Starting the Server from Windows Services

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

To start the Analytics Server (Siebel Analytics Server service)

1. On the machine in which the server is installed, choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Services.

   You might need to open the Administrative Tools submenu.

2. Select the Siebel Analytics Server service and click Start.

   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 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
   • Any errors that occurred

     If 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.
