Verity K2 services on Content Search Engine does not start automatically

Troubleshooting


Problem

Even though the Verity K2 service on the FileNet Content Engine Content Search Engine is set to start automatically, in some cases it does not start, and the logs show the error, The pipe state is invalid.

Symptom

The Verify K2 service did not start automatically upon startup of the Content Search Engine, and in the Event log, the following error is seen:

    Date: x/xx/2009, src: SCM
    Time: 10:17:53am, EventID: 7000
    The Verity K2 6.2.1 Administration Server service failed to start due
    to the following error:

    The pipe state is invalid.

The problem doesn't always occur, and when it does, the Verity K2 6.2.1 Administration Server service can be started from the Windows Service Manager GUI.
