It may take a couple of minutes to show "In Progress". You may refresh the page if it does not appear after 5-15 minutes (depending on how many application servers exist). If there are issues with the configuration such as wrong system connection parameters or invalid account, you may see the status as "Ready" which indicates that the system is not running. For further troubleshooting, click on the Log icon in the Tools next to the ASE servers. |
