Examples and How To

Verify Server Status

Verify that the server is started

Diagnose a Server Instance

To diagnose a problem with a server instance or configuration of MATLAB Production Server, do the following, as needed:

Diagnose a Corrupted MATLAB Runtime

This example shows a typical diagnostic procedure you might follow to solve a problem starting server prod_server_x.

Manage Log Files

Use these recommendations as a guide when defining values for the options listed in Log Retention and Archive Settings.

Concepts

Server Diagnostic Tools

Each server writes a log file containing data from both the main server process, as well as the workers, named server_name/log/main.log.

Common Error Messages and Resolutions

Commonly caused by requesting a component that is not deployed on the server, or trying to call a function that is not exported by the given component.
