SUPPORT Q&A - ARAS on XP SP3 with IIS 5.1

ClaudioB - Friday, July 6, 2012 3:48 AM:

Hello,

I have installed ARAS Innovator 9.3.0 SP2 on my laptop with XP Professional SP3 with IIS 5.1

I get the license and saved it in InnovatorServerConfig.xml.

When starting Innovator i got the login screen but no database in the dropdown list.

I thought that was a license issue but I verified again the license and all is correct.

Does anyone had a similar issue and any idea of what to check ?

 

Thanks, Claudio

Claudio, Will need more information : Did you install the SQL server on your laptop ? The Aras innovator installation package requires you to have a defined SQL server instance and then during installation it will allow you to create a new database. Refer to the installation guide for the step by step instructions.In a nutshell you will need to install SQL server first, ensure you have IIS (which you already have) , ensure you have the .NET framework. Also follow the IE settings and run the sdns tool. Thanks, Pravin

Hi Pravin,

yes I had installed SQL Server 2005 before. I also see the database and tables with SQL Server Management studio.

I have .NET framework installed and run the sdns.exe tool.

I configured also IE 8 settings.

Thanks, Claudio

Claudio, Can you cjheck the entry for configured database in the ServerConfig.xml? it will be something like this: <>" dbType="SQL Server" /> Thanks, Pravin

The config entry did not render correctly in the previous post. So adding again. Verify the entry for configured database in the ServerConfig.xml

Removed the xml tags. There should be an entry for the configured DB in the serverconfig.xml : DB-Connection id="InnovatorSolutions" database="InnovatorSolutions" server="(local)" uid="innovator" pwd="" dbType="SQL Server"

Hi Pravin,

this is the entry for DB connection :

 <DB-Connection id="InnovatorSolutions" database="InnovatorSolutions" server="(local)" uid="innovator" pwd="innovator2012"/>

I can succesfully login using SQL SERVER Management Studio with the data listed in InnovatorServerConfig.xml for DB-Connection
