Troubleshooting Errors
Review the information for how to use the tracing and logging parameters in the e3config.xml file, as well as other tracing and logging tips. If you're troubleshooting Arbortext PE sub-process startup problems, you can check the transaction archive.
When you're troubleshooting Arbortext Publishing Engine, you may decide to run Arbortext Publishing Engine Interactive. If you created a specific user account for Arbortext Publishing Engine, be sure to log on the system with that user account name to better simulate its environment.
Be sure to check all log and temporary directory folders used by the servlet container and the Arbortext PE server. Some of these may be explicitly set in the e3config.xml file. Check that the paths specified there exist on the system.
The Tomcat log files in TOMCAT_HOME\logs contains log messages written by the Arbortext PE Request Manager. The pelog.xml file contains log4j messages that can be used for troubleshooting.

By default, the Tomcat Windows service is named Tomcatn, where n is the major release number of Tomcat. If the Tomcat service has a different name, Arbortext Publishing Engine Configuration can't start and stop the service.
If the Tomcat Windows service won’t start, it’s possible that it can’t find msvcr71.dll. Try updating the Windows PATH environment variable to add the JRE bin directory, for example:
C:\Program files\Java\jre1.8.0\bin;
