Solution
  O4 p% }/ V- N$ O+ ZTAO would report cannot start tcserver.
TC_ROOT and TC_DATA had space in the directory name.
( P# A- e9 {1 k) V+ _" d! b% p' d4 C5 \" @portal.bat would not call start_TcServer1.bat via the tcserver.xml
% x8 s% C: c. s. a7 C5 G4 ]* z0 XEdited the tcserver.xml and noted the TC_ROOT with short path name (DOS 8.3 syntax)
7 N3 }# [: n1 q8 `! X/ ?replacing the folder name with space.
Example:
C:\PROGRA~1\TC_ROOT & C:\PROGRA~1\TC_DATA
Lauch portal.bat, now tcsever is started and able to login.
It is highly recommend that TC full installation directory has no space, including NX and
, f1 v5 q# M0 Kany other related softwares.
For example
6 C5 b  F3 H& Y: t% t( HTC_ROOT = c:\apps\X64\TC\TC11
TC_DATA = c:\apps\x64\TC\tcdata
X64 means 64bit TC software, while for 32 bit, please use X86
