Starting the Server from the Services Applet in Windows


This procedure requires your Windows NT or Windows 2000 user ID to be a member of the Windows Administrators group on the local machine in which the Siebel Analytics Server is installed.

To start Siebel Analytics Server

  1. On the machine in which the server is installed, select Start > Settings > Control Panel.
  2. Open the Services applet by double-clicking the Services icon in the Control Panel.
  3. Select the Siebel Analytics Server service and click Start.
  4. A message appears indicating that the service is starting. It might take a few minutes for the server to start because it loads all repositories listed in the Repositories section of the NQSConfig.INI file during the startup operation.

    When startup is complete, the startup message goes away and the status of the service in the Services applet changes to Started. The following information is logged to the NQServer.log file, located in the Log subdirectory of the Siebel Analytics installation folder: startup time, any business models that are loaded, and any errors that occurred.

    In the event that startup does not complete, check to make sure that there are no errors in the NQSConfig.INI file, such as the incorrect spelling of a repository filename. If you receive an informational message stating the server has not yet started, refresh the status periodically until the status changes to Started.
