DevTest 10.4 onwards Server Components not getting started automatically on server restart

Products

• CA Cloud Test Mobile
• CA Application Test

Issue/Introduction

Facing this strange issue in DevTest  versions. When any server restart happens the DevTest registry component is not coming up automatically although the StartupType: Automatic

Environment

Release : 10.6 and up

Component : CA Service Virtualization

Cause

Based on investigation SE team has found that IAM takes longer to start completely before Registry process. To be able to handle this situation in "Automatic" startup setup, the changes have to be done at installer(install Shield) level. This change can only be corrected/released as part of next GA release and cannot be provided as a patch fix.

Resolution

The best workaround till then is to set the startup type to "Automatic (Delayed Start)"  for the below services and restart the machine.

DevTest Registry,

DevTest VSE,

DevTest Coordinator

DevTest Simulator
