Hi,
I have installed web focus 7.1.7 on Windows XP.

When I run the web focus exe, the local reporting server does not start automatically.
The developer studio screen comes up.
If I run the html file on reporting server, it comes up with message " EDA server not found"

Why is the local reporting server not starting when I start developer studio?

Thanks
Kar

Hi,

Look at DevStudio options:
'Start local WebFOCUS Server'
'Start local Web Server'
'Stop local WebFOCUS Server on exit'
'Stop local Web Server on exit'

And, if the above seems to be set ok, then you should see a new a new DOS command window opened up when DevStudio starts. This is used to start the server in. If there is any error when starting the server, it will be contained in this new command window.
One of the problem may be that you, under your own name, are not allowed to start the server. This happens often in shops where DevStudio is installed from a central (scripted) install.
The way to remedy that is to edit the admin.cfg file in the profiles directory under the ibi install dir. It usually contains only one entry:
admin_id = Administrator
BEGIN
  admin_level = SRV
END

Just copy this block and change Administrator to your own logonid.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I have checked the options to start the local web server.
I have also added the windows login id to admn.cfg.

The local reporting server still does not start.
The small DOS window does not start in the background while the developer studio screen comes on.

Any other help/ clues will be appreciated.

Regards

kat

Hi Kar,

Have you tried to start local reporting server by hand?
"Start with alternative security modes".

Try them, if it's not possible - look in odin.cfg.

(Or post it here)

Regards,
Alex

everything looks right, Dev Studio GUI starts up without a problem. The reporting Server can be started manually.

Kar, the ID you used to install Dev Studio, is that the same ID you're using now to start Dev Studio?
