"Waiting for initial configuration to be run by node" while running the Bootstrap on the Central node

[Rakesh_HB]

Unable to access both Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows QMC and hub. Web browser access fails with the error This site can't be reached.

Running Bootstrap on the Central node only shows Waiting for initial configuration to be run by node.

Resolution

Check if the file host.cfg exists in C:\Programdata\Qlik\Sense\

If the file is present, check if the file content decrypts to the correct Qlik Sense machine name by using, for example, https://www.base64encode.org/.

If no file exists, please create one named host.cfg and generate the Base64 content for the Rim node name via the site https://www.base64encode.org/.

Once the file is in place:

1. Stop all Qlik services 
2. Start the Qlik Sense Service Dispatcher Service 
   This service needs to run for the next steps to be successful. 
3. Open a Commandline prompt (Run > cmd) with administrative permissions (Right-Click > Run As Administrator)
4. Change to cd C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\Repository
5. Type and run Repository.exe" -bootstrap -iscentral -restorehostname 
6. Wait for the line Bootstrap mode has terminated. Press ENTER to exit..
7. Press ENTER and open the Windows services snap-in (Start > Run > services.msc)
8. Start up all services and check if you are able to access Qlik Sense HUB and QMC
