MATLAB: Do I receive “Error:Could not start the daemon” while configuring Polyspace Server Remote Verification

Question

I receive the below error when starting the Polyspace Daemon on the Polyspace Server :

Error:Could not start the daemon

The log file has the below :

The cause of the problem is:

============================================================================

Unknown host: Hostname

============================================================================

Error: Cannot start Polyspace Job Manager

Answer 1

This error can occur if the host name cannot be automatically resolved.

As a workaround, navigate to the mdce_def file in the location : $MATLAB\R2018a\toolbox\distcomp\bin (where $ is the location where MATLAB is installed).

Manually override the HOSTNAME by specifying the Polyspace Server Hostname in the line that has set HOSTNAME=%strHostname%.%strDomain%.

Note : Please follow the instructions in the mdce_def file to comment out the lines that are not required.
