When using the ‘tcman start’ or 'pasoe start' command to start the PASOE instance, no error messages are returned and no log files are created.
When using OE Explorer (OEE) / OE Management (OEM) to start the PASOE instance, one of the following will happen:
Scenario 1
- The following error is returned within OEE / OEM:
Start operation has timed out for PAS instance : oepas1 , Does not get response from pas server in specified timeout 180 secs.
Scenario 2
- The following error is returned within OEE / OEM:
Failed to start Progress Application Server instance oepas1: Exception parsing the response: Unrecognized token ''Exception'': was expecting (JSON String, Number, Array, Object or token ''null'', ''true'' or ''false'')
