Failed to start DECT JVM service running on Windows 2000

thread798-1501103

It seems simple enough to start the service, but in our case, it just wont successfully start the service.

How can you start the DECT JVM if its stopped? There is a "Start" button; the moment it tries to start, the progress mark will quit half way.

I did a search for DECT JVM and came up with the following below.

Workaround:

Configuring a Windows 2000 server to allow OTM client access without user logged in.

By default, OTM applications are configured to run in interactive mode; that is, a Windows user (with administrative privileges) must be logged into the Server PC for OTM applications to run on the clients (this include both PC and Web clients).

The following configuration change is recommended for a Windows 2000 Server to allow OTM client access without the administrative user logged in to the Server at all times:

On the Windows 2000 Server:

1. Go to Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Component Services .

2. From Component Services window, expand Computers -> My Computer -> COM+ Applications.

3. Select OTM Application and open the Properties window.

4. Select the Identity tab and click on the 'This User' radio button.

5. Enter the local administrator account and password.

6. Click OK.

The above workaround works fine for all applications except DECT. To allow DECT to operate in non-interactive mode, use the following workaround:

1. Create a new service DECT-JVM using command line tool INSTSRV.
a. INSTSRV DECT-JVM 'c:\Nortel\Common Services\Program Files\srvany.exe'.
b. Open Control Panel -> Services -> select DECT-JVM -> Properties. Specify Startup type as automatic.

Note: Proceed with proper drive name if OTM is not installed in C:\.

2. Remove Dect server launching from OTMWatchDog services.
a. Run Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) and locate the following subkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NORMAT\SMP\OTMServices and remove the key 'DECT'.

3. Create REGISTRY entry for srvany.exe parameters.
a. Run Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) and locate the following subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DECT-JVM
b. From the Edit menu, click Add Key.
Key Name: Parameters
Class : <leave blank>
c. Select the Parameters key. From the Edit menu, click Add Value. Enter following keys and click OK.
Value Name: Application
Data Type : REG_SZ
String : 'C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1_02\bin\java.exe'
Value Name: AppParameters
Data Type: REG_SZ
String: '-Xrs com.nortelnetworks.otmP.dectP.systemP.serverP.MiddleTierC'

4. Set Classpath and Library path environment variable.
a. Right-click on My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced tab - Open environmental variables
b. Add 'C:\Nortel\M1\Dect\Program Files;C:\Program Files\Common Files\system\ado;C:\Nortel\Common Services\Program Files' to Path
c. Add 'C:\Nortel\OMServices\OMDect\Classes;C:\Nortel\OMServices\OMDect\Classes\comm.jar' to CLASSPATH.

Note: Reboot the PC after changing the environment variables.

All the best

Thanks for the reply, i did came across to this thread, i forgot to include couple of details:
[ul]
[li]OS i am using is Windows 2000 Professional[/li]
[li]i have no issue accessing TM applications on the TM server including DECT[/li]
[li]i can access tm apps on a web browser with the exception of DECT[/li]
[/ul]

Correct me if wrong, the thread you mentioned is a work around for failing to access the TM apps without Administrative privilege.

My main issue is how to access the DECT app using a web browser; from the System Status window, DECT-JVM is displayed as Stopped instead of Started; if i manually start the service, it quits half way along the process...
