Hello

I just installed RI, but for some reason am unable to get the content manager started.

The CM and DW databases are installed, and running, in another system, and everything else is running locally.

The first thing i see when i start up http://localhost:9080/insight/servlet/, is this errormessage:

CM-REQ-4342 An error occurred with the client.



CM-REQ-5004 Content Manager is not running.

I have followed this guide http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/rentrpt/v1r0m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.rational.raer.install.doc/topics/t_postreq_reportalserver_db2isdw_repservISwas.html
down to the step "Installing the report server enterprise archive (EAR) file" to setup my CM, but i still get the message above.

When i startup IBM Cognos Configuration, and test my CM connection, everything seems to work:

What am i doing wrong?

Sure, this is what is in the logs when i start up the server, i inserted linebreaks between log entries so it's a bit easier to read:

This is the content of my pogo log, it seems the entries down below gets repeated every few minutes:

2011-03-05 00:12:45.953 DEBUG [contentmanager.coordinator.ActiveCMControl] Thread-70: Sending elect() command to CM

2011-03-05 00:12:45.984 DEBUG [contentmanager.coordinator.ActiveCMControl] Thread-71: Sending elect() command to CM 

Hmm, it seems some of the tables in the content manager database are missing, i only have around 89, but need 119, after rerunning the install script for the database, everything worked as expected.

Thank you for the help!
