Server Name not found on Servers' List

Hi,
I have an installation on SAP B1 8.8 on which the server and 3 of the four clients are operating normally. The fourth client (ran on Windows 7) is not showing the server name on the "Company Select" form. Instead of it it is showing only "(local)". As a result, of course, the list of companies shown below is empty. I tried to re-install but with no good.
Again, the other clients on the network are working fine.
Does anyone have faced similar situation?
Thanks
Gerasimos

hi Gerasimos,
Greetings of the day.
which windows 7? 64 bit or 32 bit?
first of all do a clean uninstall.
delete all SAP folder in c:\program files, c:\common files\business objects.
delete all SAP folders from application data coming under documents and settings for all users, administrators.
delete all temp files under c:\windows, documents and settings\ each user and\or administrators\local settings.
download msicuu2.exe from microsoft.com, install and run it, will clean registry if anything available.
install SAP B1.
then go to LAN adaptor settings, under network settings, under IPV4 and in adapter settings, specify the static IP address if any and in the default gateway specify the IP address of the server.
uncheck IPV6.
start SAP B1
it should work.
let me know.
thanks and regards.
Vijay M. Patil.

I have tried from so many forms. This is so frustrating. Thank for everyone/anyone who wants to help. So this is what happened: I had to uninstall my previous sqlserver 2012(which worked great) for some reason, and I uninstalled everything from that download.
Then I installed the trial edition of sql server 2012 (64 Bit) and It wouldn't connect to the database. (Error mentioned above.) My local DB is COWBOYS. (COWBOYS is also my computer name.) After this, I have tried downloading sqlexpress and sqlserver 64bit
many times and cannot connect to my local DB.
How do I connect to my Local DB?
Also, I think this might help: (When I run sqlserve.exe, which I was able to find in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, I get an error: Your SQL server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with(Error getting
instance ID from name). Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem.
I would happily re install it, if it wasn't my 20th time.
I don't have any remote connections, I don't use username/password, only window authentication. I work mostly on visual studio, but without able to store /retrieve data, I don't know how to survive.
May be the solution is very simple, but I am too frustrated.
Some of the things I have tried:
From a command prompt, enter one of the following commands:
net start "SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)" OR
net start "SQL Server Agent(instancename)"(for instance)
on my sql configuration, I cannot start anything because there is nothing there to start. I can post more details, if that would help. Also, some more details about the error:

Any one that can help me, I will be greatful. Thank you so much. p.s. please ask me anything if you have any questions.

It sounds like there are a couple things going on here. First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance. Once you find this, make sure the service is started.
If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error. If you get an error, post the error message your hitting. If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect. If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
name in the connection dialog. Ex: "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name. However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format. Ex: COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
is the instance name you set during install).
You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install. Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.

Did you add a System DSN or a User DSN? If you added a User DSN from your own login, the asp.net application will not be able to use it unless its application Pool in IIS is configured to run under the same credentials that you used for creating
the DSN. It's better if you add a System DSN.
Also, be careful to ensure that you are using a 64 bit DSN, unless you configure the application to run in 32 bits. If the 64 bit application attempts to use the 32 bit driver you get the same error message "Data source name not found and no default
driver specified". See this KB article:

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The
server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26- Error:Locating Server\instance Specified)
How Can i solve this?

1. Make sure SQL Server Service is running
2. If a named instance, make sure SQL Server browser service is running
3. Make sure SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections
4. Examine the SQL Server error log for messages confirming that SQL is listening on the expected network interfaces and ports
5. Test server connectivity with PING from the client machine
6. Test port connectivity using TELNET or PowerShell to the server and port (from step 4) from the client machine. For example
a. TELNET <server-name> 1433
b. PowerShell: 1433 | % { echo ((new-object Net.Sockets.TcpClient).Connect("YourServerName",$_)) "server listening on TCP port $_" }
7. Check firewall settings if step 5 or 6 connectivity test fails

Added server not listed in Server pool (not even on the list of servers)

Hello VM Gurus,
I'm playing with Oracle VM and I've encountered problem I can not solve of find existing solution.
I'm playing with Oracle VM version 2.1.5.
I have 3 psychical machines (let say A,B,C). On every machine I have installed WMWare workstation. I've created all together 5 VMWare virtual machines.
On Physical machine A I have 1 VMWare virtual machine named A1. This is used as Virtual Machine Server.
On Physical machine B I have 2 VMWare virtual machine named B1 and B2. B1 is used as Oracle VM Manager. B2 is used as Virtual Machine Server (also Server Pool Master and Utility Server)
On Physical machine C I have 2 VMWare virtual machine named C1 and C2. Both are used as Virtual Machine Serves.
1. I've Created Pool of servers (HA set up) and first added server B2.
2. After that I've added to pool A1 without any problems
3. After that I've added to pool C1 without any problems.
3. After that I've tried to add to pool C2. Process (wizard "Add server") finishes without any problems. But server does not appear on the list of servers in pool. It does not exist On a list of servers neither. If I try to add server again I got error OVS-2005 saying that this server is part of another Pool.
If I stop agent on C2 , delete folder /etc/ovs-agent/db and start agent, I can again add server, but results are same (it does not appear on list of servers. Another try to add server results in OVS-2005 error).
If done also this process:
1. I've stopped agent on C2, deleted folder /etc/ovs-agent/db and starte agent
2. I've removed C1 from pool
3. I've added C2 to pool without any problems
4. I've tried to add c1 to Pool. Same problems as in the past with C2 (not appearing on the list of servers).
I went though agent logs, VM manager logs. I ca not spot any problems. I've connected to database with SQL plus and there was no evidence of failed server there (so data is really not written to repository).
I run out of ideas. What could be wrong? where to look whyt is problem. How to diagnose problem. I believe that Oracle VM somehow treat this two VMWare servers as one, but I can not prove this.
Somebody else had this problem? Any hint what to diagnose further? I understand my configuration is a bit stupid, but I'm trying to get familiar with Oracle VM.
Any hint will be appreciated.
Regards
Darko

Or use one machine as the NFS server and Oracle VM Manager and the other two as Oracle VM Servers. Trying to run a Type 1 Hypervisor inside a Type 2 hypervisor is fraught with peril. I'm surprised you actually got this far, to be honest. :)

SQL Server Reporting Services: ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

Hey everyone, So I am trying to get a report onto the server, and in BIDS I kept getting a login screen repeating over and over when I tried to deploy my report, so I tried to upload the file at http://<servername>/Reports This worked, but then trying
to run this report from http://<servername>/Reports did not work either because "An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Cannot create a connection to data source 'FTYDataSource'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection) For more information
about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors" Anyways I tried to add a New Data Source (which I would use in the report) at http://<servername>/Reports, type ODBC, with the connection string Dsn=blah_blahblah.
I try to test the connection here and get the error ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified This is really getting old fast, everything I try, a new error comes up. Granted I am new at this,
but this still should not be this troublesome. Does anyone have any ideas on what could FINALLY allow me to just put a report out onto the server?!? THANK YOU in advance for ANY help.

Hi,
Please try setting the credentials of the datasource.
1. Double click and open the datasource in your project.
2. Click on the credentials tab, and click on option button 'Use this username and password'
3. Enter the username and password to connect to the datasource
4. Deploy or upload the datasource to the report server and try accessing the reports.
Hope this helps.

SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY ( [MYSQLSRV], 'SELECT * FROM students' )
it comes back with
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "MYSQLSRV" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "MYSQLSRV".
I cant understand what I have done wrong . Any help in this would be great as Ive hit a bit of a brick wall

Hi Robert3975,
In addition to other post, please also note the following things.
1. If you use the 32-bit driver on a 64-bit machine, please run the 32bit version of "odbcad32.exe" by running "c:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe"
from Start/Run menu and
create your ODBC DSN. However, for the 64-bit driver, use c:\windows\system32\odbcad32.exe to create your ODBC DSN. For more details, please review this similar
thread.
2. Expand the folder Providers under Linked server directory in SSMS and go to properties of MSDASQL provider and configure it properly as described in this blog:
Creating Linked server to MYSQL from SQL Server.

Postfix relay=none, ... status=deferred (Host or domain name not found...

Hi,
I actually posted this question 2 weeks ago but under the wrong topic. So, first of all wanted to apologise for double-posting... but since no one replied, I thought I'd try again under the right topic.
I've been trying to solve this all day today (that was Feb 26th). I used to be able to send emails but for some reason it does not work anymore. At first I thought it was a problem with php (I use entropy pack php 5.2.6) but after searching the topic, I think it is a problem with my network. BTW OS is 10.5.5 and Postfix version 2.4.3
First of all, after computer restart, I don't think postfix starts automatically
Running 'sudo postfix start' gives me:
postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system
Looking at '/var/log/mail.log' I find:
Feb 27 12:51:04 AMs-MBP postfix/qmgr331: AA70A7A7C77: from=<[email protected]>, size=842, nrcpt=1 (queue active)

Running 'sudo postfix check' does not give me any errors
Checking my '/etc/resolv.conf' it has nameserver 192.168.1.1
Running 'ifconfig | grep netmask | grep -v 127.0.0.1 | awk {'print $2'}L' gives:
192.168.1.5
Checking http://switch.richard5.net/2006/08/19/fatal-open-lock-file-pidmasterpid/ and running 'launchctl list' gives me a long list but no item matches org.postfix.master
Running 'ps aux|grep postfix' gives
AM 546 0.3 0.0 599820 468 s000 S+ 1:41pm 0:00.00 grep postfix
_postfix 331 0.0 0.0 599816 824 ?? S 11:56am 0:00.04 qmgr -l -t fifo -u

_postfix 519 0.0 0.0 599768 752 ?? S 1:36pm 0:00.01 pickup -l -t fifo -u
Running 'postconf inet_interfaces' at first gave me
inet_interfaces = localhost
which I changed to All in '/etc/postfix/main.cf'
I looked at http://www.postfix-book.com/debugging.html
Running 'telnet localhost 25' gives me
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying fe80::1...
telnet: connect to address fe80::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...

221 2.0.0 Bye
Connection closed by foreign host.
But running 'telnet 10.1.2.233 25' gives me
Trying 10.1.2.233...
telnet: connect to address 10.1.2.233: Operation timed out
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
Running 'ping 134.169.9.107' takes a long time. After a while I stop it and get:
PING 134.169.9.107 (134.169.9.107): 56 data bytes
^C
o
+ 134.169.9.107 ping statistics ---
28 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
I have not idea what the problem is and/or how to fix it. I know the messages get to the postfix daemon but for some reason they do not continue on their way.
Please, does anyone have an idea of how to fix this?
TIA,
Elle

Dynamic IP addresses with DynDNS Updater (or equivalent) makes it pretty darned reliable, particularly if you buy DynDNS' Mailhop Forward service, which prevents the likes of roadrunner.com and aol.com from blocking mail coming from your server just because it lives in dynamicIP-land. Way cheaper than paying your ISP extra for a static IPA, too, and totally acceptable for low-volume, residential-based servers for personal not-for-profit use.
Regarding reliable delivery to a dynIPA server, you are only at risk of non-receipt for perhaps a few minutes immediately following when your ISP rotates your WAN IPA, until DynDNS Updater (or equivalent) updates the DynDNS (or equivalent) servers with your new WAN IPA. But that's really not a problem because I think all, well, okay, most, smtp servers will queue for a redelivery attempt if the initial delivery attempt just happens to occur at that time.
I wouldn't suggest this practice for high-volume enterprise-class servers or for people trying to run a bootleg mail server business for profit (besides, the ISP would shut it down as an abuse of terms of service, anyways), but for low-volume, residential-based servers for personal use and enjoyment, which I suspect is the case for the O.P., I can't say that I find anything unreliable about my dynamic IP-based mail server.

On what website/link did you received this error message ??

The server was not found or was not accessible.

I've upgraded to a Windows 8.1 machine, and installed SQL Server 2012 (version 11.0.3128.0), and SQL Server Express 2008 R2 (v 10.0.5500.0).
I've created a database in the 11.0.3128.0 instance, and populated it by restoring it from a .BAK from another server.
I've opened Visual Studio 2012, and accessed the database via the Server Explorer, with no problem.
I've copied a running web app to this same machine, and opened it in Visual Studio 2012. But when I attempt to run in debug mode, my first attempt to access the database gives me this error:
"A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
(provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)"
Here's my connection string, as defined in the <connectionStrings> section of my App.Config:
<add name="EMSDataModelContainer"
connectionString="metadata=res://*/EMSDataModel.csdl|res://*/EMSDataModel.ssdl|res://*/EMSDataModel.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="Data Source=xps-8500;Initial Catalog=EMS;Integrated Security=True;multipleactiveresultsets=True;App=EntityFramework""
providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
Thanks in advance.

Restlet Error "The server has not found anything matching the request URI"

I want to serve some static html pages along with my restlet services from the same app ( running in Tomcat )
Here is my web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app id="WebApp_ID" version="2.4"
            xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"

            xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
                 http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">
   <display-name>first steps servlet</display-name>
   
   <context-param>
      <param-name>org.restlet.application</param-name>
      <param-value>
         firstSteps.FirstStepsApplication
      </param-value>
   </context-param>
   
   <servlet>
      <servlet-name>RestletServlet</servlet-name>
      <servlet-class>

      </servlet-class>
   </servlet>
   
   <servlet-mapping>
      <servlet-name>RestletServlet</servlet-name>
      <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
   </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
Here is my Application router class
public class FirstStepsApplication extends Application
     @Override
     public synchronized Restlet createInboundRoot()
          Router router = new Router(getContext());
          // Defines only one route
          router.attach("/hello", HelloWorldResource.class);
          router.attach("/login", LoginResource.class);
          router.attach("/", BasicResource.class);
          return router;
}I've gone back to the basic first steps example.
It works fine if the url pattern is <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
localhost/rest/login returns a string from my LoginResource, same too for /hello
However a static html page I have /Mypage.html does not get returned when I enter the URL /MyPage.html
However, if I then modify the url pattern to be
<url-pattern>/login</url-pattern>
and then enter the url /MyPage.html I will get the html page.
But ...... I get the error "The server has not found anything matching the request URI" when I enter the url /login which worked ok the first case.
What must I do in order for both Restlet & Static HTML resources to work together?
Thanks ... J

yes, basicResource is my own class. It's a catch all for restlet requests that don't match any of the other ones. It just returns String = "My catch all resource"
Because you highlighted it I decided to try and remove it from my Restlet Router. Presto, it now works, the login & hello requests are serviced by my Restlet resources and the MyPage.html requests are served the mypage.html file. This now brings another question. If from my servlet mapping in web.xml all urls are to be handled by restlet "/*", how then does a mypage.html request not get serviced by my restlet? Seems to be just passed through the restlet framework when there is no router to match it? what do you think?
