Had an issue just now trying to start an application server running on Windows 2008. Got error messages in SystemOut such as
CWXRS0024E: Failed to write out object:
CWRLS0008E: Recovery log is being marked as failed.
CWRLS0009E: Details of recovery log failure ... (Access is denied)
In addition I also experienced that the NodeAgent would not start without any obvious reason, but if I deleted all log files it started.
Turned out to be caused by me not having started the command window with the “Run as Administrator”-option. I was allowed to create files, therefore the nodeagent started, but not allowed to change existing files, therefore the nodeagent did not start until I had deleted them. The app servers did try to write to other files as well, therefore it did not do the trick for them just to delete their log files.
