Database Services Do Not Start Automatically

Problem: Data services do not start automatically, although previously they did.

Explanation: This can happen if the database log path was changed without using dblog.

Solution: If this is the case, you must supply the correct database log path every time you restart a data service. To avoid having to supply this information repeatedly, use the dblog utility to set the correct file name and path. See Using a Different Database Log Path in System Administration for instructions. You can also see the corresponding database server log file for information (see the Log File Locations topic for the log file location).
