We had a DAS crash. When I try to restart it, it says it is starting in Console mode. Evidently it thinks DAS is running but it is NOT! How do I get out of this?
I had a exactly the same problem a couple of weeks back. Everytime I started DAS it would start in console mode as it thought there was another DAS running.
DAS was running on Windows NT, I checked the processes running to see if DAS was running twice - it was not. I rebooted the DAS machine, again no luck. I tried setting the DAS which was starting in console mode to take over as the primary DAS if the other one failed. Again, no luck.
The only way I managed to resolve the problem was to delete the DAS and re-create it. In supervisor on the Group Properties I changed it to No Agent and pressed OK. I then went back in and recreated a new DAS with the same name and password as the original one. It then worked again without any problems.
Ginny.

Go into the console/options menu. Select the Console Mode tab and highlight “Authorize this application to become primary Document Agent Server” button. Change the parameters to test console mode every “1” time the Document Agent Server is executed and select the “notify me if the current state changes from secondary to primary” check box.
execute the following SQL wherever the repository tables are stored (flceprod):
update
obj_m_timestamp
set
m_tms_n_begintime = m_tms_n_endtime
where
m_tms_n_entitytype = 2
Now you have to wait until Document Agent in secondary mode changes to primary mode, maybe up to a 1/2 hour.
I have had DAS crash several times. Before I restart it, I shut down teh DAS completely. Then, I re-start it and don’t have any problems. It appears that there is some kind of connections that aren’t closed until the machine shuts down.
