Hi

I have a problem with errors in my application logs. WHen I look at my MDS log file I am seeing the following error

General Error connecting to the database.@jdbc

This coincides with errors in my application log

Event Type: Error
Event Source: MDS_BES1
Event Category: None
Event ID: 15000
Date: 17/02/2005
Time: 01:53:42
User: N/A
Computer: UKPBTCBESSR01
Description:
<2005-02-17 01:53:42 GMT>:[351]:<MDS_BES1>:<ERROR>:<LAYER = SCM, EVENT = General Error connecting to the database.@jdbc:odbc:BESMgmt>

I have checked the BESMgmt ODBC source and the tests complete successfully

My software spec is
Windows 2000 SP3
BES manager 3.6.2.14

Can anyone help

Assuming you do have a BESMgmt database then your ODBC connection is not configured correctly.

Go to Data Sources (ODBC) in Administrative Tools. From the BESMgmt driver in System DSN ensure that the SQL Server Name, Database name and authentication method are correct.

This worked for me. Someone had rebuilt a server and entered the incorrect name of the server. Changed in the BES Management console but not under ODBC settings.

Cheers 4 that one.

You're using BES 3.6 SP2 with local MSDE 2000a?

i am using bes 4.1.
where can i see if i am using local msde 2000a?

thank,

[hdawg]

if you did the default install you have msde 2000a

from a command prompt you can type:
osql -E
select @@version
go
quit

that'll give you the output of the version you have.

So what is your question / problem?
