Service starts and stops

I've just installed 9.4 on a 64 bit machine for testing purposes. When I start the service I get a message telling me the service started then stopped. I checked in the logs and found this in the tm1server.log

5304 ERROR 2008-10-30 11:10:20,186 TM1.Server Failure initializing Performance Monitor: 80070002
I've set PerformanceMonitorOn=F in the .cfg file put I still get the same error.

The data is from an existing 8.4.5 model so it's got to upgrade to unicode, but I'd have thought that should be straightforward?

Running the shipped-with Planning Sample is ok, so I guess it must be something to do with my cfg file or data set. But my cfg file is virtually the same as the working Planning Sample.

My cfg file:
tm1s.cfg wrote: [TM1S]
ServerLogging=F
SecurityPackageName=Kerberos
IntegratedSecurityMode=1
UseSSL=T
ServerName=running64bitInstall

There is a known bug with upgrading dimensions that were created in versions 6 and 7, but it doesn't look as if your system is getting that far.

Do you get the same messages if you start the system as an application?

(The bug is reported as fixed in 9.4 MR1 - which should be released towards the end of November.)

<swears at yet again completely useless TM1 "guides">
There is no syntax guide to the use of PerformanceMonitorOn in the 9.4 guides. I think it was F or T but can't be sure. How about removing all the } cubes and then starting the server to see if the flag is being kept by the model somewhere? If that starts, you should then be able to move the necessary } entries (security, attributes etc) in afterwards.

Somethings don't change, even with a new vendor!

The error message was misleading, it's nothing to do with Performance Monitor, it was the licence file. I copied the licence file from the Planning Manager DB and away it went.

It's still crashing during startup though. Will isolate that problem now, seems not to like some of my feeders.

As a side note, it's interesting that the licence ships with the install now.

And this also means that if you go through default install the planning sample db will start and run automatically as a service!

In the past, the sample database would be set up to run automatically as a service but fail to start due to the lack of a license key. This changed when they started to included a license key in the install (Feb 2008?).

By the way, just because 9.1 onwards comes with an unlimited 32 bit license key doesn't mean users no longer need a license!

i will add another issue/question to this thread :)
i have a tm1server where "deactivating chores" takes between 6 to +30 sec for all chores

if deactivating only takes 6 sec for all chores there is no problem .. but sometimes it's more, i think it depends on the tm1version of course .. i had a problem earlier with version u1 that the server did'nt restart (i used net stop, net start) because the service was already stopped but the process was running and deactivating the chores - so net start caused an error :lol:
i noticed what the problem was and added a 60s wait between stop and start.. (and another "backup" net start some hours later)

it's no problem but i'm interested in your experiences so.. How long takes deactivating chores on your tm1server? (on which version?
