Telnet Service

Just finished install of server and client (7.5x2) on my laptop and cannot start Datastage Telnet Servive when I go to "Ascental" services in the Control Panel..

Event viewer msg is ... The DataStage Telnet Service service depends on the DataStage Engine Resource Service service which failed to start because of the following error:
The system cannot find the path specified.

Does anyone know where I should start to debug this ??

Check in your control panel applet for Ascential DataStage to see if all the services are running.

I did , that's when I noticed the problem (when I tried to manually start from the control panel).

This one usually means that there's already some other (telnet?) service holding port number 23. For example it might be the MKS Toolkit's telnet listener.

However, in your case, the message also reveals that the DataStage Resource Service is not starting. This is the problem that you must solve first. Try re-booting the machine via a complete power-off state, so that any ports are cleared. If the DataStage Resource service still won't start (check in Control Panel or Task Manager) you have some kind of installation problem.

I rebooted and now the problem has gone away.. DS telnet servce starts fine (the old microsoft "if it don't work reboot" saga). Thanks for your response ... Perry
