Resolving The Problem

Start the Planning Analytics Administration in open a Powershell window ("Run as Administrator") and execute the Start.ps1 script in the PAW installation folder.
  • In the PAW Admin Tool do a validation of the PAW settings
    Check if all settings are valid and the validation succeeded
    If the validation isn't successful check the entries one by one and verify that the configured PA server services are up and running.
  • As soon as the referred PA server services are started up, then do a re-validation on the PAW admin page.
  • If  the validation is successful, then try to connect to PAW in a browser now.
    A restart of PAW is normally not required.
  • If you still receive an error message, then restart PAW via the PAW admin page. Use the Restart button
    After a successful restart of PAW try to connect to PAW again.
