Solution
TAO would report cannot start tcserver.
6 n/ \" W& c  N: f: o* YTC_ROOT and TC_DATA had space in the directory name.
portal.bat would not call start_TcServer1.bat via the tcserver.xml
Edited the tcserver.xml and noted the TC_ROOT with short path name (DOS 8.3 syntax)
7 `: V7 J. W  j6 j: {replacing the folder name with space.
Example:
C:\PROGRA~1\TC_ROOT & C:\PROGRA~1\TC_DATA
9 g2 J8 W9 x9 b% F. v! u' v* ILauch 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
