SAS9.4M8 With Windows Server 2019 Configuration Error in Object Spawner

[eddieleung305]

May I know if anyone can share in a new SAS9.4M8 installation on Windows Server 2019, any special tips and tricks can share? I encounter this error in configuring Object Spawner where this error I haven't encountered before. There is no problem resolving the server hostname to the correct IP so I have no idea why the Object Spawner cannot start

Looks like some type of Java-related problem. I'd suggest opening a track with Tech Support if you haven't yet done so as they are in the best position to investigate further.

Check the object spawner logs at D:\DevMetadata\Lev1\ObjectSpawner\Logs for more clues.

This is the main section of the error message. My server is a single-tier server and is configured with metadata and an object spawner. No issue found to resolve the hostname

Looks like it's saying there are no servers defined for the object spawner, so it has no reason to run. For example in Metadata the Object Spawner is defined for host A but no servers like a workspace server associated with that Object Spawner are also associated with host A (or there are no servers associated with the object spawner at all).
