
    Data\SAS\LOGS\DFINTG~1.EXE.1854.21CBDA9C.log'
If your server is installed on UNIX or Linux, then errors will be written to the stdout location of the shell from which the DataFlux Data Management Server was started.
