Unable to launch default CLM 6.0
Hi Team
I have downloaded CLM 6.0 from jazz.net and installed it on Windows 7 (64 bit).
The setup is on defaults to evaluate the new release.
Derby database, tomcat7.
After installing the server, when I run the start jazz team server, the command line windows pops for a second and then dissappears.
Have tried running it using 'Run as Administrator' which gave same results.
I also tried running the startup batch file found in IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\tomcat\bin; this kept the command prompt alive but did not give me the start server seconds:
Please let me know if I am missing anything here.

Most Probable Cause:
JazzTeamServer is installed under C:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer and for some reason, it cannot load class under a path with space in it. Hence "Files/IBM/JazzTeamServer/server/conf" appears in the error.
Since that class cannot be loaded, JTS quits.
Test the probable cause:
Reinstall to a directory with no space, such as c:\ibm\JazzTeamServer
Think beyond the fix:
It is recommended to install CLM in a non-virtual directory: any directory that is outside C:\program files or C:\program files (x86)

It's possible that your machine does not have enough memory to support the default 4GB JVM heap size. To verify this, follow the steps below.
1. Open a command prompt (elevated if necessary).
2. Run the command IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\server.startup.bat
3. Observe any errors reported there.
If it's indeed due to the shortage of memory, you can decrease the heap size by modifying the server.startup.bat file, changing the "-Xmx4G" and "-Xms4G" to "-Xmx3G" and "-Xms3G" or even "-Xmx2G" and "-Xms2G" if you are desperate. Do expect slow performance and/or OutOfMemory issues though. Ultimately you should increase the physical memory of the machine.
The server.startup.bat script is the correct way to start up the Jazz server, not the startup.bat found in Tomcat, as it sets up quite many environment variables and Java options for the Jazz server to run properly.
If you see other errors in the command prompt, please report here.

I see the below response:
D:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server>server.startup.bat
Using CATALINA_BASE: "D:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\tomcat"
Using CATALINA_HOME: "D:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\tomcat"
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: "D:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\tomcat\temp"
Using JRE_HOME: "D:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\jre"
Using CLASSPATH: "D:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\tomcat\bin\bo
otstrap.jar;D:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\tomcat\bin\tomcat-juli.ja
r"
That is normal. Then you need to have a look at the \server\tomcat\logs\catalina.log and \server\logs\jts.log.
The error message in the tomcat console must be about failure to connect to the IBM online help. You can ignore this error.
When you scroll up the console messages, you will see ' server startup xxxx ms', it mean the Jazz Team Server (tomcat) starts up.
Can you test to access https://localhost:9443/jts/setup in a browser?
To see "INFO: Server startup in xxx ms" message without scrolling up the console, please check the latest Catalina log under <JTS-Home>\server\tomcat\logs.
The Catalina log file names look like catalina.yyyy-mm-dd.log. (yyyy-mm-dd is the date when you start JTS server).
Please also run the following command to see the status of port 9443:
netstat -ano | findstr 9443
Make sure it exists and in LISTENING state.
Hi All
Thank you for the response.
As starting the server using server.startup batch file is the correct way, I using this method.
When I run this batch file, the reported issue occurs. The command window pops up and vanishes in a second.
Is there any logs that I can share?
I searched under the logs folder in \IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\tomcat\logs and found localhost and catalina txt.
The contents are:

The output in the catalina log shows the only about stopping the tomcat server.
Can you collect fresh logs for us?
1. Reboot the windows machine.
2. Delete all logs under server/tomcat/logs.
3. Start the Jazz Team Server.
4. Collect the new catalina and the new localhost log.
Donald is right that the root cause could be that you dont have enough JVM memory. By default CLM requires min JVM 4GB memory. If you have less memory, you will see the flash windows only. You can try to start the server process at below way so that more information can be captured in the logs(\server\tomcat\logs) as well as command prompt.
In <rtc install="">\server\tomcat\bin\starup.bat , change "start" to "run" in the following line near the end of the file:
"%EXECUTABLE%" start %CMD_LINE_ARGS% to "%EXECUTABLE%" run %CMD_LINE_ARGS%
Then run server.startup.bat.
From the further details, you may determine whether it is JVM related, or user not having enough rights for some installed directories and so on.

Hi Rajat,
One more tip - you may try running the tomcat using option - Run as an administrator.
@dnong
Hi
The machine has 8 GB of RAM.
I did open the command prompt and tried the suggested steps.
No errors recieved. Response was:
D:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server>server.startup.bat
Using CATALINA_BASE: "D:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\tomcat"
Using CATALINA_HOME: "D:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\tomcat"
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: "D:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\tomcat\temp"
Using JRE_HOME: "D:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\jre"
Using CLASSPATH: "D:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\tomcat\bin\bo
otstrap.jar;D:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\tomcat\bin\tomcat-juli.ja
r"
I also changed the startup.bat file from start to run and then ran the server.startup file.
This gave the same result. The command prompt came for a sec and vanished away.
I deleted the localhost and catalina files.
When I run the server.startup batch, no new catalina or localhost file is getting created.

It seems even the tomcat catalina startup won't be started because no catalina.log.
Can you try to open the command prompt as admistrator then run server.startup.bat?
or Can you test/install the CLM 6.0 under D:\IBM instead of D:\Program Files\IBM? (to see if you have too restrict permission under D:\Program Files.)
Here is what I got:
Finally, you got the exception what I wanted to see for investigation.
Hi Rajat, please see the comment from Howard. Can you test/install under D:\IBM...?

@hhsiao Yes that solved the issue!!
I reinstalled it in directory d:\ibm\jazzteamserver (no spaces in the path) and it launched perfectly fine!!
Thank you all for the support.

JAZZ DEVELOPER Jul 03 '15, 4:07 a.m.Hi Rajat,
Have you checked if port 9443, 9080, 9009 have been in LISTENING state prior to you start the server?
If port 9443, 9080, 9009 are in LISTENING state prior to you start the server, you might want to kill that process that listens to port 9443, 9080, 9009 and then start the server again.
