Error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server

Posted by on January 3, 2009 No comments

When connecting to SQL Server database using SQL Server Management Studio, the following error appears:

TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
——————————

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 – Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)

For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=2&LinkId=20476

——————————
BUTTONS:

OK
——————————

Solution:

The SQL Server instance service (MSSQLSERVER) is not started. Start the service using the Control Panel Services panel, or use SQL Server Configuration Manager:

SQL Server Configuration Manager (Local) > SQL Server 2005 Services > SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)

Invalid parameter for GetAttachment()

Posted by on December 30, 2008 No comments

Problem:

After running the following process:

Instance: 7082
Type: Application Engine
Name: GL_JRNL_IMP
Description: Flat File Journal Import

The following error appears in the message log:

Invalid parameter for GetAttachment(). Check environment variable PS_FILEDIR in process scheduler. (5825,118)

Solution:

In My Computer, navigated to E:PSOFTFS900webservPSOL_fsdmoinstalledAppsPSOL_fsdmoNodeCellPSOL.earPSOL.warhtmldoc

Searched under this htmldoc directory for all files containing PS_FILEDIR.

In file:///E:/PSOFT/FS900/webserv/PSOL_fsdmo/installedApps/PSOL_fsdmoNodeCell/PSOL.ear/PSOL.war/htmldoc/eng/psbooks/fglr/htm/fglr07.htm#d0e5496

the following appears:

You must define an environmental variable, PS_FILEDIR. This variable defines the temporary flat file location on the process scheduler that runs the file import process. If you have a Unix or OS390 process scheduler, you define this in the psconfig.sh file. If you have an NT process scheduler, you define this in the control panel [Micro Focus XDB Server for NX 5.1 Service Controller]. Please refer to the GetFile PeopleCode reference for more details or contact your system administrator.

Setting PS_FILEDIR in Microsoft Windows Environments To set the PS_FILEDIR environment variable in Microsoft Windows environments:

Close any open DOS windows.

On your desktop, right-click the My Computer icon and click Properties.

The System Properties dialog appears.

Click the Advanced tab.

In the Environment Variables section, click the Environment Variables button.

The Environment Variables dialog box appears.

In the User variables for section, click New.

A New User Variable dialog box displays.

In the Variable Name field enter PS_FILEDIR.

In the Variable Value field, enter c:.

The path you specify is the location from where the system will upload files.

Click the OK button to exit the Environment Variables dialog box.

Click the OK button again to exit the System Properties dialog box.

Solution:

This is acceptable according to the documentation for the step:

Important!
If you receive the following warning message during the Build and Alter Step of the Build and Alter task, it is due to the Record being deleted by the Project. Please ignore the warning: Record definition does not exist. Record not processed. (76,73). If you receive the following warning message during the Build and Alter Step of the Build and Alter task, it is due to the field being deleted by the Project. Please ignore the warning: Field to be deleted has data present. Record processed. (76,23).DB2 Customers may need to recreate All Views manually by running createvw.dms using Datamover. This is because some views might become inoperable due to dependencies.If Run Create Triggers Script step fails because a trigger does not exist in the database then go to the CREATETRIGGERS.sql script in the Output directory, remove the offending statement and rerun the script.

COBOL targets failed to compile or link

Posted by on December 29, 2008 No comments

Problem:

After deploying files from MP5, the COBOL programs must be compiled. However, some files do not compile:

E:tempcompile>set PS_HOME=E:PSOFTFS900
E:tempcompile>set COBROOT=E:cobolBase
E:tempcompile>cd /d E:PSOFTFS900setup
E:PSOFTFS900setup>cblbld E: tempcompile

Aborting this process !!! EXEs/GNTs/INTs are not going to be copied/replaced…
.
Please fix the errors and rerun this batch file !!!!!!!
.

Symptoms:

The problem is with COBOL compiles, where if the customer doesn’t have all the products licensed when we compile the COBOLs from recent Maintenance Packs we get errors. This is due to the fact that CA is not looking at the licensed products or dbcodes to validate licensed products. Therefore errors are displayed during the compilation as copybooks are not supplied for the non licensed products.

Here’s an example list of the COBOLs that don’t compile:
CEPCSQL2, CPPICSTI, CPPIPRDN, INPADYN3, INPADYN4, INPAPROC, INPIVALD, INPOTEST, INPSDRCT, INPVIADJ, INPVPROC, INPVVALD, INPXPROC, SFPDISUE, SFPEPROC, SFPFPROC, SFPREVAL

Here’s a copy of what’s in the dbcodes.ep:
EP PeopleSoft FIN/SCM Database
EP PeopleSoft FIN/SCM Demo Database
AM PeopleSoft Asset Management
CM PeopleSoft Cash Management
CO PeopleSoft Common Objects
TR = PeopleSoft Deal Management
EO = PeopleSoft Enterprise Components
EPO = PeopleSoft eProcurement
GL = PeopleSoft General Ledger
AP = PeopleSoft Payables
PO = PeopleSoft Purchasing

Cause:
Not Applicable

Solution:

Tools incident 714685000 was created. The incident is considered to be an enhancement for change assistant in a tools versions greater than 8.45.

If the customer does not have licenses for the modules related to the cobol files that are failing, they can ignore the compile errors. If they do not want to ignore the error messages, they can remove the erroring files from the src directory (move them to another directory) and run compile again.

Reference:

E-CA Change assistant not checking the license before compiling the cobols (Doc ID 623178.1)

Cannot locate any Change Packages in the apply directory

Posted by on December 27, 2008 No comments

Problem:

In Change Assistant (on glwebapp), navigated to Tools > Apply Change Packages. Went through wizard and reached Select apply directory. Chose directory E:staging, but the following error appeared:

Cannot locate any Change Packages in the apply directory

Solution:

Choose directory that contains the zip file of the downloaded patch (e.g. the directory that contains upd745700.zip, E:stagingCDImagescd849-FinMP5Cumulative).

Compiling COBOL Programs Using cblmake

Posted by on December 24, 2008 No comments

set PS_HOME=E:PSOFTFS900
set COBROOT=”C:Program FilesMicro FocusNet Express 5.0Base”
E:PSOFTFS900srccblwin32cblmake FSP*
E:PSOFTFS900srccblwin32cblmake GLP*

Note that the above commands assume that the current working directory is the directory with the COBOL programs. It may be a good idea to run the cblmake, after running cblbld and the current working directory is that with the output of the cblbld programs (e.g. E:tempcompile_20081223b).
